Today, we are working in Denmark at the European... Political Community Summit. I began our work by meeting with Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen Statsministeriet. The recent incursions into the airspace of Denmark, Poland, Romania, Norway, and Estonia were a key focus. Russia is escalating, and we discussed how we can respond to these threats. We have repeatedly proposed creating a joint, integrated air defense system. The expertise of Ukrainian professionals and Ukrainian technologies must become an important part of the EU’s Drone Wall initiative. Right now, a strong group of Ukrainian servicemembers is in Denmark, helping Danish colleagues. We also discussed the implementation of the PURL initiative and Denmark’s further participation in this program. We value Denmark’s contribution of €90 million. I am grateful to Denmark for a military aid package of more than €360 million to support Ukrainian production under the Danish model. I thank Prime Minister Frederiksen and the people of Denmark for their strong support. 🇺🇦 🇩🇰show more

🥶 Shocking only to those who grew up outside... Scandinavia In Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, babies are calmly put to sleep outdoors even in winter, at subzero temperatures. Why do they do this? 🔻 It’s believed that cold, fresh air improves sleep quality. 🔻 Children get sick less often — indoor spaces have more dry air and viruses. 🔻 Outdoor sleep is deeper and longer — confirmed by both parents and pediatricians. 🔻 It’s part of a culture of trust and calm — no one fears that “something will happen.”show more

🇧🇻I never thought this would ever happen ... Norway,... yes you are reading it right, NORWAY, would take a medal in the Ice Hockey World Cup. For the first time EVER, they take a medal, by beating Canada in the Bronze match, on overtime. I have to take my hat off and say, congratulations. Very impressive. Now waiting for the Gold Medal game between 🇫🇮Finland and 🇨🇭Switzerland later this evening. So where is 🇸🇪Sweden you may ask? Sadly out already in the quarter final ... Still suffering a bit of the generation shift. Well, Norway is here to stay, now also in hockey. The world is upside down. 🙏 The sound in the video is from the Norwegian commentators. 😁show more

A thousand days of full-scale war is a very... difficult path, and we are enduring it because we have friends like Denmark by our side, and leaders like Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. I am deeply grateful to Mette Frederiksen for her personal leadership, her team, and the Danish people for their support of Ukraine and our people. Today, we have a new support package from Denmark, focused primarily on the long-range capabilities that our country urgently needs. Together, we have created a special Danish model for developing Ukraine’s defense industry, and we will continue to strengthen this cooperation. We are already preparing for further joint efforts at the European institutional level. 🇺🇦🇩🇰show more

Alaska isn’t real life, this is literally Jurassic Park... on a random Tuesday 🫎🤯 Every time I think I understand how big a bull moose actually is, a clip like this pops up and completely resets my scale. Seeing one in the wild is already intimidating, but watching two full-sized males casually strolling down the highway together like best friends? That’s next-level rare. They make the passing trucks look like compact toys! It’s crazy to think that for locals in Alaska, a traffic jam isn't caused by construction—it's caused by giant prehistoric-looking wildlife taking over the lane. Absolutely insane view 🌲🏔️show more

JUST IN: President Trump says he will be imposing... a 10% tariff on certain European countries which will be increased to 25% until a deal is made on Greenland. “We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years…” Trump said on Truth. “Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America.” “On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.”show more

Batch Normalization by hand ✍️ ~ 7 steps walkthrough... below Batch normalization is common practice for improving training and achieving faster convergence. It sounds simple. But it is often misunderstood. 🤔 Does batch normalization involve trainable parameters, tunable hyper-parameters, or both? 🤔 Is batch normalization applied to inputs, features, weights, biases, or outputs? 🤔 How is batch normalization different from layer normalization? So I drew and calculated one entirely by hand. Goal: normalize a mini-batch of 4 examples to mean 0 and variance 1, then let the network scale it back. = 1. Given = A mini-batch of 4 training examples, each with 3 features. = 2. Linear layer = Let us multiply by the weights and add the biases. Batch norm sits after this, which answers the second question: what gets normalized is features, not inputs, weights or biases. = 3. ReLU = We apply the activation, and -2 becomes 0. Negative values are suppressed before any statistic is taken. = 4. Batch statistics = Let us compute the sum, mean, variance and standard deviation, one row at a time. A row is a feature and the four columns are the four examples, so every number here measures one feature against the rest of the batch. That is the "batch" in batch normalization, and it is exactly what layer normalization does not do. The statistics are rounded to whole numbers, which is what keeps the rest of the page doable in pen. = 5. Shift to mean 0 = We subtract the mean, in green. The four values in each feature now average to zero. = 6. Scale to variance 1 = Let us divide by the standard deviation, in orange. Each feature now has variance one, whatever scale it arrived at. = 7. Scale and shift = We multiply by a linear transformation and pass the result on. The diagonal and the last column are trainable, so having just forced every feature to mean 0 and variance 1, we hand the network the means to undo it. The outputs: Mean of each feature = [2, 1, 2] Std dev of each feature = [1, 1, 2] To the next layer = [2, -2, 2, 0], [-3, 3, 6, -3], [2, 0, 1, 2] The answers: 🤔 Both. The scale and shift are trainable, the statistics are not. Epsilon and the momentum on the running statistics are the hyper-parameters, and one mini-batch by hand needs neither. 🤔 Features, after the linear layer, not inputs, weights or biases. 🤔 Batch norm measures across the batch, one feature at a time. Layer norm measures across the features, one example at a time. 💾 Save this post!show more

