The feasibility of SLMs for GUI click automation (70% SLM-replaceable SLM queries) surprised me โ€“ I guess people look at GUIs and think "oh that is complex and meant for humans, that'll need an LLM". Maybe it's a case of "try LLMs first then downsize" for orgs

Out of interest (and laziness) does it mention any *specific* examples of where small language models shine before I trawl the paper? Sounds like a good read!

Seems like a good idea, if we canโ€™t keep an eye on dangerous driving with the usual methods then might as well ask the public who are concerned about it to help

Data published this year shows 20mph on London borough road resulted in:
๐Ÿ“‰40% drop in fatal collisions
๐Ÿ“‰75% fall in kids being killed
๐Ÿ“‰34% fall in people being killed or seriously injured.

Great to see Enfield making their streets safer with 20mph ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Awful isnโ€™t it! I disabled my Siri as it would annoy me by โ€œnot being able to connectโ€ more often than not. Back to the โ€œmanualโ€ experience and itโ€™s a lot less annoying!

Potentially groundbreaking court ruling against #Meta:

"A German court has ruled that Meta must pay โ‚ฌ5,000 to a ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช #Facebook user who sued the platform for embedding #tracking in third-party websites."

"This may very well be one of the most substantial rulings coming out of Europe this year [โ€ฆ]

This is analogous to coming up with killer world-changing ideas when drunk or high, and then you look at what you wrote down later and it just says "give birds roller skates"

@gitlab.com why is your sign-up so awful :/
first six rounds of 'move the train to the right co-ordinates' gets old fast, then _another_ six rounds of it when adding a phone number two minutes laterโ€ฆ let's hope there's not another when adding a payment method
