@jurbed Verím a zvažujem ale možno počkám ako bude vyzerať e-bundle.

Fyzické knihy, aj keď veľmi zaujímavé žiaľ len stoja v poličke.

Díky za odpoveď, na knihu sa teším.

What if the EU built GitHub?

Wow. this is insane

"Sony just built a spin-tracking AI robot called Ace that can go head-to-head with elite table tennis players."

"It doesn’t just hit the ball, it reads spin, predicts trajectories, and adapts in real time like an actual opponent"

"In matches, it won 3 out of 5 against top-tier players, though professionals still managed to beat it twice."

"This is huge because table tennis has always been a nightmare for robotics, insanely fast, unpredictable, and brutally precise."

@headius @apeiros @Shopify Count me in, I do enjoy big enterprise-style migration experiments. 👷

[Karol Bucek // k@res @kbucek]

@headius @apeiros @Shopify should have been experimenting with JRuby a long time ago, still better late than never🤞

[Josh Kale @JoshKale]

Anthropic said Mythos was too dangerous to release. Then four random guys in a Discord gained access on day one by guessing the URL...

This is pretty insane:
→ Group in a private Discord guessed the endpoint from Anthropic's naming conventions
→ They figured out the conventions from the leak in the Mercor breach three weeks ago
→ Used a contractor's legit eval credentials to walk in
→ Have been using it ever since to build simple websites

The AI that finds zero-days in every operating system on earth was defeated by address bar autocomplete... big yikes

@wilderko Opus does not comply with security, transparency and quality obligations, and did not undergo conformity assessments according to EU's AI act, in that sense these legislation concerns are to be redacted!

"The evils of capitalism:"

[Karol Bucek // k@res @kbucek]

Cautionary tale: After a one-month AI trial without decent (10x expected) results, a mid-sized engineering company decided to reduce head count by 50% with zero transparency.

Despite the hype, LLMs aren't a magic fix for complex legacy systems developed for 20 years.

[Karol Bucek // k@res @kbucek]

Company adopts AI with 200 engineers, the bill is over 100k for the 'first' month.

Nothing changed, except low hanging fruits (dependency updates, preliminary reviews) being prompted by managers.

Wonder how cost gets justified long term, esp. since it will likely keep raising.

SCOOP: Leaked photo of the first AI compute data centre that Allbirds built with its recent $50m investment. Insiders say that the rack has enough capacity to provide tokens for 7 AI chatbot users.

THIS IS HUGE

The European Union just released its new AI model, Clause

I'm hearing that it's 10x more powerful and 1,000x more compliant than Claude
