@wilk j'intuite qu'aujourd'hui on gaspille beaucoup de ressources, mais qu'avec le temps on va arriver à distiller l'essentiel des LLM et qu'on aura moins besoin de tout "compiler" le Web : ca sera fait une fois pour toute. Peut-être faudra-t-il le faire juste pour les nouveaux documents. cc @gdupont @Aedius @jeeynet @UnDesAnonymes @velospinner
@nitot Aussi de nombreux travaux académiques intéressants pour des modèles d'attention bien plus efficaces (sans le problème de coûts quadratiques) et qui seraient plus frugaux en données et en ressources.
Ça va prendre un peu de temps (l'industrie vient juste de découvrir le raisonnement dans l'espace latent...).
Je reste optimiste que l'éclatement de la bulle serait une bonne chose.

I know that all the academics are on LinkedIn now so I have to post announcements etc. there, but it's an uncomfortable and unsettling experience actually reading it. Why do they put up with it? It's kind of sickening.
@neuralreckoning I feel the same way. I guess at least some of them actually like it?
There's a few PIs I know who have totally drunk the kool aid and are posting all kinds of thought leader-esque nonsense on there.
Quand on regarde ce que nous coûte individuellement et collectivement l'usage de la voiture, il devient irrationnel de privilégier ce mode de transport !
Aucune métrique ne désigne la voiture comme meilleure. Alors 📢 si vous êtes décideur au niveau local, régional ou national, faites le choix de la raison, amplifiez les budgets et le développement des transports en commun et des modes actifs 👏 #TransportEnCommun #TC #Marche #Vélo
@PippiPunkstrumpf hab ja vor allem am 7.7. Geburtstag :)
@mellifluousbox My local (favourite) cafe has a big TV showing constant slop generated scenic driving videos. They're fucking awful. Sweeping scenic flythrough shots following an AI generated car with AI generated people laughing and smiling. Grim. Especially if you sit through a complete loop and carefully notice all the glitches.
But. It's a great cafe. I just need to remember to not sit facing it! or perhaps I should take in a tv-b-gone.
Anyone happen to have ROM dumps of a IBM Wheelwriter 3500 (or one, and the ability to dump them)?
I'm helping someone repair one that has some corrosion damage on the main motherboard, and it looks like the eeproms may be lost.

Governments individualising a collective issues are only doing harm. Asking individuals to "stock up on supplies" is not taking action, it's the government giving up, setting the stage for a scarcity they are contributing to engineering, possibly with more wars.
I have ranted many times on why the war vocabulary and mindset are not good for environmentalism, one reason is exactly this prepper mentality that is only atomising us more while accepting this crisis as "inevitable"

BBC presenter in huge trouble after telling truth about Israel
BBC presenter Katty Kay has caused outrage by referring to the skirmish in Gaza as a “genocide”, just because that’s what it is, according to both the dictionary and international law.
Kay is one of the BBC’s most prominent journalists in the US and a regular on MS NOW’s Morning Joe.

As Japanese ministries have requested more spending for next fiscal year while some major items remain unresolved, attentions has shifted to how large the final budget will become and how the government will pay for it. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/09/04/economy/budget-finance-ministry/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #japaneseeconomy #sanaetakaichi #financeministry #budgets #satsukikatayama
Envie d'apprendre à vous autohéberger sans grosses connaissances techniques ? De découvrir Yunohost ?
Je serai demain au Carrefour Numérique pour le Premier Samedi du Libre et je ramènerai dans mon sac quelques Lenovo M710Q (cf photo) avec dans l'idée de proposer un atelier où on installe Yunohost dessus (on a des claviers et des écrans au CarreNum) et on peut repartir avec en payant le truc au prix que ça a coûté à l'asso Parinux (25 balles)
