  • 35-year old Heidegger slid into the DMs of 18-year old Ahrendt as her professor. This was way before you were cancelled for 'sleeping with students' or for 'being a fascist' was a thing.

  • What is your favourite breakfast food?

    Jump

  • I usually eat a simple Porridge, but if I want to make something fancy on a weekend I make pancakes for my family.

  • When is the last time you witnessed a real life situation where you were like "Wait, what? No."

  • Yeah but people are highly aware of it and there is even a disclaimer in Email Signatures that everything is tracked. If you are dealing with government ministries in European countries some of the (unofficial) information exchange is done without written record, either at in-person conferences or even through non-work phones.

  • Highly illegal in the EU. Also highly stupid everywhere else. The big question is "How secure is your user espionage system and can an outsider get acces?". The data from something like this is a social engineering goldmine.

  • What are your favorite examples of 'media within media' (e.g., shows, stories, or movies inside of other shows or books)?

  • You're taking a vacation from normalcy. The setting, a weird motel where the bed is stained with mystery, and there's also some mystery floating in the pool. Your key card may not open the exercise room because someone smeared mystery on the lock, but it will open... The Scary Door.

  • If you could time travel, what would you change ?

  • Smoking was discovered independently in many cultures with different substances used by different cultures. In the Americas, it was tobacco, while the Scythians of Central Asia used cannabis in ritualistic hotboxes, as evidenced by archaeological finds of smoking tools in kurgans. Other regions, like India and Southeast Asia, saw the smoking of opium and herbs.

  • In this scenario Lenin does not manage to take over Russia and the warning to the world by the real life examples of Germany and Italy about the dangers of fashism does not happen either. Authoritarianism raises its ugly head later in a world with better weapons and more destructive potential for humanity.

  • If Lemmy was a physical place, what would it look like?

    Jump

  • It is one of this places that were built by anarchists without any license and look, smell and feel quite funky. The audience though is really nerdy. So the closest that comes to mind is a Hacker space in a large European city.

  • To be very German, here is my favourite Max Planck quote: Scientific Progress marches on one funeral at a time.

    Perhaps it was meant like that. And the old guard that disliked his papers is now dead and progress has been made.

  • What's the craziest thing you have ever seen someone do on public transit?

    Jump

  • I did not expect the sheer amount of posts from Americans about mentally ill people or drug users. I taught this would get more vibes, like people moving weird furniture in trams, or people in weird costumes, or stuff like that.

  • What do people really ask chatbots? It’s a lot of sex and homework.

    Jump

  • For a user without much technical experience using a ready-made gui like Jan.ai with automatic model download and ability to run models with the ggml library on consumer grade hardware like mac M-series chips or cheap GPUs by either Nvidia or AMD is probably a good start.

    For a little bit more technically proficient users Ollama is probably a great choice to start to host your own OpenAI-like API for local models. I mostly run gemma2 or small llama 3.1 like models with that.

  • Computer nerds of Lemmy, do you also enjoy comparing natural systems to large codebases in programming? What are your favorite peculiar similarities?

    Jump

  • Did not know that. But there's still gotta be some legacy code that is not really needed for humans somewhere. Perhaps some stuff in our genes that's just there and no one really knows what good it does, like some obscure dependency in conputer code
