someone asked me why AI pilots fail in production and i said 'because most of these projects didn't need AI'
'building a tech project to use AI, instead of to solve a problem, is just like building a project 'to use postgres instead of mysql'
i wonder if i'll still be invited next year

please let 2026 be the year when we finally get Count Binface as MP because we NEED him addressing price caps on croissants & kebabs in House of Commons :angry_laugh:
I wonder how precise and stable is this GPS oscillator going to be :thinking_rotate:
Evropští lidovci zapomněli, že ne znamená ne, a právní kličkou protlačili Chat Control 1.0 zpět na stůl. Rychlou procedurou, která porušuje pravidla EP. Ve čtvrtek bude k odmítnutí potřeba 361 hlasů. Tady už nejde jen o soukromí, ale o důvěru v demokracii.
this should be a must watch for everyone who still thinks it's only "putin's war" or that majority of russians are tolerant & inclusive.

I hope that one day, whenever people hear the word “russia,” they will think of Ukrainian families killed beneath the ruins of their homes instead of its literature, its ballet, or anything else it once convinced the world to admire.

btw unlike blockchain/cryptocurrencies that were also massively overhyped, LLMs actually have value & purpose.
I'm totally open to having ethical LLMs that are:
- tailored for specific purposes;
- trained with data that fits the said purpose;
- and used as a supplementary tool
ofc I don't see it coming until AI bubble bursts. but when it bursts, it's important to set that narrative so there won't be more tech bros who would recycle the current approach but serve in with a different pretext.
the state of AI industry: not only there is a cartel-like behavior from manufacturers to jack up the prices on DRAM, but there is also an AI tokens black market (politely called "Transfer Station economy") https://www.chinatalk.media/p/how-to-buy-cheap-claude-tokens-in
(also a reminder that Chinese tech companies are as AI-pilled as American)

💯 - code reviewing in my previous job by a senior colleague (who has been like a mentor to me when I just moved from backend engineering to embedded engineering) has literally given me as much knowledge as reading books on programming.
so while I'd love for UK gov't to abandon all big tech platforms, I'm also a realist and I understand that starting point should be getting into Mastodon or at least Bluesky properly.
I also find it ironic that, while I am grateful she posted about russia's attack on Ukraine and her pro-Ukraine stance, she complains about Bluesky being shit. did you really think that Bluesky, which is 50% centralised platform at best, fares significantly better?

as someone who wrote blog post for Mainstream Labour on leaving Xitter, I'll answer to @carolecadwalla.bsky.social (although she won't see it bc I don't bridge to Bluesky):
1) regulating platform != having presence there. by that logic, DCMS should have an account on 4chan. (and X is pretty much like 4chan now)
2) see p.1
3) yes, and she can make such decisions.
4) no it's not. but whether you like it or not, FB is second most used platform in UK according to Ofcom.
ironically Andy's social policy for young adults would help tackling issues they believe social media bans would "magically" resolve. that tells a lot about tech policy awareness among 95% of politicians & their advisors - even your favourite ones.
(I have my suspicions as to who is lobbying Burnham on this but that's for another time)
after some good news about Andy Burnham's tech policy - i.e ditching Palantir - we're coming to bad ones (albeit I expected that since he backed the ban in January) https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/andy-burnham-social-media-ban-37383525
funny enough he's supposedly against UK Digital ID so... how exactly does he think it's going to get enforced lol
