Curious about DeepSeek but worried about privacy? These apps let you use an LLM without the internet

Most of us are used to using internet chatbots like ChatGPT and DeepSeek in one of two ways: via a web browser or via their dedicated smartphone apps. There are two drawbacks to this. First, their use requires an internet connection. Second, everything you type into the chatb

Výkonný infračervený spektrograf WINERED poprvé pátral po temné hmotě

Japonský vysoce citlivý spektrograf WINERED se pustil do hledání temné hmoty. Pátral po ní ve spektrech trpasličích sférických galaxií, o nichž se domníváme, že by měly přetékat temnou hmotu. Nenašel nic, ale alespoň zase o něco zmenšil možný prostor, v němž se mohou skrývat částice temné hmoty. http://www.osel.cz/13931-vykonny-infracerveny-spektrograf-winered-poprve-patral-po-temne-hmote.html

The internet has suspicions about family vloggers fleeing California. Here’s why

An unsubstantiated online theory has recently taken hold, claiming that family vloggers are fleeing Los Angeles to escape newly introduced California laws designed to protect children featured in online content.

In recent years, several states have introduced new legislation aimed at protecting child influencers from exploitation. In September 2024, California Governor Gavin Newsom, with support from former child star Demi Lovato,

Jaderná fúze: Proxima Fusion Stellaris – fúzní elektrárna se stelarátorem

Stelarátory jsou vedle tokamaků druhou možností, jak spoutat plazma magnetickým polem. Na rozdíl od tokamaků byly jen málo zkoumány, protože jejich konstrukce byla mnohem složitější než u tokamaků a nedokázaly ohřát plazma. Zlomem se stal moderní stelarátor Wendelstein 7-X, který inspiruje řadu soukromých firem k obnovení výzkumu stelarátorů. http://www.osel.cz/13930-jaderna-fuze-proxima-fusion-stellaris-fuzni-elektrarna-se-stelaratorem.html

DOGE isn’t Silicon Valley innovation—it’s just a sloppy rebrand of free-market dogma

At a press conference in the Oval Office earlier this month, Elon Musk—a billionaire who is not, at least formally, the President of the United States—was asked how the Department of Government Efficiency manages potential conflicts of interest to ensure “accountability and transparency.” In response, Musk suggested that simply opening a browser tab would assuage the reporter’s concerns. “We post our actions to the DOGE handle on X, and to the DOGE website,” he said.

Next-gen nuclear startup plans 30 reactors to fuel Texas data centers

Last Energy, a nuclear upstart backed by an Elon Musk-linked venture capital fund, says it plans to construct 30 microreactors on a site in Texas to supply electricity to data centers across the state. The initiative, which it says could provide about 600 megawatts of electricity, would be the company’s largest project to date and help it develop a commercial pipeline in the U.S.

The creator economy is facing an authenticity crisis

For years, the creator economy has become increasingly accepted as the future of media. These days, makeup tutorials on TikTok could have the same impact for a brand as a multi-million dollar marketing campaign, and a progressive Twitch streamer can reach a comparable, if not bigger audience, as MSNBC. 

But like digital media before it, the creator economy now faces a multifaceted conundrum that could determine its long term fate: shifting priorities from

Google’s AI summaries are changing search. Now it’s facing a lawsuit

Hollywood’s obsession with AI-enabled ‘perfection’ is making movies less human

The notion of authenticity in the movies has moved a step beyond the merely realistic. More and more, expensive and time-consuming fixes to minor issues of screen realism have become the work of statistical data renderings—the visual or aural products of generative artificial intelligence. Deployed for effects that actors used to have to create themselves, with their own faces, bodies, and voices, filmmakers now deem these fixes necessary because they are more authentic than what actors can

OpenAI unveils its new GPT-4.5 large language model

OpenAI released a new base model on Thursday called GPT-4.5, which the company said is its best and smartest model for chat yet. It’s not a reasoning model like OpenAI’s o1 and o3 models, but it can be used to train other models to be reasoning models. Notably, GPT-4.5 was trained using 10 times the computing power (scores of GPUs in data centers) than its predecessor, GPT-4o. 

The result is a model whose outputs feel more

Trump promised to keep spying agencies in check. Then he fired the watchdogs he appointed

President Donald Trump vowed to fight government abuse and introduce more transparency, a stance that might align him with a little-known agency charged with watching over the U.S.’s powerful spying programs. Lately it’s investigated and critiqued the intelligence community’s secret terrorist watchlist, its fight against domestic extremism, and its warrantless searching of Americans’ emails. The agency, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, is also central to a hard-won agree

Meme coins aren’t just harmless fun

For some time, meme coins have occupied a peculiar space in online culture.
