Meson

NUUG, the Norwegian Unix user group, has invited Jussi Pakkanen, creator of the Meson build system, to Oslo to give a talk titled "Building a Super 8 Film Scanner at Home". Pakkanen repaired a 1970s projector and built his own scanner using a Raspberry Pi, stepper motors, 3D-printed parts and machine vision to digitise old film reels.

Ann Jameson gives an interview arguing that artificial intelligence delivers its real value when human workers and AI agents operate together rather than separately. She frames AI agents as tools that complement people's judgment and skills, suggesting the most meaningful gains come from combined human-machine workflows. The interview is drawing attention amid growing business interest in agentic AI.
