Bari Weiss
– a staunch Zionist and a fierce opponent of supposed wokeness and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives
– famously left the New York Times opinion section,
claiming she had been bullied by her colleagues for her beliefs.
She started a Substack newsletter and eventually founded the wildly successful website Free Press.
Her rise has been meteoric. She “has ascended the mountain of journalism on a slingshot”, Jessica Testa of the New York T…

Bari Weiss is a weird and worrisome choice as top editor for CBS News
When Weiss was named editor-in-chief, it was the latest turn in the network’s confounding departure from its roots

From Keywords to Clusters: AI-Driven Analysis of YouTube Comments to Reveal Election Issue Salience in 2024
This paper aims to explore two competing data science methodologies to attempt answering the question, "Which issues contributed most to voters' choice in the 2024 presidential election?" The methodologies involve novel empirical evidence driven by artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. By using two distinct methods based on natural language processing and clustering analysis to mine over eight thousand user comments on election-related YouTube videos from one right leaning journal, Wall Stre…

Lucky Lucky SHD 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A nighttime urban street scene illuminated by a bright streetlight. In the foreground, a row of identical bicycles is neatly parked, likely part of a bike-sharing system. The light casts strong shadows and highlights the metallic frames. Behind the bikes is a decorative wall with vertical bars, possibly a fence, and trees with sparse leaves visible above it. A solar panel is mounted on the streetlight pole. On the right edge, a car with headlights on …
Lucky Lucky SHD 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A fluffy white cat with darker markings sits calmly on a cushioned chair with a metal frame. The room is dimly lit, creating a moody and intimate atmosphere. The cat faces slightly left, its fur soft and voluminous. In the background, household items are scattered: a table, a cup, hanging clothes, and a curtain. The black-and-white tone adds a nostalgic, almost cinematic feel to the domestic scene. 中文替代文本： 一只毛茸茸的白猫，身上有些深色斑纹，安静地坐在一张金属框架的软垫椅子上。房间光线昏暗，营…
Lucky Lucky SHD 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A busy urban street scene under an elevated highway. On the sidewalk, a man sits on a motorcycle next to a cart filled with goods, possibly for sale. Parked motorcycles and bicycles line the pavement. Trees and a metal railing frame the foreground. In the background, multiple buses and cars, including a sleek black sports car, move along the road. The scene captures the energy of city life, blending transit, commerce, and infrastructure. 中文替代文本： 这是一个…
Lucky Lucky SHD 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A bustling indoor market corridor stretches into the distance. Shops line both sides, selling clothes, packaged goods, and miscellaneous items. Shoppers walk through, some browsing. The ceiling has exposed beams and hanging lights. Signs with Chinese characters hang above the stalls. On the right, large windows let in natural light, and posters and advertisements decorate the walls. The black-and-white palette gives the scene a documentary-style reali…

SF is learning the wrong lesson from speed cameras I'm afraid. There's no evidence these cameras are slowing drivers outside of the specific spots they're placed; that they'll slow outlier speeders most likely to kill; or that road diets wouldn't achieve better results for less money.

Commentary: Speed Cameras are a Good Start for Safe Streets - Streetsblog San Francisco
But all tools, not just speed cameras, must be used to achieve Vision Zero

SITCOM: Scaling Inference-Time COMpute for VLAs
Learning robust robotic control policies remains a major challenge due to the high cost of collecting labeled data, limited generalization to unseen environments, and difficulties in planning over long horizons. While Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models offer a promising solution by grounding natural language instructions into single-step control commands, they often lack mechanisms for lookahead and struggle with compounding errors in dynamic tasks. In this project, we introduce Scaling Infere…

«“We are seeing in real time how a government can melt in front of our eyes,” Alejandro Bercovich, a leading Argentine TV and radio journalist told me this week. “I never thought they would collapse this quickly.” […] It’s not only Milei’s administration melting away; so too are his once-packed international throng of cheerleaders and wolf-whistlers. Farage, Badenoch, Musk and all the rest are maintaining a red-faced silence. Curious, that..»

20 ans sous l’emprise d’une communauté sectaire – #CCA
On nous avait exigé de ne pas prononcer le nom de l'accusé ni celui de l'OKC. En effet, les médias redoutent les dérives sectaires et les poursuites judiciaires visant Š les réduire au silence.
