I have used excellent niche services this year:
• https://elicit.com: scientific publications summarisation using a LLM (don’t know if trained on or RAG). It cites them and I didn’t experienced hallucinations
•

Chinese OW models laundering US LMs, themselves laundering GPL code. There is some irony to it.

Hey Canada, Greenland and Panama, did you know that "...the U.S. government argued that Bin Laden and Soleimani posed an imminent threat and that the killings were defensive and, therefore, justified under international law."
I'm not saying anyone should hurt anyone. Violence is never a good answer. I also think someone threatening to invade and take possession of you by force is...bad.
quote source:

What does international law say about targeted killings? | CBC News
It certainly wasn't the first time a government was accused of orchestrating a killing on foreign soil, but observers around the world were nonetheless shocked by Prime Minister's Justin Trudeau's allegation that India's leaders had a hand in killing a Canadian citizen earlier this year in B.C.

Heidegger and/in/on Translation - ed. by Luca Illetterati and Elena Nardelli
In 2020, the journal Verifiche dedicated a double special issue – titled “Hegel and/in/on Translation,” edited by Saša Hrnjez and Elena Nardelli – to the relationship between Hegel’s philosophy and the topic of translation. This special issue of Verifiche, “Heidegger and/in/on Translation,” aims to build upon this philosophical and editorial project, this time addressing the specificity of the relationship between Heidegger’s philosophy and practical and theoretical questions r…

Workshop on Walter Benjamin’s “theory of fascism”
The aim of this workshop is to schematize what we might call Walter Benjamin’s “theory of fascism.” The name “Walter Benjamin” may not necessarily call to mind an explicit theorization of fascism. While Benjamin is well-loved for his aesthetic theory, his critique of historical and technical “progress,” and his theorization of juridical violence, none of these necessarily indicate a unifying or even detailed theory of fascism such as we find in the work of his contemporaries, such…

La questione del bambino in Merleau-Ponty: letture e sviluppi
Anche se ricche di possibili approfondimenti e aperture, le riflessioni in ambito psicologico e pedagogico che ruotano intorno agli studi sul bambino nell’opera di Maurice Merleau-Ponty trovano in letteratura poco riconoscimento e valorizzazione. Raccolti principalmente nei corsi tenuti al Collège de France tra il 1949 e il 1952, queste indagini impegnano il filosofo e fenomenologo francese in un dialogo con il contesto scientifico dell’epoca. In linea con le riflessioni svolte, tra gli al…

Excited about the new xLSTM model release. There are many well-though designs compared to transformers: recurrence (which should allows composability), gating (like Mamba & LSTM which is based on, which allows time complexity independent of the input size), state tracking (unlike Mamba & transformers). For now, these advantage aren’t apparent on benchmarks, but most training techniques are secrets, and the recent advances of LLMs evidenced that they matter a lot.

The question of the child in Merleau-Ponty: readings and developments
The psychological and pedagogical reflections on childhood in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty have received little recognition and appreciation in the literature, although they offer a variety of possible insights and openings. These studies are mainly collected from courses held at the Collège de France between 1949 and 1952; they place the French philosopher in dialogue with the scientific context of the time. Following the thought of Ferdinand de Saussure, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Jacque…
