The propaganda is so wild. When I was younger, they'd lie about things 20-30 years prior, with the assumption that people will have forgotten. Now they are constantly attempting to rewrite history that happened a mere 5 years ago, thinking that they're slick.
To quote Orwell: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Deep Learning Reconstruction of Tropical Cyclogenesis in the Western North Pacific from Climate Reanalysis Dataset
This study presents a deep learning (DL) architecture based on residual convolutional neural networks (ResNet) to reconstruct the climatology of tropical cyclogenesis (TCG) in the Western North Pacific (WNP) basin from climate reanalysis datasets. Using different TCG data labeling strategies and data enrichment windows for the NASA Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications Version 2 (MERRA2) dataset during the 1980-2020 period, we demonstrate that ResNet can reasonably rep…

En zie daar het grote verschil dat Nieuwsuur maakt vandaag. Daar een lang item over een Israëlische vrouw em een Palestijnse man die Eem paar km uit elkaar wonen..
Achteraan ook bovenstaand stukje.
De bijeenkomst werd gehouden door de Israëlische ambassade en CJO.
Zeker zolang Israel genocide pleegt is het onbestaanbaar dat Schoof zich daar vertoont.

Trump’s DOJ seeks voting equipment in Missouri ahead of 2026 election
The unusual request for equipment used by two Republican clerks in the 2020 election comes after Trump said he would lead a movement to get rid of voting machines.

Federal Courts Slow to Fix Vulnerable System After Repeated Hacking
After a 2020 breach thought to be Russia’s work, the courts told Congress that they would harden a system storing sealed documents. Five years later, the system was hacked again.

Die letzte Kommunalwahl in NRW war 2020, damals stand das Thema Klima ganz oben auf der Agenda. Jetzt geht es um Wirtschaft, Sicherheit, Migration. Klimaschutz ist kaum ein Thema mehr. Und das in einem der Bundesländer der Flutkatastrophe im Ahrtal 2021. Ob der Klimawandel weiß, dass er sich jetzt mal zurückhalten soll, weil er kein Trendthema mehr ist?

I find it kinda funny that the 2020 MacBook Air—my work machine (albeit with 16 GB of RAM)—is now described as being “still capable at handling basic tasks like a champ, including streaming video, browsing, and dealing with documents.”
I haven’t noticed #Emacs slowing down, so what do people do that needs so much more computing power!?

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way
His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

In 2020, Twitter had become utterly intolerable because of the Woke Left. Now it is utterly intolerable because of the Woke Right. It's a ruin.

Tractability Frontiers of the Shapley Value for Aggregate Conjunctive Queries
In recent years, the Shapley value has emerged as a general game-theoretic measure for assessing the contribution of a tuple to the result of a database query. We study the complexity of calculating the Shapley value of a tuple for an aggregate conjunctive query, which applies an aggregation function to the result of a conjunctive query (CQ) based on a value function that assigns a number to each query answer. Prior work by Livshits, Bertossi, Kimelfeld, and Sebag (2020) established that this t…

Perturbed Public Voices (P$^{2}$V): A Dataset for Robust Audio Deepfake Detection
Current audio deepfake detectors cannot be trusted. While they excel on controlled benchmarks, they fail when tested in the real world. We introduce Perturbed Public Voices (P$^{2}$V), an IRB-approved dataset capturing three critical aspects of malicious deepfakes: (1) identity-consistent transcripts via LLMs, (2) environmental and adversarial noise, and (3) state-of-the-art voice cloning (2020-2025). Experiments reveal alarming vulnerabilities of 22 recent audio deepfake detectors: models trai…
