Jung, links, propalästinensisch – und am wenigsten antisemitisch


Eine neue Studie der Uni Mannheim zeigt: Der Antisemitismus-Vorwurf gegen linke Studierende geht »an den Tatsachen vorbei«. Zwischen propalästinensischen Einstellungen und Antisemitimus bestehe kaum ein Zusammenhang.

Hey, they did it! People have known for a long time that in 4 dimensions you can pack equal-sized balls so that each touches 24 others. In 2008 someone showed that's the best you can do. But in April this year, three mathematicians showed there's essentially just 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑦 you can accomplish this!

This way is easy to describe. Take the points whose coordinates are all integers, together with those whose coordinates are all integers plus 1/2. Use each of these points as the center of a ball of radius 1/2. Then each ball touches 24 others. This pattern is called the 𝗗𝟰 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲.

The new result shows that if you pack equal-sized balls in 4 dimensions so that each touches 24 others, you're 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑑 to create a version of the D4 lattice - possibly rotated, translated and/or rescaled.

This sort of thing is hard to show: it took a lot of fancy math and two weeks of calculation on a standard desktop computer. I believe only other dimensions where we know a result like this are 1, 2, 8 and 24. In dimension 3 it's just false: you can pack equal-sized balls so that each touches 12 others, and this is the best you can do, but there are uncountably many different ways to do it!

Optimality and uniqueness of the $D_4$ root system

We prove that the $D_4$ root system (the set of vertices of the regular $24$-cell) is the unique optimal kissing configuration in $\mathbb R^4$, and is an optimal spherical code.

We've spent decades trying different things to counter our rising domestic extremism problem. Good news: We've finally found a strategy that seems to work. thestar.com/opinion/contributo…

Justin Ling: This Toronto team knows how to talk down extremists. Their secret tactic might surprise you

Canadian agencies like Yorktown Family Services in Toronto have developed proven tactics for de-radicalizing youth. We need to build on those breakthroughs, write Justin Ling, not let them waste away.

I'm a little puzzled at the salience that is being given to the Apple conclusions on #LLM #reasoning when we have lots of prior art. For example: LLMs cannot correctly infer a is b, if their corpora only contain b is a. #Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2309.12288

#AI #MachineLearning #logic


The Reversal Curse: LLMs trained on "A is B" fail to learn "B is A"

We expose a surprising failure of generalization in auto-regressive large language models (LLMs). If a model is trained on a sentence of the form "A is B", it will not automatically generalize to the reverse direction "B is A".

Remember this? Where ministers belonging to the biggest party in government were hellbent on deporting a sick child before his application could be approved but their coalition partners effectively vetoed it meaning the kid and his family got asylum?

ruv.is/english/2024-10-09-yaza…

Well, it’s looking like this pissed that party’s MPs off to such an extent that the government has collapsed, meaning we’re about to have an election about the same time as the Americans.


Yazan and family receive asylum in Iceland - RÚV.is

Yazan Tamimi and his parents received asylum in Iceland yesterday. Last month they were scheduled to be forcibly removed to Spain, but the Minister of Justice stopped the deportation after an intervention by the Minister of Social Affairs.

Hab grad die Band "ok.danke.tschüss entdeckt. Echt hörenswert. Aufgefallen sind sie mir, weil Ohrfunk.de das hier gespielt hat: youtu.be/koGaUwyp7DA?si=XRLnaL… Und dann hab ich noch einige tolle Songs mehr gefunden, wie "Soldat", "das neue Normal" oder verrückt... Reinhören lohnt sich meiner Meinung nach!

The last time I made a video about #Ableton, it was to do with Note, their iOS music-making app.
This video is an Ableton-first, in which I bring you their newest piece of hardware, #AbletonMove.
It ships with a web-based screen-reader and I've been enjoying it for many months.
It uses sounds from Note, but in a hardware form.
32 poly-aftertouch pads, four tracks of midi (or samples,) 8 knobs, USB-C for power and controlling Ableton Live and a USB-A port for connecting class-compliant midi devices, should you wish to trigger it from a keyboard.

Please be advised that screen-reader support is currently an experimental feature and is not fully fleshed out.
Not all aspects of the experience are as desired and there are a few kinks, but it is very much better than nothing whatsoever, and I am extremely thankful to the team that made this possible.

Ableton themselves are not talking about this screen-reader function in any of their literature, but I think it's important enough that it deserves recognition, and to bring an accessible groove-box to blind people in this way.

I just remembered this amateur music recording project that I was part of early in the pandemic, a cover of "We Are the Champions" by Queen: youtube.com/watch?v=Iq_25V5aLB… We all recorded our parts at home, then someone mixed it together. My voice is the first one. Note: There are about 10 seconds of silence at the beginning.

Yes, this kind of virtual collaboration has been done many times before, and often better. But I was part of this one.

jo, váhal jsem, jaké české punkové album a jaké od znouzecnosti, a bude to tohle, protože bylo první od nich, které jsem měl na CD a ne na kazetě a fakt mi ovlivnilo 🙂

takže překryv mít budeme, světový punk bude asi zastoupen něčím od Ramones (i když je neposlouchám už 30 let)

ale z jiného soudku: proč se mi to syncuje tady u Pirátů a ne na f.cz? 🤔

ne, určitě neblokuju, taky tuhle hru hrajeme (i když já sám ne tak úplně podle pravidel - dávám komentáře a odkazy na youtube, místo fotek obalů)

Králičí díra v tomhle sahá někam hluboko, protože když jsem si explicitně vyžádal tenhle status, hodilo mi to Error 500... že by nekompatibilita mezi backendy verzí 4.2.x a 4.3.x? Pokus o restart sidekiq a webu skončil tím, že to už nenaběhlo, takže jsem rebootl komplet VPS... a ejhle, status se adresovat dá a dokonce jsem ho boostnul.
