Chameneího jméno jakožto vůdce Íránu bude pokračovat, uvedl člen Shromáždění znalců. To je pověřeno výběrem nového duchovního vůdce Íránu poté, co byl v první den americko-izraelských úderů na Írán minulou sobotu zabit nejvyšší duchovní ajatolláh Alí Chameneí.

Es ist klar – egal, ob am Ende Cem oder Manuel in die Stuttgarter Staatskanzlei einziehen kann –, dass sich landespolitisch kaum etwas ändern wird. nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1198132.

Baden-Württemberg: Schaut auf die Kleinen

Bei den kleineren Parteien zeigen sich die Verschiebungen im Parteiensystem. Sie sind ein Spiegel der wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Verwerfungen, die auch um ein reiches Land wie Baden-Württemberg keinen Bogen machen.

🧙🏿‍♂️🔮 Prediction that only I, Blackstradamus, am wise and learned enough to see!*

Iran can't defend its desalination plants! Other nations can't defend their desalination plants! Mutually assured thirst! Cities don't work without water! Refugee crisis!

The United States government and huge AI companies are using your data as part of the war machine.

Their ethics have been breached. The red lines have been crossed.

SWE-CI: Evaluating Agent Capabilities in Maintaining Codebases via CI

SWE-CI: Evaluating Agent Capabilities in Maintaining Codebases via Continuous Integration

Large language model (LLM)-powered agents have demonstrated strong capabilities in automating software engineering tasks such as static bug fixing, as evidenced by benchmarks like SWE-bench. However, in the real world, the development of mature software is typically predicated on complex requirement changes and long-term feature iterations -- a process that static, one-shot repair paradigms fail to capture. To bridge this gap, we propose \textbf{SWE-CI}, the first repository-level benchmark built upon the Continuous Integration loop, aiming to shift the evaluation paradigm for code generation from static, short-term \textit{functional correctness} toward dynamic, long-term \textit{maintainability}. The benchmark comprises 100 tasks, each corresponding on average to an evolution history spanning 233 days and 71 consecutive commits in a real-world code repository. SWE-CI requires agents to systematically resolve these tasks through dozens of rounds of analysis and coding iterations. SWE-CI provides valuable insights into how well agents can sustain code quality throughout long-term evolution.

It's been two full weeks since I turned off my smartphone and it was definitely the right choice. I was really worried about not having it but in the last two weeks I've only had to say "I'm sorry, I don't have a smartphone" once and it got me out of doing something I didn't want to do anyway. My attention is starting to come back and I'm definitely less anxious. Everyone is different and my experience will never be your experience but if you can, try getting rid of the misery box.

Heute haben wir in Baden-Württemberg unser historisch bestes Ergebnis erzielt. Leider hat es am Ende nicht gereicht. Wir danken unseren Wählerinnen und Wählern, und allen Aktiven, die uns unterstützt haben! Wir kämpfen weiter für ein bezahlbares Leben, in BaWÜ & überall!

Das Sharepic der Die Linke zeigt einen roten Hintergrund mit einer großen violetten grafischen Fläche. Oben links steht in weißer Schrift der Text: „Das ist das beste Ergebnis, das wir in Baden-Württemberg je hatten. Wir danken allen unseren Wählerinnen & Wählern, Unterstützerinnen & Unterstützern.“ In der Mitte steht groß und fett „Danke!“. Unten links ist das Logo der Partei Die Linke zu sehen.
