Because I stole this meme from some guy on LinkedIn (of all places) who choose to generate it with nano-banana.

Technically at least YouTube shorts and other short video formats run on people who try to grab attention to market their onlyfans.

As a (data) scientist I am not super familiar with most databases, but duckdb is great for what I need it for.

This is a bluesky screenshot, not a twitter screenshot. This is to show, where I reposted this from.

If you can tariff penguin island you could also tariff polars, which isn’t slow.

Code Didn’t Break — They Did

Text encoding ‘standards’ were clearly the devil’s work, handed down to humanity to sow chaos and suffering.

Na, that is just historically inaccurate. The original Macintosh team collected their stories/memoires at folklore.org, which give you a pretty good overview of his talents. He was really mercurial and Woz was the better engineer, but played a really important role in the vision/design of computers as we know them today. In the original Mac team others did the engineering and Jobs never claimed to be and engineering type of person, but he had a good feel on the importance of design, clear visual metaphors and good interaction design and pushed the team relentlessly into that direction.

It did depend a little bit, what kind of machine/production line he was working on. Before he retired, he worked for an automation engineering company and had different projects in other EU countries, and tried to be understandable for people in those places. He once even coded some Siemens control panel for an aluminum oven loading robot in the czech republic and tried to translate everything to czech with a dictionary (to have the panel info available in czech,english and German). He did of course speak to the foreman of the workers to get it correct.

My dad used that a lot to program Siemens Step5 and Step7 PLCs. I think it was German but names were 8 chars since this was straight from the 80s. When he fixed old machines or updated them with new PLCs he had to do full rewrites a few times because nothing was documented in old school machinery.

And twitching like crazy from his ketamine habit at the inauguration.

The German car companies are very afraid of Chinese retaliatory tariffs on luxury cars.

We keep with the old Reddit tradition to regularly post pictures of Lake Bled post the exodus? Great!

At least you only have to sink one Bayesian Superyacht to update your priors. To get at population parameters you would need to sink many Frequentist Superyachts

I was on a holiday in the Cinque Terre in Italy with my wife a few years ago. Because of a rainy day we decided to take a train to Genua and visit some museums. At the maritime museum I randomly met an Italian coworker/coauthor from my research institute in Germany, who was visiting his family in his hometown with his wife.

Edward Teller is just the kind of scientist you need to build civil engineering projects out of doomsday devices.

The people over at NCD must be getting raging hardons just from seeing this.

In Germany, you can’t currently deport anyone just for expressing extremist views. However, recently there were demonstrations in Hamburg where about 1,000 people marched to advocate for a caliphate and Sharia law in Germany, which led to a public debate about exactly this. However, this isn’t about Palestine but about anti-constitutional extremism. Some state interior ministers are now advocating to explicitly outlaw this kind of islamist extremism, potentially paving the way for easier deportations for those advocating for a caliphate in Germany. Here’s a german article on the topic.
