@VVFriedman Remember the Bubbelle dress by Philips Design? The lights changed colour with skin contact, reflecting the emotions of the wearer...

@FlorinBilbiie @florianederer Isn’t he Swiss?

@NidaKirmani We need to go back to oral exams. That's the only true test of a students comprehension.

@denkmit True sportsmanship!

@MotoGP Date?

[Equiception @equiception]

@dieworkwear We do!

@MyretZaki The excuses for not restricting the movement of the Moretti's don't add up. Of course there is a risk of flight and collusion. I would not be surprised if they flee to Dubai

[Equiception @equiception]

@MyretZaki Thank you for asking the right questions. There are so many legitimate fears about the handling of this whole affair that we really need good journalists right now!

For the last decade, it has been hard to stray off the beaten path of accepted wisdom that scaling training parameters drives innovation.

However, the relationship between training compute + performance is uncertain + rapidly changing.

@ValerioCapraro Fascinating! Can't wait to read the paper...

🧵 1/8 The Illusion of Thinking: Are reasoning models like o1/o3, DeepSeek-R1, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet really "thinking"? 🤔 Or are they just throwing more compute towards pattern matching?

The new Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) show promising gains on math and coding benchmarks, but we found their fundamental limitations are more severe than expected.

In our latest work, we compared each “thinking” LRM with its “non-thinking” LLM twin. Unlike most prior works that only measure the final performance, we analyzed their actual reasoning traces—looking inside their long "thoughts". Our analysis reveals several interesting results ⬇️

@dieworkwear Just look at the Reuters piece about the LVMH factory in Texas...

@cohelongo @humanrightsCH @operationlibero @duycks By way of contrast: https://t.co/REs10O2qsE

@cohelongo @KlimaSeniorin Thanx for the summary!

[Equiception @equiception]

@dieworkwear Did you see this? Would love to hear your thoughts...https://t.co/pflQHHwDjv

[Equiception @equiception]

@dieworkwear Yes, and please comment on the wearing of white tennis shoes with business suits. I am shocked the see the spokesperson of the Swiss government regularly on TV wearing a suit and tennis shoes.

@dieworkwear Maybe his sleeves will trickle down to his wrists in due course?

[Equiception @equiception]

like during the pandemic where contracts are cancelled and workers unpaid. We know that #heat is a #humanrights risk, and we need a due diligence lens to avoid deadly safety and health consequences, and then a train smash when #globalvaluechains get disrupted. @EquiDiligence

[Equiception @equiception]

Are we headed for another force majeure crisis? I've been talking to colleagues in S. Asia about the #heat, often >50°c, and what construction sites, farms and factories are doing. 1/

[Equiception @equiception]

Buyers will have to conduct due diligence to assess these risks to life and prepare for the inevitable value chain disruptions. They must work with suppliers to adjust production schedules and delivery dates, otherwise there is a real risk of a force majeure situation... 4/
