IEEE 3152: A Standard for Transparent Human and Machine Agency Identification

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-10-30 22:00:09

Introduction The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), deepfakes, and automated decision-making systems has made it increasingly difficult for people to tell whether they are communicating with another human being, an AI, or a blend of both. This poses serious questions about trust, security, and social cohesion, especially in high-impact domains like healthcare, finance, and media.

Finding a Successor to the FHS

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-17 02:48:40

Finding a successor to the FHS [LWN subscriber-only content] The purpose of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) is to provide a specification for filesystem layout; it specifies the location for files and directories on a Linux system to simplify application development for multiple distributions. In its heyday it had some success at this, but the standard has been frozen in time since 2015, and much has changed since then. There is a slow-moving effort to revive the FHS and create a FHS 4.

Brief explanation Teletext is a weird technology. Although often ridiculed as completely archaic, it’s very popular in many countries still today. It seems like the public broadcasters in Europe just can’t get people to stop using it, no matter what new services they provide. You most likely know teletext in the British version, with blocky text graphics in few colours, that came intertwined with the analogue TV-signal. This is called World System Teletext.

Robert Triggs / Android Authority The Pixel Stand debuted alongside the Pixel 3 and 3XL almost seven years ago, and it was my favorite accessory for those phones. Adding useful Google Assistant features and faster Qi charging made it a must-have accessory for Pixels, and I used it every day. Outside of the iPhone and HMD Skyline supporting MagSafe and Qi2, respectively, wireless charging has been stagnant since then. 2021’s Pixel Stand 2 made some minor improvements to the Pixel Stand formula,

Hulu’s days look numbered, but there’s reason for Disney to keep it around

Bob Iger, the CEO of The Walt Disney Company, announced today that Disney will "fully integrate" Hulu into the Disney+ app in 2026. Although a company representative told Variety that people will still be able to buy standalone subscriptions to Hulu, we can't help but wonder how long that will last.
