Was teaching in Brussels the whole week and landed now in Helsinki for another talk tomorrow. First time in Hobo hotel, downtown Helsinki and it's very cool - very nice concept/design hotel.

Loved it how Bradley was laughing at Vini. He was enjoying it! And the quality and the desire of our team.. so-so good! Here we go again! #lfc #ynwa #livrma

We are back!! What a game.. Let's finish this! #lfc #YNWA #LIVRMA

We have reached peak "NATO expansion propaganda". Jeffrey Sachs claims he was personally told by someone he didn't meet that there was a broken promise to a person who says it wasn't made.

Aruannete kirjutamine on kõige tüütum siis, kui kõik on hästi, tuleb lihtsalt tekstipudru toota. Samas on kõik asi natuke liiga detailne, et tehisarule mäluda visata.

I really don't understand what it is that Slot is doing. What's the big idea in losing again and getting out of the Carabao Cup? Carabao may at this point be the only thing he could still win.

Tallinlased, vaprad mehed, karastuvad tules. Aga mõni saab ka viga ja tahab haiglasse minna.

Tervisi Pariisist! USA valimisi on olnud laivis parem jälgida, sest valimisrakendustes on piisavalt algandmeid alati olemas ja on saanud ajalehenurgal kiirelt trende modelleerida. Praegu on andmetega natuke segasem, aga tunduks justkui, et Kõlvart Tallinnas linnavalitsust ei tee.

Thank you! We are definitely more interested in societal impacts, but not necessarily dismissive of more practical papers as well.

Mis oht või hirm need erakoolid on. Mu lapsed õppisid erakoolis, aga mitte mingi elitismi tõttu vaid seetõttu, et erakoolidel on suurem vabadus erimudeliteks ja ka klassid on väiksemad. See ongi peamine põhjus, miks erakoolidesse minnakse. Kesklinnakoolid midagi sellist ei paku.

We published an interesting report. Many people have said it is the best report. I don't know, but this is what they say.

My very first academic article has now been published! Entitled "Film editors as chance-seekers", it combines theory and artistic research and is based on my 20-year career as a filmmaker and 10-year experience of teaching film editing. Read here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

RIO NGUMOHA! #newliv

Our defence is not good. Kerkez was good in Bournemouth, but in Liverpool, he is shaky both in defence and in attack. Need Robertson on the pitch. Konate is shaky, too. Worrisome in the longer term. #NEWLIV

Let us not the mistake where large countries are dividing Europe and selling out small countries/regions to dictatorial rule against their will.

Today 86 years ago Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union became allies and decided jointly to divide much of Eastern Europe between themselves: half of Poland to Germany, the Baltics, Bessarabia and Finland to the Soviets/Russia. Resulted in half a century of suffering for the Balts under Russia.

At Ristna beach, Hiiumaa. It may well be the last warm and sunny summer day in Estonia.

Audience is pretty close.. Well, the boats are big, speeds are high and crashes happen. Yesterday the US boat crashed into the GBR boat, destroying both.

Currently attending SailGP event at Sassnitz, Germany. SailGP is Formula1 of sailing. Only 5-year-old international series, based on innovations in foils, tech & data. Yesterday a new record was made - Danish team reached 103.9 km/h. Fascinating new sport/product. Media formats also well developed.

MoM: Ekitike. But happy for Chiesa.

Military support to Ukraine is more important than enlargement EU enlargement alone won’t bring peace or security to Ukraine. Without increased military support, Europe risks prolonging the war

The cost of helping Ukraine win is far lower than the price of a Russian victory. The EU has the means. What’s missing is the will.

New Ukraine suppport numbers from Kiel are out, in % of GDP!

Lots to say about this. But most of all:

Be like Denmark and Estonia, #fellas. Based!

Any way I can erase the blue cross in my 🇳🇴 passport, and get one from 🇩🇰?

Wow, ERR News (Estonian Public Broadcaster's English language edition) has translated my recent essay in Sirp into English. What I argued there was that Estonia would need to start preparing for multimodal AI models (I discuss LeCun's latent-space-based models, etc.). news.err.ee/1609762446/i...
