That may sound blunt, but given the ongoing instability, it’s clear MITRE’s reliability as a cornerstone partner is compromised. That doesn’t mean they’ve lost all relevance, but sole dependence on MITRE for stewardship of key frameworks has now become risky.

"MITRE just terminated senior leadership at the Center for Threat-Informed Defense in a cost cutting exercise. It appears, at this early stage, MITRE can no longer be relied upon to be the steward of the back bone frameworks for global threat-informed cyber security."

We're closer to anthropomorphic misinterpretations than to Rise of the Machines.

Carnegie-Mellon research seems to confirm: LLMs often fail at long-horizon reasoning, social interactions, and tasks requiring genuine understanding. They perform noticeably better when tasks align with their training data, not when abstract or novel reasoning is required. arxiv.org/pdf/2412.14161

To me, this reads like we’re recreating Atlas Shrugged, but with venture capital and blockchains. Now it’s upgraded with crypto, AGI, network states, and Substack manifestos.

Exciting to see PHP adding one of my favourite Clojure features: function piping/threading. A big step forward for anyone with a soft spot for functional programming! Now let's get this finalized in JavaScript as well 👍

Just a gentle reminder that universities - even top-tier ones with significant operating budgets - are not safe from cyber threats and incidents. If it seems that "nothing ever happens" in your academic environment, that's because people are constantly hard at work to avoid it. bit.ly/3HhpibK

"Quite simply, 'LLMs are doing reasoning' is the 'look, my dog is smiling' of technology." Provocative article that certainly puts the AI/LLM hype into some sobering perspective. Though IMHO even then the Stochastic Parrot can have some value - when recognized as such.

It does have one great feature though - it'll still have security patches after October 14, 2025.

Discomforting conclusion: the global incident around shocking zero-day CVE-2025-53770 that took everyone by surprise… wasn’t surprising at all. Just a remix of a familiar pattern. And more like it? Not surprises, but inevitable.

Nothing new here. The real value of AI is in augmenting humans, not replacing them. LLMs require a human in the loop and verified tracebacks to be reliable — and that takes significant manual effort. No automated method today can guarantee accuracy in high-stakes use.

Het is niet zozeer een vlaag van zinsverbijstering maar eerder de toepassing van de wettelijke vereisten in de Codex Hoger Onderwijs, waarbij de instelling zich ook aan controle mag verwachten, en niemand gebaat is met complicaties. Zie o.a. www.ugent.be/nl/jobs/taal...

Edge computing on steroids: LLMs run locally on regular laptops, thanks to the rise of NPU-accelerated PCs. With AI hardware baked into new chips, running models like LLaMA or Mistral offline will become a private, practical way to handle your data.

Education tops the list with 31% of its public-facing assets vulnerable. This inherently open, dynamic environment demands understanding of asset ownership, purpose, context, and attacker perspective to manage exposure. That’s exactly what #NIS2 is pushing for. Security starts with context.

Absolutely! Feels like the perfect match I never knew I was missing. Really happy with the switch — it’s genuinely invigorating!

From Python mastery to AI-enhanced image analytics, my colleague Lara is transforming digital art history. Her innovative work at Ghent University promises to be a game-changer for cultural heritage!

"Chatbot initiatives are largely unrelated to observable firm characteristics"... that's a polite way of saying that adoption and investment is driven by corporate FOMO, without a clear and concrete understanding of the value it can or will bring to the organization.

Real-world studies show the actual impact of using generative AI is far more modest than predicted by RCTs, with average time savings of 2.8% and no measurable impact on earnings. The hype is real, but so is the friction... this is no silver bullet. www.nber.org/papers/w33777

Absolutely delighted with my new set of GMK MTNU "Space Cadet" keycaps, modeled after the legendary Symbolics lisp machine keyboards ❤️⌨️

"There Can Be Only One..."

ITIL4 tells you: “We’re modern now! You can be Agile!” But it does so with a straight face, still offering a 1000-page library of decomposed "practices" and governance models that lead right back into a bureaucracy trap. ITIL4 paradoxally only succeeds when you fully discard ITIL’s original spirit.

My kingdom for a LISP Machine.... not as clumsy or random as today’s tools. A more elegant system… for a more civilized age.

Atomic Keyboard Launches 'Severance'-Inspired MDR Dasher with Intentionally Missing Escape Key The tech world is buzzing with excitement as Atomic Keyboard unveils a meticulously crafted replica of the iconic keyboard featured in Apple TV+'s hit dystopian series "Severance."

So cool! I love the aesthetics of the show — and the keyboard specifically gives off vibes of the (in)famous Symbolics Space Cadet keyboard (though that one had too many keys, rather than a few missing).

3 days after a major cyberattack Wallonia's public services, this regional government remains disconnected from the internet. Public services and sites like Wallonie.be are offline. A rebuild of a safe perimeter has been initiated and an estimated time to restore is expected later.
