How is artificial intelligence going be deployed? We know historically that when machinery came into production, John Stuart Mill said, machinery should lighten the load of labor, I cannot understand why when machinery is actually employed, it is doubling the load of labor. [1/8]

RISC-V Vector Extension overview
🔗 http://0x80.pl/notesen/2024-11-09-riscv-vector-extension.html

"The goal of this text is to provide an overview of RISC-V Vector extension (RVV), and compare — when applicable — with widespread SIMD vector instruction sets: SSE, AVX, AVX-512, ARM Neon and SVE.
[…]
The vector extension is quite a huge addition. It adds 302 instructions plus four highly configurable load & store operations."

Audon is a service of realtime audio chat for Mastodon, Akkoma, GoToSocial, and Calckey.

Other Fediverse platforms supporting Mastodon API may work, but not tested (yet).

Innovation thrives on collaboration.

57 research groups will receive €571 million from Horizon Europe to address some of the most complex scientific problems, including:

🔸 Eco-friendly and strong concrete
🔹 Studying the oceans' nitrogen cycle and its impact on the climate
🔸 Digital technologies to bring communities together

The European Research Council Synergy Grants awarded today will boost collaboration pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery.

#EU

Back in 2022 there was a moment of opportunity to create a truly open social media ecosystem. Many people created accounts here and the system struggled deal with the influx. Also, technical features were lacking. So, people mostly went back to X, and ignored the risks associated with using the 'master's tools.' Some later went to Threads, again ignoring the obvious risks.

We should be smarter than that now.

kinda like how Uber doesn't advertise any of their jobs as being for Uber's self-driving cab division (you know, the one that has killed at least one person)

they're hiring for a "autonomous ride-hailing service"

@TimothyNoah Very nice piece. BTW have you seen this journalists oriented feature here on mastodon?
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/

If you have not yet deleted your #Twitter account, NOW is the time to do so.

It will be part of the incoming autocrat’s auxillary surveillance services soon.

I know it’s been shared widely but just in case anyone missed it: this is what Israel did whilst everyone was distracted by #USelections2024 #Gaza

“Resettling or permanently reoccupying Gaza is not official Israeli policy, but senior Israeli defence officials recently told the Israeli daily Haaretz that with no other alternatives on the table, the government is aiming to annex large parts of the territory.”

But with no algorithm, how do you see any content? Isn't your feed dead?

So, this is the real beauty of Mastodon and why so many people really love it. You see only the content from those you follow. No invisible hand is pushing stuff at you. Now, this does take a little work to get up to speed, but really it is not difficult and there are lots of trick to help you. Just find interesting posts and follow the account.

Partisan Quick Guide To X Alternatives

So, you're finally deciding to leave X. Good for you. Here are your choices and you can pick more than one:

1. Threads - Commercial (Meta). Lots of popular ex-X accounts. Looks like X. No ads yet. Algorithm driven.

2. Bluesky - Commercial (Private). Looks like X, No ads yet. Customizable algorithm.

3. Mastodon - Open System Collective. Totally Awesome. Doesn't look like X. Threads/Bluesky bridges. No Algorithm (That's a good thing!)

Have you noticed that Big Tech companies like Google and Amazon are increasing their presence in the health sector? 👀

Health apps and wearable devices can provide new ways to empower people in managing their health - but they can also threaten privacy.

Nothing scares me more than the fact, that European politicians have sleepwalked into the largest security problem in European history.

The entire European security architecture is based on the premise, that the US is lead by someone trustworthy.

The internet monitoring is run by the NSA. All operating systems are American. Most military equipment, the F-35's — even the EU nukes are made in the USA.

And now this entire security foundation is ultimately controlled by the gangster president.

#HackerTrain to #FOSDEM bo!

Tam je tudi link (s popustom) do rezervacije nočnega vlaka in pa ankete, da izberemo točni datum.

V živo pa več kasneje danes na #Kiberpipa srečanju v @muzej ob 17.00 :)

Right now, here is the real problem - all the major cloud vendors are US companies.

Even with data centres in Europe, these companies will be complicit in whats coming - like IBM of the 1940's - they will enable Project 2025 to fulfil it's needs through technology.

They've set the whole system up so their is no choice, and Europe has been absolutely useless in setting up anything independent of this.

@lapor @EUCommission Yeah more and more like a colony or some banana republic :(

@EUCommission Are you out of your mind! How ignorant can you be to even say something like this about such a terrible corrupting sociopath.

We are on ULP strike. We gave #NYTimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.
