bert hubert 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦Might reread some old Tom Clancy books a bit to remind myself of calmer geopolitics.
as I understand it mozilla/firefox have some not-terrible language translation models. how can one use those without a browser?
using 1/100th of a second as unit is an interesting choice. could've used second, or millisecond, but nooo...
Lars WirzeniusI first learned how to program in 1984 at 14. The tech press said I'd be obsolete by 25, due to age.
About 1990 tech press said the Japanese were building fifth generation computers to make me obsolete.
In 2000, the dot com bubble bursting was said to make me obsolete.
There's been neural networks, no-code, and more, since then, to make me obsolete.
Now it's LLMs.
Excuse me while I sit here and don't panic.
EDIT: This blew up. Muting the thread for some peace and quiet.
I thought speech recognition / transcribing / translation was a pretty much a solved problem and heard whisper mentioned several times. and multiple spoken languages in single audio file makes whisper-cpp rather confused and the result is pretty... suboptimal
Dan GillmorWe all get periodic emails with subject lines like "We're updating our Terms of Service and Privacy Notice."
Question:
Has ANY update of this kind EVER been in favor of the customer?
Xavier MarecaAalto University. Helsinki. March 11, 2026.
AaltoQ20 — Finland's newest quantum computer. 20 qubits. IQM components. Bluefors cryogenics. Built in-house 2022–2026.
The difference: it's not locked in a corporate lab. Students use the actual machine as part of their degree. Full access down to microwave pulse level.
Every other university rents cloud access from IBM or Google — limited, shared, restricted.
Aalto owns the hardware outright.

Pushing Simulation to the LIMIT to Find Order in Chaos
oh, right, most people need to be walked through the happy path first. and second, probably.
and here I am skipping all that as obvious and asking whatabouts on the actually hard problems
