Setok, 4 days ago to Eurovision

Oh, I just learnt that #Moroccanoil, the main sponsor of the #eurovision, is from #Israel.

Look, the song was OK, if nothing special, but coming a tight second in the televote (only just losing to #Croatia), and gaining the number one vote in countries like Finland is just really suspect.

I don’t necessarily mean bot votes, though it wouldn’t surprise me, but at least an orchestrated pro-Israel campaign.

I get...
Output:

Coreference chain 0: [it/its] -> "Israeli art collection"
Most specific mention: it

Substituted text:
The Israeli art collection of Phoenix Holdings is one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of the Israeli art collection's kind, on par with the collections of Israel’s major museums. The collection includes key works by many of the prominent artists who shaped the development of the Israeli art collection throughout the 20th century.

Coreference chain 1: [Israel/Israel's] -> "Israel"
Most specific mention: Israel

Substituted text (unchanged):
...

Note that there are two coreference chains here. For each chain, we print out the most specific mention and then replace every occurrence of a less-specific mention within this chain with the most specific one. We do not change any words outside these chains.

Here is my code so far:

Events after October 7 have helped me understand why the majority of people don't change their vote, even if Bart Simpson is running their party or the leaders are shown up to be mired in corruption.

Most voters don't vote for a party. They vote for a world view and if the world view of the other party seems so off the scale, no matter what their own lot get up to, they won't hold their nose and vote for the others.

Yet, October 7 brought another factor into the equation. For some it was survival. For others it was a motivated attack on their ethnic or religious identity. And for others it was just the moral instinct to identify and support the victim, which was being put to challenge by terrorist propaganda, progressive politicians and the United Nations.

For those that didn't have those reasons, they will have gone on supporting the same sold same old, and are now likely to be aligned by proxy with a reprehensible cause. That is why this situation is so dangerous.

After what happened yesterday in the local elections, I hope that people who wanted that Israel goes into general national elections now got finally a bath of reality.

OK... a nice list of LLMs...
No really correct, models listed as open source are not really open source with a couple of exceptions, they are open weight, but the code to produce them and the training materials are not public.
Especially funny is how Mistral AI sometimes reacts again the claims that they are open source (and sometimes even in an aggressive way)

I am looking for an opensource lip sync software with a license which allows to be used in the industry.
Somebody has an idea? (LipGAN is not an option since they use MatLab, what is a proprietary sofware).

The Legacy of Meir Kahane:

Kahane’s name is notorious in most Jewish circles, where his status as persona non grata has left many to shrug off his influence as a relic of a shameful past. But the reality is that Kahane’s legacy on Jewish communities has been profound, and not just in Israel. As Jewish Studies scholar Shaul Magid argues in his new book, Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish Radical, Kahane’s ideological legacy has had a lasting impact on Jewish self-conceptions, which is perhaps most salient in the diaspora.

News from Portugal:

'Cleansing the world of Jews': Porto housing protest turns antisemitic

During a demonstration against the rising cost of housing in the Portuguese city of Porto last Saturday, demonstrators brandished signs with antisemitic messages blaming Jews and Zionists for the economic crisis, according to Porto’s Jewish community.

The signs included antisemitic slogans and calls for the “cleansing the world of Jews.”

Do people have books they really like on post-capitalist economic systems? I'm not a capitalist realist, but I worry too much of what I advocate for is utopian socialism

I may be wrong, but #LLM stochastic parrots don't seem to be a useful tool for a research scholar in the #humanities. I can't see it doing anything novel or labour saving for me. Maybe write a first draft for an abstract? Which takes no time for me and only happens like five times a year?
