Tekoälyn vaikutuksia ympäristöön ja tietosuojaan ei pidä vähätellä #ympäristö

Tekoälyn vaikutuksia ympäristöön ja tietosuojaan ei pidä vähätellä
Tekoälyn hyötyjä ja haittoja arvioitaessa on riskien hallitsemisen ohella pohdittava sitä, kenen ehdoilla teknologiaa kehitetään.

For years, Donald Trump has fantasized about lawlessly killing drug dealers
In his second term, he’s made the fantasy a reality,
killing putative "drug dealers" in a likely illegal airstrike campaign on vessels in international waters.
Yet at the same time, Trump last week pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez,
who had just started serving a 45-year federal prison sentence for helping to traffic
💥 hundreds of tons of cocaine💥 into t…

Trump follows through on an especially ugly campaign promise
He's talked about executing drug dealers for a decade.

I have Unix “muscle memory” that is older than the millennium and remains valid on most of the machines I administer.
E.g. the old “net-tools” utilities (ifconfig, netstat, etc.)were supposedly replaced a couple of decades ago but they remain functional on most Unix-like platforms. Almost no one ever uses the iproute2 (i.e. ip, ss, etc.) tools. @…

As inference splits into prefill and decode, Nvidia's Groq deal could enable a "Rubin SRAM" variant optimized for ultra-low latency agentic reasoning workloads (Gavin Baker/@gavinsbaker)

Nvidia is buying Groq for two reasons imo.   1) Inference is disaggregating into prefill and decode. SRAM architectures have unique advantages in decode for workloads where performance is primarily a function of memory bandwidth. Rubin CPX, Rubin and the putative “Rubin SRAM”

Effects of eye closure on the spiking activity of human lateral geniculate neurons #LGN

Effects of eye closure on the spiking activity of human lateral geniculate neurons - Nature Communications
The LGN is a critical stage between the retina and visual cortex, but the properties of human LGN neurons are not fully understood. Here the authors report that they closely resemble those in monkeys and that closure of one eye increases the activity of putative inhibitory neurons connected to that eye.
