This is crazy. Someone managed to run #Linux (v4.4) on an #Intel 4004 #CPU from 1971, one of the first commercially available microprocessors ever.

The craziest part: It became possible by writing a #MIPS #R3000 #emulator in 4004 #assembler that fits into the 4096 bytes¹ of addressable memory. The emulator then runs the kernel. My mind is blown.

¹) The memory was eventually expanded to 8192 bytes via some bank switching trickery as the article explains

Two rules (from @getsentry who started this):

1. Give money to the open source projects which are probably 90% of your code base. $2000 per developer on your staff, although you can and should do better than that. (@buttondown are doing better than that.)
2. Report every year on whether and how you did it.

This seems like a good idea today, and a thing where non-participation should feel weird tomorrow.

Personal update: if you need a guy who is passionate on innovative in-the-wild zero-day exploit detection and advanced vulnerability research, please let me know. DM open. :)

Australia's biggest radiology clinic I-MED has handed over private medical scans from potentially 100,000s of Australians to buzzy tech startup Harrison. ai to train their AI — and patients had no idea.

Neither company responded to questions about it.

The situation with #academic publishers has been a growing issue for years now, and it's good to see some action taken about it. But this should have come long ago from national regulators, not some UCLA professor. Petition your national #antitrust agency to join or replicate locally.

Shameful how some people objectify Palo Alto Networks.

So Cards Against Humanity just sued M*sk for ruining a piece of land they bought in Texas for their customers...
