This evening, in the #friterie, I overheard a fascinating conversation about #ironing. Apparently, the younger #generation mostly uses #steamironing these days.

😅 But, um, me—well, us, I mean—honestly, we hardly iron at all. Maybe twice a year? It might be less. It seems like something from the past, though I was surprised to hear it's still quite common and a small talk subject...

The perfect topic to test Mastodon's polling features.

So, Mastodon community, how do you iron?

Gen X thrived on a blow-it-all-up attitude. Things look different now that Trump is actually doing it

I support the #SerbianProtest ✋🟥! Your movement is reigniting international #social #libertarian energy. In an era of polycrisis, where our #Generation sees few positive prospects for the future, you are leading the way.

#Europe #EuropeanUnion #EuropeanCommission should stand with Serbian citizens, if we were truly aligned with our so-called "values".

The next Renaissance won't be Italian; it will be born in #serbia ! 🇷🇸

re-Engage | A Horizon Europe project · How Serbian students are redefining protest and participationA tragic accident in Novi Sad, caused by corruption and negligence, has sparked widespread student-led protests in Serbia, exposing deep public dissatisfaction with government mismanagement.

arXiv.orgTransfer between Modalities with MetaQueriesUnified multimodal models aim to integrate understanding (text output) and generation (pixel output), but aligning these different modalities within a single architecture often demands complex training recipes and careful data balancing. We introduce MetaQueries, a set of learnable queries that act as an efficient interface between autoregressive multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) and diffusion models. MetaQueries connects the MLLM's latents to the diffusion decoder, enabling knowledge-augmented image generation by leveraging the MLLM's deep understanding and reasoning capabilities. Our method simplifies training, requiring only paired image-caption data and standard diffusion objectives. Notably, this transfer is effective even when the MLLM backbone remains frozen, thereby preserving its state-of-the-art multimodal understanding capabilities while achieving strong generative performance. Additionally, our method is flexible and can be easily instruction-tuned for advanced applications such as image editing and subject-driven generation.
