Die Vienna Conference on Citizenship Education bringt die Politische Bildung in den Austausch mit aktuellen Themen der kritischen Gesellschaftswissenschaften und leistet einen Beitrag zur Internationalisierung. Durch den wechselseitigen Transfer zwischen Praxis und Theorie soll die Didaktik der Politischen Bildung wissenschaftlich weiterentwickelt werden.

CALL FOR PAPERS!

für die 7th VIENNA CONFERENCE ON CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION
am 06. & 07. November 2025

Eat the Rich?
Politische Bildung im Kapitalismus:
Transformativ – Disruptiv – Asymmetrisch

Zum Einreichen eines Vortrags mailen Sie bitte einen Abstract (ca. 2.500 Zeichen inkl. Leerzeichen; zum Einreichen eines Posters ca. 2.000 Zeichen) bis zum 01.06.2025!

Mehr Informationen: lehrerinnenbildung.univie.ac.a

Ich suche fundierte #Studien, Artikel, Beiträge usw., warum #Kernkraftwerke – inklusive #SMR und andere "Zukunftskonzepte" – keine realistische Option für die #Zukunft sind.
Warum sie nicht rentabel betrieben werden können, warum sie wirtschaftlich und/oder praktisch scheitern.

Gerne alles schicken, was ihr dazu habt: Analysen, Langfassungen, gute Threads, #Papers, Dokus.
Super wären auch peer-reviewte Papers.

Danke euch!

I've just reviewed Csaba Szabo's ''Unreliable: Bias, Fraud, and the Reproducibility Crisis in Biomedical Research'.

It's a tour-de-force through how most biomedicine research results are impossible to reproduce, how the field is corrupted by fraud, and what some real scientists are doing to counter all of this.

"I took much pains in sorting and folding of papers."

I agree so very very much, Sam. The folding part is often overlooked. A paper that is being put to use must be folded. It's a mark of recognition and appropriation. The unfolded paper is alien, the folded paper is trusted.

[The truth, I'm not sarky.]

For those who like #papers, here’s the #deepseek one:

Reading this is such a joy. There is real dedication in optimizing the training data and method to yield maximum output performance. This is real technological innovation.

Silicon Valley on the other hand has had their thought corrupted by economic & political power. When you’re big you start to order people around and they start being scared of being critical of you. Being big ends up being the only target.

📣 Calling for Contributions for #ossym25
The Open Search Symposium brings together the European + International Open Search community for the seventh time

@Rxiv_mechanobio
Rant! I'm trying to access these #papers from #PRE with #Firefox (through my uni's mirror because they're paywalled), and there's a #captcha by #cloudFlare which blocks me.

It just loops on this tick-box variant of a captcha. Trying with #chromium I don't even have the captcha page.

(It's the same with the CNRS mirror, so not an issue with the paywall thing I guess)

Can someone tell me if they have the same problem?

There are many interesting questions to be explored from here: are these new metrics sufficient to capture models’ ability to learn world models? What about the problems that can’t be reduced to DFA? How can we map next-token prediction to learning the deeper and more holistic representation of the world, or should we find new ways?

Continued thread

The authors then tested two instances of DFA: navigating streets in New York City and playing the board game Othello. They found big gaps both between the conventional metrics (next-token test and current state probe) and the new metrics (pictures), and model performance (measured by the new metrics) when the “world” changes, e.g., randomly increasing cost on certain roads in the city (“noisy shortest paths” in picture 1).

The compression precision measures how well a model can conclude that the same state, no matter what input sequences are used to reach it, should lead to the same accepted sequences. The distinction precision, on the other hand, measures how well a model can recognize input sequences that lead to different states.
