Ist "Volt Typhoon" eigentlich dasselbe wie "Vanguard Panda"? Das zunehmende Namenschaos von #Cybercrime Entwicklern und Gangs bringt die #Attribution von Cyberangriffen durcheinander - nicht nur, dass viele Hersteller ihr eigenes Bezeichnungssystem eingeführt haben, sondern sie ändern die Bezeichnungen im Laufe der Zeit auch noch. Lesenswerter Artikel bei heise, wie die Benennung von Cybercrime Gruppen vonstatten geht:
#cybersecurity #cybersicherheit

"Another opportunity created by climate #attribution science is the potential to quantify the *future* #ClimateDamage of proposed fossil fuel projects.

Just as fossil fuel companies seek to avoid responsibility for #ClimateChange damages caused by historical emissions, companies also work to trivialise the future contributions of new coal, gas, and oil projects when seeking development approvals."

RenewEconomy · Emissions to impact: How climate science will hold fossil fuel companies to accountAdvances in climate attribution science are helping to make the case that individual fossil fuel companies should be made to pay compensation for climate change linked disasters.

So frustrating. At least 3 works that appear on Google Scholar cite the UC Access Now Demandifesto (and the one in my pinned tweet SHOULD have cited it), but there's no way for me to use the Demandifesto as a link for my own Google Scholar Profile.

I've tried uploading it to Hcommons in addition to Internet Archive, but the platform has been so error-ridden that I still cannot publish it there. (I am told Google Scholar will pick up Hcommons.) #UCAccessNow #Attribution

Just a reminder. The world is burning, not just #LosAngeles.
This is not normal. Its the impact that has #ClimateChange on us.
It's the attribution of our way to ignore planetary boundaries again and again.

Act. Now. It's overdue.

I'd also like all the porn shared on here to be ATTRIBUTED to the best ability of the people posting it, but that's an old mania of mine and I've long since made peace with the fact that most people don't share it or give even a tiny fuck about it.

As for the alt descriptions, I have OK vision but I'm still amazed how often I need (want) alt text to help me puzzle out WTAF I'm looking at. Being somewhat face-blind and color vision impaired no doubt contributes to that.

Later today at #CHR2024, we are going to present our work on #Multilingual #Stylometry!

We isolated the influence of #language on #authorship #attribution #accuracy by translating multiple #corpora into each others' languages while keeping #corpus composition stable.

Interactive showcase: showcases.clsinfra.io/stylomet

Full paper: ceur-ws.org/Vol-3834/paper9.pd

This work was developed within the @CLSinfra project in #Trier, #Krakow and #Prague with Artjoms Šeļa, Evgeniia Fileva and Julia Dudar.

"Across all these cases, 74% were made more likely or severe because of #ClimateChange. This includes multiple cases where scientists found that an extreme was virtually impossible without human influence on global temperatures."

Another recent advance is “impact #attribution”, which quantifies the social, economic and/or ecological impacts arising from the influence of climate change on extreme weather."

"Can #attribution studies be used to hold polluters to account?

Yes. Such studies are increasingly being used as evidence of responsibility for #climate damage in landmark legal cases, such as Juliana v United States and Lluiya v RWE. Attribution science is also being used to inform negotiations over funding for the UN’s “loss and damage” fund, which would finance the rebuilding of communities after climate disasters."

Today's mildly infuriating internet thing:

The official NASA #APOD API does not return a credit line/license for most images that are actually copyrighted or shared under an attribution license.
Even worse, the documentation states that images that don't return a copyright field are under public domain, which is almost never the true!

I hope NASA will fix this soon:
