We are concerned that language in the proposed European Cyber Resilience Act may cause problems for public open source repositories like the ones we host. Please read and share: pyfound.blogspot.com/2023/04…
Amazing. We already had Stable Diffusion, now #opensource RLHF trained GPT based chat assistants are here. You can do your own AI alignment research now!
🔥EVERYONE🔥We’re excited to announce the release of OpenAssistant.
The future of AI development depends heavily on high quality datasets and models being made publicly available, and that’s exactly what this project does.

Thank you, @github and @Microsoft for creating #Codespaces and #devcontainers (infoq.com/articles/devcontai…) and making this available for education for free! Makes it so much easier to teach computer science in high school, where kids often don't bring much more than old Chromebooks.
Interesting to read this rant by James Lovelock, the inventor of the Gaia theory which postulates that the earth's climate is not an accident but regulated by living organisms. His earlier books are better, but he has a point about nuclear energy. The Vanishing Face of Gaia, 2009 – at Utrecht, The Netherlands
Dutch parliament session #TK with @rivm @statistiekcbs abt scientific research on excess mortality. Bottom line: The Netherlands is far behind other countries like UK, Denmark & Belgium in realtime linking of data. Time to put #FAIR #openscience in action! tweedekamer.nl/debat_en_verg… – at Utrecht, The Netherlands
I've seen many introduction to #Bioinformatics & Biology talks over the years, but this one by @bert_hu_bert at #MCH2022 definitely stands out with its funny and original approach. Highly recommended, esp. for programmers looking for an up to date intro: youtu.be/dLC7ymuUo_8 – at Utrecht, The Netherlands

This one is by @bert_hubert .
Any talk from Bert is epic stuff. This one did not disappoint!
Lot's of humor, but seriously fascinating.

Goed geschreven boek van @wimjmvoermans: Het land moet bestuurd worden. Het is een mooie schets van de bijzondere manier waarop Nederlanders tegen de overheid aankijken en vice versa. Hier zijn commentaar op een citaat over functioneren #TweedeKamer, bron: raadvanstate.nl/@121354/w04-… – at Utrecht, The Netherlands
Wat een geniaal boek, #Receptloos van @marlieskooiman. Heeft mijn leven veranderd! Ik kookte altijd met pakjes en zakjes en vond kookboeken maar niets. Maar in dit boek worden juist de principes achter een gerecht uitgelegd, waardoor ik het wel leuk vind om in de keuken te staan. – at Utrecht, The Netherlands
The worst part of an @ETHGlobal hackathon: after you have just hacked through the night, you have to stand in line with your team for hours to get into a judging session. That, and the @LensProtocol testnet API breaking down at 2 AM 😭 Oh well..first world problems, have fun all!
As I put on the #EthAmsterdam feedback form, I believe there is software to assign judging slots randomly to the teams, and notify us on Discord when we are due? – at Manhattan, NY
Another massive @ETHGlobal hackathon kicking off: #ETHNewYork! Always nice to see so many people excited to build - if nothing else Ethereum makes for a thriving community. With many young developers bootstrapping their own career here. #ETHNYC – at Manhattan, NY

The on the spot answer of @pmarca is indeed a bit vague, so how about this for advantages of web3 podcasting: 1. You can choose your own monetization model 2. No one can take your followers away 3. You cannot be banned from the platform. We're planning to hack a demo @ETHNewYork! – at Utrecht, The Netherlands
Today @pmarca was asked by @tylercowen to explain a Web3 use case.
I clipped this gem from 28:08 of Conversations With Tyler.
Highly recommended...
Reflecting on #TEDxUtrecht yesterday, it's great to see the energy and concern for human wellbeing, and the apt criticisms of how our societies are run today. On the other hand, there also seems to be a lack of thinking through what climate adaption would really mean for us. – at Utrecht, The Netherlands
For instance the #Wefilm video for @milieudefensie. If @Shell and other companies really would stop providing fossil energy today, it would cause human suffering on a scale that would make World War II seem like a picnic. This is likely still true in 2050. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ahnM7R… – at Utrecht, The Netherlands
In the city of Utrecht our energy grid would collapse, supply chains would halt, supermarkets would empty out after a run on food, refrigerators will stop working, and most of the 300k+ people on these few square kilometers will flee or die soon after. Who visualizes that future? – at Utrecht, The Netherlands
