Pure Telecom, the Irish-owned telecoms provider, has announced new results from its annual Connected Lives survey, which reveals that nearly one-in-four social media users (24%) have quit a social media platform because they disapprove of its owner, while 29% are considering doing so. The nationally representative survey of 1,001 adults in Ireland was conducted by Censuswide on behalf of Pure Telecom. The research suggests that ongoing debates around platform ownership may be negatively influencing user sentiment, with 67% expressing concern over who owns the platforms they use, versus 33% who said it doesn’t bother them. Social media users aged 18…

In this article, you will learn how to fine-tune open-source large language models for customer support using Unsloth and QLoRA, from dataset preparation through training, testing, and comparison. Topics we will cover include: Setting up a Colab environment and installing required libraries. Preparing and formatting a customer support dataset for instruction tuning. Training with LoRA adapters, saving, testing, and comparing against a base model. Let’s get to it. How to Fine-Tune a Local Mistral/Llama 3 Model on Your Own Dataset Introduction Large language models (LLMs) like Mistral 7B and Llama 3 8B have shaken the AI field, but their broad…

Ryan and I have talked about a lot of things since we took over as the editors of Smart Data Collective a few years ago. One thing that we didn’t talk as much about is why a Microsoft 365 Migration is important for organizations that rely on data to guide decisions. You may already notice that many analytics conversations focus on tools while overlooking how people actually access and share information. It is common for teams to store data in multiple places without a clear structure for collaboration. There are growing expectations for leaders to turn raw data into insight…

In the report released on December 17, CodeRabbit said it had analyzed 470 open source GitHub pull requests including 320 AI-co-authored pull requests and 150 that were likely generated by humans alone. In the blog post introducing the report, the company said the results were, “Clear, measurable, and consistent with what many developers have been feeling intuitively: AI accelerates output, but it also amplifies certain categories of mistakes.” The report also found security issues increasing consistently in AI co-authored pull requests. While none of the noted vulnerabilities were unique to AI-generated code, they appeared significantly more often, increasing the overall…

In 2024, ESET researchers noticed previously undocumented malware in the network of a Southeast Asian governmental entity. This led us to uncover even more new malware on the same system, none of which had substantial ties to any previously tracked threat actors. Based on our findings, we decided to attribute the malicious tools to a new China-aligned APT group that we have named LongNosedGoblin. The group employs a varied custom toolset consisting mainly of C#/.NET applications, and, notably, uses Group Policy to deploy its malware and move laterally across the systems of targeted entities. This blogpost details our discovery of…

Recently, I’ve updated to MacOS 26.2 without knowing this would break compatibility with Xcode 16.4, so I am forced to use Xcode 26 to continue working on my project. I use SPM for dependencies. I’ve updated Firebase to latest version (12.7.0) and I’ve found a problem I’ve never had in Xcode 16. When I try to import FirebaseAnalytics in my code, Xcode tells me there’s no such a module. The module is linked in the Frameworks, Libraries and Embedded content section of Xcode: I’ve also set the Explicitly Build modules setting to No at project level: But, no matter what…

Imagine being on the moon; surrounded by hundreds of thousand ft2 of space. Most of the activity you see is robotic – automated material-handling systems moving things from point A to B. The few people around are wearing “bunny suits” [1] and masks. They look like astronauts – they are not. You are not in space, you are in the clean room of one of Intel’s chip manufacturing facilities. These facilities are sophisticated, controlled environments where disruptions are extremely costly. In here, we produce state of the art microchips, where a single chip can be made of 28 billion transistors.…
