🚛💥This is how the attack on the Russian military airfield in Belaya, Irkutsk region, 4400 km from the front, took place.
One after another, FPV drones flew out from a cargo truck parked not far from the airbase. After the end of the mission the cargo container self-destructed.

ProPublica editor’s note: Out of a fear for their safety following the United Healthcare CEO killing, insurance companies asked reporters not to name staff doctors who have been accused in court of recklessly denying potentially life-saving treatments.

More creative humans generate more creative output from AI image generators, as judged by other people.
The effects are highly significant, but relatively modest, suggesting that human creativity matters in getting creative work from AI... but perhaps not as might be expected.

The West in coordination with Ukraine need to immediately get a grain deal in place with the new Syrian government.
This removes Russia’s only real leverage for keeping its Mediterranean presence. There will never be a cheaper, easier and safe way to severely undermine Russia.

A feature/bug of BlueSky is that you can back-date posts. People are using this to repost their tweets.
If you search for posts from the 1st century, there are jokes about the resurrection of Jesus. And, perhaps even funnier, some posts dated 24-11-20 instead of 2024-11-20.

I'm glad BlueSky is growing fast.
This was the Twitter alternative I liked the most because of the tech and its open source nature.
Twitter/X was more open in the early days and that's in part what made it successful.
It's a shame that the current X leadership doesn't understand that.

Just realized BlueSky allows sharing valuable stuff cause it doesn't punish links. 🤩
Let's start with "What are embeddings" by @vickiboykis.com
The book is a great summary of embeddings, from history to modern approaches.
The best part: it's free.

AI can help learning... when it isn't a crutch.
There are now multiple controlled experiments showing that students who use AI to get answers to problems hurts learning (even though they think they are learning), but that students who use well-promoted LLMs as a tutor perform better on tests.

Organizations (including university labs) should stockpile problems they could use help on from the new set of agentic & o1-like systems that are coming soon.
I suspect that they will be less useful to non-experts at first, but open up some new opportunities for complex work that AIs can do.
