“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

Unbiased Binning: Fairness-aware Attribute Representation
Discretizing raw features into bucketized attribute representations is a popular step before sharing a dataset. It is, however, evident that this step can cause significant bias in data and amplify unfairness in downstream tasks. In this paper, we address this issue by introducing the unbiased binning problem that, given an attribute to bucketize, finds its closest discretization to equal-size binning that satisfies group parity across different buckets. Defining a small set of boundary candi…

Deputy Attorney General Blanche in video:
"I expect that we're going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks."
This is a violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Smells like more of a coverup
Here's the LAW:

Blanche on Epstein files: "Today is the 30 days. I expect we're going to release several hundred thousand documents today, and those documents will come in all different forms -- photographs ... just so everybody appreciates -- President Trump has said for years that he wants full transparency ... now, the most important thing that the AG has talked about, that Director Patel has talked about, is that we protect victims. We are looking at every single piece of paper that we are going to produc…

French President Emmanuel Macron criticizes the EU for being too slow to act on probes into Big Tech companies, attributing the delay to US pressure against DSA (Politico)

Macron says Brussels is ‘afraid’ of tackling US Big Tech
An “American offensive” has cowed the European Commission and some EU capitals, French president complains.

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?
This is a sign for how fucking atrophied our mental muscles are. How limited our space for thinking about how things should be.
You want to democratize "going to therapy&quot…

Backdoor Attribution: Elucidating and Controlling Backdoor in Language Models
Fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) are vulnerable to backdoor attacks through data poisoning, yet the internal mechanisms governing these attacks remain a black box. Previous research on interpretability for LLM safety tends to focus on alignment, jailbreak, and hallucination, but overlooks backdoor mechanisms, making it difficult to understand and fully eliminate the backdoor threat. In this paper, aiming to bridge this gap, we explore the interpretable mechanisms of LLM backdoors through…

This is attributed to H.G. Wells:
'The work of woman in prehistoric communities, when carefully analyzed from the fossils with which archaeology, folklore, and philology provide us, assumes somewhat large proportions as compared with the work of men. '
