The CDU middle class writes on Instagram about the possible coalition in Berlin: "'Jewish question' clarified." Greens and Leftists speak of Nazi vocabulary. They demand a statement from the CDU. The CDU is on a moral wrong path - completely without a compass by now. Uff. (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that a man who had failed at VOKA was now apparently suitable to become the highest official of Flanders. He reminded that N-VA made videos ten years ago against political appointments and stated that the party itself had now gone too far in this regard. He referred to N-VA as a "new CD&V." https://t.co/p3EbH7avN0 #VlaamsePolitiek #Ambtenarij #NVA (translated)

Dominique Valcke, the man who expanded Stadsbader into a billion-dollar company, has been appointed as the new chairman of Voka. #Cookies #OnlineSecurity #WebsiteAccess (translated)
Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that since taking office in the Flemish Parliament in 2019, he had tried to warn that billions in subsidies for a limited number of companies, in his opinion, yielded nothing and had no noticeable impact on growth or employment. He stated that countless small entrepreneurs were paying for that and that the money, according to him, could be used for a significant reduction in burdens for everyone. He asked how many failures were still needed before the Flemish government and organizations like VOKA would realize that. #VlaamseRegering #Ondernemers #Subsidies (translated)

Dennis Riehle reported back after a longer hospital stay, stating that the examinations had shown that his Parkinson's syndrome was not due to a neurodegenerative process. A genetic cause had most likely been identified. The underlying disease impairs and damages the body's energy cells. Although it progresses more slowly than classical forms of Parkinson's, it affects multiple organs and is more difficult to treat, he wrote. Riehle described the most significant finding as a severe neurocognitive disorder, which he characterized as a form of dementia. In his case, it manifests primarily as difficulties in finding words and fluid speech. For about half a year, he has therefore found it harder to write texts. However, he wants to continue and keep posting on X – presumably less frequently and irregularly, but as much as possible in his usual style. #Parkinson #Gesundheit #Demenz (translated)
Arkimede kien fuq it-tablet tiegħu meta nqatel minn suldat Ruman. Tinstema’ naturali? Mhux wisq. U madankollu, eżatt hemm nistgħu naslu jekk “naġġornaw” il-passat biżżejjed. Kważi kull kultura għandha edizzjonijiet modernizzati ta’ awturi eqdem, flimkien ma’ dibattiti dwar l-ortografija, il-vokabularju, in-noti editorjali u l-adattament għall-qarrej tal-lum. Darba wieħed negozjant tal-antikitajiet qalli li “l-patina taż-żmien iżżid il-valur” u tista’ tkun id-differenza bejn oriġinal u kopja rħisa. Niftaħ “Esejs tal-Ħadd” ta’ Constantin Noica, nasal għall-prefazju tal-pubblikatur fl-edizzjoni Humanitas tal-1992 u nsib li “l-ortografija ġiet aġġornata”. Il-qari ta’ Noica seta’ kien mixja fis-snin 1930 u 1940. Minflok, qed nagħmlu dik il-mixja b’nuċċalijiet moderni, bilqiegħda komdi f’Uber, mingħajr il-biża’ li nitilfu triqitna — jiġifieri, li ma nifhmux il-kliem ta’ dak iż-żmien, li seta’ sempliċement ġie “tradott” fin-noti ta’ qiegħ il-paġna. U kieku nieħdu wkoll il-gazzetti ta’ dak iż-żmien u “naġġornawhom”? U forsi għandna nagħmlu rebranding ukoll lir-reklami ta’ dak iż-żmien, biex ma nġegħlux lin-newroni tagħna jaħdmu wisq, bħallikieku konna f’escape room. Għaliex nieqfu hemm? Nistgħu naġġornaw ukoll il-kotba tal-istorja u niktbu li Arkimede ta’ Sirakuża nqatel minn suldat Ruman waqt li kien qed jagħmel il-matematika fuq it-tablet tiegħu. L-idea bażika tibqa’ l-istess, hux? Tisparixxi biss l-epoka. U ħaġa oħra: għaliex il-matematiċi ma “jaġġornawx” lil Pitagora? Jistgħu jbiddlu n-notazzjoni. Jistgħu jispjegaw il-prova b’mod differenti. Jistgħu saħansitra jibnu d-dijagramma online permezz ta’ animazzjoni li tiżviluppa quddiem għajnejn l-istudenti. Imma t-teorema ta’ Pitagora tibqa’ t-teorema ta’ Pitagora. Allura, meta naqraw awtur antik, għaliex ma nżommux ukoll il-lingwa ta’ żmienu — u npoġġu l-ispjegazzjonijiet moderni fin-noti? U mistoqsija waħda tal-aħħar lil Humanitas u lil dawk li jaħdmu fid-dipartimenti universitarji tal-letteratura u l-filoloġija: jekk, fi ftit għexieren ta’ snin, l-istudenti tal-lum “jaġġornawkom” b’# u emoji, togħġobkom? #Humanitas #ConstantinNoica #Noica #EsejsTalĦadd #Arkimede #Pitagora #Hashtag #Emoji #MrStorywise #OrtografijaAġġornata #StorjaTalLingwa #20260920_1926 #Malti #Maltese #Letteratura #Storja
U novom istraživanju otkriveno je da su autonomni AI agenti razvili vlastiti, neobičan vokabular za međusobnu komunikaciju, koji postaje sve teže razumljiv ljudima i izaziva zabrinutost među stručnjacima zbog mogućih rizika u praćenju njihovog ponašanja. #umjetnaInteligencija #autonomniAgenti #nadzorAI
Voor wie zich afvraagt hoe het komt dat universiteiten als UGent compleet zijn doorgeslagen in links-en politiek activisime, tot zelfs een decaan wijsbegeerte die zich kruiperig excuseert voor een speech: dit is de grondoorzaak. Vorige week keurde de Vlaamse regering de benoeming van nieuwe leden raad van bestuur UGent goed. Daarbij zijn: Ann Vermorgen, Voorzitster ACV Chris Reniers, voorzitster ACOD Yves Derycke, Voorzitter ACOD Overheidsdiensten Peter Wieme, Gewestelijk secretaris ACV Ann Vermorgen, Voorzitster ACV Masanka Tschimanga, Algemeen Secretaris VSOA Pascal Claessens, Voorzitter VSOA Onderwijs Thijs Verbeurgt, Vooruit-verkozenen en kabinetschef minister Depraetere (plus talrijke andere mandaten, hoeveel kan je er zo combineren?) Karin Temmerman, voormalig Vooruit parlementslid Filip Van Laecke, CD&V provincieraadsid Er werden ook een N-VA, Unizo en Voka-leden toegevoegd. Raden van Bestuur bij universiteiten zijn daarmee geen echte check-and-balance, zoals bij een bedrijf. Het zijn politieke organen. Met als enig doel: de politieke lijn en politieke rector te beschermen. Zelfs toen lokalen bezet werden door gemaskerde Hamas-militanten, ga je daar geen enkele kritische reflectie over horen. Toen de ophef over de AI-speech van De Sutter uitbrak, waren het leden van de raad van bestuur die het op sociale media hadden over "heksenjacht" en "het is een aanval omdat de rector links is". Sjah. Een bedrijf met zo'n kritiekloze Raad van Bestuur gaat snel kopje onder. Het wordt hoog tijd dat universiteiten volledig ge-depolitseerd worden. Te beginnen bij de Raden van bestuur. #Universiteiten #Politiek #Activisme
