De uitslag in mijn gemeente. Wel een ruk naar rechts maar GL-PvdA houdt stand.

Friend in Bray was looking to move back into the home she was renting in 2022 for €2,100/month.
The landlord quotes her €3,000/month.
I’m shocked: how can he do that when there’s a 2% yearly cap on price increases? So the most he should be able to charge is €2,273.10.
Can you guess the answer?
Did you say because Irish people elected a majority conservative/neoliberal government?
(Apparently the government just removed the 2% cap for new tenancies.¹ Landlords ca…

It's probably a lost cause and also too short notice, but I'm still thinking about #AlgoApril, which I proposed back in 2022, but it's an incomplete list of prompts and sadly never took off...

Abstract: WikiKG90Mv2 in NeurIPS 2022 is a large encyclopedic knowledge graph. Embedding knowledge graphs into continuous vector spaces is important for many practical applications, such as knowledge acquisition, question answering, and recommendation systems. Compared to existing knowledge graphs, WikiKG90Mv2 is a large scale knowledge graph, which is composed of more than 90 millions of entities. Both efficiency and accuracy should be considered when building graph embedding models for knowledge graph at scale. To this end, we follow the retrieve then re-rank pipeline, and make novel modifications in both retrieval and re-ranking stage. Specifically, we propose a priority infilling retrieval model to obtain candidates that are structurally and semantically similar. Then we propose an ensemble based re-ranking model with neighbor enhanced representations to produce final link prediction results among retrieved candidates. Experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms existing baseline methods and improves MRR of validation set from 0.2342 to 0.2839.
