If you'd like to know how my day has been, let's just say I had to get a rust app's binary onto someone's 32-bit Debian 7 (wheezy) machine. Kernel 3.2.0. Version of glibc unsupported by any version of rust.
Ended up cross-building it to i686-unknown-linux-musl from a modern amd64 host.

T kabinet wil alleen in de regio medische hulp geven en zet daar alleen geld op in.
Maar waarom tegenwerken als ziekenhuizen vragen om hier enkele zeer ingewikkelde gevallen te mogen behandelen? Dat gaat dan vooral om medewerking verlenen ipv een financieel plaatje... Toch?

Tjonge wat een puinhoop.
Dat krijg je ervan als amateurs als Trump en Witkoff zich met diplomatie gaan bemoeien.
Het enige positieve van de top gisteren is dat er niks concreets bereikt is. De Europese leiders hebben weten te voorkomen dat Zelensky bij een Putinkruisje moest tekenen. Verder wordt er gespeculeerd over een ontmoeting tussen Putin en Zelensky maar dat heeft Rusland helemaal niet toegezegd. En mijn mening: dat gaat Putin niet doen, hij stuurt op zijn best Lavrov met z…

Das UN-Plastik-Abkommen wurde nicht versehentlich begraben, sondern vorsätzlich sabotiert. Während 350 Mio Tonnen Plastik jährlich unseren Planeten vergiften, zählen Ölkonzerne ihre Gewinne. Konsensprinzip als Blockadewaffe? Mission erfüllt.

From SALAMANDRA to SALAMANDRATA: BSC Submission for WMT25 General Machine Translation Shared Task
In this paper, we present the SALAMANDRATA family of models, an improved iteration of SALAMANDRA LLMs (Gonzalez-Agirre et al., 2025) specifically trained to achieve strong performance in translation-related tasks for 38 European languages. SALAMANDRATA comes in two scales: 2B and 7B parameters. For both versions, we applied the same training recipe with a first step of continual pre-training on parallel data, and a second step of supervised fine-tuning on high-quality instructions. The BSC subm…

Frag mich ob die Analogie zu "KI"-Lernen funkioniert:
Whats the point of "AI" Feedback, if I still have to pay a teacher to fix it?
Wenn wir annehmen, dass Lernen ein ähnlich komplexer Vorgang wie programmieren ist, dann können wir das übertragen. Vielleicht ist ja "KI"-Lernen wenig mehr als ein Rollenspiel für Leute, die sich wie Lehrende fühlen wollen, ohne die eigentliche Arbeit zu machen.
Bringt uns der Begriff vibe learning weiter?

Search for Z/2 eigenfunctions on the sphere using machine learning
We use machine learning to search for examples of Z/2 eigenfunctions on the 2-sphere. For this we created a multivalued version of a feedforward deep neural network, and we implemented it using the JAX library. We found Z/2 eigenfunctions for three cases: In the first two cases we fixed the branch points at the vertices of a tetrahedron and at a cube respectively. In a third case, we allowed the AI to move the branch points around and, in the end, it positioned the branch points at the vertices…

GitChameleon: Evaluating AI Code Generation Against Python Library Version Incompatibilities
The rapid evolution of software libraries poses a considerable hurdle for code generation, necessitating continuous adaptation to frequent version updates while preserving backward compatibility. While existing code evolution benchmarks provide valuable insights, they typically lack execution-based evaluation for generating code compliant with specific library versions. To address this, we introduce GitChameleon, a novel, meticulously curated dataset comprising 328 Python code completion proble…
