Lettland ordnet erste Ausreisen von Russen an
In Lettland ist den ersten russischen Staatsbürgern, die keine Aufenthaltserlaubnis mehr haben, die Ausreise angeordnet worden. Nach Angaben der Migrationsbehörde in Riga haben sechs Russen einen entsprechenden Bescheid erhalten. Zwei davon hätten bereits das Land verlassen, sagte Behördenleiterin Maira Roze im lettischen Fernsehen. Die anderen vier müssen dies nun binnen 30 Tagen …

Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Türkei würde Friedensgipfel ausrichten ++
Der türkische Präsident Erdogan hat sich bereit gezeigt, einen Friedensgipfel zur Ukraine in seinem Land auszurichten. Verteidigungsminister Pistorius unterstützt Kanzler Scholz in der "Taurus"-Debatte. Der Liveblog von Freitag zum Nachlesen.

". VluchtelingenWerk noemt het een zorgelijke ontwikkeling dat feiten in het migratiedebat niet alleen terzijde worden geschoven maar dat aantoonbare fabels steeds vaker tot beleidswijzigingen lijken te leiden."

Guided Combinatorial Algorithms for Submodular Maximization
For constrained, not necessarily monotone submodular maximization, guiding the measured continuous greedy algorithm with a local search algorithm currently obtains the state-of-the-art approximation factor of 0.401 \citep{buchbinder2023constrained}. These algorithms rely upon the multilinear extension and the Lovasz extension of a submodular set function. However, the state-of-the-art approximation factor of combinatorial algorithms has remained $1/e \approx 0.367$ \citep{buchbinder2014submodul…

A-fucking-men
While I get the “ it would be nice if this was a native app, with the native features that come with it“ my first question with a program is DOES IT RUN ON MY COMPUTER?
If it doesn’t, it really doesn’t fucking matter what it was written in, now does it? https://union.place/@angry_drunk/112…

3 Cowboys lessons from Mike McCarthy's comments at NFL owner meetings
Last week, Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy talked to reporters for over 40 minutes at the annual NFL meetings in Orlando, Florida, and discussed many topics pertaining to the team.  Among those, McCarthy discussed the team's top needs, the NFL Draft, and much more. But as usual, sometimes coaches say a lot without really saying much of value. However, after navigating through his answers, I've found three tangible lessons we can take away from the Cowboys head coach's comments. Let's d…

Despite the Ukraine aid vote, the neo-isolationist threat still looms
Is America back for good or only for now?
There is no way to answer that question with any degree of confidence.
And that, in turn, should give U.S. allies pause about whether they can still count on the United States.

While overwhelming majorities of both houses wound up backing aid to Ukraine,
narrow majorities of Republicans opposed the bill in the House
and in the first Senate vo…

Why U.S. aid to Ukraine is still in jeopardy
U.S. allies may be relieved by Congress’s action, but they’d be wise to keep strengthening their defenses, given Donald Trump’s possible election next fall.

I mitten av april angreps fattiga EU-migranter i Stockholm av maskerade svartklädda män, som "skrek, hotade och slog sönder deras skjul", enligt ETC.
Nu misshandlas antifascister på ett möte i en söderförort av maskerade svartklädda män.
Något säger mig att det inte tar slut där.

Standardizing the Measurement of Text Diversity: A Tool and a Comparative Analysis of Scores
The diversity across outputs generated by large language models shapes the perception of their quality and utility. Prompt leaks, templated answer structure, and canned responses across different interactions are readily noticed by people, but there is no standard score to measure this aspect of model behavior. In this work we empirically investigate diversity scores on English texts. We find that computationally efficient compression algorithms capture information similar to what is measured b…
