  1. 😅 Oh, the thrill of being serenaded by the poetic prose of Cloudflare's block page when all you wanted was to read about #Russ Cox's #ACM exploits! 🔒✨ Apparently, the real hero here is not Russ but your own IP, valiantly battling the internet's equivalent of Fort Knox. 🏰🔐

  2. Why shouldn't you use chatbot tools instead of search engines?

    2025 ACM Luiz André Barroso Award recipient Ricardo Baeza-Yates shares his concerns with #ACMBytecast.

  3. ⚡ Het aantal dynamische contracten in Nederland blijft toenemen.

    📃 8% van de huishoudens heeft inmiddels een dynamisch contract. Dat is 29% meer dan vorig jaar.
    📈 De gasprijs blijft volatiel door de aanhoudende onrust rond de Straat van Hormuz.
    ⛽ De gasopslagen zijn voor 41% gevuld. Dat is aanzienlijk lager dan de 61% op hetzelfde moment vorig jaar.

    Energieleveranciers mogen geen vaste contracten aanbieden waarbij de prijs van aardgas later toch kan worden verhoogd. Ook niet als er per 1 januari duurder groen gas moet worden bijgemengd. En ook niet als een jaar later een CO2-heffing in gaat. Dat zegt...

  7. Bol heeft naar aanleiding van ons onderzoek toezeggingen gedaan om haar online platform op meerdere punten te verbeteren in het belang van consumenten en verkopers. De webwinkel verbetert de snelheid van haar communicatie en klachtenafhandeling, maakt concurrentie tussen zakelijke verkopers eerlijker en zorgt voor een duidelijkere prijsweergave van producten. ✅

  9. #OTD in #ComputingHistory in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law, helping accelerate the development and adoption of accessible computing technologies.

    Over the years that followed, accessibility evolved from a niche feature into a core principle of technology design. Help us celebrate #DisabilityPrideMonth: acm.org/diversity-inclusion/aw #HCI #ACM #Accessibility

  10. Re: last boosts

    Is that post, and its replies, about #ACM?

    That it's even a reasonable (likely, really) possibility reflects poorly on the clear direction some, if not many or most, of the organization's leaders want to go.

    It's almost as if the thoughts and repeated warnings of female experts* are irrelevant, no matter how accurate they've proven to be over time...

  11. 🔄 Brancheorganisatie Thuiswinkel.org mag onderzoeken wat het effect is van retourkosten op het gedrag van consumenten. Dit initiatief past binnen de concurrentieregels.

  13. UPDATE: ACM responded to my email and has fixed the issue. The "Conference Papers" collection can now be downloaded as a PDF file.

    @ACM, I can't download " #SIGGRAPH Conference Papers '26: Proceedings of the Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques Conference Conference Papers" as collection PDF from #ACM #ACMDigitalLibrary

  14. Watching a talk by Titus Winters at the ACM2Y meeting, and he floats an interesting idea:

    youtu.be/lzFxmYn9onM?si=FF-XxH

    If tokens are a meaningful measure of human cognition and effort, then you can use them to empirically verify claims about thinking and mental effort.

    For example, take a claim that making a certain harder change now will pay off in the long run. You could set up experiments: take a common starting point; have one system make the hard change now, the other just leave it. Then run both through an identical sequence of changes -- fix a bug; add a new feature. Refactor something. Upgrade to a new library API. Then just compare total number of tokens.

    Of course, the initial assumption about a correlation between human cognitive load and tokens is...a pretty big one. And in the experiment, the final output may not work exactly the same, making a token-count comparison not quite apples-to-apples.

    But we do this kind of stuff all the time -- look at fMRI studies, or EEG measurements. We know those are flawed -- think of the "dead salmon in the MRI study" -- but this seems like an interesting avenue.

  15. Man, the ACM website -- the Association for Computing Machinery's site -- is so confusing with all the usernames and accounts.

    I am trying to subscribe to one of their mailing lists and it's asking me for an email address and a password. As an ACM member, I have an @acm.org email; my account also knows about my Macalester email, and my newer St. Olaf email. I have tried all of those, and all the various passwords in my password manager. None work.

    If only, somehow, someone who knows something about, say, human-computer interaction, or how to use, uh, computing machinery to run a website with user accounts, mailing list subscriptions, and so on.

    (Context: I just want to sign up for the SIGCSE-LAC list -- the special interest group for computer science education's committee for liberal arts colleges. computing-in-the-liberal-arts.. This should not be hard. Grrr.)

    Een stichting sleept de ACM voor de rechter en eist een schadevergoeding van 15,7 miljoen euro vanwege 'falend toezicht'. Dat gebeurt namens voormalige klanten van Flexenergie, dat in 2018 ten onder ging. Het is voor het eerst dat consumenten geld eisen van de ACM.

  18. RE: ec.social-network.europa.eu/@E

    Het online platform AliExpress krijgt een boete van de Europese Commissie van 550 miljoen euro wegens het overtreden van de Digital Services Act (DSA). AliExpress neemt te weinig maatregelen tegen de verkoop van illegale en onveilige artikelen en namaakproducten op het platform. Wij ontvingen hierover meldingen van gebruikers en hebben deze gedeeld met de Europese Commissie.

  19. Je kunt flink besparen op benzine en diesel door de keuze voor een tankstation. In veel gevallen scheelt het tot ongeveer 25 eurocent per liter. Dat is voor een volle tank zo’n €12,50.

    Vooral onbemande stations zonder winkel, die meestal niet aan snelwegen liggen, bieden vaak de laagste prijzen. Maar ook binnen dezelfde woonplaats kun je soms meer dan €5 besparen als je een andere pomp kiest. ⤵️

  20. I applaud the #ACM (@ACM) for making its digital library available for #AI training while insisting on the importance of proper attribution. This is roughly my position from Nov 2024.
    fediscience.org/@petersuber/11

    .....

    "Now Is the Time to Give #LLMs Access to the ACM Digital Library."
    cacm.acm.org/opinion/now-is-th

    "#AI systems are becoming part of the infrastructure through which scientific knowledge is discovered, synthesized, and applied; continuing to exclude ACM Publications from the reach of large language models (LLMs), AI-related research-focused pilots, and a growing list of discovery services embedding AI into their services will put ACM’s mission and community of authors and researchers at risk....The strategic question facing ACM is no longer simply whether to permit LLMs to train on ACM Publications, but how to ensure that ACM authors, their scholarship, and the version of record remain visible, attributable, and influential within an increasingly AI-mediated knowledge ecosystem."

  21. Oh, god I missed it back in May but the new ACM Policy on Authorship is pretty awful. I expected better from the #ACM than:

    Over the past few years, the
    computing community’s use of large > language models to support research and authorship has evolved rapidly, becoming a mainstream practice. ACM embraces any new technologies that have the potential to improve the efficiency and productivity of the research enterprise and assist with the authorship process.
