So it sure looks like someone invented a fake Russian advance in Ukraine to manipulate the online gambling market Polymarket. Gamblers are making money by betting on the outcomes of battles big and small in the war. Edited map is run by DC-based think tank

I can finally share what I have been working on with Google! 🎉

I'm passionate about right-sizing AI to serve users (without destroying the planet). For most usecases, foundation models are like burning down your house to toast a marshmallow. Focused, efficient models that run locally and cost pennies instead of dollars are where it's at!

TLDR: Prototype big. Ship small.

"The number of women globally who commit violent crimes is very small – in 2021 they were responsible for just 10% of homicides. Indeed, women are far more likely to be victims than perpetrators. But when women do kill, in many cases the victim is a male partner or family member and there is a history of domestic abuse."

I don't think I've ever written an here. Now, I'm doing it elsewhere in the context of my research in the , so, also sharing it here:
I'm a technical researcher coming from , based in , Italy and with interest in multidisciplinary collaborations. Due to the shoot-in-the-foot nature of Italian politics (en.ilsole24ore.com/art/crui-ma), my (not yet tenure-track) 4-year collaboration with was suspended until further notice and I'm currently collaborating with the Minors on the Move project (prinminorsonthemove.wordpress., my role is interactive geomapping) on behalf of . Previously, I've worked on societal values (doi.org/10.46298/jdmdh.13120), Early Modern English (ceur-ws.org/Vol-3865/#02_paper), history of publishing (ceur-ws.org/Vol-3558/#paper774, ceur-ws.org/Vol-3937/#paper14) and Old Church Slavonic (ceur-ws.org/Vol-3937/#short8, ceur-ws.org/Vol-3246/#03_paper). Typically, I bring together expertise from usability and information awareness to develop new collaborative approaches to data exploration and technology dissemination.

A bit late for this, but might as well:

**I am recruiting PhD students this year**

I am looking for students with strengths in some subset of compilers, databases, e-graphs, SMT solvers, theorem proving, and logic programming. You definitely don't have to have mastery of all those things (I don't!), but there's a lot of fun work to do in the intersection.

A commentary from @kissane@mas.to:

Two years ago, I wrote at very great length about how this played out in Myanmar. It is so upsetting to see how many of the same dynamics are at work here now.

Never forget: At breakneck speed we are leaving the stable Holocene climate in which human society developed and thrived. Weather extremes are outside historical experience. Sea-level rise is accelerating. Dangerous tipping points are ahead.

This thing that 404 is writing about in the US—the dehumanizing fake content created purely because Facebook pays people to make it?

It has a direct precedent in the Myanmar genocide and has been widely reported on for years. Karen Hao's work on this is outstanding:
