@waarneming.nl ik probeer een waarneming van een aziatische hoornaar door te geven maar aldus uw meldingssysteem werd het als "ladybird spider" herkent. Daar gaat iets mis want het was een zwart gele/oranje wesp en geen spin met rood en wit.

Het is bekend we mogen in Nederland 29 oktober weer naar de stembus. Vrije verkiezingen als fundament van de democratische rechtstaat. Maar hoe vrij van buitenlandse invloeden is onze democratie? Ik bespreek de uitdagingen die Nederland te wachten staan. www.nederlandrechtsstaat.nl/zijn-we-klaa...

Zijn we klaar om ook digitaal ‘vrije verkiezingen’ te beschermen?
Het staat vast, na de val van het kabinet op 3 juni vinden op 29 oktober de verkiezingen plaats voor de Tweede Kamer. Verschillende politiek commentatoren stelden vast dat na 3 juni diverse partijen…

What is it that makes protests in the US seem to escalate this quickly and fervently throughout history? Why is the National Guard deployed in the ICE Protests? #LosAngeles #Protests #NationalGuard #ICE

The Dutch government fell after #Wilders pulled the plug because "there is no guarantee, that his laws on asylumn will pass in the Tweede Kamer (House of Commons)". So boiling it down - because Wilders is not allowed to dictate the general vote he is pulling out www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

In Poland the rightwing candidate won the elections. It was a very narrow result with 1.7% difference. Unfortunately it looks like Poland will be heading for a anti-EU course rather than unity and cooperation in a time where many threaten peace. #Poland #Election www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

📣Blog post: Adjudicating an Algorithm. It is difficult to adjudicate an algorithm, the Dutch College for Human Rights however has found Facebook's algorithm to be discriminatory. In this blog I discuss the facts of the case and the impact on future cases. www.europeanlawblog.eu/pub/17x7mx0o...

Adjudicating a discriminatory algorithm

Should we see the new #tariff announcement by #Trump as an intention to conquer #France as well? Champagne comes from the #Champagne region in France - so if he wants champagne to be produced in the US, he needs to conquer the Champagne region......otherwise it is "sparkling wine"

Can someone explain to me what #Trump means with "E.U. Represented countries". Does he mean Member States or including those who have an agreement with the EU? Or just any country outside of the US?

A bit late, but did I hear #Vance say "Putin invaded Ukraine" (1:14). I thought that #Trump and the #US said it was #Ukraine that invaded #Russia. Are they unsure about what happened or just changing their minds real quickly? www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMNA...

In the US #Trump is destroying further education, in the Netherlands the #PVV government is cutting funding for academic education. Leading to overworked, underfunded and uncertain academic jobs. Almost as if some leaders do not wish people to be educated and potentially disagree with them.

To be fair #Trump did tell #NATO nations to increase their military budgets. Is it his fault that NATO didn't expect the threat to com from the US? (sarcasm) #Greenland #Denmark #US #digitalart #aiart

Today the Chinese #NewYear of the #Snake has started. A world where #Trump 's US has taken a dip due the much cheaper #DeepSeek. The chips of needed are less complicated than those needed for #ChatGPT. At the same time this article appeared on #quantumcomputing theconversation.com/2025-will-se...

2025 will see huge advances in quantum computing. So what is a quantum chip and how does it work?
You’ll be hearing a lot about quantum computing in 2025. Here’s where the field is at – and where it’s all going.

Once the internet was the promise of free speech and open interactions. Now it is ruled by algorithms. And as Verheyden states in his article the algorithms are ruled by men afraid of "tampons". Whereby anyone who is different is scary. www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20... #Trump #Data #Musk #Deepseek

The plane engines have bird residue on them. Same fact for everyone, different blame game... Facts don't change, but our interpretation differs. Let's not confuse facts, which are rarely observable, with interpretation - which is always subjective. And that is a fact! #plane #AI #art #digitalart

The new AI model created in China has decreased stock market value of chip producers such as the Dutch ASML. I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I don't see how the new Chinese version is better than ChatGPT... #DeepSeek #AI #ChatGPT #Computerchips
