How Cameroonians Can Contribute to Cameroon Open Data Using a Simple Online Form

0
·6 views

Cameroon Open Data is a community project that gathers local knowledge such as exam questions, proverbs, language translations, laws and facts about places, and stores it openly so students, researchers and future AI tools can use it. Contributors do not need programming skills, since submissions are made by filling in a form on the GitHub website. The guide walks readers through creating a free GitHub account, starring the project repository, and opening the Issues tab to select a suitable form. It explains the available forms, including those for exam questions, texts, translations, facts and recordings or photos, along with the rule that required fields are marked with a red star. Volunteers can also choose a general folder if unsure, and maintainers will place the entry correctly.

Ce qu'est une proposition d'amélioration (EIP sur Ethereum, BIP sur Bitcoin)

Une proposition d'amélioration, appelée EIP pour Ethereum et BIP pour Bitcoin, est un document formel décrivant une nouvelle fonctionnalité, un correctif ou une modification du protocole. Rédigée selon un format standardisé, elle est publiée et discutée par la communauté avant d'être éventuellement adoptée par les développeurs et les mineurs. Ce mécanisme permet une évolution décentralisée, avec des changements documentés, évalués et mis en œuvre de façon transparente. Le processus suit plusieurs étapes : rédaction sur GitHub, révisions issues des retours, validation formelle, puis intégration au code et archivage. Il vise aussi à préserver l'interopérabilité, éviter les forks inutiles et maintenir un historique clair du développement.

CiteWise Uses an LLM for Search Hints Only, Not Verdicts, After a Scoring Bug

The developer of CiteWise, a tool that checks whether academic references point to real papers, initially let an LLM guess at missing citation fields and then scored real papers against those guesses. This allowed plausible but incorrect citations to be marked as verified. The fix treats the LLM output strictly as search hints, scores all candidates against the user's originally parsed input, and only replaces the first search result when the second scores strictly higher. The update also retired the POSSIBLE_HALLUCINATION status, since failing to find a paper does not justify that claim. The author additionally found that treating empty search results as a clear outcome was flawed, prompting a rethink of how not-found and insufficient-evidence cases are distinguished.

UK online supermarket shelf prices dip 0.24% in week 44; Australia rises 0.48%

A weekly index of posted online shelf prices for UK supermarkets fell 0.24% in the week to 2026-W44, with Aldi recording the largest decline at 0.88%. The UK measure covers Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Aldi, using 74,335 matched products. A separate index for Coles, Woolworths and Aldi Australia rose 0.48% over the same period, with Woolworths up 1.19%. The Australian index is based on 21,029 products, and its Coles coverage is partial, drawn from about 21% of its listings. The indices track posted online prices rather than what consumers actually pay, and they are not official inflation statistics such as CPI. The publisher did not give a reason for Aldi's fall in the UK data.

Hamburg web developer shares how AI agents handle research, drafts and analysis in his business

A Hamburg web development business owner describes how he runs his firm with AI agents handling groundwork such as data analysis, sourced research and draft texts. He keeps final decisions himself, especially anything published externally, spending money, or emailing clients. The article outlines five personal rules, including that no figure goes out without a source and that client data is only accessed once cleared. He also reports that AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini now drive roughly a third of his enquiries, making them as important as Google. Marketing follows a cycle of measuring, planning, drafting, approving and measuring again, with approval always kept with him.
