My daughter just came up with a great exercise: challenge your students to find the title of your PhD using ONLY LLMs (no Google allowed). If any of them manage, they get gummy bears 😃 I asked five different models, and got five different answers, all five […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

Friday’s VOA TV broadcast in Farsi is going out right now on a satellite transponder beaming to Iran. It's a repeat of yesterday’s news program because all remaining VOA staff deactivated a few hours ago.

I’m hearing some at VOA who went outside for a mid-morning break to make a cell phone call or to smoke had their badges immediately deactivated and can’t get back in to the Cohen Federal Building.

@Jonas_Bostrom @jon And while the Flirt with diesel generators are technically interesting https://mastodon.social/@sebwilken/114711838241038799 I would rather have a pure electrical regional stock with less dead weight and better acceleration and space all the way to Steinkjer and Røros

@Jonas_Bostrom @jon Any time soon we will have electrified all the way to Sweden (and the Stjørdal)! Unfortunately someone haven't invested in enough rolling stock etc to to have routes available on day one. I would very much liked to have night train from Trondheim to Stockholm/Gothenborg

@jon @Jonas_Bostrom Maybe you will have this train driver on the locomotive: https://www.adressa.no/debatt/i/rP6pwl/norske-tog-gjoer-ingenting-for-aa-loese-krisen (translate from Norwegian in your favorite translator) The train drivers and personell seems generally not pleased with the situation

It's time to head south again, but this time on the Norwegian side - but between Narvik and Bodø or Fauske there is no train. So it's onto two buses first of all and then - if there are enough locomotives running! - a train south via Trondheim to Oslo. Testing the Norwegian airline style "beds".

As temporary replacement for a proper bike carriage we have an old couchette carriage that was transformed in… yes a hospital train! The patient beds are water proof, there are 2 private sets and the rest is in a wide open hall of 6 beds. There is a large door […] [Original post on blahaj.social]

@tchambers very clear list and agreee on all of them. I hope most of those will be fixed on Mastodon by the end of the year (at least that’s the plan). #3 is still one that I don’t have many doable ideas on how to fix properly 😞
