Anche il capitolo 10 del manga di Sailor Moon, come inevitabilmente sospettavo, offre degli spunti di riflessione interessanti, anche se questo è...

TLDR: the paper introduces the use of a Repository Planning Graph to overcome the planning and consistency problems that have prevented LLMs from generating complete, complex software projects.

The graph allows reliably generating codebases 3.9x larger at 36K lines of code with far more correct pass rate at 69.7% compared to mere 33.9% before. Replacing ambiguous natural language with a structured graph allows the LLM to plan and execute long-horizon tasks reliably and at scale.

RPG: A Repository Planning Graph for Unified and Scalable Codebase Generation

Large language models excel at function- and file-level code generation, yet generating complete repositories from scratch remains a fundamental challenge.

Mastodon has a concept called "featured statuses", which is a special collection attached to a Person actor.

docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/act…

It wasn't readily know how this collection is updated and federated (not without code achaeology), but claire@social.sitedethib.com recently shared some additional info :smiley:

• The actor itself will issue an Add activity targeting the collection with the status in object.
• This activity is sent to all followers of the actor.
• No activity is sent if the actor has no remote followers.
• A Remove is sent when a pinned post is unpinned.

This is what the Add looks like:

{
    "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
    "type": "Add",
    "actor": "https://example.org/users/testUser",
    "target": "https://example.org/users/testUser/collections/featured",
    "object": "https://example.org/users/testUser/statuses/115266412340579560"
}

But people in China certainly seem to think this is an example of AI. China Digital Times reports that it wasn’t just the same-sex image that was altered, but the distributor did also cut out some straight sex scenes from the film... As one user implies, the AI is a more sophisticated and “terrifying” form of censorship because smart viewers have figured out ways to get around obvious censorship or can tell the difference, but that’s much harder with AI. Here’s a smattering of some of the comments, sarcasm implied on the last one:

...in the future, we won’t even be able to tell if we’re watching the original film or not.

...This is nauseating because it not only interferes with the integrity of the plot, it disrespects the sexual orientation of the actors....

...Awesome! Next, let’s use one-click AI to re-release “Brokeback Mountain,” “God’s Own Country,” “Lan Yu,” and “Happy Together” as “restored” hetero romances...

AI Censorship of 'Together' in China Makes a Subplot Make No Sense

A scene showing a gay wedding in the movie 'Together' was censored in China using AI, but it makes a big chunk of the movie nonsensical.

Microsoft has terminated the Israeli military’s access to technology it used to operate a powerful surveillance system that collected millions of Palestinian civilian phone calls made each day in Gaza and the West Bank, the Guardian can reveal.

Microsoft told Israeli officials late last week that Unit 8200, the military’s elite spy agency, had violated the company’s terms of service by storing the vast trove of surveillance data in its Azure cloud platform, sources familiar with the situation said.

The decision to cut off Unit 8200’s ability to use some of its technology results directly from an investigation published by the Guardian last month. It revealed how Azure was being used to store and process the trove of Palestinian communications in a mass surveillance programme.

Ryan Walters, the state’s superintendent of public instruction, released a video address on Tuesday saying that “every Oklahoma high school will have a Turning Point USA chapter.”

“For far too long we have seen radical leftists with the teachers unions dominate classrooms and push woke indoctrination on our kids,” Walters said in the video posted to social media.

The state-mandated chapters of “Club America,” Turning Point’s high school program, will ensure students “understand American greatness” while enabling them to “engage in civic dialogue and have that open discussion,” said Walters.

State school superintendent Ryan Walters said public high schools across the state must partner with late activist Charlie Kirk's organization to counter "woke indoctrination."
