Donald Trump has just gone off the stage in Michigan.
Much of his speech repeated what was previously heard this evening – including some of the greatest hits from his election campaign.
It started in a familiar way to the sound of God's sound of Lee Greenwood.
“I miss you. I miss the campaign,” he told the crowd.
Trump then recycled many of his favorite talk, repeated attacks on judges and his predecessors as well as demands on business and immigration.

Here we are at the end of another month in 2025. It is difficult to believe how quickly the time will run in a few months.
It's the same with every day. They jump out of bed in the morning, attack the day, and then the sun starts, 12 to 15 hours away quickly.
Time ever waits for no one. The tick, checkered, tick the watch never stops. Even the entire life of a life is reduced to just a few thousand days.
As someone who spends a lot of time in a cemetery, I understand the quick lifespan – no matter how long it ends. I could preach here, but I won't.

L’intégrité numérique fait peu à peu son chemin dans le débat juridique contemporain. Si elle n’est pas encore consacrée comme un droit fondamental à l’échelle internationale, elle s’impose comme une nécessité dans un monde où notre vie en ligne est devenue indissociable de notre existence physique. Nos données, notre réputation numérique, nos interactions sur les réseaux sociaux forment une extension de nous-mêmes, et les atteintes que nous subissons en ligne peuvent avoir des répercussions bien réelles sur notre bien-être, notre dignité ou nos perspectives professionnelles.

Mit der generativen Künstlichen Intelligenz (GenAI) wurde das Wort Prompt in unseren Sprachgebrauch eingeführt. Wörtlich übersetzten lässt es sich mit „Eingabeaufforderung“ und beschreibt die Interaktion mit sprachbasierter GenAI. Im Bereich Prompt Engineering wird viel geforscht, es ist fast unmöglich, jede Entwicklung zu verfolgen. Welches Modell ist für welche Aufgabe geeignet? Was ist Zero- und Few-Shot-Prompting? Sind meine geteilten Informationen nun sicher oder nicht?
