Tomas Kapler wrote that the woman died on September 30, 2026, in a hospital in Cambridge at the age of 90. According to him, MIT announced her death on October 7 and did not disclose the cause. He stated that she is survived by her daughter Lauren, son-in-law, two grandsons, four great-grandchildren, and siblings John, David, and Kathryn. In the obituary, the institute referred to her as more than just a pioneer. Kapler also described that the computer reported an overload three minutes before landing on the Moon, not a malfunction, and thanks to the design of the system, it safely deferred some tasks. According to him, few in the lab initially believed in this concept, but it proved itself during the landing. He also wrote that the woman advocated for the foundations of reliable programming and a safety net allowing for landing despite a software error, even though she was initially only allowed to make a note in the manual. #ZenyVeVede #Veda #Historie (translated)

Press Briefs reported that, according to an investigation by Mediapart, France Télévisions had considered entrusting Terrific, an Israeli company, with an interaction tool intended for viewers of the political show "L’Heure de vérité," scheduled for the 2027 presidential election. The tool would have also allowed for the collection of sensitive data on the political preferences of millions of French people, including users of the Franceinfo website. According to the account by Press Briefs, the CEO of Terrific had co-founded a company specializing in online political profiling and targeting, raising internal concerns about data protection and a risk of foreign interference. An employee of public broadcasting reportedly believed that a "French Cambridge Analytica scandal" had been narrowly avoided. Press Briefs also indicated that Mediapart reported that the contract had been established without a call for bids, even though an internal solution existed, and that the data protection officer had initially been unable to review the contract. Despite the alerts, management reportedly maintained the project before abandoning it, officially citing cybersecurity reasons, a few days after learning of the impending publication of the investigation. https://t.co/j1gM9yINvy #présidentielle #données #ingérence (translated)
