ÚLTIMA HORA | Acuerdo entre patronal y sindicatos para subir los salarios un 4% en 2023 y un 3% los dos próximos años.
El pacto salarial, aún a falta de cerrar detalles, también se vincula a un aumento del 1% adicional si la inflación queda por encima de las subidas acordadas eldiario.es/economia/acuerdo-p…

We’ll work with the Central Indian Government to champion Element, Matrix, decentralisation and the importance of private communications. But we’ll never compromise our mission to provide secure comms for all.
Element is one of 14 messaging apps blocked by the Central Indian Government which - we believe from media reports - relates to Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

Распахал огород к своей радости не встретил ни одной медведки. Фотка с позапрошлого года. Это беспозвоночное МФУ практически неуязвимо: роет, бегает, летает, плавает, поёт, точнее стрекочет. Медведка родственник сверчка. Насчёт кусаться не знаю, возможно может слегка. Брал её за спину, извивается, но не укусила.
Вредит тем, что повреждает корни растений когда роет свои хитрожопые тоннели. Иногда думаю, а что было если размер этих существ достигал метров трёх в длину? Думаю , что люди бы их истребили, либо вытеснили, а может наоборот. #медведка #насекомое #огород
Есть предельный размер насекомых в граничных условиях этой планеты. И он связан в основном с неэффективностью их дыхательной системы (трахейный тип дыхания)
@menelion Доставка кислорода к органам и тканям насекомого осуществляется благодаря системе ветвящихся трубочек – трахей, соединенных с отверстиями (дыхальцами) на поверхности тела.
По мере роста насекомого объем его трахей увеличивается на 20% быстрее, чем масса тела.
Эта особенность дыхательной системы делает невозможным увеличение размеров тела выше определенного предела. Предельно возможный размер для жуков оказался равным 15 сантиметрам. Эта теоретически вычисленная величина совпадает с фактическими данными: самые крупные современные жуки имеют около 15 сантиметров в длину.
В конце палеозойской эры (250 – 350 миллионов лет назад) насекомые были намного крупнее, чем сейчас, что объясняется повышенной концентрацией кислорода в атмосфере.
Американские энтомологи показали, что мелкие размеры насекомых обусловлены строением их дыхательной системы. 300 миллионов лет назад, когда воздух на Земле был богаче кислородом, насекомые были намного крупнее.

@xurizaemon several years ago already, the top users I know of did one million requests/second on average. That's *one site* doing 86 billion requests per day. Times many users. Times a gradual growth over 25 years.

My twitter's like a graveyard these days. All I see posting are companies, news things, that's it. I thought I'd miss it but 90% of the people I care about have moved here anyway. Feels like we all just up and moved house to a cleaner, less damp, less moldy environment. Nice.
@FreakyFwoof Hiya folks, good news - we've managed to unlock our account. We had some access issues for a while, which our Head of Social mentioned to Sarah when she asked last month. We're really looking forward to getting stuck in now.
This is a brilliant release from the National Federation of the Blind about why they are scaling back #Twitter and how they have embraced the #Fediverse by coming to #Mastodon.

New to Mastodon. Thought id give an #introduction!
My name is Dillon. I am a biologist and Science communicator mainly active on the instagram. If im not hyperfixating on my R code, I am creating online courses and educational material, being opinionated about conservation, or out looking for frogs!
Anyone mind giving me a primer for how Mastodon works? Im still very new to it all

@jcsteh @leonardder I saw the performance PR and discussion re Rust. Here's an interesting new project that you might wish to keep your proverbial eye on. They're calling it Mojo, a new language based on Python that can be incorporated into existing projects and can be compiled. Uses the same syntax. Right now, they're focusing on machine learning. But the developments are coming pretty fast.
Ah thanks! That's very intriguing. I don't quite follow how it handles normal (non-accelerated, non-fn) Python code without an interpreter or runtime as the article suggests. I guess we'll find out.
Yeah, I also thought about the possibility of using Mojo in NVDA when I saw it the other day (right after I mentioned Rust on another Mastodon thread).
@matt It sounds like it compiles the whole thing. I could be wrong though. The text sort of left the deployment section when the narrative was getting good.

Leaked Google document: “We Have No Moat, And Neither Does OpenAI”
The most interesting thing I've read recently about LLMs - a purportedly leaked document from a researcher at Google talking about the huge strategic impact open source models are having simonwillison.net/2023/May/4/n…
SemiAnalysis published something of a bombshell leaked document this morning: Google “We Have No Moat, And Neither Does OpenAI”. The source of the document is vague: The text below is …
@matt it proved that it was all possible to run on end-user hardware - and the openly licensed trained-from-scratch LLaMA alternatives are already starting to emerge simonwillison.net/2023/May/3/o…
The first openly licensed model I've seen trained on the RedPajama dataset. This initial release is a 7B model trained on 200 billion tokens, but the team behind it are …
After thinking about this a little more, I wonder if OpenAI still has a moat in GPT-4's ability to work with image inputs. The applications of that for accessibility sound really promising, though most of us don't actually have access to that feature yet, so I suppose it could turn out to be smoke and mirrors.
Yet another multi-modal model combining a vision model (pre-trained CLIP ViT-L/14) and a LLaMA derivative model (Vicuna). The results I get from their demo are even more impressive than MiniGPT-4. …
Wow, yeah, that _is_ impressive. Can't wait to see what could be done with a model like that but fine-tuned for accessibility (e.g. render the UI in this image as something like an accessibility tree).
@matt That one is okay but still makes up a lot of its responses and so does Mini GPT. I can't tell which one is worse at the moment. But, I'm completely impressed at the speed of innovation and progress here. I have so many tabs pinned for comparison purposes that I'm beginning to lose track.
@matt it felt like that itself was also addressed pretty directly in "Individuals are not constrained by licenses to the same degree as corporations". Not just Llama, but things like using GPT output to train other models. Those individuals are benefiting greatly from big companies'work in a way the companies themselves can't benefit from each other
OpenAI could get a moat if they were willing to do more investments into the ChatGPT plugin ecosystem, especially if they added some kind of (embeddings-based) long-term memory.
The right likes to claim that the left is taken over by a “woke mind virus.” But they fail to look in the mirror at their own obsessive attacks on anything in our broader culture that they perceive as tinged with ”wokeness.”
Whether it’s corporations, movies, or beer, the right sees U.S. culture slipping away from them. This attack on “woke” is their sad attempt to cling to a world they feel should rightly be theirs.
But in so doing, often they can’t even agree on what is “woke” and what is “anti-woke.” Or what the terms even mean.
Today in #TheBigPicture, we try to understand conservatives’ growing infatuation with the term and how it developed from merely a word to a representation of the party's severe disconnect from reality. Read more here: thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p…
