Hi! @SidekickRobo we're open sourcing a challenge to understand how prompting/icl impacts VLAs at inference including π models.

Would love to invite contributions from your team!

Today marks the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

The Armenian Genocide, spanning from 1915 to 1923, was a systematic campaign of extermination carried out by the Ottoman Empire, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians. It remains one of the darkest chapters in Armenian and world history.

The Armenian genocide will forever be one of the darkest chapters in human history. 1.5 million Armenian people were murdered in these senseless atrocities, systematically planned and carried out by the Ottoman Empire. On the 110th Anniversary Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide, we honour those who lost their lives, and reflect on their stories so they are never forgotten.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Il y a 110 ans débutait le génocide des Arméniens.

En ce 24 avril, journée nationale de commémoration, souvenons-nous de toutes les victimes et gardons vivante leur mémoire.

Continuons d’œuvrer, au nom de l’Humanité, pour la Vérité et la Justice.

Wow! @DAcemogluMIT, born in Istanbul to Armenian parents, shares the @NobelPrize in Economics. Congratulations Daron! So happy for the nation of Armenia 🇦🇲 to have some good news to celebrate.

Oral history: recorded my dad for an hour as he recounted our family history—from his parents’ experience during the Armenian genocide to how he met my mom. Happy 97th birthday, Dad!

@andrewansell_ @markgansell Thank you!

Un drame continue de se perpétuer en Arménie. L'Azerbaïdjan est coupable de détenir arbitrairement d’anciens responsables de l'Artsakh et de détruire le patrimoine arménien sur ce territoire.

J'ai pu en discuter hier avec Luis Moreno Ocampo, ancien procureur auprès de la Cour Pénale Internationale et auteur d'un rapport édifiant sur le processus génocidaire qui avait été mis en œuvre par l'Azerbaïdjan pendant le blocus du corridor de Latchin.

Nos pensées vont aux victimes, à leur famille, aux 100 000 réfugiés et aux prisonniers politiques détenus par l'Azerbaïdjan. Je remettrai la citoyenneté d'honneur de Paris aux représentants des Arméniens de l'Artsakh, le 10 décembre prochain, à l'occasion de la journée internationale des droits de l'Homme.

Paris demande également la libération immédiate de tous les prisonniers arméniens détenus par l'Azerbaïdjan.

Armenia finds itself at a historic crossroad after the Artsakh war. For many, it's difficult to hold on to hope. Yet they do. Often that hope can be found in the energy and fortitude of the new generation.

Refugee children arriving in Armenia are showing signs of severe psychological distress.

More than 30,000 children have fled their homes since the escalation of hostilities in their communities two weeks ago.
