I am about to hand in my Master's thesis in Machine learning. While working on it, the Trump castastrophe has been developing in full motion, and I feel that I don't have any vocabulary to really understand it. Any recommendations for political science theory that I could read post graduatum?

Is it good? Just found it online and so far enjoying the intro. Should I buy a printed copy?

Yeah, I am now on the train back from London, and I have to say that the check-in process in London was complete chaos. I had to walk a good 500m in the queue. The waiting room was also way too crowded and did not have enough seats.

Oh, I am so sorry for that. Do you know if it's possible to correct the post? Or should I have to take it down all together?

The castles have been swapped for colleges, but apart from that, Cambridge offers pretty much the same visuals as Brussels

First day of Cambridge Ellis summer school on probabilistic ML done. Really great presentations on state of the art methods in Bayesian ML, by Mike Tipping @tikemipping.bsky.social, Carl Rasmussen, Jihao Andreas Lin, Chris Nemeth @chris-nemeth.bsky.social

Travelling with Eurostar from Brussels to London at 300 km/h is an absolutely amazing experience. But what's the point of all that speed when you anyway have to check in an hour before departure?

Overnight stop in Brussels before heading to a summer school on Probabilistic Machine Learning in the UK. The royal palace here makes my tiny hotel room look even more humble.

📌 Great! I'll save this one for later!

I especially enjoyed the presentations about small language models, which seems to be the relevant choice for downstream tasks in industry implementations.

Also thanks to organizers @annarogers.bsky.social and @delliott.bsky.social.

Just got home from the Copenhagen NLP Symposium at the Danish Workers museum. Thanks to Loubna Ben Allal, Yohei Oseki, Kyle Lo @kylelo.bsky.social , Marzieh Fadaee @mziizm.bsky.social, and Najoung Kim who delivered some great presentations.

Uh... I could think of so many confounding variables here. But interesting nevertheless. Please keep posting if you find any related resutls.

Yay!

I have been accepted for the Cambridge Ellis Unit Summer School on Probabilistic Machine Learning 2025 this summer 🥳!

I plan to stay in Cambridge for a few days before/after the school. Does anyone have any tips or tricks that I should know of?

Great work! Saving for later 📌

Not quite thje same, but we (the Danish) have this cool wheel with wings. It is placed in front of the Copenhagen Central Station.

Share the link please! I want to do my own research 😜

I've been adulting a lot for the past few weeks. Now I've chosen the Mosasaurus and gone for a swim 🏄‍♂️

I have sort of given up on proactively updating the Danish Machine Learning Peoples starter pack. If anyone thinks that they should be added or know someone who should, please don't hesitate to comment here or sent a message 🤗.

Reciprocal Tariff Calculations Executive Summary Reciprocal tariffs are calculated as the tariff rate necessary to balance bilateral trade deficits between the U.S. and each of our trading partners. This calculation assumes that pe...

To be fair, I just found this writeup from the US Trade Representative detailing their argument: ustr.gov/issue-areas/...

While the tariffs are promoted as countermeasures to foreign tariffs, the size of the tariffs are not related to these tariffs, but by the formula (imports - exports)/imports per country. A rather random number...

Sorry, that was not very clear. The US government is imposing some rather draconian tariffs on imports from all over the world.

Jeez, you can't make this stuff up:

HA HA HA 🤣
Great joke!

This is not per se an answer to your question, but I have a feeling that I could use some more/better curated feeds. I don't get much ML-related stuff, although 95% of my follows are ML-folks. I do see a lot of Trump-haters (Popular with Friends) and post from news sites (Following).

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.

So, best we share all the footage we can here!

This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

Ja. Jeg havde aldrig troet at jeg skulle sige det her: Vi må investere massivt i europæisk militærindustri!

This thing here is what the internet could do in the early 0's before the era of shittification took over.

Weird ass stuff that some geek in another corner of the world has taken their time to compile for my personal enjoyment. Whats not to like.
