From chalkboards to e-learning, solar boosts schooling in an Indian floodplain
On remote river islands in eastern India’s Assam state, solar power is helping children access education more reliably, reports Mongabay India’s Shailesh Shrivastava. Schools in Assam’s Brahmaputra River Valley recently introduced digital classroom infrastructure, bringing audio-visual learning to children. For some students, this shift from chalkboard-only teaching has been a game changer. “Until last year, […]

Abuse in Buddhism: The Law of Silence https://openbuddhism.org/library/videos/2022/elodie-emery-wandrille-lanos-present-buddhism-the-unspeakable-truth/

‘Abuse in Buddhism: The Law of Silence’
In a brief video in English, the French filmmakers Élodie Emery and Wandrille Lanos introduce their documentary ‘Abuse in Buddhism: The Law of Silence’ (Arte, 2022). It can be watched here.

The whole thing is optimized for scams, deception and other criminal behavior:
- user interface that deceptively pretends it's a human you're talking to
- claims from companies highly exaggerate capabilities
companies and "experts" constantly hype "AGI" which they (funnily enough) do to both make investors greedier and spread fear and as a distraction because these algorithms can't actually do what they keep promising
- large-scale accounting and financial fraud (e.g. what Nvidia is doing with circular selling)
- biggest case of copyright infringement in history
Note: I think the underlying technology is really cool, and definitely has use cases and can be used for actually good things. But: some technology just has more downsides than upsides, and some should only be used by experts in controlled environments. Leaded gasoline, asbestos and chlorofluorocarbon are also all really cool technology.
In this case perhaps the techology itself doesn't do anything inherently bad, however the people making it are lying about what it can do, the people selling it are motivated purely by greed and the people using it (often forced to do so) are being deceived.

ScaleDiff: Scaling Difficult Problems for Advanced Mathematical Reasoning
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have shown impressive capabilities in complex problem-solving, often benefiting from training on difficult mathematical problems that stimulate intricate reasoning. Recent efforts have explored automated synthesis of mathematical problems by prompting proprietary models or large-scale open-source models from seed data or inherent mathematical concepts. However, scaling up these methods remains challenging due to their high computational/API cost, complexity of prom…

Selenskyj berichtet von schweren Kämpfen um Pokrowsk
Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj hat von schweren Kämpfen um die Stadt Pokrowsk im Osten des Landes berichtet. Dabei helfe vor allem der Einsatz der ukrainischen Bukowina-Brigade in der benachbarten Stadt Myrnohrad.

Ukraine an wichtigem Knotenpunkt unter Druck
Noch hält die Ukraine die Stadt Pokrowsk im Osten des Landes. Doch russische Truppen rücken immer weiter vor. Die Einnahme der umkämpften Stadt könnte für Russland einen strategischen Vorteil bedeuten.
