The first Don Quixote book was so popular it spawned a lot of fake sequels. Cervantes killed off Don Quixote in the second book to preclude any more copycats. That's what I remember anyhow from the preface of a paperback edition from way back.

Any of the 90s horror anthology shows. Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Friday the 13th: The Series heck even X-Files and Buffy. I don't think we've had a decent horror anthology show in recent years. Black Mirror is less horror than just plain meanness sometimes.

My daughter just started school. She's pretty stoked about it, and so are we.

It would help if we knew even just a smidgin of what these titles are.

 

Using genomic techniques to change the color of plants to make it easier for robots to harvest them.

For several years I was using TTRSS, but this year I moved to a Miniflux instance that I host at home. I couple it with an instance of Wallabag for saving articles for later reading. I like the experience of the Miniflux PWA app better than TTRSS.

The key idea from the article is --

...Companies making more than $5 million annually by using Post-Open software in a paid-for product would be required to pay 1 percent of their revenue back to this administrative organization, which would distribute the funds to the maintainers of the participating open source project(s). That would cover all Post-Open software used by the organization.

I enjoy the D&D alignment chart.

 

...replacing the previously hydraulic version.

Insert obligatory welcome statement here.

My point being that they deem this serious enough to release publicly themselves instead of an internal memory, and that this is about an active threat actor rather than a mere vulnerability.

 

What's worrying about this report is that it's coming from Google itself.

With Russia's full-scale invasion in its third year, Sandworm (aka FROZENBARENTS) remains a formidable threat to Ukraine. The group’s operations in support of Moscow’s war aims have proven tactically and operationally adaptable...

...Mandiant continues to see operations from the group that are global in scope in key political, military, and economic hotspots for Russia. Additionally, with a record number of people participating in national elections in 2024, Sandworm’s history of attempting to interfere in democratic processes further elevates the severity of the threat the group may pose in the near-term.

Odours have a complex topography, and it’s been mapped by AI

 

Dozens of people have now had their memories turned into images in this way via Synthetic Memories, a project run by Domestic Data Streamers. The studio uses generative image models, such as OpenAI’s DALL-E, to bring people’s memories to life. Since 2022, the studio, which has received funding from the UN and Google, has been working with immigrant and refugee communities around the world to create images of scenes that have never been photographed, or to re-create photos that were lost when families left their previous homes.

And those papers get used as training data for next iteration of AI. Reinforcement learning!

 

On Wednesday, prompt engineer Riley Goodside tweeted an AI-generated song created with the prompt "sad girl with piano performs the text of the MIT License," and it began to circulate widely in the AI community online.

Speaking from experience from the last five years, it's been pretty good for me.

Nextcloud has chat capabilities. Perhaps it might be overkill for chat alone but presumably you also want some collaboration with documents.

 

I, for one...
