ICE-ID: A Novel Historical Census Data Benchmark Comparing NARS against LLMs, \& a ML Ensemble on Longitudinal Identity Resolution
We introduce ICE-ID, a novel benchmark dataset for historical identity resolution, comprising 220 years (1703-1920) of Icelandic census records. ICE-ID spans multiple generations of longitudinal data, capturing name variations, demographic changes, and rich genealogical links. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first large-scale, open tabular dataset specifically designed to study long-term person-entity matching in a real-world population. We define identity resolution tasks (within and…

Who's been around long enough to remember when it was AWS us-east-1 going down that would break the Internet every few months, instead of GCloud?

Sometimes real images give you that creepy GenAI vibe: https://images.sanoma-sndp.fi/3e3768287b3149470df5c75f97472a8e/normal/1920.avif (from https://www.hs.fi/tiede/art-2000011153444.html)

I don't mind solving hard and interesting problems.
But I do get unreasonably angry at tools that so clearly care about only one specific use case and give a big FU to any other, like the one I'm trying to solve.

Message your congresscritters, NOW. Tell them to order Trump to call off the military.
(He won't listen, but that sets up a direct confrontation sooner rather than later. Which is good for us.)

Tell Congress: No Troops on Our Streets
President Trump has deployed thousands of National Guard and federal troops into our communities in response to Angelenos protesting the dangerous and cruel ICE raids across LA. Tell Congress: No troops on our streets.

Hey, all of you 2nd Amendment fans who insist you need all those guns to protect you from evil authoritarian government oppression... Your moment has arrived.
Or were you just sacrificing kids so you could cosplay a soldier?
Or are you OK with an authoritarian government crushing its own citizens as long as they're brown people?
We're all waiting for an answer... The longer we wait, the more we assume it's the latter.

I just upgraded to fedora 42 sway and my monitors traded sides. The laptop is showing as "2" and the addon as "1". Where do I set the order / location? I added "pos 1920 0" to the config for one monitor, but that didn't seem to do it. Any tips? [DP-2 should be to the right of the eDP-1, but its not for some reason]
output DP-2 {

O termo "robô" foi introduzido pelo escritor tcheco Karel Čapek em 1920 em sua peça "R.U.R." (Robôs Universais de Rossum).
No entanto, o próprio Karel Čapek admitiu que a palavra foi, na verdade, cunhada por seu irmão, o pintor e escritor Josef Čapek. Karel não tinha certeza de como nomear os trabalhadores artificiais em sua peça e consultou o irmão, que sugeriu a palavra "robô".

Rudolf Rocker (1873–1958) was a prominent German anarchist writer and activist, best known for his advocacy of anarcho-syndicalism.
Rocker argued that genuine liberation cannot be achieved through authoritarian systems or centralized state power.
Rocker was deeply critical of the Bolshevik regime in Russia, viewing it as a betrayal of the ideals of freedom and workers’ self-management.
He believed that the Bolsheviks simply replaced one form of oppression with another, demo…
