Where do you get paid for your lunch hour? I'm in Germany and while work life balance is certainly a thing here, more so than in the US, a paid lunch break is something I have never heard about.

Die Argumentation von Merz kannst du hoffentlich nicht ernst nehmen. Wenn man jede männliche Fehlbesetzung von Ministerposten so behandeln würde, dürfte man eigentlich nur noch Frauen an den Job lassen.

My Ampler E-Bike I bought 2 years ago. More than 5000 km later I still love it to bits.

Not sure if that counts as technology, but simple LED lights over my kitchen counter (mounted under the upper cabinets) were a pretty inexpensive purchase that made my life significantly better. I don't understand now how I was ever able to cook with just the ceiling lights on, it's absolutely terrible.

While that does seem to make sense, in my opinion it really just gives people more incentive to use a car. If you ban wild parking completely, that might be a different story. But just creating more and more space for cars is not going to solve the problem. The problem is that there are too many cars in the first place.

I'm from Germany too. Is it really?! I had never heard of that. It can't be a thing inside cities though, can it? I honestly can't even think of a place where it would make any sense. Surely shops that are located outside dense urban areas would try to make sure they have enough parking space anyway.

As a European, this is the first time I ever heard about parking minimums. What a horrible concept.

Sorry, sollte nicht unfreundlich sein. Ich sehe das einfach in letzter Zeit gefühlt immer häufiger und verstehe nicht so recht, woher das kommt, finde es irreführend. Wollte daher darauf hinweisen. Inhaltlich hast du ja wahrscheinlich Recht, also alles gut.

PS: dass du neu hier bist, konnte ich deinem Kommentar nicht ansehen. :P

Herzlich Willkommen ;)

Können wir bitte aufhören ± statt ≈ zu benutzen? Ich hab gerade viel zu lange überlegt warum die statistische Unsicherheit 27 Mio sein soll.

I have a foldable phone that also has a very slightly curved front screen (Honor Magic V2). It's perfect. You can barely see the curve, no weird reflections, it just feels very good in the hand, there are no sharp edges at all. Feels very smooth and nice to hold and use.

Some are really good (and some are awful - looking at you, "Flora Plant"). If they sell Bionella where you live, try it, it's vegan, organic and fair trade and it tastes just as good as Nutella.

based on weighted averages of ‘what people are saying’ with a little randomization to spice things up

That is massively oversimplified and not really how neural networks work. Training a neural network is not just calculating averages. It adjusts a very complex network of nodes in such a way that certain input generates certain output. It is entirely possible that during that training process, abstract mechanisms like logic get trained into the system as well, because a good NN can produce meaningful output even on input that is unlike anything it has ever seen before. Arguably that is the case with ChatGPT as well. It has been proven to be able to solve maths/calculating tasks it has never seen before in its training data. Give it a poem that you wrote yourself and have it write an analysis and interpretation - it will do it and it will probably be very good. I really don't subscribe to this "statistical parrot" narrative that many people seem to believe. Just because it's not good at the same tasks that humans are good at doesn't mean it's not intelligent. Of course it is different from a human brain, so differences in capabilities are to be expected. It has no idea of the physical world, it is not trained to tell truth from lies. Of course it's not good at these things. That doesn't mean it's crap or "not intelligent". You don't call a person "not intelligent" just because they're bad at specific tasks or don't know some facts. There's certainly room for improvement with these LLMs, but they've only been around in a really usable state for like 2 years or so. Have some patience and in the meantime use it for all the wonderful stuff it's capable of.

I disagree, at least as someone who knows some Python but isn't a pro programmer, ChatGPT saves me tons of time when writing little scripts. I used it to write a little tool with a GUI that I now use all the time in like 3 hours which would have taken me days without ChatGPT.

Oh no, proice inflietion.

Ja, es ist schon deutlich besser als vor ein paar Jahren. Hat aber noch Luft nach oben. ;)

Ja, sinnlose neue Features können sie ganz gut. Uralte Bugs fixen und grundlegende Funktionen ermöglichen nicht so sehr...

Ja doch, das geht. Nutze mittlerweile Telegram und Signal parallel weil einige Kontakte noch nur bei Telegram sind. Im Prinzip kann man alles mit beidem machen, aber Signal hat halt so ein paar Einschränkungen, bei denen man sich fragt, was die eigentlich rauchen, dass die das nach Jahren immer noch nicht gefixt haben.

Was meinst du mit zwei Sessions? Signal synchron auf Smartphone und PC geht auf jeden Fall. Funktioniert aber nur gut wenn du es am PC auch regelmäßig nutzt bzw laufen hast, weil es sonst immer ewig Nachrichten vom Smartphone nachladen muss.

Und beide Clients, Smartphone und Desktop, sind halt meilenweit schlechter als Telegram. Aber man gewöhnt sich dran...

I keep telling myself I need to start using a password manager but I'm worried I won't be able to log into things on my phone or other devices like my work computer when I need to because I don't know the password. Is that a legitimate worry or is there a solution for this? How do you sync passwords between computer and phone?
