Anne Rabe über Moral, die AfD und Ostalgie
Rechtsextreme lassen keine Gelegenheit aus, um Appelle für moralisches Handeln in der Politik in ein möglichst schlechtes Licht zu rücken. Warum verfängt das gerade bei einigen Menschen derart gut? Und was hat DDR-Ostalgie damit zu tun? Moralapostel, Moralpredigt, Moralin – Und warum kann die AfD mit diesen und ähnliche Narrativen gerade im Osten Deutschlands derart effektiv Menschen mobilisieren? Darüber spreche ich heute mit Anne Rabe. Sie ist Schriftstellerin und beschäftigt sich i…

Omar Fateh,
the son of Somali immigrants and a democratic socialist,
is a leading candidate in the mayoral race in Minneapolis
and seeking to unseat incumbent Jacob Frey.
Fateh made history in 2020 by becoming the first Muslim and first Somali American to be elected to Minnesota’s state Senate.
Fateh has run for mayor on a platform advocating for rent stabilization,
raising the minimum wage
and reforming how the city handles public safety.

Are artificial retinas merely an approach to recover sight, or are they a tool of augmented reality beyond natural eyes in blind people? https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/bst/advpub/0/advpub_2025.01341/_article

Are artificial retinas merely an approach to recover sight, or are they a tool of augmented reality beyond natural eyes in blind people?
Implantable artificial retinas have been a considerable technology to help blind people recover their sight. This topic has attracted increasing atten …

I donated a bit to Gary McCoy's campaign for District 8 supervisor in SF.
I'm hesitant to support merely "progressive" candidates since so many veer rightward after getting elected, like D8's current supe Mandelman, and recently D7 supe Melgar to a lesser degree.
But I really like Gary's platform, emphasizing non-police public safety programs; traffic calming as part of public safety; and pro-housing with emphasis on public investment, not just upzone an…

Facilitating Cognitive Accessibility with LLMs: A Multi-Task Approach to Easy-to-Read Text Generation
Simplifying complex texts is essential for ensuring equitable access to information, especially for individuals with cognitive impairments. The Easy-to-Read (ETR) initiative offers a framework for making content accessible to the neurodivergent population, but the manual creation of such texts remains time-consuming and resource-intensive. In this work, we investigate the potential of large language models (LLMs) to automate the generation of ETR content. To address the scarcity of aligned corp…

Advancing Automated Ethical Profiling in SE: a Zero-Shot Evaluation of LLM Reasoning
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into software engineering (SE) tools for tasks that extend beyond code synthesis, including judgment under uncertainty and reasoning in ethically significant contexts. We present a fully automated framework for assessing ethical reasoning capabilities across 16 LLMs in a zero-shot setting, using 30 real-world ethically charged scenarios. Each model is prompted to identify the most applicable ethical theory to an action, assess its moral a…

Has the Two-Decade-Old Prophecy Come True? Artificial Bad Intelligence Triggered by Merely a Single-Bit Flip in Large Language Models

Has the Two-Decade-Old Prophecy Come True? Artificial Bad Intelligence Triggered by Merely a Single-Bit Flip in Large Language Models
Recently, Bit-Flip Attack (BFA) has garnered widespread attention for its ability to compromise software system integrity remotely through hardware fault injection. With the widespread distillation and deployment of large language models (LLMs) into single file .gguf formats, their weight spaces have become exposed to an unprecedented hardware attack surface. This paper is the first to systematically discover and validate the existence of single-bit vulnerabilities in LLM weight files: in mains…

Mark Kelly thought he was merely stating the obvious.
Earlier this month, the Arizona senator joined five other congressional Democrats to film a message addressed to members of the military.
“You can refuse illegal orders.
You must refuse illegal orders,” they said.
An ordinary president, Kelly told us on Tuesday afternoon, would have responded to the video by affirming that troops should of course follow lawful orders.
“But not this guy,” he added.
“We b…

Inclusive Easy-to-Read Generation for Individuals with Cognitive Impairments
Ensuring accessibility for individuals with cognitive impairments is essential for autonomy, self-determination, and full citizenship. However, manual Easy-to-Read (ETR) text adaptations are slow, costly, and difficult to scale, limiting access to crucial information in healthcare, education, and civic life. AI-driven ETR generation offers a scalable solution but faces key challenges, including dataset scarcity, domain adaptation, and balancing lightweight learning of Large Language Models (LLM…

With the Washington DC mayoral field now wide open,
who will step into the race?
Recently, two names have been bandied about:
D.C. Council members Janeese Lewis George (D-Ward 4)
and Kenyan R. McDuffie (I-At Large).
Lewis George reportedly is on the cusp of launching a bid in the style of fellow democratic socialist and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

The D.C. mayoral race might include its own Mamdani-style candidacy
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser’s announcement was quiet. The campaign to replace her won’t be.
