Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu Blog: Hey Hi (AI) in Healthcare: 5 Use Cases and 1 challenge [Ed: Buzzwords]
The accelerated developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence in healthcare have set the stage for some interesting transformations. By enabling better care for patients, optimizing processes, and generating new opportunities for medical research and treatment, these technologies are indeed going to change the healthcare industry radically. According to a study conducted by the Berkeley Research Group, it’s estimated that Hey Hi (AI) will be able to save the US healthcare system approximately $360 billion annually as well as boost diagnostic accuracy by an average of 15 to 20%.

Quentin Santos ☛ Upgrading to Debian Trixie
I had been running Bookworm for quite a while. It has now been stable for more than a year. In other words, Trixie has now been testing for more than a year, and will most likely become the new stable in less than a year.

Wired ☛ The US Could Finally Ban Inane Forced Password Changes
A new draft of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology's “Digital Identity Guidelines” finally takes steps to eliminate reviled password management practices that have been shown to do more harm than good. The recommendations, which will be mandatory for US federal government entities and serve as guidelines for everyone else, ban the practice of requiring users to periodically change their account passwords, often every 90 days.

Kushal Das: Updated blog theme after many years
One of the major reason of using static blogging for me is to less worry about how the site will look like. Instead the focus was to just write (which of course I did not do well this year). I did not change my blog's theme for many many years.
But, I noticed Oskar Wickström created a monospace based site and kindly released it under MIT license. I liked the theme, so decided to start using it. I still don't know HTML/CSS but managed to change the template for my website.
You can let me know over mastodon what do you think :)
