Quand les gros contribuables négocient leurs redressements fiscaux
En 2024, l’Etat a conclu des accords amiables avec 92 particuliers et 223 entreprises en délicatesse avec le fisc. Les montants demandés ont été réduits de 71,5 %. Bercy a ainsi renoncé à 1,9 milliard d’euros, un record. Une pratique contestée par un rapport parlementaire.

Exploring MLLMs Perception of Network Visualization Principles
In this paper, we test whether Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) can match human-subject performance in tasks involving the perception of properties in network layouts. Specifically, we replicate a human-subject experiment about perceiving quality (namely stress) in network layouts using GPT-4o and Gemini-2.5. Our experiments show that giving MLLMs exactly the same study information as trained human participants results in a similar performance to human experts and exceeds the performanc…

From LLMs to MLLMs to Agents: A Survey of Emerging Paradigms in Jailbreak Attacks and Defenses within LLM Ecosystem
Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly evolving from single-modal systems to multimodal LLMs and intelligent agents, significantly expanding their capabilities while introducing increasingly severe security risks. This paper presents a systematic survey of the growing complexity of jailbreak attacks and corresponding defense mechanisms within the expanding LLM ecosystem. We first trace the developmental trajectory from LLMs to MLLMs and Agents, highlighting the core security challenges emergi…

#NoKings #usa #uspol
Proteste in den USA sind laut Einschätzung eines Wissenschaftlers zweifelsohne mit einer der größten Ein- Tages- Proteste in der menschlichen Geschichte 💪🎉

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions, rebuking Trump
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4-6 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

The high precision time nuts, a.k.a. the “Time Lords” had a pretty good demonstration at #Hamvention. They built an LLM that had ingested 10 years of papers and mailing lists and could answer questions reliably