This scene from Quentin Tarantino’s masterpiece “Inglourious Basterds” is... a perfect example of cinematic tension and a masterclass in dialogue. The moment Lieutenant Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender) gives himself away by using the wrong hand gesture for “three glasses” is one of the most iconic reveals in modern film history. It’s a small detail, but in the world of espionage, it’s everything. It’s a subtle clue that unravels an entire operation and leads to one of the most explosive and unforgettable showdowns ever filmed. This isn’t just a movie scene; it’s a lesson in screenwriting and acting, where every word, every gesture, and every pause is loaded with meaning. It’s the kind of filmmaking that makes you lean forward in your seat, your heart pounding, even on the tenth rewatch. Tarantino’s ability to build suspense in a single, confined space is unparalleled, and this tavern scene is arguably the best of its kind. What’s your favorite moment from this legendary film?show more

Massive performance improvement. This is a bit more of... technical post, but man do I love this stuff! Units navigate the map using a 'Navigation Mesh'. Before, I was using one giant nav mesh that spanned the entire map. The more objects that were placed (especially on a large map such as this 'RadarAttack' map designed by Syphotic | Steel Command), the larger the 'lag' would be after placement. You can see here that there is a massive frame drop and the navmesh doesnt update for almost 5 seconds. Now, there are a ton of tiny navmeshes that connect to one another, and together they cover the whole map. Now, when an object is placed, the navmesh will update instantly, because it no longer needs to parse through every object on the map (potentially thousands!!!). It only needs to parse through the objects that exist in the mini navmesh that the object was placed in (probably only 1-5 objects now!). Performance XP Boost +100!

This is raw power, precision, and teamwork in motion. Join Naveed Jamali for an up-close and personal look now on Unconventional's YouTube!show more

Marketers. I’m begging you. Stop prompting Claude 12+ times... when it can be done in 1. Most marketers open Claude and start typing whatever comes to mind. Several rounds later, you’re editing mediocre output by hand. My team built a prompt auditing tool that reads your work, grades it, and gets you to 95% in minutes. It’s based on the RCTC framework, which answers the 4 questions Claude actually needs to be effective: Role - WHO is this for? Channel - WHERE is this going? Task - WHAT outcome is the output getting to? Constraints - WHAT bad output sounds like? Then automatically edits your work so you’re more effective in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. Comment “GA” and I’ll send you the tool.show more

An Inuit woman named Keira, living in Denmark, has... been forced to hand over her newborn baby, to state authorities just two hours after giving birth. Danish officials did not allow Keira to dress, breastfeed, or even soothe her baby before taking the child away. Authorities claimed that Keira was not mentally capable of raising her child because she does not speak Danish fluently. This decision was based on an assessment by a Danish psychologist who failed to consider Keira’s reliance on body language, a key aspect of Inuit communication. Critics argue that this is a clear act of racial discrimination by Danish authorities, as Inuit culture places great importance on non-verbal communication. The language barrier led to what many consider an unfair and biased judgment of Keira’s parenting abilities. Official statistics reveal a troubling trend: while only 1% of Danish children are removed from their families, the number rises to 6% for Inuit children. This disproportionate rate raises serious concerns about systemic discrimination against Indigenous communities in Denmark.show more

It’s been an outrageous weekend for Vanderbilt Baseball 2026... commit RJ Cope, a 6-foot-8 first baseman and lefty with top-of-scale raw juice from the left side at the plate. The big man is 10-for-16 with a homer, double, four walks to two Ks and three stolen bases. It’s a no-doubt power over hit profile but he’s done an outstanding job of waiting for his pitch and depositing it in gaps like in the video below when he put a defensive two-strike swing on a ball to cash in runs for his team in a critical spot. All of this and Cope is still new to hitting. His potential is off the charts with the bat.show more
