I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says
FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

Eigentlich sollen bis 2026 kleine und mittlere Bahnhöfe #barrierefrei und moderner werden. Aktuell ist jedoch noch jeder fünfte Bahnhof nicht barrierefrei. Nach Kritik des Bundesrechnungshofes am #Verkehrsministerium soll eine Reform der #Förderprogramme das jetzt ändern.
Hunderte Millionen Fördergeld für barrierefreie Bahnhöfe ungenutzt
Jeder fünfte Bahnhof ist nicht barrierefrei – der Bundesrechnungshof übt scharfe Kritik am Verkehrsministerium.

falls jemand einen auffrischungskurs braucht: ich habe letztens genau beleuchtet, was palantir behauptet zu leisten, was es wahrscheinlich wirklich leistet und welche menschen dahinter stecken.

Ist Palantir-Software der Einstieg in den Überwachungsstaat?
Palantir verspricht, mit Hilfe von KI Verbrechen zu bekämpfen. Auch deutsche Behörden nutzen die Software, die als Mittel zur Totalüberwachung kritisiert wird.

ganz ehrlich nichtmal die bräuchte es? palantir gehört zu den wenigen überwachungstechnologien, die selbst außerhalb von fachmedien rauf und runter diskutiert werden. ich halte unwissen an dieser stelle für unglaubwürdig.
Strobl nennt Palantir ein 'Google für die Polizei' und ich frage mich, warum es wirklich keinerlei fachliche oder intellektuelle Kompetenz braucht, um für die Union Minister zu werden.

The attack on US academia is ideological and destructive, yes.

They’re not trying to improve higher ed, reform it, or do any of their flimsy excuses (uphold free speech on campus, combat antisemitism, etc). They’re trying to break it to satisfy a mix of cultural, political, and personal grievances.
I believe that some MAGA elites have seriously (and unrealistically) convinced themselves that they can actually shift the ideological complexion of academia; but for a lot of them I think the bullying and institutional vandalism are nihilistic ends in themselves
Judging from reactions on the other site, this probably will not appease the MAGA constituency

Why? Because it’s not about money

It’s that universities are “elite liberal institutions that need brought to their knees”

That means ideological change, not just a fine

Someone on here compared AI produced material as "digital asbestos " which in a few decades' time we will have to work out how to eradicate from the fabric of research.
From my own academic research, even pre LLMs there was a huge danger of zombie factoids that begin in a respectable publication by mistake and then get reprinted for decades because no one is backtracing to the original source. Once bad info gets into the system it can take years to clear it out.
I've seen numerous examples of this in recent days - we're at a point where some reporters are using LLMs as a source and not even remotely properly factchecking, but also where LLM generated material is making its way into other material and being unknowingly reproduced by others.

OK- here we go. Sorry for the delay, I was not prepared for the exertion required in the thrill-a-minute adventure that is… CACAO FERMENTATION.

Yes, this will actually take 5 days. After that two days of drying. I’m not making this up. Nothing happens. Really. You’ll see.

Anyway, off we go!

Amazing video—though it took me a while to find its actual source. It's republished from a video on Instagram that this person linked to—but the Instagram account stole it from the actual creator on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@jonas_sjv/v... And naturally, the original creator's account/name got erased.

I’m re-reading Sagan’s PALE BLUE DOT and I’m at the chapter where he talks about how he had to convince NASA to take the image. There was no scientific value in taking an image of Earth from that distance, but he knew such an image would be invaluable to us as a society.

Nach ihrem Fehler im EM-Halbfinale machen viele Sydney Lohmann heftige Vorwürfe. Doch kein misslungener Pass, kein Foul, kein verschossener Elfmeter dürfen dazu führen, dass eine Spielerin Hass und Hetze ausgesetzt ist. Schlimm genug, dass man das immer und immer wieder betonen muss.

Nach dem Halbfinal-Aus ist Sydney Lohmann in den sozialen Medien heftigen Vorwürfen ausgesetzt. Dabei rechtfertigt kein Fehler solche Kommentare – das sollte endlich klar sein.
