@christineburns that's very true, and the problem doesn't seem to be improving.

This is an article from November 22, saying at that point National Grid had a 176 GW of generation capacity in the que for connection, a huge chunk of which didn't even have planning permission.

Between the difficulty of connecting to the grid, the labyrinthine and hostile British planning system and challenges of securing investment, so many of these projects just seem to never come to fruition.

Maybe I'm biased because this is all I see, and it's just as bad everywhere else, but the UK does seem to struggle tremendously to deliver any large scale infrastructure projects.

"You need a vision bigger than you've been told is possible!"  - Kat Abughazaleh 

That's her phrase, not mine! She's 26-year-old Kat bAbughazaleh, and she's running for Congress. In the middle of her announcement video, she stated: "You need a vision bigger than you've been told is possible!"
I'm always a sucker for a good inspirational phrase - and I can also spot the nascent signs of what might be a major trend early on. This might be one of those moments.

Look, I swear to god I'm not working to turn my daily post into a political journal, but the timing of this video yesterday was just too perfect in light of my post earlier that day about the need for the system to get 'youthanized.'

So what's this post about? It's about what might happen when the social media/influencer generation gets aggressively involved in politics. Later in the video, she said this: “I say it’s time to drop the excuses and grow a fucking spine," And then, "We're focused on meeting constituent needs with one simple rule: What if we didn't suck?"

Talk about message clarity!

Watch the video for yourself, and try and tell me that this might not be the early sign of something happening in US politics right now.

And since US politics has a huge impact on whether the future unfolds or not, well, it's in the territory of this daily post. Yesterday, I was listening to The Daily podcast from the New York Times, and one political expert said that the Democrats might be having their own Tea Party moment, what with the anger at aging politicians and all. Maybe this was the moment stuff was thrown in the harbor.

The video is blowing up on social media right now - and no wonder. What we might be seeing right now is the first of a sudden groundswell of today's 20 and 30-year-olds launching themselves into a system that has become geriatric by design

Mit dem Internet brach über meine Generation so ein verdammtes Selbstoptimierungsvirus herein, das mich in der täglichen Konfrontation mit Timelines und Selbstportraits nur noch anwidert. Zunächst habe ich darauf reagiert, indem ich Menschen aus meinen Fotografien verbannt habe. Der Versuch einer Reaktion auf diese Eitelkeit. Aber durch den Umstand, dass ich auch selber Apologet dieser […]

Postcode pricing already exists. We pay more for our electricity in Scotland, despite the generation than anywhere else in Northern Europe - and that includes England.

theguardian.com/business/2025/

Of course England is opposed - in principle. But then the system as supported by Westminster screws England as well. Just not as much!

Enhancing Frame Detection with Retrieval Augmented Generation — arxiv.org/abs/2502.12210
#HackerNews #Enhancing #Frame #Detection #Retrieval #Augmented #Generation #AI #Research #Machine #Learning

arXiv.orgEnhancing Frame Detection with Retrieval Augmented GenerationRecent advancements in Natural Language Processing have significantly improved the extraction of structured semantic representations from unstructured text, especially through Frame Semantic Role Labeling (FSRL). Despite this progress, the potential of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models for frame detection remains under-explored. In this paper, we present the first RAG-based approach for frame detection called RCIF (Retrieve Candidates and Identify Frames). RCIF is also the first approach to operate without the need for explicit target span and comprises three main stages: (1) generation of frame embeddings from various representations ; (2) retrieval of candidate frames given an input text; and (3) identification of the most suitable frames. We conducted extensive experiments across multiple configurations, including zero-shot, few-shot, and fine-tuning settings. Our results show that our retrieval component significantly reduces the complexity of the task by narrowing the search space thus allowing the frame identifier to refine and complete the set of candidates. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on FrameNet 1.5 and 1.7, demonstrating its robustness in scenarios where only raw text is provided. Furthermore, we leverage the structured representation obtained through this method as a proxy to enhance generalization across lexical variations in the task of translating natural language questions into SPARQL queries.
