These folks are still looking for participants for this research study around the accessibility of job searching. Feel free to boost for reach. Accessibility of Job Search: Screener Survey for Remote Interviews docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Researchers at Northeastern University are conducting a research study to understand how blind and low vision people search for and apply to job and develop accessible solutions for enhancing their experiences during job search and application.
TIL that in the UK some low voltage electrical cables feature "an uninsulated plain copper earth continuity conductor". It is then sleeved by Green/Yellow only during installation for identification purposes.
Would you like to receive funding to attend #RIPE89 in Prague? If you plan to apply for a #RIPE Fellowship or via the RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (#RACI) the deadline is 16 August.
Of course, priority from the right doesn't count for #cyclists.😠
I see car on the left, seems slowing down. I take care of my right to give priority if something is coming from there. There is a bad view to the right because of a parking van so it takes me more time to see if I can continue freely. When I look back I suddenly see a car just in front of me. Braking intensively...😱
Looks like Apple are using standard prompt engineering for a bunch of their Apple Intelligence features, and someone on Reddit found the prompts. Some notes here: simonwillison.net/2024/Aug/6/a…
Reddit user [devanxd2000](https://www.reddit.com/user/devanxd2000/) found what look like the system prompts for various Apple Intelligence features in the `/System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_UAF_FM_GenerativeModels` folder on their instal…
What I find interesting is how gramatically incorrect the prompts are.
See e.g. "a set of question and its answer are provided" instead of "a set of questions and its answers are provided", or "by modify the draft response" instead of "by modifying the draft response".
I guess this is done to reduce token count.
I also find it interesting that they're using the term CSEAI as one of the possible categories. This heavily suggests fine-tuning (or just LoRa) to me, as the term isn't very popular, and even mainstream, large AI models struggle with defining what it means (likely "child sexual abuse and exploitation").
There's also an interesting "AI safety" configuration, albeit for a far, far older model, at /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_ImageCaptionModel/53d7bfd1009473aea8a86155f67a2c70905e9dae.asset/AssetData/ImageCaptionModel/runtime_parameters.json
The reason for this massive success is probably a post on news-ycombinator-com in May of 2024 and after the initial rise of viewers the algorithm took over and it became a self perpetuating thing. When there's enough interest, we might dig in the statistics to see if our theory is correct.
If you're thinking of going to why2025.org, the recurring Dutch hacker camp (@why2025camp), please sign up for one (or more!) volunteering shifts.
We would really appreciate it if you signed up for one of our AV shifts. Producing these videos takes a lot of effort from our volunteers and we can never have too many shifts assigned to a volunteer ahead of time.
I'd love to get into SDRs, but the windows software that controls the devices is rather inaccessible, at least from what I've tried. And the one piece of software that's relatively good, HDSDR hasn't had updates in some time.
Washington - Společnost Google si v rozporu se zákonem udržuje monopol na poli internetového vyhledávání, čímž potlačuje konkurenci a brání inovacím. Podle světových agentur to dnes uvedl soud v americkém Washingtonu.
"Google snažil uzavřít dohody s mobilními operátory, aby získal silné výchozí pozice ve smartphonech a ovládl v nich vyhledávání. Tvrdí také, že #Google platil deset miliard dolarů ročně bezdrátovým společnostem, jako je AT&T, výrobcům zařízení, jako je Apple, a výrobcům prohlížečů, jako je #mozilla aby se zbavil konkurentů a udržel si podíl na trhu s vyhledávači."
Jestli to projedou tak to možná bude poslední hřebíček do rakve pro #firefox :D
@FoxVK To není nic nového, že prohlížeče, včetně Firefoxu, nastavovaly Google jako výchozí prohlížeč na základě finančních příspěvků od Google. Byl/je to jeden z důležitých příjmů. @archos

@Lucinek já můžu doporučit Kagi. Jediná alternativa Google, u které nemám pocit, že dostávám horší službu. Používám to čtvrt roku a vůbec nemám potřebu občas přepnout do Google.
#NVidia #NVDA apparently going to delay it's next-gen #Blackwell B200 GPUs for the #AI sector ... Share price drops in pre-market trading from 107.27 at close on Friday to 93.85 at the time of writing (Down 12.5%) tomshardware.com/pc-components…
Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!
PSA per Nitrokeys own documentation their security keys DO NOT use the secure element within the device. You should probably start looking for a new key.
This is a joke based on the "biblically accurate angels" meme, which depicts angels as a terrifying mass of eyes and wings; the Graphviz drawing is a terrifying tangle of nested protocols.
Ah, got it. I grew up evangelical, but wasn't familiar with the "biblically accurate angels" meme, and didn't know what was biblically accurate about Ethernet being at the top and bottom of the stack as described in the alt text.
Because we know you can’t get enough of us, we are back again, and this time, as foretold, it’s to announce Fractal 8! There have been little changes since our release candidate, so let’s recap the main improvements since Fractal 7: Mentions are s…
I'm fucking dying at this. Dude literally started racist anti-immigrant anti-Muslim riots in the UK, then 4 days later realizes he's a brown dude who converted to Islam
I was reading his wikipedia article and while it's hard to tell how seriously to take it, it says:
Tate was raised Christian[139] but later became an atheist.[140] By early 2022, he identified as a Christian again, and said that he tithed £16,000 to the Romanian Orthodox Church on a monthly basis.[141][142] After a video of him praying at a mosque in Dubai went viral in October 2022, he announced on his Gettr account that he had converted to Islam.[143][144][145]
Updated the JAWS to NVDA guide with a Common Problems and solutions section, in an attempt to tidy it up a bit. feel free to either suggest what you would like to see included in the guide (except Eloquence), or edit it yourself. github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/… #nvda #Blind @NVAccess
After having carefully considered and weighed the witness testimony and evidence, the court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly. It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.
This ruling won’t just affect Google but also Apple, Amazon, Meta, and every other Big Tech company that the DOJ is going after!
Let me be blunt. After decades of not doing anything about tech monopolies, the U.S. government just showed it is not playing games!
