Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly.
And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

Ok, so they remove the DEI committee, and replace it with an ad-hoc committee, which just is not called DEI but maybe somehow should do the same? What exactly is changing? The part I find most questionable is to "be sunsetting [...] its related statements". Why do you feel the need specify that?

I think another equally important question is whether European NATO countries can guarantee their own security without Ukraine on their side in the future.

Here’s a story with some numbers. The proposed cuts are unfathomable: a 60% reduction to NSF would be the end of American science as we know it.

China baut gigantischen 16 GWh #Batteriespeicher, der rechnerisch 🇩🇪 rund 1/3h mit Strom versorgen könnte, für rund 1 Mrd.€. Nicht teuer. Wir jammern lieber über die #Dunkeflauteund die dumme #Energiewende. So wird das nix mit der Technologieführerschaft.

This is the first time I am writing something a bit longer, so please let me know what you think. I was seriously considering splitting this into three parts, but hey, maybe someone enjoys this :)
LLM-ify me - Optimization edition

Good idea. Done.
Academics wanting to 'verify' their Bluesky profile as genuine might give an ORCID identifier in their profile and link back to their Bluesky profile from ORCID.

This alone is reason enough to quit X. Elon Musk is once again mocking Ukraine’s struggle to fight the Russian invasion. Terrible.
