I don't trust the European Comission and I don't expect to use the EUPL any time soon, but that was interesting.

From the article:
> As we reported, some dismissed it for having "no heart or soul," while others said they were "pleasantly surprised how well it worked."

I think I can guess why: the black letterboxing one would get without the top and bottom fillers might be off-putting for people watching on their phones. And no detail is lost since the original had such low resolution for modern standards.
I still think it’s a net benefit if this brings Cosmos to more people even if it looks horrid to me, and this particular cut is a very good standalone explanation and illustration of the concept.
What I’ve read is that DDR5 has “on-die ECC” which means that the module itself handles the error correction, but then it can not handle errors that happen in transit to the CPU as full ECC can.
There are DDR5 full-ECC modules that would be real equivalents to DDR4 ECC.
> When the latest version of DDR memory – DDR5 – was introduced in 2020, marketing campaigns got one important fact wrong. DDR5 UDIMM, the regular desktop RAM we’re all familiar with, was touted as having “built-in” Error Correcting Code (ECC). Not true. What it has is built-in data checking, which is a very different feature that shouldn’t be confused with traditional ECC. For that, your customers will need DDR5 ECC UDIMM memory.

The RIIR series does not have yet the cleaned-up version he uploads later to YouTube but the raw Twitch streams are still available:
> “When I uploaded the VOD the other day somebody in the comment section reminded me that, aren’t I supposed to not start any new Go projects because of all the telemetry stuff? And I realized that I completely forgot about it. And I suppose that was the plan of Google, to basically make it opt-in, make peole get comfortable, make them forget about it, and one day, one night, turn the telemetry on for everyone. That’s why we’re rewriting the whole thing in Rust. To be fair, I don’t really care that much, so if it wasn’t super-easy to do that, I wouldn’t even probably try to do that.”

I wonder what Covid and Ukraine have to do with antisemitism. The article does not elaborate on that.

The regulation in the article is about AIs giving assistance on producing weapons of mass destruction and mentions nuclear and biological. Yann LeCun posted this yesterday about the risk of runaway AIs that would decide to kill or enslave humans, but both arguments result in an oligopoly over AI:
> Altman, Hassabis, and Amodei are the ones doing massive corporate lobbying at the moment.
> They are the ones who are attempting to perform a regulatory capture of the AI industry.
> You, Geoff, and Yoshua are giving ammunition to those who are lobbying for a ban on open AI R&D.
> ...
> The alternative, which will *inevitably* happen if open source AI is regulated out of existence, is that a small number of companies from the West Coast of the US and China will control AI platform and hence control people's entire digital diet.

> One such story is an allegation that Hamas beheaded babies in Kfar Azza, a kibbutz near Israel’s southern border with Gaza. The unconfirmed story appears to stem from a single Israeli news report on Tuesday.
> On Wednesday, the Israeli prime minister’s office appeared to validate the report, with a spokesperson saying the babies were found with their “heads decapitated.” The claim went viral, spreading across newspapers, social media platforms and a CNN broadcast.
> President Biden appeared to advance the story in a meeting with Jewish community leaders. “I have been doing this a long time, I never really thought that I would see … have confirmed, pictures of terrorists beheading children,” he said.
> An administration official later clarified Biden’s remarks, saying that Biden was referring to public statements from officials and media reports and had not actually seen the photos.
> Less than a day later, the Israeli government backtracked. “There have been cases of Hamas militants carrying out beheadings and other ISIS-style atrocities,” according to a Thursday statement provided to CNN. “However, we cannot confirm if the victims were men or women, soldiers or civilians, adults or children.”
