In 🚘 gaat het eigenlijk altijd over #prestaties en #technologie. Om zich van de concurrentie te onderscheiden kiest automerk Kia Europe er dan ook al jaren voor om zich op een geheel andere wijze te presenteren: namelijk op de prestigieuze #Milan #Design #Week 🇮🇹. Met focus op #kunst, #mens en #beweging. 👀
"Dit keer stond men er met een aantal #experiences", aldus sidekick Bert Hagendoorn, "Eentje betrof een interactieve installatie, de 'Eclipse of Perceptions', 🕶️ die was gemaakt in samenwerking met een aantal kunstenaars. Die werken die schuren, dagen je uit en #inspireren. Middels #realtime interactie met de #bewegingen van de bezoekers." 🌴 Zie: slideshare.net/slideshow/kia-p….
En die andere? "De 'Transcend Journey' ging over de toekomst van #mobiliteit. 🏙️ Daar lieten ze zien hoe je elektrische voertuigen inpast in verschillende soorten #levensstijlen en omgevingen. Denk aan stedelijk en natuur 🦍, dat soort dingen." Meer info: kianewscenter.com/news/europe-….
Doen meer merken dit soort 'design'-uitstapjes? 🛸"Zeker, ook Google was op de 63e editie van de beurs aanwezig met een installatie genaamd 'Making The Invisible Machine'. Daarbij begaf je je als bezoeker in een soort mistige ruimte met een #lichtgordijn. 💨 Als je daar vervolgens met je hand doorheen ging, kreeg je een prachtig #geluid."

One of the few things that have somehow worked really well on my phone switch, is that xiaomi's stock rom will actually resume media playback from my podcast or music after tapping play on the media notification.
For some reason, my custom rom which is basically vanilla #Android on my Poco F4 refused to resume playback after a certain amount of time in the background.
Xiaomi releases an open-source 7B reasoning model that
MiMo-7B, a series of reasoning-focused language models trained from scratch, demonstrating that small models can achieve exceptional mathematical and code reasoning capabilities, even outperforming larger 32B models. Key innovations include:
- Pre-training optimizations: Enhanced data pipelines, multi-dimensional filtering, and a three-stage data mixture (25T tokens) with Multiple-Token Prediction for improved reasoning.
- Post-training techniques: Curated 130K math/code problems with rule-based rewards, a difficulty-driven code reward for sparse tasks, and data re-sampling to stabilize RL training.
- RL infrastructure: A Seamless Rollout Engine accelerates training/validation by 2.29×/1.96×, paired with robust inference support. MiMo-7B-RL matches OpenAI’s o1-mini on reasoning tasks, with all models (base, SFT, RL) open-sourced to advance the community’s development of powerful reasoning LLMs.

Here's a take on styling mastodon feeds on a WordPress page, in a Pinterest-like way, using Wolfgang's plugin:
wordpress.org/plugins/include-…
It's thought of as a dynamic decorative element on a page, and therefore limiting the amount of text and hashtags.
Demo page and CSS:
test.oldrup.dev/mastodon/
Tested in full width and wide width containers, with optional tilt and clip.
Most interesting on laptops and upwards.
All feedback welcome.

Das Bild zeigt eine auffällige Wandmalerei in Schwarz-Weiß mit dem Titel "LA TITIRITERO". Im Zentrum der Darstellung befindet sich ein grotesker, maskenhafter Charakter mit einem skelettartigen Gesicht und mehreren Hornen, die nach oben zeigen. Der Charakter hält eine Flagge mit einem Fischmotiv in der rechten Hand. Hinter dem Charakter sind dynamische, wellenförmige Linien zu sehen, die eine energetische Atmosphäre schaffen. Die Umrandung der Szene ist mit geometrischen Mustern und Punkten verziert. Der Hintergrund ist in einem gelben Farbton gehalten, und die Wandmalerei zeigt Anzeichen von Alterung und Verschleiß.

in reply to raDDler • • •Das Bild zeigt den prächtigen Innenraum eines Gebäudes, vermutlich ein historisches oder kulturelles Gebäude, mit einem hohen, gewölbten Deckenbereich. Der Deckenbereich ist reich verziert mit kunstvollen Fresken und Ornamenten, die in warmen Farben gehalten sind. In der Mitte des Gewölbes befindet sich ein großes Fresko, das eine Szene mit mehreren Figuren darstellt, die in einem himmlischen Umfeld zu sein scheinen. Die Figuren sind in klassischen Gewändern dargestellt und umgeben von Wolken und Engeln.
Die Decke ist mit goldenen Verzierungen und geometrischen Mustern geschmückt, die die architektonische Pracht unterstreichen. Die Wände sind ebenfalls mit kunstvollen Mustern und Fresken verziert, die die Deckenornamente ergänzen. Die Säulen sind aus dunklem Marmor und tragen goldene Verzierungen, was dem Raum eine majestätische Atmosphäre verleiht.
Im Vordergrund sind große Fenster zu sehen, die viel natürliches Licht hereinlassen und den Raum beleuchten. Die Fenster sind mit hohen, archenförmigen Bögen versehen und rahmen die Szene ein. Die Deckenleuchten, die von den Säulen hängen, sind mit mehreren Glühbirnen ausgestattet und tragen zur opulenten Atmosphäre bei.
Insgesamt vermittelt das Bild einen Eindruck von Luxus und historischer Bedeutung, was auf die Architektur und die Kunst im Raum hinweist.
