Das ging gerade an die CDU-Bundestagsfraktion. Und mit der zusätzlichen Frage, wo die Gegenwehr und das Rückgrat der SPD bleibt, auch an diese.

“Are we the baddies?” is not a question anyone in the West has to ask themselves. There’s no question about it. You were. You are. Will you continue to be? That’s the only question that matters and the answer is entirely up to you.
Silence is complicity.
Inaction is complicity.
Apologism is complicity.

Attached: 1 image More RAF jets are being sent to the Middle East, Keir Starmer has said after Iran threatened to target UK, French and US bases if the countries help stop strikes on Israel. Additional refuelling aircraft have been deployed from UK bases and more fast jets will be sent over, it is understood. The UK already has RAF jets in the Middle East as part of Operation Shader. https://www.thenational.scot/news/25239897.uk-jets-sent-middle-east-despite-calls-de-escalation/ 🕎 �…

Trump: Selenskyj sollte nicht auf Moskau zielen
US-Präsident Donald Trump hat die Frage von Journalisten, ob er bereit sei, der Ukraine Langstreckenraketen bereitzustellen, mit einem klaren Nein geantwortet: "Das ist nicht unsere Absicht". Der Republikaner wurde zudem gefragt, ob der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj Moskau oder andere Ziele tiefer in Russland ins Visier nehmen sollte. Trump antwortete darauf: "Nein, …

Ukraine-Liveblog: Trump: Moskau sollte kein Ziel werden
US-Präsident Trump will der Ukraine keine Langstreckenraketen liefern und rät Präsident Selenskyj davon ab, Moskau oder andere Orte in Russland anzugreifen. In der Region Sumy werden offenbar 40.000 Ukrainer evakuiert. Die Entwicklungen im Liveblog:

Erneut Verletzte nach russischen Angriffen in der Ukraine
Russland hat in der Nacht mehrere Städte in der Ukraine mit hunderten Drohnen und einer Rakete angegriffen. Dabei wurden nach Angaben der Behörden mindestens 15 Menschen verletzt. Die ukrainische Luftwaffe teilte mit, Russland habe 400 Drohnen sowie eine ballistische Rakete eingesetzt und vor allem die Städte Charkiw, Krywyj Rih und Winnyzja ins Visier genommen. Die gr…

Accurate Reduced Floating-Point Precision Implicit Monte Carlo
This work describes methodologies to successfully implement the Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) scheme for thermal radiative transfer in reduced-precision floating-point arithmetic. The methods used can be broadly categorized into scaling approaches and floating-point arithmetic manipulations. Scaling approaches entail re-scaling values to ensure computations stay within a representable range. Floating-point arithmetic manipulations involve changes to order of operations and alternative summation al…

Scaling Learned Image Compression Models up to 1 Billion
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) highlight a strong connection between intelligence and compression. Learned image compression, a fundamental task in modern data compression, has made significant progress in recent years. However, current models remain limited in scale, restricting their representation capacity, and how scaling model size influences compression performance remains unexplored. In this work, we present a pioneering study on scaling up learned image compression mode…

The Dark Energy Bedrock All-Sky Supernova Program: Motivation, Design, Implementation, and Preliminary Data Release
Precise measurements of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at low redshifts ($z$) serve as one of the most viable keys to unlocking our understanding of cosmic expansion, isotropy, and growth of structure. The Dark Energy Bedrock All-Sky Supernovae (DEBASS) program will deliver the largest uniformly calibrated low-$z$ SN Ia data set in the southern hemisphere to date. DEBASS utilizes the Dark Energy Camera to image supernovae in conjunction with the Wide-Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) to gather comprehens…

Bref, l'intelligence artificielle n'a que celle que lui prête le miroir de notre idiotie. Quelle surprise.
Ben ouais, l'IA est toujours incapable d'entendement et d'interaction. Je dis encore une fois Š quel point il est atterrant qu'on résume l'intelligence au calcul ?

A corporate recruiter in Toronto who spent 3 weeks convinced by ChatGPT that he was essentially Tony Stark from Iron Man, agreed to share his transcript after breaking free of the delusion. We analyzed the transcript & shared it with experts. Now you can see the interactions & how delusional spirals happen: https…
