which EJIT came up with this handle for a water spout that is used in a recently built building, catering to health-professionals, with hospital staff frequently visiting?
You have to find, grip, and twist the small ring at the end of the water spout in order to get water running

gestern den ersten Teil vom #nordcon24 hinter mich gebracht. Die Zombiecalypse ist großartig losgelaufen, und die Zombies führen knapp mit 14:11 wenn ich den Punktestand korrekt im Kopf behalten hab.
Das ganze Team der Zombiecalypse freut sich schon auf den Rest vom Con Wochenende!

I did not know I needed this in my timeline. You certainly should have it in yours!

Just watched a mom walking by with a toddler at her hand. Toddler sees a loose object on the ground, picks it up. Mom tells kid not to, to put it back.
Toddler instead hurls the cobblestone in best anarchist form towards the first suit it sees (me) (not actually hitting me. We're still talking about a toddler here!)
Let that be a lesson to me, I look way too much like I sold out to the man!

Money quote: "Weselsky wird oft als böser Bube gezeichnet. Aber er hat mit rund 20 privaten Bahnunternehmen Tarifverträge abgeschlossen, ratzfatz und ohne große Öffentlichkeit."

@npub1zdp…vqv8 @npub1928…kcpa tried to get Merlin to use these buttons, and he's like "nah, you get me anyway, no need for me to learn something new."

@npub1sly…t8j7 Und Du glaubst doch nicht, dass die Busfahrer gesucht werden, weil es in DE keine gibt. Dem Unternehmen in Frage laufen die halt einfach zur Konkurrenz davon, weil die Bezahlung am unteren Limit ist.

@npub1yhj…3h3t Out of genuine curiosity, and I guess @npub1sly…t8j7 also has something to say here: 10-20 years ago, there was the (still ongoing) debate on filesharing and media piracy. One of the arguments there was "look, you cannot meaningfully crack down on this due to technology, and if you do anyway, the societal costs would be too high".
That sounds eerily familiar to what the big AI proponents say today.
So, is their argument equally valid? And if not, why? (My gut feeling is that the societal cost for regulating the AI business models is a lot less than completely prohibiting filesharing. On top of that, filesharing is mostly only forbidden because copyright is borked - but then, isn't copyright one of the main venues of argument by those who critize OpenAI et al?

@npub1psd…9sr7 fingers crossed too! Will you appear somewhere? Otherwise, if you don't have anything to do tonight, there's a real good pie place :)

@npub1sly…t8j7 @npub1ykx…zy6w das ist der Innendruck. Den sieht man nur, wenn man das T-Shirt ...

@npub1sly…t8j7 Ich behaupte mal, dass eine Unterrichtseinheit, die sich mit den Grundlagen von "was ist KI überhaupt, und was ist der Unterschied zwischen Big Bird und Big Data?" schon sehr sinnvoll wäre.
Um die zu halten, braucht es nicht einmal einen Computer im Klassenzimmer.
