Macht uns KI dumm ?
Ende 2022 drängte sich ChatGPT in unser Leben und hat es schnell tiefgreifend verändert. Vielleicht werden künftige Geschichtsbücher die generative KI einmal mit der Erfindung des Buchdrucks vergleichen. Der Begriff „Künstliche Intelligenz“ ist laut der Philosophin Anne Alombert irreführend, denn er vergleicht uns mit Maschinen und entpolitisiert die Debatte. […]

Après un an de présence du Rassemblement national, « les esprits RNisés » de l’Eure
Les quatre députés du RN élus en juin 2022 sur cette terre de droite courent les kermesses et les cérémonies, séduisent les maires ruraux et jouent une partition populiste, malgré une influence minime.

First, let’s talk about “grokking”.
In 2022, OpenAI published a paper showing that if you train a model on a simple dataset
(for instance, a simple mathematical operation like division),
and keep training it long after the training looks like it’s stalled out,
the model will suddenly make a massive jump in capability.
Why does this work?
The first stage of training is like rote memorization:
the model has to compress as much of the training data as…

Major strides for vehicle-to-grid: the key amendment to the ISO 15118-20 standard, which standardises AC bidirectional charging with a clear separation of functions between the charging point and the vehicle’s inverter, is now an officially published standard. This means there are significant additions to the version published in 2022, which – as things currently stand – must be technically supported (though not necessarily to the full extent of its functionality) by all new private and p…

If Multicast is the Answer -- What was the Question?
Multicast is (almost) as old as the Internet, having become a tool for increasing network efficiency but also enabling destination discovery in a number of key use cases, although misaligned economic interests have limited its deployment to domain-local usages. But recent advances in multicast technologies as well as the identification of new use cases for which IP multicast may be ill fitted yet network-level support may be desirable motivate to re-think old perceptions of multicast and its us…

With so many places awash with artificial light, people are increasingly seeking out the darkness.

Practitioners At The Limit: Bereavement, Mockery and Ideology in Response to Crisis
After decades in which the software industry heroized its technical employees, our current moment finds those employees in crisis. Economically, they are squeezed by a job market that has turned on them since Elon Musk gutted Twitter in 2022. Politically, their craft is continually pressed into the service of an ever tighter alliance between Big Tech and authoritarianism. Professionally, they find themselves less and less able to contribute anything good to anyone within business models that ar…
