Nearly one in three people with disabilities (28%) reported experiencing discrimination, compared to fewer than one in five without disabilities (17%).
Geschlechtsspezifische Diskriminierung:
Women reported suffering gender-based discrimination at more than double the rate of men.
Ganz besonders trifft es die besonders armen Menschen
Discrimination also hits hardest in the poorest households, perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality.
Jüngere Menschen werden häufiger wegen Herkunft, Ethnie, Religion und sexueller Orientierung diskriminiert. Ältere wegen Alter, Behinderung, Gesundheitszustand.
»Age influences the types of discrimination people experience. Younger people (aged 15-29) more commonly report discrimination based on migration status, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation, while older people (aged 60+) face discrimination primarily based on age, disability, and health status.«
Menschenrechtsaktivisten, Journalisten und Gewerkschafter werden häufiger angegriffen. Im Schnitt wird mindestens einer von ihnen alle 14h getötet, oder erleidet gewaltsames verschwinden.

Why Write Software? Because you can and because it is fun.
What is Software?
It is math; it is machinery; it is ideation made concrete. Unless printed ("hardcopy") it exists only as patterns of light/electrons/magnetism and human thought.
Crucially, the "marginal cost" to duplicate such a pattern, once written, is so close to zero as to be effectively immeasurable.
I've been doing it for a quarter of a century and I'm barely competent. The vast majority of the people I've worked with who were paid to write software were worse (often much worse) than I am. Only a handful of people are capable of writing good software.
The right piece of code at the right time and place can make (or save) lots of money. It so happens that the person who wrote that code will not receive any of the value created in the vast majority of cases. Only Bill Gates and a handful of other have been so lucky as to make anything like the value of a given piece of code. Most of us programmers are doomed to never see the true value of our software in any direct "bottom-line" way.
I figured this out long ago: no single company could ever pay me what I'm actually worth. They don't even try.
It occurred to me that the only way to efficiently benefit from my coding activities would be to give away the software and just enjoy the general economic benefits that would accrue to the whole of world society.
In the event, my idea has proven to be naive. The wealthy and powerful can take better advantage of the tech than the poor masses, and so (with some exceptions) most of the global elite are taking the gains and keeping them. I don't know what, if anything, to do about that.
I'm still going to give away my software for free, and under Free license, because it feels venal to charge people for copies of already-written software. It no longer feels like an important political consideration. The vast majority of people seem content to be serfs under the total control of one or more technology corporations. They complain and keep using the stuff. Again, I don't know what, if anything, to do about it.

MoE models activate few experts per token but suffer from workload imbalance, causing inefficiency in multi-device systems. Mixture of Grouped Experts solves this by:
Grouping experts and forcing tokens to activate an equal number per group
Inherently balancing compute load across devices
Boosting throughput (especially for inference) by eliminating bottlenecks
MoGE retains MoE's parameter efficiency while enabling optimal hardware utilization.
The surgence of Mixture of Experts (MoE) in Large Language Models promises a small price of execution cost for a much larger model parameter count and learning capacity, because only a small fraction of parameters are activated for each input token.

Depuis 1975, les prises de poisson ont diminué en Europe, poussant les flottilles à chercher ailleurs, notamment dans l'océan Indien. Daniel Pauly, chercheur de renommée mondiale explique que la France ne possède plus que 10% de ses ressources halieutiques d'autrefois. Une situation qui pose question sur les accords maritimes et la pêche idustrielle.

