Brand new shoes and rug. Winter can come now
Viime aikoina onkin paljon puhuttu siitä, miten tärkeää on, että vanhemmat rajoittavat lastensa netin ja somen käyttöä. Seuraavaksi Lassen äiti meneekin sitten Elisa-kauppaan, ja hankkii Lasselle älypuhelimen tilalle kellopuhelimen

Olen ollut mukana rekrytointiprosesseissa niin rekrytoivana esihenkilönä, haastattelijana, kuin hakijanakin, ja nähnyt näitä huuhaa testejä pöydän molemmilta puolilta. Oman näkemykseni mukaan nämä ovat silkkaa ajan ja rahan tuhlausta, eikä näistä ole mitään hyötyä kenellekään.

Tutkija: Suurin osa rekrytointifirmoista käyttää huuhaa-testejä
Onko sinunkin firmaasi levitetty new age -johtamisoppeja? Tutkimusryhmän mukaan työpaikoille on uinut näennäistieteellisiä oppeja, joilla ei ole tutkimuksellista pohjaa.

Iltalehti haluaa tarjota valinnanvapautta, mutta se maksaa
Iltalehti on Suomessa ensimmäinen ”maksa tai suostu” -mallin käyttöön ottanut media. Asia tullaan ottamaan Traficomin valvonnassa tarkasteltavaksi.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Implication: security doesn't scale with LLMs.
Super interesting: Prior work had suggested that as model sizes grew, it would make them cost-prohibitive to poison. 1/

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.
