Europe has to start treating Trump 2.0 less as a threat and more as a prospective opportunity. With some vision and will, it can use this moment to pursue its own course: - sharper common decision-making - more common action for shared priorities - greater common resources behind that action

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

Dutch pension fund ABP has sold all its stock in Tesla, Meta and Alphabet as if found 'these companies no longer fit the fund's governance criteria' Context: ABP is the 9th largest public pension fund in the world, larger than @calpers.bsky.social and CalSTRS www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Tariffs are one thing, demand is quite another. www.dw.com/en/germany-t...

Much more important than the high price of eggs is the H5N1 "bird flu" virus that is causing it. With Trump's destruction of the CDC, we have no idea how it is evolving. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influen...

Now is the time to get things done. Swift European integration is the only viable answer to avoid getting sidelined. en.protothema.gr/2025/02/15/d...

Draghi: “The IMF estimates that Europe’s internal barriers are equivalent to a tariff of 45% for manufacturing and 110% for services. These effectively shrink the market in which European companies operate: trade across EU countries is less than half the level of trade across US states.”

Elon Musk is working to transform X, his social media platform, into a virtual wallet where people can send money to each other. Digital payment platforms have come under intense scrutiny by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but that is likely to ease.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Just in case we needed any more evidence that this was never about "government efficiency."

Hilarious: Google is a customer of joindeleteme.com I guess they know best why.

Me too... mango strawberry blueberry parfait. Me too.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

Until someone else succeeds in replicating such a low resource training regime as claimed by #DeepSeek, I will remain sceptical about these figures.

In arxiv.org/pdf/2501.09274 a standard LLM w/o fine tuning is used to successfully predict protein sequences fitter for certain purposes (not specified specifically!) by guiding mutations in an evolutionary optimisation. Are there universal patterns in statistical distributions of sequences? #MLSky

LLMs are very much like mirrors. They may be slightly warped and bent, but any dialog tells as much about the person interacting as about the topic being discussed.
