Nice presenter elements - drawing attention from slide 0, and offering a podcast of the paper. Interesting work too, trying to get more grip on chunking vs RAG in evaluation.

View from the Qwant headquarters, where we meet to discuss the route to European sovereignty in search.
Very exciting (even if missing out on the chance to join the uni strike in Nijmegen today - luckily many colleagues do).

Den Haag vandaag, misschien wel 25000 mensen.
Studeren is een recht!
Geen privilege!
Veel collega's gezien, Radboud rode hoodies mooi herkenbaar.
Mooi om eensgezind "DOE HET NIET" te scanderen. De bella ciao protestsong kwam er ook wonderbaarlijk mooi uit […]

Quite a few students went to Utrecht after all, to raise their voices, with lovely signs too. 🟥
"De groete met je boete" 😁

Staff all throughout the NL organised walk-outs, Eg this photo from Nijmegen (I wasn't there myself btw). I love the sign "geen beetje Duits, Frans" that reflects ties a popular Dutch song to the budget cuts that already caused study programmes being removed from Faculties of Arts in NL.