We have an idea now of who the #Zionist entity and the #US might try to replace the #government of #Iran with in their #RegimeChange operation. Reza Pahlavi. They're seriously considering restoring the Shah #regime by force.
Every single #HumanRights issue the #West claims to care about in Iran, #Pahlavi is far, far worse on. He wants to overthrow the government and become absolute monarch. But he's a Western and Israeli ally, and that's all they care about.
lets be very specific about what kind of monarch baby shah would be. He will bring back the mossad-administrated torture prisons that the Iranians, like many people across MENA, are too familiar with. Baby shah has lived his life in a western bubble. If the zionist carpet bomb half the country, any Iranian left will still spit in the face of baby shah. He's no iranian, he's just more zionist trash. He misses the days where Iran would posture like a super power and send its children to Africa to die for western hegemony. Make CENTO Great Again!
How old is Cori? Will the NYT podcast The Protocol change minds? Is there any competence in the Trump administration? Why is Nina’s cat pooping on the floor? These questions and more are asked, but not entirely answered, as we move in and out of the fetal position, name-drop various GC power players, and read aloud comments from another podcast’s subreddit.
Important note: Cori is COMPLETELY WRONG about last week’s timeline: Nina wrote about her cat 2 days after we recorded last time. Is his muddled thinking a symptom of estrogen withdrawal, or turning 50? SO MANY QUESTIONS
Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers developed an ultra-high parallel optical computing integrated chip in Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics.
The chip is capable of delivering a theoretical peak computing power of 2560 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) at a 50 GHz optical clock speed.
The researchers used soliton microcomb sources, providing over 100 wavelength channels for information interaction and computation.

hospital was not directly hit, according to Israeli media themselves. The hospital was placed next to intelligence facility, IDF's C4I building. The damage to the hospital was from the shockwave of the missile. Don't believe me, look at the pictures yourself. You see no missile hit to the hospital. The IOF is just using this as an excuse for the *next* Iranian hospital they actually target.
One single drug grow operation is more than 250 acres
All taking place in California with “illegal employment running rampant.” There is no way California Democrats didn’t know about this
“The DEA says these grows are not only on federal land, but they're not controlled and they're operating outside of the law — oftentimes illegal employment is also rampant
Crime follows crime. So in order to get these criminal grows productive, they have to reach out to undocumented workers in order to get it done”
“They're going to have to figure out how that drug was being grown, which pesticides were being used, how it was making its way into the communities and onto the market”
I'm pretty impressed by whoever convinced Trump that it was Iran that tried to kill him, and not that Democrats that were openly calling for violence against him for years...
Their intention in Iran was obvious: start a war they had no means of finishing and obligate the USA to come in on their side.
They cannot invade and conquer Iran and they do not have the bombs that can hit the primary targets there. Therefore they have no way to actually win that war, aside from using nukes.
Israel is getting itself overextended and has already burned most of its international support. The USA is the main thing they have left.

Finally got round to listening to "Who broke the internet?" from CBC / @pluralistic - really makes it clear why the internet that he and may others including myself grew up with is a big old POS now. Give it a listen...
Of course it matters. But also who you define as "us" matters. Is "us" We The People or a political ruling class?
In an analogy, it is like saying the neighbor who I think has stupid beliefs should not be allowed to own a rifle because he is not in alliance with me.
Of course he can own a rifle, even if I think his beliefs are stupid or wrong.
I think you may want to have a chat with the American intelligence agencies and set them straight, as that's what they've been doing for the last 70 years or so.
Also, I am not saying that we should fund Iran having a nuclear weapon... but why did we give so much money to Israel for their defenses. They do not always have our best interests in mind.
Each individual and each nation has the ability to defend itself. If nuclear weapons are real, then even nations we disagree with will desire to acquire them and eventually will... just like guns.
To deny this, is to deny the self determination of others.
Be prepared to defend yourself. If Iran uses a nuclear weapon, then the US and Israel could completely wipe them out using the nukes we are supposed to have.
The "Iran is just a few [unit of time] from getting a nuclear weapon" is as terrible reasoning as the "weapons of mass destruction" that got us into Iraq.
The United States is dangerously close to entering yet another war in the Middle East. But this one has the potential to be a lot costlier for the American p...

Yes. Musk abuses and bastardizes the true meaning and history. It’s a dangerous and toxic effect malignant narcissists like him and Trump have on people and reality. Many souls will never recover.
My friend sent me this from Victoria, and I was equal parts relieved and disappointed to learn that this is a band and not an actual company.

trumps hands are all over this. His ego is so huge, he cannot ever admit that he’s wrong, and he cannot tolerate being corrected or questioned. Most likely his isreal puppet masters are sending messages
I would love to use only Onlyoffice but it's still not very compatible with Microsoft Office, especially with multimedia-rich documents. This is a problem when you share documents with MS Office users, for example, when submitting a school assignment. And the PDF editor still changes fonts. It's not perfect but it's improving.
I hope the compatibility issue gets solved but I don't think it would happen too soon since no one has figured out how.
