If this was done by trustworthy organizations as an effort to digitize and preserve all the books, I would appreciate it. Maybe an association of libraries should do that and, to get the cost back, sell the digital versions / ebooks to the AI companies for an additional price). Then, at least, we would not loose the contents of those rare books to the AI conpanies and prevent them from obtaining a monopoly on the data. And each book would only get destroyed once.

But libraries/bookshops are probably not allowed to sell digital versions, and AI companies are not allowed to use borrowed ebooks.

While writing my other comment, I thought of a way that might be a little bit closer to a solution for the AI use of copyrighted material. In Germany, afaik we are allowed to make and keep a copy of copyrighted material obtained in any legal way (even borrowing, streaming, etc.) for strictly private and personal noncommercial use. As a compensation, when buying a device that can store or process data (e.g. USB-stick, phone, computer), a small part of the money goes to copyright collectives ("Verwertungsgesellschaften"). Copyright holders can be members of those and get compensation or their work via them (those collectives are also the entities that sell you a license to e.g. play music at public events).

I can imagine a similar system for AI: A part of any subscription, fee, etc. for AI could go to those copyright collectives as a compensation for the material used in training. Compared to obtaining a license once for training (like buying physical books), this has the advantage that the compensation would scale with the actual use of the AI and also the revenue of the AI companies.

I think those systems are far from perfect, but that's probably a much better approximation to fairness than what we currently have

At least some money is currently paid for AI and eventually the business has to become profitable. The environmental problem ist of course not approached by this. For the creatives this would give at least some compensation. Problems due to future (creative) work taken over by AI is also not covered by this; that's "just" what happens when a new technology arises that obsoletes certain work. My suggestion is trying to copensate for creative work somewhat proportionally to its use.

So basically your code is more functional and has larger throughput, while using resources more efficiently? Great, no need for the superfluous copied part!

OsmAnd, mobile app for navigation and maps. Offline, based on OSM, can do anything. I use it for checking out and bookmarking places, finding POIs and pubic transport stations, routing (especially for bike and foot), measuring distances, and so on. It can also show and record tracks, do car navigation, edit OSM points, and more stuff that I don't use. Pro/plus/full version free on FDroid

FairEmail, email app for Android that has every feature I can imagine. Available on FDroid

You can remove the bar for Firefox: Right click on the toolbar -> "Customize Toolbar..." (or Burger menu -> "More Tools" -> "Customize Toolbar..."), then in the bottom left uncheck "Title Bar" (This works in KDE, at least)

In the article it says the ffmpeg vulns were found by an "autonomous" agent and that it produced a proof-of-concept for each. So what do you base your claims on? They seem quite contrary to that.

Even if there was still a lot of human work involved, it seems that the LLM-Agents can help a lot with security research, as the number of (real) zero-days that are beeing found recently (with the help of AI) seems to spike (telling from what I read, e.g. here on Lemmy, or the number of security updates for my distro).

OnlyOffice and therefore EuroOffice does not support ODF natively. It can only be converted to Micrososft's OOXML for viewing or editing: https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/...

In the linked Nextcloud blogpost, the CEO of Nextcloud is quoted saying they would put full support of open standards like ODF "on top of the agenda" for the next release (after working on the desktop and mobile apps and integration features (maybe for this release)?).

OnlyOffice does not natively support ODF, only after conversion ODF files can be viewed and edited: https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/... The page doesn't say anything about writing, so it may not be possible

This is a very simple mouse with no/hardcoded software (only registers for basic configuration): https://www.nager-it.de/en/maus

It has an "as fair as possible" supply chain and can also be self-assembled. Detailed documentation is here: https://www.nager-it.de/en/informationen/material

This (the keyboard thing) is is obviously false, so I have to assume the whole story is

I agree that the wording is a bit ambiguous, I interpreted it the way it seems more natural to me. In the post by the researcher(s) themselves, it says in the tldr paragraph that the "agent produces concrete, reproducible PoC inputs to confirm its findings" but also that they (probably humans) "explored the exploitability of the issues and developed a PoC demonstrating a RCE exploit primitive". Apparently it finds the vulnerabilities very concretely but humans were involved for the full-blown exploit. It also doesn't say much about the number of false-positives.

I'm not in the business, so I can't tell how much of the work such agents are actually saving. Since the articles don't say much about the amount of human involvement, the imagination conveyed by them probably depends strongly on the (knowledge of the) reader. But in my opinion it is a bit of stretch to say this is downplaying it. It should be noted though, that the article probably sources its information from a post by the company selling that AI.

With that information, the "without any confidence" and "area of interest" parts of your previous post still seem misleading.

Why is this downvoted?

Danke! Hab zuletzt bei Watson Nutrition gekauft, schaue mir nächstes mal auch ESN und Nutri+ an, die sind scheinbar ein bisschen günstiger und ESN hat auch Labortestergebnisse veröffentlicht.

Watson Nutrition Kapseln: Pro Packung: 25,90€ / 120 Kapseln. Pro Kapsel: min. 75 mg EPA, min. 150 mg DHA, 250 mg EPA+DHA, min. 347 mg EPA/€, 1,16 g (EPA+DHA)/€. Laboranalysen für TOTOX, Nährstoffgehalt und einige Schwemetalle und Erreger.

1. I usually do the updates in the evening when turning off my laptop. I click "update all" (or so) and then choose "shut down" in the selection that appears at the bottom. Then I can leave the laptop and it will automatically reboot to install the updates and then shut down completely.
2. Yes, that number of updates is normal
3. I don't know of a way to (un)select specific "system"-packages within Discover
4. The updates are usually fine. I can't think of any case where a routine update caused trouble for me. I prefer getting the security updates (and other improvements) quickly. Just once, I intentionally delayed the updates for a few days before an important deadline, where I needed my computer to work and wouldn't have had the time to deal with issues

Einige Anbieter veröffentlichen auch Laboruntersuchungen ihrer Produkte zur Ranzigkeit (Totox-Zahl), den tatsächlichen Nährwerten, Schwermetallen und Erregern. Man findet die, falls vorhanden, idR. auf der jeweiligen Produktseite

I've last seen it last month. And I have an old chat, where FluffyChat and ("old") Element show all messages by now, but Element X can't decrypt many and both Elements report that they can't guarantee the authenticity of many messages (even my own). For a long time, my chat partner could only read messages I sent via FluffyChat but not those sent by Element. I have not checked if that is still the case.

For public transit routing, I usually use the app of the local provider. But especially (not only) for Germany, Öffi is an open source alternative for them, that uses their APIs, I think.
