Dear @… and Dino Grandoni, please see my comment (screenshot). And I just read today the Post won a Pulitzer! I'm having a surrealistic moment.
Life boomed on Earth half a billion years ago. You can thank magnets. - The Washington Post

Life boomed on Earth half a billion years ago. You can thank magnets.
The near collapse of Earth’s magnetic field coincided with a spike in oxygen levels and a boom in biodiversity, according to a new study.

Ik lees weinig of niets de laatste maanden over hoe het nu gaat met het initiatief GPT-NL van onder andere TNO, SURF, NFI. Hoe staat het daarmee, hoe gaat men voldoende trainingsdata verzamelen van hoge kwaliteit, in lijn met onze regels en normen (Bigtech houdt zich daar niet aan) ? Wat wordt er eigenlijk ontwikkeld en op basis van welke modellen ?
Maar misschien heb ik nieuwsberichten gemist, zo ja, laat het me weten 🙂

GPT-NL versterkt Nederlandse autonomie, kennis en technologie in AI
Large language models zoals ChatGPT bieden veelbelovende technische mogelijkheden, maar er zijn ook zorgen. TNO werkt aan GPT-NL, een eigen nederlands taalmodel

But now consider another accident. A report in the British Medical Journal describes the case of a construction worker who had jumped off some scaffolding. Beneath him, to his horror, was a 15 cm nail that pierced clean through his boot when he landed. The man […] was in agony, tortured by every small movement of his foot. He was given some even more powerful sedatives, fentanyl and midazolam. But when doctors removed the boot they discovered that the nail had not penetrated his foot at all. In fact, it had passed safely between his toes. There was no bodily injury causing the excruciating pain he felt, though it was completely genuine. In his case, however, the experience was produced entirely by his own powerful prediction machinery. Those searing pains were false perceptions created by his brain's predictions (based on the visual evidence) of serious injury and the kinds of feelings that might result.

Honestly, I think the biggest conceptual leap here is realizing that pain that is neither caused by an injury, nor neuropathic in nature, can be very real and people aren't just "making up" or "imagining" things. The wiring of their brain fires up as in any other instance of pain.

Wegfall tausender Sozialwohnungen sinnigerweise hinter einer Paywall. Jetzt ratet mal wer keine Sozialwohnungen braucht, wem das beim vermieten der Immobilie hilft. Und wer bei mir in der Nachbarschaft zwei Mehrfamilien-Häuser erst verschimmeln lassen und jetzt langwierig abreißen muss.

Robust Federated Learning Mitigates Client-side Training Data Distribution Inference Attacks
Recent studies have revealed that federated learning (FL), once considered secure due to clients not sharing their private data with the server, is vulnerable to attacks such as client-side training data distribution inference, where a malicious client can recreate the victim's data. While various countermeasures exist, they are not practical, often assuming server access to some training data or knowledge of label distribution before the attack. In this work, we bridge the gap by proposing I…

CoPrompt: Supporting Prompt Sharing and Referring in Collaborative Natural Language Programming
Natural language (NL) programming has become more approachable due to the powerful code-generation capability of large language models (LLMs). This shift to using NL to program enhances collaborative programming by reducing communication barriers and context-switching among programmers from varying backgrounds. However, programmers may face challenges during prompt engineering in a collaborative setting as they need to actively keep aware of their collaborators' progress and intents. In this pa…

Waarom lijken de problemen met het Nederlandse stroomnet maar niet opgelost te worden? Een deel van de puzzel schuilt erin dat op politiek niveau veel weerstand is tegen simpele, bewezen effectieve oplossingen.
Vergelijk bijvoorbeeld de tweets van de VVD-woordvoerder op dit onderwerp (en de partijsite) met deze recente column van Matthijs Bouman in het FD:

Vergeten prijsmechanisme
Laadpalen die uit moeten, NS in het rood? Zonder prijsmechanisme gaat alles moeizamer, betoogt Mathijs Bouman.

Beste zorgverzekering,
Er is een reden waarom ik jaren geleden een mailapp gekocht heb die afrekent met trackingpixels en andere verborgen zaken zichtbaar maakt.
