Now we have a timeline of the OpenAI accidental attack against Hugging Face

I haven’t found time to watch the OpenAI presentation yet, but this timeline is a nice quick summary.

Hello everyone! Passionate about gold crafting & precious metals—excited to join the community.

Hi all! I’ve spent a lot of time following the precious metals industry and jewelry craftsmanship. I love seeing how gold bars and fine metal pieces are refined and processed. What are your thoughts on precious metals as long-term assets? Looking forward to learning and sharing insights here

The return of supersonic flight hinges on the race to solve one big hurdle | CNN

The skies of Oklahoma City roared for six months in 1964 as military aircraft intentionally rattled the population below with a daily barrage of thunderous sonic booms. It was a controversial test — the consequences of which have lingered to this day.

Two approaches in the works could revolutionize air travel by making future supersonic passenger planes compliant with the FAA’s new noise rules: Colorado-based company Boom Supersonic, which is specifically mentioned in the FAA proposal, plans to use physics to prevent sonic booms from ever reaching the ground, regardless of plane design. NASA, on the other hand, is flying an experimental plane called X-59 that is specifically designed to reduce the intensity of the boom.

Spectre is Back: CPU Mitigations Found to Be Ineffective

Modern processors are fast in part because they guess. Rather than waiting to find out which way a program will branch, a chip predicts the likely path and races ahead. When the guess is right, time is saved. When it’s wrong, the work is discarded, but traces of it linger, and since the Spectre vulnerability was disclosed in 2018, attackers have known how to read those traces to pull secrets out of memory they should never see.

How Can Data Cloud Certification Questions Help You Understand Modern Cloud Data Management?

Preparing for data cloud certification is not only about mastering technical terms. Candidates should also understand the way of collecting, connecting, managing, securing, and utilizing data in modern cloud-based environments. An effective study plan may help to better understand all aspects and memorize them easily. Data Cloud Certification Questions are very helpful for testing your knowledge and finding the gaps. Try to understand the reasons for your answer rather than memorize the right one. If you answered incorrectly, repeat the corresponding topic and try answering again.

Another important aspect of cloud data management is data integration, data quality, data security, and governance. Knowledge of interrelations between these aspects will help to deal with questions from data cloud certification and real-world challenges of cloud-based data management.

Platforms like Pass4Future may be also used as an additional source of practice during the process of preparation. Practice, however, should help your studying rather than be a substitute for good and credible sources of studying materials and exam information. Thus, the simplest solution would be the following: study the concept, test your knowledge, analyze your mistakes and improve them. Such a strategy of preparation will allow you to feel more confident and learn useful information for future practice in cloud-based data management.

Jealously Watching OpenAI and Anthropic, Meta Suddenly Claims That Its AI Went on a Hacking Spree Too

Just when you think @ZuckyZuck is finally out of ideas - to steal.

It starts to feel like even a weak LLM like MetaAI is more creative than him.

Maybe we already have created truly artificial intelligence because he is more of an SLM: a Small Language Model?
