Hadden ze ons mooi tuk hè, bij @nrc.nl

Ze controleren de macht.

Wat dom dat wij dan van de 1e en/of 2e betekenis uitgingen, terwijl het stiekem om die àndere ging.

Geen woord gelogen dus….nu wij weer

Bo’s resting Bitch face: Good morning!

In the quiet before the storm Ma’am is demanding tummy scratches.

In a few moments all the children and their sleepover friends will wake and wreak havoc/spread joy.

We are both mentally preparing.

Frank Zappa Time photograph superimposed on work by Frank Kunert

www.instagram.com/p/BujCFSInYez
retro-style living room with green walls, wooden furniture, and a patterned rug with a cut out of a frank Zappa photo from Time magazine superimposed. Frank Zappa is wearing a tight purple t-shirt, and purple flared jeans. He is holding a cat in his arms and looking into the camera. he is placed slightly in front of a floor lamp with a bright yellow shade, slightly to the right of the center of the photograph. Above him,: on a small upper-level mezzanine floor with a railing, the door to a sky blue tiled bathroom is ajar, showing a toilet with its black lid opened. From the wooden underside of the mezzanine a large exposed drainpipe seems to be running from the toilet, feeding into back of a retro television in the room below. The image has an absurd, humorous atmosphere.

Morning!

This comment to an instagram post with the question:
“What is something in your life that you’ve AUTOMATED, that completely changed your life. I’m not talking about “my bills are on autopay”, I mean truly unhinged automatization”.

😂

How’s that for motivation?

Picked her up from summer camp.

After making sure everything is still in its place and everyone family member smelled healthy she plonked in her chair next to me with her ball next to her…

And she’s in a coma.

Yes…YES!

And it’s quite recent history as well.

It’s not just the tulip trade.
Whenever I'm critical of anything GenAl, without fail I get asked the same question. "do you think every major CEO could be wrong?" The answer to that is: yes. History is littered with examples of industry titans going nuts, losing more money than the GDP of an entire country, saying "lol, my bad", then finding something else to do.

Screenshot of publication with the title “Data-Efficient French Language Modeling with CamemBERTa” Nissam Antoun, Benoît Sagot, Djamé Seddah Abstract Recent advances in NLP have significantly improved the performance of language models on a variety of tasks. While these advances are largely driven by the availability of large amounts of data and computational power, they also benefit from the development of better training methods and architectures. In this paper, we introduce CamemBERTa, a French DeBERTa model that builds upon the DeBERTaV3 architecture and training objective. We evaluate our model's performance on a variety of French downstream tasks and datasets, including question answering, part-of-speech tagging, dependency parsing, named entity recognition, and the FLUE benchmark, aid compare against CamemBERT, the state-of-the-art monolingual model for French. Our results show that, given the same amount of training tokens, our model outperforms BERT-based models trained with MLM on most tasks. Furthermore, our new model reaches similar or superior performance on downstream tasks compared to CamemBERT, despite being trained on only 30% of its total number of input tokens. In addition to our experimental results, we also publicly release the weights and code implementation of CamemBERTa, making it the first publicly available DeBERTaV3 model outside of the original paper and the first openly available implementation of a DeBERTaV3 training objective.

There’s this guy on instagram who does reels on peonies a lot

And it’s cracking me up…

Can you spot why?

www.instagram.com/reel/DKUvZo9...
A muscular, shirtless man stands in a lush garden under a wooden arbor covered with hanging wisteria flowers. He is smiling and gesturing with his hands. The text on the image reads: “Peonies” and “NATURAL VS ALTERED.” At the bottom, it says “AS AN AMERICAN” with an eye icon and “6.3 M” indicating views. Various flowering plants, including lavender and peonies, are visible in the foreground.
