El Gobierno andaluz pedía 5 años de cárcel por “desórdenes públicos” a tres activistas tras una acción sindical, la Justicia ha absuelto a las trabajadoras por falta de pruebas.

Acabo de descubrir que en Estados Unidos las Normas técnicas que se incorporan a las leyes por referencia son, según la jurisprudencia, de dominio público o al menos se permite su consulta y copia gratuita por interés del derecho de defensa.

En España, hay que pagar para acceder a las normas UNE, referenciadas en mucha legislación. (Recuerdo que mi primera mascarilla casera la hice con la norma Francesa porque la española no estaba disponible).

I see Microsoft still haven't fixed the crash in Phone Link when you focus the message list. So, here's my app module to work around this and add some other conveniences. I can't be bothered adding type annotations, etc. to submit to NVDA core, nor can I be bothered submitting this as an add-on, so this will require developer scratchpad to be enabled. gist.githubusercontent.com/jcs…

Written by an 18 yrs. old:

“I wish I was around when people had blogs or even myspace. This era was deeply personal and creative. Most writing on the internet was individual, not written in search of “SEO” or profit but driven by the need and want of people to share knowledge–pure curiosity.”

I really like Drew's framework here dividing current AI use-cases into Gods (human replacement, which I think of as still mostly science fiction), Interns (assistants you delegate closely-reviewed tasks to, which is most of how I use LLMs today) and Cogs (smaller tools that can more reliably serve a single purpose, like Whisper for transcription) - more of my own notes on this here: simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/20/…

@matt @forrestbrazeal I've not felt the anger personally, because I've been releasing open source code for 20+ years so I already default to "I want people to be able to reuse my work as much as possible" - but I absolutely understand the people who ARE angry

If I was an artist and someone trained Stable Diffusion on my work without my permission and then started competing with me for commissions that used my own personal style I think I'd feel very differently about this all

@matt @forrestbrazeal I don’t feel like I am stuck in step 4, but I can’t get to step 5 because I do very much believe that (at least in their current incarnation) AI is very much going away. I am worried about the collateral damage that this particular dead tree is going to cause when it smashes into the rest of the ecosystem. E.g.: nvidia currently has a market cap of 11% of GDP, which I do not think is sustainable. But who on earth is going to get a positive ROI on ChatGPT at $20/mo?

@glyph Yeah. Today I went down a rabbit hole looking into what it would take to reproducibly, deterministically build some video assets for a little side project I did. It reminded me of how some hard-core free software folks, particularly the GNU Guix developers, have been working on bootstrapping a whole OS with minimal dependence on existing binaries. We're never getting that for these big models.

@matt @glyph the models I can run in my laptop today are leagues ahead of the models I ran on the exact same hardware a year ago - improvements in that space have been significant

This new trick from Microsoft looks like it could be a huge leap forward too - I've not dug into it properly yet though github.com/microsoft/BitNet

We compared smart ring heart rate data with smartwatches, and the results may surprise you (...Instead, it's the Amazfit Helio Ring that won the hardware accuracy contest. And since Amazfit recently discounted it to $199 and made its pricey subscriptions free, the Helio Ring has become more appealing.
On the other hand, the Helio Ring has unresolved problems like the limited number of sizes (three), short battery life (four days), and lack of automatic workout detection.) androidcentral.com/wearables/s…

Our smart ring heart rate accuracy test measured how Oura, Samsung, Amazfit, Ultrahuman, and RingConn do when compared against smartwatches.

In Wales, if you want a bwca or bwbachod (a goblin who cleans your home), then leave out a cup of cream each night (or better yet, a cup of ale). However, bwcas hate teetotalers. If you refuse to drink alcohol, they may kick you or throw your plates at you.

Tak to nezávidím.
Chce to hodně promastit, ideálně nějaký krém s kakaovým máslem, makadamovým olejem. Ale dobrý je i samotný olivový olej, nebo sádlo to je TOP.
No a před prací doporučuji promazat vazelínou, ta vytvoří tenký film, který chvilku vydrží i ten Jar.
Doporučovat rukavice je předpokládám zbytečné.

Musí to mít ve složení to, co jsem psal třeba kakaové máslo makadamový olej, olivový olej, nebo klidně použít to sádlo.
Pokud se bavíme o krému z drogerie, tak doporučuji tento: rossmann.cz/krem-na-ruce-s-oli…

Obsahuje jak kakaové máslo, tak olivový olej, vstřebává se rychle.

Ongoing discussion, but it looks like Bitwarden may be starting to make moves towards no longer being open source:

Previous issues opened against the SDK have been met with replies that suggest they have no intention of reconsidering the licensing decision:
