Language identification still proves to be a challenging task, especially for web data. In collaboration with @mlcommons.org @eleutherai.bsky.social @jhu.edu and 97 community members, we created CommonLID, a new benchmark for LangID for 100+ languages!

Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

Great :) If i understand right, server needs to send some things as headers to lock out some dns tricks.
Are the iframe controls coming to ios/webkit et al.?
There’s going to be huge demand for running untrusted code sandboxed…
It sounds like you’re talking about the “knowledge graphs” direction here? Although wikidata is very human and context rich…
I might have something that’s a good fit for this. In fact it was already giving me Joost widget flashbacks.
How tightly can this thing sandbox? eg avoiding dns exfiltration…
DASL is a great name for … www.webdav.org/dasl/ especially in context of read-write APIs to data stores.
Re Solid-esque APIs. Might be good to get Lisa Dusseault’s perspective, having worked on both

and dtinit.org/about
Rescuing Solid is a poor goal. I continue to believe in the broad mission it articulates including pragmatic use of RDF (which can be nuanced and contextualized). The fundamental issue with Solid is not RDF but the idea that full realtime read-write of shared data files is important and achievable.
We've extended submissions for our #CHI2026 workshop on Developing Standards and Documentation For LLM Use as Simulated Research Participants.
Submit a short position paper by Feb 20th and let's think through some thorny issues together!

I was shocked to learn 80% of our neurons are in the cerebellum—that little bit of hindbrain—vs ~20% in the big fancy neocortex. (Like learning ~55% of our cells are non-human!)
Evolved perhaps for motor control/coordination, the cerebellum became the controller for many abstract mental activities.
“Digitizing” eg via gaussian splats seems a potential middle ground, where you might mine the ever changing dreamspace for material and then assemble it into a more repeatable experience. Maybe better for backgrounds etc where physics and animation expectations might be lower?

Our paper on the mysterious Devonian organism Prototaxites has now finally been published! See the paper here (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...) and our explainer thread below!

It's cool that Chrome's new renderer/rasterizer (Graphite) is using Dawn (Chrome's WebGPU implementation) as its GPU abstraction layer.
"Dogfooding" it like this means they're going to be extra-serious about perf/features/etc.

Great video & project! Like many I was drawn into the SDF universe via Shadertoy, & as a standardsy person initially weirded out by each scene/model bundling its own tiny renderer. Do you hold any hope for SVG-ish interop amongst SDF tools & communities? Do you think of your units as metres, for eg?

Plasticine dog Gromit lies slumped against a (plasticine) kitchen cabinet, holding a milk bottle. Trapped up to his neck in the bottle is Feathers McGraw, notorious criminal penguin
Well, it’s the day after Wallace and Gromit rode again – and it’s the 31st anniversary of the first appearance of the greatest sound effect in the history of the motion picture, so here’s the story of how (I found out how) they made it...
My colleague Sanjay Ghemawat & I have done a fair bit of performance tuning of various pieces of code. We wrote an internal Performance Hints document ~2 years ago as a way of identifying some general principles & we've recently published a version of it externally.

I’m half Chinese, but the most tiresome type of person on here wants me to apologize to asians for calling an anti-toxicity feature “zen mode.”
The flute is older than the wheel.
A flute fashioned from the bone of a vulture was discovered in a cave in Germany and thought to be 35,000 years old, making it tens of thousands of years older than the wheel.
Don’t reinvent the woodwinds.

One of the most level-headed commentators about AI is apparently blocked by 146,000 bluesky users. Decentralised blocklists are important and useful but also a way of outsourcing decisions to someone who may be angrier and more polarised than you.
