I've been really anxious about what would happen with the Dutch election tonight. I'm starting to relax and I hope things keep going the same way.
My kid was playing outside of one of the polling places in Amsterdam. Just before we left, I overheard someone say "Fuck Wilders." I'm glad the polling seems to reflect that sentiment.

Ich bin inhaltlich voll dabei, würde aber der Fairness halber sagen, dass man die Schuld dafür nicht allein bei der Bahn suchen sollte, sondern auch beim Verkehrsministerium und der fehlenden Strategie dort. Ich fand die letzte Folge der @… zu dem Thema sehr erhellend - man lässt die Bahn hier in einem Spannungsfeld operieren in dem sie nur verlieren kan…

We Think, Therefore We Align LLMs to Helpful, Harmless and Honest Before They Go Wrong
Alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) along multiple objectives-helpfulness, harmlessness, and honesty (HHH)-is critical for safe and reliable deployment. Prior work has used steering vector-small control signals injected into hidden states-to guide LLM outputs, typically via one-to-one (1-to-1) Transformer decoders. In this setting, optimizing a single alignment objective can inadvertently overwrite representations learned for other objectives, leading to catastrophic forgetting. More rece…

Schon zehnter Eingriff - Verengung festgestellt: Doskozil erneut operiert #News #Nachrichten

Some numpty has sprayed a St George's Cross on a white mini-roundabout in town. I hold my nose every time I go past. We've recently had a number of new families placed in the town - it became diverse literally over night and it's long long long overdue. It infuriates me to think that they might feel unwelcome because some arsehole overworks his brain cell and sprays symbols about. #ukpol…

Algorithmic Collective Action with Multiple Collectives
As learning systems increasingly influence everyday decisions, user-side steering via Algorithmic Collective Action (ACA)-coordinated changes to shared data-offers a complement to regulator-side policy and firm-side model design. Although real-world actions have been traditionally decentralized and fragmented into multiple collectives despite sharing overarching objectives-with each collective differing in size, strategy, and actionable goals, most of the ACA literature focused on single collec…
