10 años desde su último disco y más de 30 desde sus inicios, ¡Vuelve Ostia Puta! Desde Tarrasa.
A pesar de que escriban mal «hostia» es una gozada toparse con este disco en directo de un grupo tan mítico que nos trae los ritmos y todas las peculiaridades del punk español, tan distinto de las versiones internacionales.
Ponle una orejuca y prepárate para los pogos… Punk is not dead!
Éramos una pareja feliz que convivía ignorando de manera tan descarada el elefante en la habitación que quedaba poco para que le pusiésemos nombre y lo llevásemos al veterinario para administrarle las vacunas necesarias.
Este libro de fantasía contemporánea nos muestra a la imparable detective Parabellum.
Tras un comienzo que rememora a la película de Memento, comienza a vivir diferentes aventuras con distintos grados de intensidad y disparate, en una sucesión digna de las investigaciones holísticas de Dirk Gently.
Durante sus andánzas nos presentará distintas criaturas de diferentes mitologías como son los vampiros, los golems o los centauros, que pese a la diversidad no desentona y encaja perfectamente.
Como pasa en muchas historias policiacas los distintos casos se van entremezclando y aunque a veces resuta predicible sabe mantener la tensión a la vez que da lo que promete.
Nosotros creamos a los dioses; la humanidad creó a los dioses. Sin nosotros, sin nuestra adoración, sin nuestra fe, los dioses no existirían. ¿Y qué hacen ellos? No interferir, no ayudar, nada… Pero ¡nos lo deben!
Es un buen libro palomitero, en ningún momento aburre e incluso llega a sacar unas cuantas sonrisas. Sin embargo, no es tan bueno como para que me lance a continuación a devorar toda la saga, pero sí lo suficientemente bueno para que queden en lista y así recurrir a Parabellum cuando necesite letras que sean fáciles de digerir.
Game prototype using AI assisted graphics As a fun little prototype, I wanted to see how much work would it be to use AI to create as much of the art for a 2.5D point and click style game as possible.
Geoffrey Hinton publishes new deep learning algorithm Geoffrey Hinton, professor at the University of Toronto and engineering fellow at Google Brain, recently published a paper on the Forward-Forward algorithm (FF), a technique for training neural networks that uses two forward passes of data through the network, instead of backpropagation, to update the model weights.

Formalizing Python F-Strings Python’s formatted strings, or «f-strings», came relatively late to the
language, but have become a popular feature. F-strings allow a compact
representation for the common task of interpolating program data into
strings, often in order to output them in some fashion. Some
restrictions were placed on f-strings to simplify the implementation of
them, but those restrictions are not really needed anymore and, in
fact, are complicating the CPython parser. That has led to a Python
Enhancement Proposal (PEP) to formalize the syntax of f-strings for the
benefit of Python users while simplifying the maintenance of the
interpreter itself.

Over the last few days, I used AI image generation to reproduce one of my childhood nightmares. I wrestled with Stable Diffusion, Dall-E and Midjourney to see how these commercial AI generation tools can help retell an old visual story – the intro cinematic to an old video game (Nemesis 2 on the MSX). This post describes the process and my experience in using these models/services to retell a story in higher fidelity graphics.

Bertrand Meyer et al.: The concept of class invariant in OO programming Class invariants — consistency constraints preserved by every operation on
objects of a given type — are fundamental to building, understanding and
verifying object-oriented programs. For verification, however, they raise
difficulties, which have not yet received a generally accepted solution. The
present work introduces a proof rule meant to address these issues and allow
verification tools to benefit from invariants. It clarifies the notion of
invariant and identifies the three associated problems: callbacks, furtive
access and reference leak. As an example, the 2016 Ethereum DAO bug, in which
$50 million were stolen, resulted from a call

AI chatbots are not a replacement for search engines The idea of an all-knowing computer program comes from science fiction and should stay there. Despite the seductive fluency of ChatGPT and other language models, they remain unsuitable as sources of knowledge. We must fight against the instinct to trust a human-sounding machine, argue Emily M. Bender & Chirag Shah.
Decades of science fiction have taught us that a key feature of a high-tech future is computer systems that give us instant access to seemingly limitless collections of knowledge through an interface that takes the form of a friendly (or sometimes sinisterly detached) voice. The early promis
