UPDATE: Non-individual entities, including companies, NGOs, cooperatives, associations, and government agencies, have been urged to acquire Entity Registration Numbers (ERNs) to avoid future operational challenges. Arthur Kwesiga, the Commissioner for ICT and Innovations at @URSBHQ, says the move is intended to integrate organisations into the formal economy and government compliance systems. He added that ERNs will be a prerequisite for accessing government services. Other entities targeted include partnerships, trusts, collective investment schemes, trade unions, and organized groups.

Heraclitus wisely said, “You cannot step into the same river twice”. Everything is flux, everything is constantly changing. You’ll never again have a chance to talk to your parent, sibling, etc in the same state and place both of you’re currently in, if you decide to postpone.

Today is #WorldTBDay.

Tuberculosis is the world’s deadliest infectious disease. In 2024, TB killed 1.2 million people. Protecting hard-won gains and future generations demands urgency, innovation and smart investment.

Together, we can #DefeatTB.

🚨⚡️ Vladimir Putin fires back at the West:

"Who do you think you're talking to? It's always 'You must...' 'You have to...' 'We're warning you...'

"Attention is all you need" by Vaswani and his colleagues is one of the most important research work of this decade. Replacing the recurrent layers in standard RNNs/LSTMs with self-attention was a revolutionary idea

Computer science is gradually returning to the domain of physicists, mathematicians, and electrical engineers as large language models automate much of what we currently call software engineering.

The field’s center of gravity is shifting away from manual code writing and toward deeper theoretical thinking, mathematical insight, and systems-level reasoning.

@SprinterPress In the end, it's very much going to be about how much pain Iran can absorb vs how much Israel & these countries can absorb.

@ARISEtv Aliko's work is remarkable and and a testament that Africa can and must rise up to the occasion if the trajectory is to change.

@haider1 True. In the same way, steam navigation was successful in bringing together the most distant nations, yet its effective theory was little understood at the time.

According to Lambda Labs, it'd take 355 years to train GPT-3 on a consumer RTX 8000 GPU.

Here, I'm fine-tunning a fairly small LMM for a specific application use case. It's 5 days and still less than a percent progress.
This is why the race for computing power is intense.

@TheChiefNerd I disagree, but Elon seems to agree with the great Physicist Rutherford that
