Server’s down :(

The election system distorts the vote quite dramatically in the US, that’s true.

However, depending on where you’re from left has quite a different meaning from what Americans mean when they say left. E.g. the Democrats don’t want to dismantle capitalism or expropriate real estate companies (the city of Berlin seriously looked into this option). Center left has a similar shift in meaning in other countries.

Yes, but at some point it doesn’t matter. The AI is trained to replicate human writing. There will be a point where it becomes so good that the result is a perfect replica, where it is indistinguishable from human text. I.e. even a perfect detector will not be able to confidently declare it as AI written, not ever. Because there is no difference.

I bet AI detection is going to get a lot better over time.

I doubt it. ChatGPT 3.5 is good enough to rewrite small snippets of text with better phrasing, ChatGPT 4.0 can write a paragraph if given enough support. Good enough as in "the output is indistinguishable from what a human would have written.

Of course you can do even more with the currently available tools - and get found out.

There is a way to make AI generated text detectable: by slightly pushing the output towards a consistent pattern a detector can reliably judge long pieces of text as AI generated.
Imagine if the AI is biased towards consecutive words starting with consecutive letters of the alphabet (e.g. “a blue car” instead of “a navy vehicle”.). Not strongly biased, but enough so that when there are 1000 words you can look at the probability of consecutive words starting with consecutive letters of the alphabet and get a clear result.

There are two problems though: this only works with proprietary systems and only with long texts.

I have compact view. I tap on a thumbnail to make the image “full screen”. In short succession I tap on the screen once, then touch and drag, which zooms the image.

Since I have it set to dismiss/leave “full screen” via of images by swiping the image up or down I need the tap before dragging to zoom into the image.

It still works the same.

It’s funny because the (far) left vilifies the police and then goes all surprised Pikachu when they turn out to not be manned by far left people.

Idealism in all honor, but you’re not gonna change the system without being in control of the current power structures.

As though badges grow on trees

True, if there is no police it’s not like cops just appear.

The mafia does.

Lmao! This map is unreasonably funny.

Jo, wenn du nicht gestört hast ist’s ein bisschen Assi dich vom Platz zu vertreiben. Aber wenn sie für ihren Verein den Platz gemietet haben kann es schon sein, dass sie halt alleine trainieren wollen.

Bist du sicher, dass es ein öffentlicher Platz (wie ein Park) ist? Sportflächen werden oft vermietet (wie z.b. auch ne Stadthalle für Veranstaltungen vermietet wird).

Ich habe gelernt, das bei Lichtschutzfaktor 15 etwa 7 Prozent der Sonnenstrahlen an die Haut gelangen, bei 30 nur noch 3,5 Prozent und bei einem Lichtschutzfaktor von 60 wiederum nur noch die Hälfte. LSF 30 oder 50 macht in der Realität also keinen Unterschied mehr, das ist nur noch Marketing.

Korrekt. Ander formuliert kann man auch sagen, dass Lichtschutzfaktor X bedeutet, dass jemand mit Sonnencreme X Mal so lange draußen sein muss um die gleiche Dosis UV Strahlung abzubekommen.
Also 5 Minuten ohne Sonnencreme sind equivalent zu 5 Stunden mit Lichtschutzfaktor 60.

Make both hands into a fist and hold them out in front of you so that the knuckles are visible. Now start on a pinky and count the knuckles and valleys between them. Knuckles are 31 days, valleys are 30 (and February). When you switch between hands it doesn’t count as a valley.

Left Pinky knucke: January, 31 days
Left Pinky/ring finger valley: February
Left Ring finger knuckle: march, 31
Left Ring/middle: April, 30
Left Middle: may, 31
Left Middle/index: June, 30
Left Index: July, 31
Right Index: August, 31
Right Index/middle: September, 30
Right middle: Oktober, 31
Right middle/ring: November, 30
Right ring finger knuckle: December, 31

I think it depends a lot on where and when you grew up. Afaik in China it’s very much uncommon to be able to swim.

I’m not sure what to tell you, other than that yes, you can simply take your hands off the handle bars on most bikes if you’re going fast enough.

That is true for most current “self driving” systems, because they are all just glorified assist features. Tesla is misleading its customers massively with their advertisement, but on paper it’s very clear that the car will only assist in safe conditions, the driver needs to be able to react immediately at all times and therefore is also liable.

However, Mercedes (I think it was them) have started to roll out a feather where they will actually take responsibility for any accidents that happen due to this system. For now it’s restricted to nice weather and a few select roads, but the progress is there!

Definitely JS if you want to also have a website. Use electron to turn your website into an executable for the desktop. Python+qt is ok for Desktop apps, but does not work for a website.

Languages that compile to wasm would also be an option, (e.g. https://egui.rs with rust), but as far as i am aware none of the languages you’ve listed are in that set. (Only go would even be a contender between python, ruby, js and go)

Eh it’s not that great.

One million Blackwell GPUs would suck down an astonishing 1.875 gigawatts of power. For context, a typical nuclear power plant only produces 1 gigawatt of power.

Fossil fuel-burning plants, whether that’s natural gas, coal, or oil, produce even less. There’s no way to ramp up nuclear capacity in the time it will take to supply these millions of chips, so much, if not all, of that extra power demand is going to come from carbon-emitting sources.

If you ignore the two fastest growing methods of power generation, which coincidentally are also carbon free, cheap and scalable, the future does indeed look bleak. But solar and wind do exist…

The rest is purely a policy rant. Yes, if productivity increases we need some way of distributing the gains from said productivity increase fairly across the population. But jumping to the conclusion that, since this is a challenge to be solved, the increase in productivity is bad, is just stupid.

Ja, die Kommentare sind teilweise echt nur Dampf ablassen, ohne sich wirklich sinnvoll mit der Materie zu beschäftigen.

Seilbahnen können in Nischensituationen tatsächlich ein super Bestandteil des ÖPNV sein. Kaum Platzbedarf, fährt (je nach System) durchgängig, also keine Wartezeit wie bei Bussen, höher Personendurchsatz, etc. Seilbahnen sind ja auch in manchen Städten auf der Welt so im Einsatz, ist jetzt nichts bahnbrechend (ha!) Neues.

Und es ist ein Seilbahn-Kongress. Wie Wissing da “Schirmherr” wurde kann ich nicht beurteilen, vielleicht ist es purer Lobbyismus. Aber es ist auch total plausibel, dass der Kongress halt einfach den Verkehrsminister für eine kurze Rede etc ergattern konnte. Und was soll man dann sagen “danke für die Einladung liebe Seilbahnfreunde, aber ihr Produkt ist scheiße”?

Alternatively the y axis could be “blog posts not about …”
