Wow, this was really painful: #urbanism
Article on media treatment of people with disabilities after the ADA was enacted in 1990.
A quote from the article:
"In the mind of the public and the media, there are 'legitimate' and 'worthy' disabilities, usually those visible to the naked eye, such as mobility impairments and blindness. At the other end of the spectrum, there are the 'undeserving disabled,' people who are thought to be to blame for their conditions."
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.

Was soll ich dazu noch ergänzend sagen ausser: Das Internet und ihre Dienste muss dezentral und unabhängig gegenseitig weiter nutzbar sein. Dies bezüglich ist ua das Fediverse und andere Webdienste von Vorteil. Es muss nicht ALLES online abhängig sein.
