Datacenters gebruiken mede door de opkomst van AI extreem veel energie. Maar Microsoft, Amazon, Google en Meta zijn niet verplicht om hun verbruik openbaar te maken. Een groep Europarlementariërs wil een eind maken aan deze uitzondering, omdat die in strijd is met transparantie- en milieuwetgeving. https://www.ftm.nl/artikelen/europarlementariers-eisen-dat-energiegebruik-van-amerikaanse-datacenters-niet-meer-geheim-blijft

In a surprise to no one who has looked at the economics of cloud services before, I think a *lot* of people are in for a rude awakening. It's almost like these bigco's were acting like dealers all along...

i am so tired of "ethical concerns aside" being a phrase i see every single time someone tries to defend the use of LLMs. fuck that! ethical concerns front and fucking center! it is very revealing that tech is currently in such a state that the quiet part can be said out loud without any pushback.

Bitwarden's new CEO has a Private Equity background, removed 'Inclusion' and 'Always Free' from their website -- because of course he did

In the latest episode of “they will always sell you out” - they sold you out! Who would’ve thought. Hoping for a good alternative client to appear, the writing is on the wall. Vaultwarden can’t exist without “leeching” off of Bitwarden.

I've been eagerly awaiting this #patchtuesday, curious to see if there would be any jump in patches due to #microsoft having access to #anthropic #mythos for over a month, resulting in a flood of vulnerabilities being discovered & dramatic increase in patches released.

That was the worry, right? If Mythos was open to the public we were going to see a massive flood of vulnerabilities being discovered?

Well... MS has had a full patch cycle now with access to the magical AI vulns finding machine, so where is ANY increase in found vulns receiving patches?

April: 167 patch Tuesday vulns, 2 0-days.
May: 120 patch Tuesday vulns, no 0-days.

Excited to announce that the @EUCommission has updated it's follow buttons on the website footer!
What's that first platform there? Could that be #Mastodon?
And where did the link to #X go?
All the posts and comments here on Mastodon calling for this, trust me we read them!

Lots of people around me are doing heroin these days. To truly evaluate whether heroin is the right choice for me, I decided I needed to also start doing heroin. And after months of heroin use, I too am unable to stop doing heroin. Sure it comes with trade offs but it’s a truly useful and powerful tool

This post is about LLMs

@joshbressers @deftpunk @wdormann @Viss Honestly, there was nothing "obvious" about this one being a "big one" compared to all of the bugs we get, and fix, on a daily/weekly basis in the kernel.

The ONLY thing different here from those bugfixes, was that someone made a web site, a simple reproducer, and announced it to the world. For 99.9% of the bugs we fix, that are reproducible like this, no one ever does that. That we know of...

In other words, this was just another Tuesday for us.
