Das Wachstum lag halt unter der Inflation, somit ist ein Wachstum von 0,3% effektiv ein Rückgang.

Und ja, ich find die Begrifflichkeiten hier auch absolut schwachsinnig.

Alcohol reduces your emotional inhibitors and lowers your ability to think rational while simultaneously doing fuck all for your cortisol level. You are more likely to act on your dark thoughts under influence.

The only “benefit” for your mood is a short increase in serotonin levels, but that high only lasts if you keep drinking, otherwise your level normalizes in the next hour or so.

If a shot or two of Bourbon really affects your mood to a significant degree, then you are already dependent on alcohol and you were on edge cause you didn’t get your fix for the day.

Even etsy creators advertise their more profitable products instead of things that barely sell. Apart from the top banner on the store page everything steam advertises is based on demand, calculated by sales numbers and whishlists, and relevance to your library.

Even decentralized platforms like Lemmy operate under this exact principal, a decentralised gamestore would show you the same games as steam does.

If you want to see everything, you are free to set your steam store to new releases. Have fun sifting trough hundreds of cash grabs and “garbage” first time passion projects to find a single interesting game.

The issue is that they can just reuse the existing art once they’ve “removed” the poison that was used on it. The artworks with poison in them aren’t forever inaccessible to them, they just get them slightly later.

That doesn’t mean we should stop, but it still is a war that we ultimately can’t win. Even if the poison technology advances faster than the AI companies are, they can simply use slightly older art with a less sophisticated version of poison.

It isn’t too surprising that some things get routed over general domains that the company already owns. Probably the facebook domain since they bought WhatsApp way before they rebranded to meta.

This for once isn’t anything malicious. Dunno if I would call it best practice, but they probably don’t intend to unbundle WhatsApp in the near future.

That are technically required cookies, they require explicit consent

I’m not even sure what that joke could’ve been

Educational entertainment, also referred to by the portmanteau edutainment

The word has been around since 1973 and is included in many dictionaries. If you want to correct someone, at least inform yourself beforehand.

Bei uns in der Nähe gibts Leitungen, an denen trotz Überlastung zwei neue Solarparks gebaut wurden. Hat dann halt dazu geführt, dass die maximal mit ~20% Leistung von den eigentlichen ca. 100MW pro Park einspeißen konnten. Das Gesetz hat also irgendwo seinen Sinn.

mMn wird halt mal wieder an der falschen Stelle geschraubt. Anstatt die Investoren zu vergraulen könnte man auch den (Ersatz-) Neubau von 110kV Leitungen vereinfachen, um 6-8 Jahre Genehmigungsverfahren loszuwerden.

Self checkouts don’t use agentic AIs / LLMs that hallucinate permanently. As mich as I hate AI, that’s one of the cases where the distinct types matter.

Image recognition software has been around for ages and was used for similar things way before the AI hype. The models used for selfcheckouts are highly specialised and have an error rate very close to 0%. That doesnt mean they can’t make any errors, but the same goes for human cashiers.

The microplastic is the least important point when it comes to food safe products. Sure microplastic is bad, and we have no real idea about the long term effects, but there are there are things that already have effects on your health in the short term:

A lot of different plastic types release actual toxins over time, especially when exposed to high heat, since that destroys the molecular bonds. Having food or water touch these toxins is a great way to absord them into your body.

Apart from that most 3D printed materials have micro ridges and air pockets that are the perfect place for bacteria to grow. That’s probably the worst thing to have in your kitchen.

The same can be said the other way round and is already the case. With the current veto power Hungary acts as a Russian proxy and blocks as many important desicions as possible.

I agree that it doesn’t help the corruption issues we already have and I think a simple majority shouldn’t be enough. But removing the veto power in favor of a supermajority of like 85-90% would make it feasible to stop dickheads like Orban without compromising too much. (Let’s face it, if you bought 90% of the EU, the last 10% shouldn’t be that big of an issue either).

That means letting them fail stuff, get detentions, get bullying, etc. kids need to be left to fail and learn for themselves how to deal.

I was one of these kids that didn’t get much support from their parents and had to solve most things alone. I felt every consequence when I was too late for something, when I couldn’t find the mental energy to concentrate on a given task or when I broke a social rule I didn’t even know of. The only thing it lead to was avoidance of certain situations/problems and masking of the underlying issues.

You seem “normal” from an outside perspective, but the issues are still there, just invisible to everyone else. And guess what, not treating/accommodateing chronic issues makes things worse, not better. Constantly masking takes a huge toll on your mental health. You basically learn that you yourself are the problem because the only way to ever get acknowledged for anything is by not being yourself. Combine that with all the social issues and bullying you experience due to not understanding the social contract and you get an adult with depression/burnout, an identity crisis and cPTSD as well as ADHD/Autism.

You then have to spend your 20/30s unlearning everything you learned due to the oh so glorious consequences in you childhood. Otherwise you just sink deeper into your hole.

Externally there is no possible way of really stopping him that wouldn’t lead to full on war considering how desperate he seems about declaring martial law. And no matter how pathetic the US is looking right now, they are sadly still the number one military might. (Maybe apart from China, what they lack in tech they definetly have in numbers).

A lot of nations already reduced trade relations, but that at most will lead to internal unrest. Most nations barely humor his antics, but there are also a lot of nations dependant on the US.

Internally the most likely candidates to dispose of him would be the rich and powerful oligarchs, but they are currently raking in trillions of profit for peanuts in bribes. The only two things left are either a military coup (which wasn’t that unlikely just a while ago), or a full on civil war.

It doesn’t have any desire, but its really good at “solving” problems in unexpected ways.

They are currently trying to improve their agentic AI by making the AI itself prompt other AIs. Considering how much the output of a single prompt can vary due to weights and hallucinations, it wouldn’t surprise me all that much if they started out with “make yourself better than Claude” and 4 AIs deep they reached “destroy all our competitors.”

Its by all means stupdid as fuck, but that corresponded with the entire AI Industrie, so who knows.

That would be a good argument if not for the simple fact that ai straight up lies to you.

And its not even a question of using a “good” or “bad” model. We have observed a mathematical constant that shows no matter how large of a model you use, you can’t get below a certain percent of hallucinations.

Its far less common because models got bigger (and more Ressource intensive), but it still happens too often.

Or to phrase it in a different way, would you use a calculator if you knew every 30th answer it gives is wrong?

had 10kwh battery, range of 150k

That doesn’t really math out, its like 3 times the efficiency that car manufacturers normally give, and they already assume optimal conditions.

That sounds more like a beach buggy with a battery bolted to the back and a top speed of 40 on an even road.

If the same combination is issued multiple times then no, they don’t work as intended.

The issue here wasn’t that the license plate was too colorful, it was that the missing national standardisation allows for over a thousand cars with the same plate.

Then make it 7 or 8 characters like most countries have. Its not like that wouldn’t fit on plates. With 8 chars you could remove 2/3 of all combinations and still have an order of magnitude in reserve.

Banks are the one thing that should use apps. Browsers have too many security issues.

The bigger issue is them using the google integrity bullshit, that’s not necessary.
