Je tu nový STEM z první půlky listopadu:

Opoziční 🆎 ANO a 🟫 SPD by dosáhly na 122 mandátů, ústavní většinu. SPD by byla nyní na druhém místě, předskočila 🟦 ODS.

Strany koalice SPOLU oproti minulému STEMu přišly o 3.2 pb, naopak 🟩 STAN +1.1 a ⬛ Piráti +0.6. Největší posun oproti minule zaznamenalo ANO +2.4 pb.

Mimoparlamentní strany až na SOCDEM a PRO spíše ztrácely. Trikolora byla takřka beze změny.

Strongly agree. I'm firmly against attempts to slow down or stop the advancement of AI, however we define it, because it has so many good uses. In the Oxide and Friends episode on accessibility, we briefly touched on how machine learning can help in that area, as with iOS VoiceOver's Screen Recognition feature. But we do need to guard against abuses of any technology.

I've been watching @tao 's approach to running the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa formalisation project with interest. This is Terry's second Lean project; the first was essentially a single-author project, and my understanding is that part of the motivation for embarking on the second was that he wanted to see what a collaborative formalisation experience was like. Having been involved in several of these I would definitely say that they're great fun and that you learn a lot both about cool Lean tricks and about mathematics (e.g. from talking to other humans about the material).

Terry's project will probably be completely done in a week or two, which is of course on the face of it extraordinary -- it is adding more and more weight to the claim that top modern research level combinatorics can now in many cases be formalised in real time. See Bhavik Mehta's post xenaproject.wordpress.com/2023… on my blog for more discussion on the topic of formalising modern combinatorics.

One thing I've learnt from the PFR project is a really powerful use of Patrick Massot's blueprint software: Tao has written LaTeX to break proofs down into bite-sized parts, turning a complex proof into a series of simpler lemmas, proved in LaTeX not Lean, all represented as blue nodes in the blueprint graph teorth.github.io/pfr/blueprint… . Every couple of days there are updates from Terry on the Lean Zulip (eg here leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narr… ) about who's doing what, and what is up for grabs. Most blue nodes seem to be done in one or just a few Lean sessions, they are nicely-sized projects.

I think these techniques will work very well for a focussed week-long PhD student workshop based on formalising some of the theories needed for the Fermat proof.

Current chatbots can pass the Turing Test, right?

A lot of people have claimed this, but Cameron Jones Benjamin Bergen of UCSD actually tested the claim!

(Spoiler Alert: The answer is "no, they don't pass.") arxiv.org/abs/2310.20216

After two and a half years of rewrite, #Fractal 5 is finally out! Get the #GTK 4 #Rust #Matrix client from flathub.org/fr/apps/org.gnome.… and enjoy new features such as #EndToEndEncryption, location sharing, or multi-account with Single-Sign On 🚀

“Better things aren’t possible” feels like such a failure of imagination.

I’m reading the wasmtime 2023 report, and among the myriad of features they added one of the things they talk about is how they used formal methods to systematically eliminate miscompilations.

Like let this sink in. This is a (critical!) bug in a from-scratch LLVM alternative, built using bleeding-edge designs, for an in-progress language (Wasm/WASI), built by a handful of people. And they did it

@phanecak Super, ale docela jim to trvalo. Ono je to s eurem těžší. Mám kurz na rozpoznávání bankovek, kde jsem se dozvěděl, že zatímco padělky korun jsou většinou mizerné, tisknuté na inkoustových tiskárnách, padělatelé eur jsou schopnější, dokáží napodobit většinu ochranných prvků, dokonce i rubotisk. Některé ukázkové padělky nešly rozeznat od pravých. Z Číny se dají některé ochranné prvky objednat. Asi jediná nevýhoda eura, když pominu design, který je subjektivní.

We’ve had an incredible response to our Holiday Gift Guide. And as a result we’ve added a new feature to the page - search! You can now check if a gift idea has been submitted already, or you can easily go back and find that gift you read about before and wanted to find the link to the product. Check it now, and keep on adding! doubletaponair.com/2023-gift-g…

I wonder if anyone here is using or has used Humanware’s StellarTrek device for actual heavy-duty travel? I am trying to read more about its features, but cannot find too many on this website: store.humanware.com/hus/stella…
Thx for any ideas!

I really don't see the sense of spending such an outrageous amount of money on a blind ghetto device like this. If you want a device with buttons instead of a touch screen, I wonder would the Blind Shell phone along with some apps from its catalog approximate what this thing does for a fraction of the cost? The last time I looked at the price on this it was almost $2000 Canadian.

Ich habe schon mit anderen Projekten zu viel zu tun. Aber natürlich gibt es in MediaWiki PDF und DJVU.

Bei epub weiß ich nicht, ob das zum einen ein freies Format ist und ob es bei den WikiMedia-Projekten in den Scope passt. Falls beides der Fall ist, könnte eine MediaExtension programmiert werden (vielleicht gibt es die aber bereits, weil ja nicht nur Wikimedia MediaWiki verwendet) und dann darüber abgestimmt werden ob epub zugelassen werden soll.

@Life_is de.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB

"EPUB […] ist ein offener Standard für E-Books vom International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF), der den älteren Standard Open eBook (OEB beziehungsweise Open eBook Publication Structure, OEBPS) ersetzt."

Andernfalls hätte ich meine Bibliothek nicht darauf basiert. Ist übrigens der Quasi-Standard, den die meisten Reader (Hard- oder Software) unterstützen. DJVU ist da eher "Nische", und PDF hat keinen dynamischen Textfluss.

Gajim 1.8.4 has been released 🥳

This release comes with usability improvements. A shortcut for quoting previous messages has been added 💬, and focus behavior for the message input box has been improved significantly 👓. Thank you for all your contributions!

What a discovery: LMI interface for changing bios settings from the userspace on modern Lenovo laptops is a thing for quite some time already. It's built into the linux kernel since 5.17. I have supported Lenovo laptop for a few months and I have only found about it today. It's nice for IT professionals but for blind users like me it's great too.

Thank you for making it so easy for me to see that you have hacked into 3 of my very own devices throughout the year. I'm going to be holding onto all of my finds that have your name all over it and not by me because I have absolutely no reason to hack my own belongings. I will be adding this to stuff I have already for my attorney.

Most recently, automated collection of support addresses 💬 has been launched. For retrieving the support addresses of a provider, "XEP-0157: Contact Addresses for XMPP Services" is used. Support addresses will be available in version 2 (v2) of the API. The FAQ section explains how these properties can be provided by server admins.

Many providers started adding support addresses so they can be retrieved automatically 💡
