Is a nude picture perverted?
No. That is not the question.
The question is "do you hang out with an erotic magazine at work ?" and "Is it normal ?"

"elected for no obvious reason" isn't quite right, as a test image for computer graphics it has regions of very high frequency detail and regions of very low frequency detail which make it easier to spot various compression artifacts, and it makes a good study for edge detection, with both very clear edges along the outline, but more subjective edges in the feathering.
It's redish. Ok it has a blur and details on the foreground but could have been any image with blurred background and a face.
"very low frequency detail", we are talking about a 512x512 picture here, it has low and high frequency details (FFT speaking) like most photos.
"Good for edges detection" doesn't mean anything. Like, is the image good for edge detection or the algorithm is good at detecting edges ? What does "subjective edges" even mean ? Does it mean hard to spot ?
That looks like technical reasons but it just noise. They literally grab a playboy magazine and decided it was well enough (and indeed, it wasn't that bad, yes). Still not professional. The message is "We have playboy magazines at work and we are proud of it".
Who is Lenna?
A copyrighted image of a nude model elected for no obvious reason has a test image in the University of South California by some pervs and then used in a lot of papers as a test image.
Or, a standard cropped image of a playgirl used in the field of image processing.
They don't claim to support Polish, but they do support Russian.
> The model is natively multilingual, achieving strong transcription performance in 13 languages, including English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian, German, Japanese, Korean, Italian, and Dutch. With a 4B parameter footprint, it runs efficiently on edge devices, ensuring privacy and security for sensitive deployments.
I wonder how much having languages with the same roots (e.g. the romance languages in the list above or multiple Slavic languages) affects the parameter count and the training set. Do you need more training data to differentiate between multiple similar languages? How would swapping, for example, Hindi (fairly distinct from the other 12 supported languages) for Ukrainian and Polish (both share some roots with Russian) affect the parameter count?
Just a side note to remember that this is a mini model.
It's very small and yet 12 languages.
I guess a European version can be created but now it's aimed at a world wide distribution.
Hahah in a moment of desperation I put “unicorn” which its response made me laugh out loud.
Ahah. After trying myself, I immediately tried "Obama" and it works !
But oddly enough, most personality with a name in the "List of organisms named after famous people" doesn't work. Nether does bacterium or fish !

Impressive. Kudos.
You realise that it's only a toy implementation aimed at learning and not a full implementation. The parsing of HTML alone is way more complex than your actual implementation not mentioning at lot of things like the rendering or network (outsourced to Qt).
Still a nice achievement that get you to understand why making a browser is a very complex task.

Related to the last Telnet CVE?
Why talking about telnet now otherwise?

Ironic to use Github to post about sovereignty )
I'm trying to not use it myself but yes, la suite numérique should get out of GitHub.
They already did it for the Ministry of Education with [La Forge](https://docs.forge.apps.education.fr/). Used to be forgejo, now a GitLab instance.

For a fraction of what these products cost France could fund open source alternatives.
