Greenage Technologies' Net Metering is an interesting idea, but it's not the big idea that resolves Nigeria's power issues.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿? For many young Nigerians, graduation is only the beginning of a much bigger journey. The reality is that careers, opportunities, relationships, leadership, and personal growth often require much more than a degree alone. As students navigate an increasingly complex world, perhaps it's time to rethink some of the assumptions we've inherited about success. If conversations like this interest you, you may be a great fit for The Nigerian Thinker Campus Ambassador Program. Learn more and apply via our website: thenigerianthinker.com/ambas…

Great conversations don't happen by accident. They happen because people are willing to create spaces where ideas can be shared, challenged, and explored. That's part of what being a Nigerian Thinker Campus Ambassador is about. You'll join a growing network of students helping to strengthen conversations across Nigerian campuses.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿 Nigeria does not have a shortage of opinions. It has a shortage of rigorous thinking and of institutions willing to sustain it. The Nigerian Thinker exists to cultivate thoughtful conversations, challenge assumptions, and shape the quality of thinking that influences the future of our nation. Because the Nigeria we build tomorrow depends on the quality of thought we encourage today. #TheNigerianThinker

🤯 We noticed that many failures stem not from lack of knowledge but from overthinking. Models often find the right answer early in CoT, but spiral into self-corrections and abandon correct solutions. This challenges the assumption: More CoT ≠ better results Sometimes the models' self-correction mechanisms can inadvertently backfire

🚀 Introducing MMMU-Pro: A more robust version of MMMU arxiv.org/pdf/2409.02813v1 After launching MMMU, we received valuable feedback from the community: 1️⃣ Some questions were answerable without even seeing the images. 2️⃣ Models didn’t always "know" the answer but found shortcuts from the options provided. 3️⃣ Performance was heavily tied to LLMs, with minimal impact from the vision module. To tackle these issues, we implemented the following improvements: 🔍 1. Filtering Text-Only Answerable Questions 🔄 2. Augmenting Candidate Options up to 10 by Human Experts. 🖼️ 3. Vision-Only Input Setting: where questions are embedded directly in images, requiring the model to rely purely on visual input. ✨ Why We Added Vision-Only Input Setting? 1. From a foundational perspective, this setting forces AI to genuinely "see" and "read" at the same time—challenging a core human cognitive skill: the seamless integration of visual and textual information. 2. From an application standpoint, this approach mirrors how users naturally interact with AI systems—by sharing screenshots or photos, without meticulously separating text from images. 📊 Key Results: Performance on MMMU-Pro is notably lower compared to MMMU, ranging from 16.8% to 26.9% across various models. The ranking of models is generally similar to the original but we also observe less robust ones— for example, GPT-4o mini proved less robust than GPT-4o and other proprietary models, showing significant drops in performance on the augmented set. 🔬 More in-depth analysis can be found in the threads below! 👇

It is not abysmal. Nigeria simply doesn't have the population it claims to have.

There are matters on which a government must NEVER give up ground. Security is the foremost of those. If you give an inch, every criminal will take their own inch and dare to take even more.
In a fresh attack, many students were kidnapped again in Katsina. They are Islamiyya school students in Mahuta. Clearly, kidnapping is big business for bandits. We never recover from the last one, Them go soon ask for our CC, load am and bill us again. Nigeria na sure client.

I was surprised that @OfficialAPCNg and the @NigeriaGov have celebrated and claimed the return of the boys as an achievement. We are glad to see the boys home, reunited with their families.

The Buhari administration failed to ensure that this type of criminal act never occurred in the first place. That inch has been conceded. Can we ensure that other criminal elements do not take their own inches? This failure needs to be questioned.
