How does this influence the Drake equation? Previously it was assumed that free oxygen would require life, right?

Remember that cousin, who had polio and had to lie in an iron lung for life? No? Me neither! Thank vaccines.

Mein Zeug liegt auf codeberg, aber ich suche auch keine Kontributoren (was für ein Wort). Ich denke die Entscheidung auf welchem Hoster der Code liegt wird hier eher pragmatischer Natur sein. Sobald GitHub inkompatible Moves macht können sie ja sofort umziehen. Git machts möglich.

Der Betriebssystemkern ist aber nicht alles was zählt. Er ist wichtig, keine Frage, aber um für europäische Verwaltungen und Ämter nützlich zu sein müssen spezifische Anwendungen entweder als Open Souece kommisioniert, oder selbst entwickelt werden.

In Frankreich gibt es die Direction interminitérielle numérique (DINUM), die sind auf github (ja, USA) sehr aktiv und arbeiten mit dem Zentrum Digitale Souveränität (ZenDIS) aus Deutschland zusammen. Die Niederlande sollen gerade “onboarded” werden, und weitere Kollaborationspartner werden gesucht. Es wird aktiv an quelloffener Kollaborationssoftware, wie Docs, etc. entwickelt.

Das gibt mir zumindest Hoffnung dass nicht nur alte Männer mit Kugelschreibern unterwegs sind.

What’s displayed in the screenshots are typographically relevant variations of the whitespace. 0x00A0 is the non-breaking space, and 0x202F is a narrow whitespace. Both have their own Wikipedia pages where you can look up what to use them for. And while browsers may display them the same as a regular whitespace, because they just suck at typography, the same is not true for word processing or layout software.

Granted, while they can be detected and used as watermarks, although I regularily used them in my text formatting software as well. The resulting text flows better and will not be wrapped in illogical ways. So I don’t think they are intended as watermarks, and I also don’t think they will be going away again. It’s just such a tremendous improvement of the output.

In German a slightly better one would be “Kaufe Europäisch” which is imperative and more emotionally direct.

Golden Dome? Srsly? Its so clear Trump named this himself.

It was in the 60s! Look up Douglas Engelbart.

If I understood this correctly, they analyzed incredibly blurry images and concluded that there are clouds of gas around galaxies, then they extrapolated the found gas up to all or almost all galaxies and concluded that it can fulfill the calculated expectations.

For almost no money of course. No, no there is nothing nefarious going on, you know. Everybody knows, we just want to help.

Zum “anwerfen”, sonst startet er nicht.

True, they are probably not even transformers, but they are also trained with gradient descent.

To be fair, there are some ways to use “AI” in biomedical research, although they used it before the recent “AI” boom. Things like specialized models for one use case, etc. The idea is to get the model to “think” like a protein, not like a human.

But then again, I’m not in the field and my only information is from an interview of a human geneticist about AI use.

Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke

I re-read it a few times already, and even though written in the 50s it holds up quite well (except for the total absence of computers). Its a brilliant read. Edit: to clarify, I meant the societal trends he projected are quite fascinating. Also the transition to a post scarcity society. It’s not very prophetic obviously. :)

Are these the culled, disinfected and frozen cicken that lay no more eggs? Want to sell them off for damage control?

All of them.

I left my code in way too good a shape. Even documented. They didn’t deserve this at all. :)

Machterhalt, auch nachdem die schlafende Bevölkerung aufwachen und realisieren würde, dass sie Jahrzehnte lang verarscht wurde.

But number goes down. Why o why.
