Some of those have been laying off people for months like their stock was crashing. It just took a while for the stock price to catch up :)
Also I think we have a bit of an AI bubble that's popping. I closed out all of my positions on #NVDA on July 1st which wasn't exactly the peak but pretty close to it.
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!

TFW you sound really radical but you’re just an ordinary moderately well-read person with a decent education and common sense watching late-stage capitalism and geopolitics hurtle 99% of humanity towards destruction.
A reminder that assistive technology (AT) covers more than screen readers. Using “AT” to mean solely SRs is a regular source of confusion between and among clients, vendors, and practitioners, so yeah I have things to say about it: adrianroselli.com/2024/08/at-i…
A screen reader is a single element of the overall set of assistive technologies. In practice, however, each is often used as a metonym for the other. Well, hello there. It’s nice to see you.
Come and give a talk at the upcoming LibreOffice Conference 2024 which will take place from October 10 – 12 in Luxembourg! Our Call for Papers is open, and we are extending the submission deadline until August 31.

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.
