Huawei plays coy on AI chips.
Founder Ren Zhengfei says Huawei’s Ascend chips are still “one generation” behind US rivals like Nvidia, and that the “US has exaggerated Huawei’s capabilities — we’re not that strong yet.”
If that sounds an odd line for a CEO to take, remember that fears over Huawei’s AI prowess have driven a US clampdown intended to boost Nvidia in its place, and that the US and China are negotiating today over export controls and more.

Gaza is not the only front of Israel's war. Palestinians with disabilities in the occupied West Bank are also caught up in the violence despite Israel’s obligations under international law to protect them.
International humanitarian law (IHL) recognizes that people with disabilities, particularly when they are civilians, are entitled to specific protection during armed conflict.

#China's tech firms #block #AI access during high-stakes #college entrance exams

#China may be pushing #AI #education, but it's drawing the line at students using it to #cheat on tests.
This is total #nonsense, because a meaningful test would check whether the students can use AI in a meaningful way in the exam. You can test whether they can recognize hallucinations and prompt them in a meaningful way. Good teachers could also ask questions where AI doesn't help, where you have to interpret ethically, for example. But where can you find good teachers in today's education system?

The image is a four-panel comic strip titled "ADHDinos." The first panel features a blue dinosaur with a long neck, saying, "What a great day." The second panel shows the same dinosaur, now with a shorter neck, saying, "I love hanging out with my friends." The third panel introduces a red dinosaur wearing a party hat labeled "NERVOUS," with the text, "Hi, Anxiety-rex here." The fourth panel depicts Anxiety-rex saying, "I would also like to present you with the possibility that each and every one of them hate you," while facing the blue dinosaur. The background is a simple light blue with a green ground line, and the comic strip is labeled "ADHDinos" in the center.

Could you embed the PeerTube version of the video instead of the YouTube please? Or is there a specific reason not to?

It feels really weird that a website promoting the Fediverse is not using PeerTube for video.

Many thanks for this brilliant video! ✨
I’d love to take part and translate the subtitles into Hebrew¹. What’s the procedure for doing that?
I see you have flags for different languages on news.elenarossini.com/fedivers…. This has several downsides, and specifically I’d appreciate it if you don’t put Israel’s flag on the line for Hebrew, as I don’t support genocide, apartheid and occupation.

in reply to GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺 • • •Ik heb inmiddels gezien dat de naam Karlsruhe helemaal niet refereert aan Karel de Grote zoals ik zestig jaar lang heb gedacht, maar aan ene Karl Wilhelm, Markgraaf van Baden-Durlach, die in de 18 eeuw de stad stichtte en van wie ik jamais had gehoord.
Ik ga even rouwen om alle jaren dat ik met een leugen heb geleefd.
