The fact that Orban is a supremacist pseudo-dictator fascist, doesn't necessarily make an almost-far-right guy a good guy. The dichotomic approach pro-EU vs non-EU is not enough to define an allegedly good candidate, presidency. Best of luck to all Hungarian socialists.

Language models transmit behavioural traits through hidden signals in data - Nature During model distillation, large language models can subtly transmit traits unrelated to the training data.

Large language models can teach other models unwanted traits, which can persist even when training data has been scrubbed of the original trait, according to research in Nature. In one example, a model seems to transmit a preference for owls to other models via hidden signals in data. 🧪

You know that Orban lost in front another right-wing nationalist, right? Softer and Eurofriendly, but right wing. It won't be any different option if some other king falls this year in the Middle East.

Repurposed drug may extend survival in aggressive ovarian cancer, trial shows Relacorilant, typically used to treat Cushing’s syndrome, could improve outcomes in platinum-resistant cases A drug originally used to treat a rare disease could extend the lives of patients with an aggressive form of ovarian cancer, according to a clinical trial.

I am very happy to be able to let you all know that the volume "Alterity and Human Evolution: Deep-Time and Multispecies Perspectives on Difference and Variation" has now been officially published by @berghahnbooks.bsky.social!
