Wir müssen annehmen, dass die KI den Weg ins Internet und den Angriff eigenständig entwickelt hat, sagt DFKI-Chef Antonio Krüger im FAZ-Interview (€) über den OpenAI-Vorfall bei Hugging Face. Sein Fazit: Europa braucht eine eigene, souveräne KI-Modellfamilie statt US- oder China-Systemen. (FAZ, Alexander Armbruster) #KI

Abstract: Adhesion between NaI(Tl) single crystals and the walls of quartz ampoules remains a major limitation for Bridgman growth under sealed conditions, particularly for applications requiring ultra-radiopure scintillators for dark matter searches, where sealed handling is essential. In this study, ammonium iodide (NH4I) was used as an additive to generate HI in situ, thereby suppressing the NaOH-SiO2 reaction that forms adhesive sodium silicate phases. Small-diameter crystals (8 mm) were first grown to determine the NH4I concentration required to eliminate adhesion. The optimized condition was then applied to the growth of a large NaI(Tl) crystal. A crack-free and bubble-free NaI(Tl) crystal with dimensions of 3 inches in diameter by 3 inches in length was successfully grown. The crystal exhibited a light output of 59,000 photons/MeV, which is higher than that of the commercial NaI(Tl) crystals used as references in this study.

Researchers at ETH Zurich and Anthropic have published an impressive study demonstrating just how fragile online anonymity has become. They show that large language models can be used for de-anonymisation on a large scale. With unrestricted internet access, their agent was able to re-identify users of Hacker News and participants in Anthropic interviews with a high degree of accuracy, based solely on pseudonymous online profiles and conversations: #Anonymity #LLM

Toen Trump afgelopen week zei dat Israël en Hamas akkoord waren kom je dit natuurlijk al weten. Dat was even waar als dat Iran hem zou smeken om een deal.

Michael Adam (SPD) tritt als Bürgermeister von Bodenmais zurück – zum 31. Dezember 2026. Der Marktrat muss den Antrag noch annehmen.
Als Grund nennt er das Klima im Marktgemeinderat. Den Rücktritt aus freien Stücken bezahlt er mit seinen Rentenansprüchen.
Unabhängig davon, wie man zu ihm steht: Wenn Kommunalpolitik Menschen so zermürbt, ist das ein Problem, das über eine Person hinausgeht.
