Demand that the European Union does not leave millions of dogs and cats unprotected against illegal breeding! #AnimalRights

Demand that the European Union does not leave millions of dogs and cats unprotected against illegal breeding!
While MEPs prepare to vote on a groundbreaking regulation on the welfare of dogs and cats, animal welfare organizations warn: the proposed exemptions could leave millions of animals unprotected.

Earlier this year, Elon Musk poured tens of millions of dollars into the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, after spending hundreds of millions to elect Donald Trump.
It looked like our democracy was truly over. 
But Blue Future's young organizers pounded the pavement.
We out-organized Musk.
And we defeated his MAGA candidate on a shoestring budget!
Now, Trump has lost confidence in Musk, who's slinking away from the White House!
What's next? …

I just gave to Blue Future!

I think we all knew a Melon Husk / Turnip meltdown was inevitable, but I didn't think it'd happen this soon, escalate this quickly, or blowup this spectacularly.

Efficient Learning for Entropy-Regularized Markov Decision Processes via Multilevel Monte Carlo
Designing efficient learning algorithms with complexity guarantees for Markov decision processes (MDPs) with large or continuous state and action spaces remains a fundamental challenge. We address this challenge for entropy-regularized MDPs with Polish state and action spaces, assuming access to a generative model of the environment. We propose a novel family of multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) algorithms that integrate fixed-point iteration with MLMC techniques and a generic stochastic approximat…

RiOSWorld: Benchmarking the Risk of Multimodal Compter-Use Agents
With the rapid development of multimodal large language models (MLLMs), they are increasingly deployed as autonomous computer-use agents capable of accomplishing complex computer tasks. However, a pressing issue arises: Can the safety risk principles designed and aligned for general MLLMs in dialogue scenarios be effectively transferred to real-world computer-use scenarios? Existing research on evaluating the safety risks of MLLM-based computer-use agents suffers from several limitations: it ei…

Millions of public euros subsidize bullfighting through regional televisions
We reveal the hidden cost of public funding for bullfighting broadcasts on Spain’s regional television channels, which has increased in recent years, especially in those Autonomous Communities governed by the Partido Popular and VOX.
