"After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of large language models on Wikipedia, on March 20 volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online encyclopedia.

The new policy, which was accepted in an overwhelming 40 to 2 vote among editors, allows editors to use LLMs to suggest basic copyedits to their own writing, which can be incorporated into the article or rewritten after human review if the LLM doesn’t generate entirely new content on its own."

“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

How a small detail in #DataViz can change your understanding of the data. I have these 20 scatterplots for 20 various climate models. It seems that in some models there's a relationship, in other not so much, and in some it's clearly non-linear while in others is harder to tell.
Next, I used a fixed scale for all panels and also added all dots in gray to each panel. Whoa, that's different! Now it looks like each model is representing a different part of the population!

Let’s talk about resistance after a conqueror takes power. Specifically let’s talk about this bendy yellow building, and what it shows us about the moment the Florentine Republic finally fell to its kleptocratic/proto-capitalist banking-fortune Medici conquerors 1/?
