It looks like the Ubuntu package registry Launchpad.net has been down for quite some time today.


yikes


Is this the same patent/license nightmare as JPEG2000 ?


No, JPEG XL is an open standard.


"open" in the sense that you have to pay $200 to read it, anyway.


That's good to hear. Let's hope there's hardware adoption on the camera end soon. As an image lib maintainer the codec wars were driving me nuts.


Same with Meta. The latter knowingly makes a substantial revenue from those ads. Unless a government steps it to make advertising platforms liable, there will be zero incentive for change


They put radio on the Internet... ¡Tres Comas!


Maybe we need more benchmarks that involve human collaboration instead of solo task solving.

Since they have become so capable the new bottleneck is what they can't know. The stuff that's inside people's brains who work in real companies with products and processes absent from any training set.


Q: aren't models trained to message templates using JSON for tool calls. Would a model inherently struggle with a different format?

Q: is there a measurable difference compared to harnesses with tool search?


What a wonderful skill. I hate the long and verbose do strings or docs LLMs spit out. This will make a great addition to my docu agent.

And I agree, maybe I should use this for my emails too


100%, it's not like adults are immune to misinformation, social media addiction or scams. Those platforms should be safe for all people regardless of their age, nationality, sexual orientation, gender or religion.


We could just start making it illegal to advertise to children. Without age verification, it's just a burden of proof with the advertiser that their ad isn't targeting children and a ban on age specific target groups for ad platforms.


What's the advantage to stopping there?


Reading this as "why stop with ad restrictions there" rather than "why only stop ads there":

Salami-slicing, and appeal to a more appealing proposal and target group. Adverttising-to-children is inherently controversial, already banned in many countries / jurisdictions, and is a relatively easy sell. If there's going to be a reform in how advertising is perceived and regulated, it's less that this is where to stop than where to start.


Oh it's just saving me money during checkout


Do you really want to give platforms more incentives to push for age verification?


That's a valid point. Maybe better to have no ads at all.
