A quotation from Douglas Adams

You will need to know the difference between Friday and a fried egg. It’s quite a simple difference, but an important one. Friday comes at the end of the week, whereas a fried egg comes out of a chicken. Like most things, of course, it isn’t quite that simple. The fried egg isn’t properly a fried egg until it’s been put in a frying pan and fried. This is something you wouldn’t do to a Friday, of course, though you might do it on a Friday. You can also fry eggs on a Thursday, if you like, or on a cooker. It’s all rather complicated, but it makes a kind of sense if you think about it for a while.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
The Salmon of Doubt, Part 1 “Life,” “For Children Only” (2002) [ed. Peter Guzzardi]

#Distinction 🏆| Félicitations à Corentin Herbert, lauréat de la subvention de la Fondation Simone et Cino del Duca.

Il s’intéresse aux événements climatiques extrêmes, comme les vagues de chaleur et les transitions abruptes de la circulation atmosphérique ou océanique et leur impact sur le climat. Ses travaux visent à développer de nouveaux outils, notamment inspirés par la physique statistique, pour comprendre les mécanismes physiques sous-jacents à ces événements, les simuler et les prédire.

#Distinction 🏆| Léa Chazot-Franguiadakis reçoit le Grand Prix i-PhD 2025 pour le projet Viro-ID. Félicitations !

ViroID est une technologie innovante qui permet le suivi en temps réel des virus, ouvrant la voie à de nouvelles solutions de diagnostic et d’analyse.
La mission est double: exploiter le potentiel des virus bénéfiques, comme dans les vaccins, tout en protégeant contre les virus néfastes, afin de relever les grands défis de santé d’aujourd’hui et de demain.

#Decentralized #Module #Federation #Microfrontend #Architecture

I'm working on a #webapp and I'm being #creative on the #approach. It might be considered #overcomplicated (because it is), but I'm just trying something out. It's entirely possible this approach won't work #longterm. I see it as there is #onewaytofindout. I don't recommend this approach. Just sharing what I'm trying/#investigating.

How it will be #architected: [https://positive-intentions.com/blog/decentralised-architecture](https://positive-intentions.com/blog/decentralised-architecture)
Some #benefits of the #approach: [https://positive-intentions.com/blog/statics-as-a-chat-app-infrastructure](https://positive-intentions.com/blog/statics-as-a-chat-app-infrastructure)

I find that #modulefederation and #microfrontends to generally be #discouraged when I see posts, but I think it works for me in my #approach. I'm #optimistic about the approach and the #benefits and so I wanted to #share details.

When I serve the #federatedmodules, I can also host the #storybook statics so I think this could be a good way to #document the modules in #isolation.

#Cryptography modules - https://cryptography.positive-intentions.com/?path=%2Fdocs%2Fcryptography-introduction--docs

#P2P framework - https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/?path=%2Fdocs%2Fe2e-tests-connectionstatus--docs

This way, I can create #microfrontends that consume these #modules. I can then #share the #functionality between #apps. The following apps are using a different codebase from each other (there is a #distinction between these apps in #opensource and #closesource). Sharing those #dependencies could help make it easier to roll out #updates to #coremechanics.

#P2P chat - [https://chat.positive-intentions.com/](https://chat.positive-intentions.com/)
#P2P file transfer - [https://file.positive-intentions.com/](https://file.positive-intentions.com/)

The #functionality also works when I create an #Android build with #Tauri. This could also lead to it being easier to create #newapps that could use the #modules created.

I'm sure there will be some distinct #test/#maintenance #overhead, but depending on how it's #architected I think it could work and make it easier to #improve on the current #implementation.

Everything about the #project is far from finished. It could be seen as this is a #complicated way to do what #npm does, but I think this #approach allows for greater #flexibility by being able to #separate #opensource and #closesource code for the #web. (Of course as #javascript, it will always be "source code available". Especially in the age of #AI, I'm sure it's possible to #reverseengineer it like never before.)

(mastodon might not be the place for something like this, so let me know if you dont like this kind of content. i typically post on reddit and would like to shift it more towards mastodon. i also use lemmy, but mastodon has a better reach.)

Culture is a huge topic in companies. And wrongly so, to some extent! Experts like Ed Schein created a big mess with their writings about corporate culture, as they stubbornly confused #culture and #system. But by respecting the crucial #distinction between systems and culture, organizational transformation starts making sense again. In short: Forget about working the culture (or people). Stick with #WorkingTheSystem. Together.

If scientists want to determine whether an LLM has formed an accurate model of the world, measuring the accuracy of its predictions doesn’t go far enough.
For example, a transformer can predict valid moves in a game of Connect 4 nearly every time without understanding any of the rules.
So, the team developed two new metrics that can test a transformer’s world model. The researchers focused their evaluations on a class of problems called deterministic finite automations, or DFAs. 
A DFA is a problem with a sequence of states, like intersections one must traverse to reach a destination, and a concrete way of describing the rules one must follow along the way.
They chose two problems to formulate as DFAs:
navigating on streets in New York City
and playing the board game Othello.

“We needed test beds where we know what the world model is. Now, we can rigorously think about what it means to recover that world model,” Vafa explains.
The first metric they developed, called #sequence #distinction, says a model has formed a coherent world model it if sees two different states, like two different Othello boards, and recognizes how they are different. Sequences, that is, ordered lists of data points, are what transformers use to generate outputs.
The second metric, called #sequence #compression, says a transformer with a coherent world model should know that two identical states, like two identical Othello boards, have the same sequence of possible next steps.
They used these metrics to test two common classes of transformers, one which is trained on data generated from randomly produced sequences and the other on data generated by following strategies.
Surprisingly, the researchers found that transformers which made choices randomly formed more accurate world models, perhaps because they saw a wider variety of potential next steps during training. 
“In Othello, if you see two random computers playing rather than championship players, in theory you’d see the full set of possible moves, even the bad moves championship players wouldn’t make,” Vafa explains.
Even though the transformers generated accurate directions and valid Othello moves in nearly every instance,
the two metrics revealed that only one generated a coherent world model for Othello moves,
and none performed well at forming coherent world models in the wayfinding example.

#Distinction 🏆| L'académie des sciences récompense Laurent Chevillard. Il reçoit le prix Servant 2024. Félicitations!
Laurent développe des modèles de la #turbulence des #fluides, observée dans les expériences et les simulations des équations de Navier-Stokes. Bénéficiant d’un tissu collaboratif étoffé, il a construit des champs aléatoires qui rendent compte de la structure statistique fine de ces écoulements, et a proposé une dynamique stochastique simplifiée permettant de les réaliser.
