Heizungsgesetz - wie Populisten die Wärmewende behinderten
> Was die Studienautoren überrascht hat, waren weniger die typisch populistischen Diskurs-Strategien als vielmehr die Akteure selbst, sagt Haas: "Wie nah die Argumentationsweise der Unionsparteien an der der AfD war. Die AfD war sicher noch schärfer und polemischer, aber insgesamt lässt sich da in der Logik der Argumentation eine große Nähe feststellen."

Heizungsgesetz - wie Populisten die Wärmewende behinderten
Im März 2023 war das Heizungsgesetz der Anfang einer hitzigen Debatte, die auch zum Scheitern der Ampel mit beigetragen hat. Forschende vom Institut für Nachhaltigkeit haben den Diskurs nun analysiert und populistische Argumentationsmuster entdeckt.

Why LLM Safety Guardrails Collapse After Fine-tuning: A Similarity Analysis Between Alignment and Fine-tuning Datasets
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have underscored their vulnerability to safety alignment jailbreaks, particularly when subjected to downstream fine-tuning. However, existing mitigation strategies primarily focus on reactively addressing jailbreak incidents after safety guardrails have been compromised, removing harmful gradients during fine-tuning, or continuously reinforcing safety alignment throughout fine-tuning. As such, they tend to overlook a critical upstream factor: …

Had no idea it was happening.
Some of it is an hotel which is great to see but if the rest is built with very small condo sizes it will be a hard sell on the current market.

HASH-RAG: Bridging Deep Hashing with Retriever for Efficient, Fine Retrieval and Augmented Generation
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) encounters efficiency challenges when scaling to massive knowledge bases while preserving contextual relevance. We propose Hash-RAG, a framework that integrates deep hashing techniques with systematic optimizations to address these limitations. Our queries directly learn binary hash codes from knowledgebase code, eliminating intermediate feature extraction steps, and significantly reducing storage and computational overhead. Building upon this hash-based eff…

Inferring Obscured Cosmic Black Hole Accretion History from AGN Found by JWST/MIRI CEERS Survey
This study presents the black hole accretion history (BHAH) of obscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) identified from the JWST CEERS survey by Chien et al. (2024) using mid-infrared (MIR) SED fitting. We compute black hole accretion rates (BHARs) to estimate the black hole accretion density (BHAD), $ρ_{L_{\mathrm{disk}}}$, across $0 < z < 4.25$. MIR luminosity functions (LFs) are also constructed for these sources, modeled with modified Schechter and double power law forms, and corresponding B…

Comfort

Baltimore mayor & council members introduce comprehensive yimby package. Has backing of city's main business & community action organizations:
● Legalize 2-, 3- & 4-unit houses in 1-family districts
● Abolish minimum off-street parking requirements
● Legalize single-staircase structures with more than 3 stories
I don't think I've seen all this in one package anywhere up to now.

Baltimore’s top YIMBYs want to erase zoning rules blocking more housing
A package of five bills will attempt to make it easier to build and redevelop Baltimore City properties.

Nice work by International Law Enforcement in taking down the Danabot malware infrastructure. Includes quotes from @… of Proofpoint on the dual-use Cybercrime/Nation State Intelligence nature of some of the operations.
