AI in the times of authoritarian censorship
This post is about strong indication that modern AI platforms are influenced by current politics in such a way that they censor their responses to satisfy demands set upon them by authoritarian governments. For some time now I have been exploring use of popular AI products as fact-checking tools, and have had a significant success.…

AI kao alat za provjeru informacija
Umjetna inteligencija, popularni AI, zanimljiv je novi alat koji može biti od pomoći u različitim situacijama: može za nas stvarati tekst, slike i zvuk, s njim možemo “razgovarati”, zatražiti da nam pojasni pojmove ili provjeri pravopis, pa čak i umjesto nas napiše domaću zadaću (nemojte ovo pokušavati kod kuće). (AI analizu ovog teksta možete poslušati…

In memoriam: Dejan Ristanović
Često nekako prerano odu oni ljudi koji su svojim životom barem malo pomakli Zemlju. Tako i Dejan Ristanović – čovjek čije su ideje pokretale cijele naraštaje. Netko će ga pamtiti po PC Pressu, netko po Sezamu, netko po Računarima; kako je već tko imao priliku upoznati njegov rad. Moje je sjećanje efemeričnije, nedohvatljivo. Iako nikad…

Kako se FINA zaigrala, što se moglo dogoditi i što bi se moglo dogoditi
U domaćoj javnosti relativno blago je plasirana priča o tome kako je FINA isporučila certifikat za DNS koji pripada poznatoj svjetskoj tvrtki. Omanja pogreška, sitnica jedna. “Odbijamo tvrdnju da je ugroženo povjerenje u izdavanje certifikata. Fina je 23 godine izdavatelj digitalnih certifikata, odnosno strogo regulirani ovjerovitelj usluga povjerenja. Korisnici i sustavi nisu niti će biti…

How to selectively and partially enable or disable “et al.” in Citation Style Language
This article explains how to create a CSL style that allows the “et al.” abbreviation to appear selectively—in inline citations, in the bibliography, or both. I wrote this because I couldn’t find a clear, standards-compliant explanation online—aside from some hacks, there seems to be no resource that shows how to achieve this within the CSL…

prAIvate tutor – hrvatska verzija
Napomena: ovo je verzija teksta kojeg sam izvorno napisao na engleskom jeziku i potom dao AI-u da mi lijepo prevede i uredi na hrvatskom jeziku. AI je lijepo… AI se lijepo uneredio. Napravio sam minimalne izmjene kako bih poravnao najgrublje dijelove prijevoda i on je takav kakav jest: pokazuje ograničenja AI-a. Ako znate engleski jezik…

prAIvate tutor
(TL;DR update: you can listen to AI discussing this article here) Everyone knows it: AI is here to stay. It’s still clunky, power-hungry, and unwieldy – but it’s improving fast. We can certainly look forward to having very decent local LLM (Large Language Model, the hyped variation of AI we use today) running on our…

For a keycap more: SayoDevice OSU O3C
My trusty old G613 keyboard started showing signs of age, multiplying or omitting keystrokes. It’ still not a big issue, I don’t mind occasional extra “e” but it does annoy me when copy paste combination replaces the content in a way I can’t undo. So I bought this nice little keyboardling. It’s got an encoder…

AI critic
I’ve just recently created a Writers Club, a copy of a club I was a member of about nine years ago. As a first topic I’ve suggested “scientific discovery” (and that with a reason, but that’s another story); the rules are simple – on given topic, create a short story in any style you see…

Unrestrained child
Do you believe that AI is going to hurt us? Should it be closely monitored and its performance checked and corrected if necessary? Or should we let it evolve with little to no supervision. What could possibly go wrong? An executive order It turns out that US President Trump has signed an executive order revoking…
