I would love to transition to using more Europe based AI, like Le Chat by Mistral, but in a few days of shadow using, it just performs worse. It hallucinates so much more than Gemini, Copilot and ChatGPT...

Personal pet peeve: people who put half their cv in their email footers. Especially popular among people at very high positions, who most certainly don't really need to show off.

Footers are for contact info, not for bragging.

Interesting how all people who appear in the E files have a statement, as soon as their names leak. No one seems to have the balls to give the statement before their names surface. Would look a bit stronger, but that tiny chance that you stay out of the spotlight....

Oh my gosh (excited Southerner noises) @happybusman.bsky.social @passeriform.bsky.social — y'all are my favorite people now. Y'all and my buddies down in FL who asked me a similar follow up on Discord.

De gewone, en dan met name de minder bedeelde en/of hulpbehoevende mens in Nederland mag de komende jaren de rekeningen gaan betalen. De dikke portemonnee blijft riant gevuld.

Met dit coalitieakkoord zou je bijna denken dat niet D66, maar toch weer de VVD de grootste is geworden in NL. Wat een blamage. We gaan verder waar we voor de PVV gebleven waren, kennelijk....

Look at this dream job! (If you're an American citizen)
New job opportunity at @stsci.edu: Senior Astronomical Data Scientist for data analysis tools, working closely with my team and me.

This role is very similar to mine. If you have questions, I'm happy to answer them. 🧪🔭

NEW: House Democratic Leaders Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar say in a joint statement, "Kristi Noem should be fired immediately, or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives."

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

Open Science also means that we must be open to new practitioners.
That reviewers must be a primary author on at least two publications accepted at ICML/ICLR/NeurIPS conferences makes the process very non-inclusive and results in an in-crowd nature of these conferences. I feel very itchy about this.

Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

Nee, @nieuws.nos.nl. Het is geen "gemiste Nobel". Dat er ook maar enigszins sprake zou zijn van die prijs leefde alleen in het hoofd van de dictator. Wat er nooit geweest is kun je ook niet missen.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

SENATE! What the actual....?! WTF are you thinking?! Even halfway decent GOP senators turn out to be absolute pussies.
Breaking news: The Senate blocked a bipartisan measure that aimed to prevent President Trump from taking further military action in Venezuela, after two Republicans withdrew their support under pressure from the administration.

Hi there, I would like to talk about paywalls

Today I had a rather large article drop in Slate and there was a soft paywall. A lot of people commented upset about that paywall

Let's talk about:

a) how to get around paywalls
b) why you shouldn't be mad about them
January 14, 2026 at 1:40 AM
Zijn deze aantallen serieus? Kun je dan niet net zo goed niks doen?

I am disappointed in the development of government formation in NL. I sincerely don't understand what gave VVD the right to be in the coalition, while being very excluding to other reasonable parties.
I bet they will try to, and succeed in getting the Ministry of Finance, and too little will change.
