I had read one novel by Kadare before going to Albania and picked this one up whole I was there. Such an easy read with a really notable style! Have to find more of his work.

Anyone know the first usages of "AI literacy" or how the term gained traction? Google Ngrams suggests 2015-ish it takes off?

Whelp

I just don’t think corporations or governments should be allowed to treat people the way you wouldn’t treat someone face to face idk

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

I'm going to say it again: Immigration is good, actually. There are no qualifications on this statement other than "don't be a comemierda" and that goes no matter what. "Legal" and "illegal" are artificial categories imposed by States with arbitrary rules, usually with suboptimal outcomes.

Excited for the launch of #GreenIT ‘s 2025 study later - will share insights on here for English speakers! greenit.eco #etudemonde2025 #greenit2025

My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives. Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library! Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.

For those wondering, you can download & run Deepseek—including smaller versions of the model—locally using ollama (ollama.com/library/deep...) — it’s pretty easy to get it set up & you can query it from python/R/etc. without hitting an API each time—testing it with some Viral Texts data right now

It's wild that hinting that a single (high-performing) LLM is able to achieve that performance without brute-forcing the shit out of thousands of GPUs is enough to cause this. www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

DeepSeek - holy crap! More lightweight = a HUGE sustainability win. Trying to think of a good analogy for non-techy folks. Microwave vs gas stove? Electric car vs diesel? The ‘led lightbulb’ of GenAI? Keen to hear people’s ideas!
