You didn't refute anything. You just laughed. I quoted from epistemology to say that it may be true the claim of some bot traffic was affected. You are a troll regardless of subscribing to any agenda.. just by arguing in bad faith.

    In Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes, Imre Lakatos argues that science does not progress through the simple falsification of individual hypotheses, as Karl Popper’s account might suggest, but through the competition and evolution of scientific research programmes. Each programme has a hard core of fundamental assumptions protected by a protective belt of auxiliary hypotheses, which scientists modify when observations conflict with predictions. A programme is progressive when modifications lead to novel, corroborated predictions, and degenerating when changes merely accommodate known anomalies without producing new successes. Therefore, a single counterexample does not automatically refute a theory: scientists should evaluate how a research programme develops over time and whether it advances knowledge relative to its rivals.

    So, basically, we need to nuke more Datacenters 🤓 I hope you agree with me. Unless you have a conflict of interests..?

    And there's even a very bad marketing department at Mistral (french company, only frontier lab at Europe) because they call "vibe" their coding harness. They don't even value their products, which is fine (they suck)

    It seems to have a focus into typing Bangla language. I don't have a use for it but still find it refreshing that we are seeing a better representation of languages other than English.

    Don't worry about vpn failures. I have used headscale for a long uninterrupted time. Yes, eventually you may need physical access. That event is as frequent as having a broken boot partition :p be careful to read changelogs when applying updates or have some other means to access of you will... Just saying that for me it has worked perfectly fine.

    A particular party in the BBC may not have been able to measure a difference in their monitoring. Okay. But I would take it with a grain of salt...

    Science can't prove something didn't happen. We will never have evidence for that.

    We can only collect evidence for things that occur. In this case, we have some anecdotes. And, not having evidence is even more anecdotal.

    [...] We should heed the wisdom of the late Carl Sagan that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence: the claims from Coxon and his ilk are the most extraordinary a technologist can make, and we must demand evidence commensurate with the claims. That said, we should not expect the public to understand LLMs, critical infrastructure, bioweapons, extinction biology, etc. — that burden must lie with those making the claim. The lesson that I learned (shamefully) decades ago is that domain experts, by way of their expertise, implicitly hold the public’s trust — and we must not abuse it. It is incumbent upon us to be circumspect in our claims — and maximally so when raising the alarm.

     

    Hallo, ich bereite mich gerade auf die theoretische Führerscheinprüfung vor. Hat jemand vielleicht ein PDF oder ein E-Book? Die Fahrschule hat mir Unterlagen auf Deutsch über eine App geschickt, die ich nicht so einfach übersetzen kann (es wären 300 Screenshots). Deshalb benutze ich für diese Nachricht einen Übersetzer. Die Prüfung selbst werde ich in meiner Muttersprache ablegen. Vielen Dank im Voraus!

     

    Apparently Gemma 4 (by deepmind) are very energy-efficient for their capabilities.

    The post itself seems to recommend a company (neuralwatt.com) but it's unrelated to project wagtail (an open source CMS made with django) so I consider it legit, they're just vouching for this new approach that shows users their ecological footprint basically.

    (Of course, running these at a homelab is possible. hence the relevance of this info for the community)

     

    I've just found the project. And it seems very interesting take. I am adding a link to their blog entry discussion on a system to combat LLMs abuse via a web of trust.

    From their site:

    We envision a place where developers have ownership of their code, communities can freely self-govern and most importantly, coding can be social and fun again.
