arXiv is trying to further crack down on AI-generated articles: https://bsky.app/profile/tdietterich.bsky.social/post/3mlqt6k5ix22p

Stopping the system fans to heat up the system to shift clock phase by a few femtoseconds is one of the less hinged ideas I’ve seen come out of CERN lol.

(AFAIU this was an experiment for a software retrofit to hardware otherwise incapable of such adjustments)

I'm just glad that my faith in humanity isn't alive to see any of this.
So Prince Harry writes an article titled "My fears for a divided kingdom" with the subtitle "We must stand against both anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim hate."

But the BBC headline? "Harry warns of 'deeply troubling' rise in antisemitism in UK."

Notice what got cut? The Islamophobia. The subtitle. The line where Harry writes: "anti-Muslim hatred and all forms of racism draw from the same well of division. They must be confronted with the same resolve."

Harry's original piece explicitly rejects hierarchy among forms of hatred. He writes: "When anger is turned toward communities – whether Jewish, Muslim, or any other – it ceases to be a call for justice."

Yet the BBC framing created the very imbalance he warned against. His words got filtered through a lens that prioritised one form of bigotry over another, even when the source material demanded equal treatment.

Compare it to the BBC coverage: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8xw55q0elvo

This isn't about diminishing antisemitism. It's about exposing how the establishment's selective attention distorts even messages meant to promote unity. When the BBC chooses which suffering to amplify, they're not just reporting, they're shaping the hierarchy.

All bigotry deserves equal condemnation. Not just when it fits the narrative.

J'apprends avec stupéfaction que 7% des demandes d'accès (stagiaires, CDD, etc) au CNRS ont été refusées en 2024.

Les réquisitions du parquet contre Sarkozy pour son procès en appel ont fait 1min58 au 20h de TF1 ce soir. L'avocat de la partie civile a eu 10 secondes en fin de sujet pour s'exprimer. La chaîne du groupe Bouygues, dont l'actionnaire principal est le parrain du fiston de Sarko, Louis, qui l'emploie comme chroniqueur sur LCI.

"Google didn’t demand iPhone users install Google software to pass the test. Only Android users who refuse Play Services get locked out."

Google est en train d'interdire aux utilisateurs d'un téléphone Android dégooglisé d'accéder aux pages qui ont intégré son fameux "captcha" ("cliquez sur les motos...").

Pour les autres, les googlisés, c'est un formidable outil de pistage qui est mis en place.
