Jos olisin hauska ihminen oppositiopuolueesta, saattaisin nyt versioida tämän kokoomuksen mainoksen.

Talouskuri ja koulutusleikkaukset tuottavat taas kerran massatyöttömyyden ja työvoimapulan samanaikaisesti. Ei ole vaikea asia tajuttavaksi, paitsi kokoomukselle.

Teknologiateollisuuden jäsenyritykset voivat nyt tarkistaa, keille viimeksi tuli vaalirahoitusta jaettua, ja kannattiko.
Suomen tärkeimmät vientiyritykset tarvitsevat jopa 140 000 työntekijää – se onnistuu vain, jos koulutus saadaan kuntoon
Teknologiateollisuus: Suomen koulutus- ja maahanmuuttopolitiikka pitää saada luistamaan, jotta valtava työvoiman tarve saadaan täytettyä.

Nearly-perfect printed and handwritten text recognition is the most consequential technical contribution to the study of human culture of the last fifteen years, and it's not even close.

It fundamentally changes our (both lay and expert) relationship with the written past.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Hallitus saavutti ennätyksen!

Suomi nousi kymppikerhoon ensi kertaa sitten 90-luvun laman työttömien määrässä.

On muistettava, että se on hallituksen haluamaa kehitystä ja onnistuminen, koska kun tulijoita riittää, palkkoja ja työehtoja voidaan polkea.

How We are Not Using Al in the Classroom By Sonja Drimmer & Christopher J. Nygren Premise Prompt engineering is a term that has become commonplace since the widespread availability of generative AI applications like ChatGPT. The idea is that the outputs of the large language models (LLMs) on which these applications are based are only as good as the prompts that are input: vague prompts result in equally vague outputs. And thus was born the race to train for careers in prompt engineering. Unfortunately, the bubble seems to have burst before even the first generation of students was trained for this career outcome. We were given a prompt as an invitation to participate in this newsletter: "How are you using Al in the classroom?" While we have accepted this invitation, we are engaging in the most humanistic act we can imagine-refusing the prompt.

Anteeksi nyt etukäteen DVV ja Valtori, mutta tämä on lähes maanpetoksellista toimintaa, kun vielä myönnetään että kolmansien maiden viranomaisilla on todennäköinen pääsy suomalaisten kriittisiin tietoihin. Jollain DVV:n hyväksynnällä ei ole mitään merkitystä AWS:n infrassa.

In Tesco’s this afternoon: an elderly Polish man at the self-checkout, trying to buy a pint of milk and a white radish. There is no picture for the radish on the machine. The assistant doesn’t know what it is. She asks a colleague: “It’s a white radish.” There is no entry for it on the machine.

who is getting the word out there about our national library
us17.campaign-archive.com?u=2c6057c528...
Don't ignore the crisis at the British Library In 2023, one of the world's most significant libraries was hit with a cyber attack that destroyed multiple systems, requiring that its entire technology infrastructure be rebuilt and costing millions. Staff at the British Library say that the attack undermined the working environment, and more than 300 are on strike. The Library's chief executive has resigned, less than a year after she took the position. And some material is still not available to scholars. "Libraries and archives are the labs of humanities and social science scholars, and history is not possible without them," argues Hetan Shah, the chief executive of The British Academy. "The nation rightly values scientific infrastructure, but it pays extraordinarily little attention to what is happening at our national library." Museums Journal | 3 min read & City AM | 4 min read
