 The Atrocious State Of Binary Compatibility on Linux and How To Address It
Ignaz Semmelweis - Wikipedia
 "Hungarian physician and scientist of German descent who was an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures [...] He could offer no theoretical explanation for his findings of reduced mortality due to hand-washing, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it. In 1865, the increasingly outspoken Semmelweis allegedly suffered a nervous breakdown and was committed to an asylum by his colleagues. In the asylum, he was beaten by the guards. He died 14 days later" Punished for innovation.

AI code suggestions sabotage software supply chain
: Hallucinated package names fuel 'slopsquatting'
 [S]ecurity and academic researchers have found that AI code assistants invent package names. In a recent study, researchers found that about 5.2 percent of package suggestions from commercial models didn't exist, compared to 21.7 percent from open source or openly available models. Running that code should result in an error when importing a non-existent package. But miscreants have realized that they can hijack the hallucination for their own benefit.
