I feel like this Masto post will be evidence in yet another claim against Air Canada for wrecking someone’s mobility aid.

Attached: 1 image Sitting on the tarmac for an Air Canada flight from Toronto to Ottawa… The ground crew spent 2 hrs trying to fit a wheelchair into the cargo. After a very long time, they took it off the plane - but appeared to have detached the battery and maybe broken it. 😱 There were maybe 7-10 people out there trying to fix it. I feel for the owner of that chair! #accessibility #aircanada

Somebody ate a bee this morning.
Mr. Boots fed her a Benedryl right away, & she’s looking a lot better than she did a few hrs ago, but she’s still swollen, & I think it still hurts a bit. *sigh*

Controlling Multimodal LLMs via Reward-guided Decoding
As Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) gain widespread applicability, it is becoming increasingly desirable to adapt them for diverse user needs. In this paper, we study the adaptation of MLLMs through controlled decoding. To achieve this, we introduce the first method for reward-guided decoding of MLLMs and demonstrate its application in improving their visual grounding. Our method involves building reward models for visual grounding and using them to guide the MLLM's decoding process. Co…

it annoys me when news headlines refer to a government agency as taking a horrific action when it is clearly the work of the unconstitutional attackers of that agency, like saying the "EPA" is shredding environmental protections, but without an institutional opposition that is willing to defend these agencies and hire the ousted administrators to speak on behalf of the "real" agency, i don't see why i should care anymore.
