Yeah, but there’s a huge difference between burning it in a motor with particle filters and catalytic converters and uncontrolled combustion creating literal tons of soot, uncombusted aerosols, NOx and SOx.
I’m also on Mastodon

Now, it’s got a similar meaning to veteran. But it comes from back when all you had against disease were thoughts and prayers.
The seasoned ones were those that were left and well enough to fight after disease spread through camp.
This is supposed to be a manifesto? This is just a vacuous, rambling, self-important list of grievances.
While this does make me uncomfortable, it shows me that the leaders of this company can’t formulate coherent thoughts, much less a strategy.


Soon to learn what “seasoned” troops means.


Some of your bills in your pocket may come from the vendor A, some may come from an ATM. So the bank knows some of the bills you got.
Vendor B might go shopping somewhere, or deposit his cash in a bank. Or put in a sorting machine that scans the serial numbers.
You pay B with some bills from A and some bills from the ATM. And now the bank can connect all three dots. The transactions aren’t completely transparent, but aren’t truly anonymous anymore.


Cash is not anonymous. The serial numbers are being used for tracking.


The environment hates this trick!


You have to pick between two systems to ally with.
One is xenophobic, imperialistic, corrupt, harasses its neighbors, sees itself as the best country on earth, has zero regard for human rights and plans long-term.
The other is xenophobic, imperialistic, corrupt, harasses its neighbors and allies, sees itself as the best country on earth, has zero regard for human rights and does the fuck it wants.
Choose wisely.


Art of the deal, ladies and gentlemen.


Disco Elysium habe ich so gefeiert, und bei den Nachrichten rund um die Entwickler habe ich’s abgehakt, dass es je einen Nachfolger geben wird. Da setz ich direkt auf die Wunschliste!
Seit ein paar Jahren arbeite ich nicht mehr als Entwickler. Wie ist es so? Spielt KI eine Rolle bei der Arbeit?


According to the article
The image showed a lunch tray that was largely empty with only a small portion of shredded meat and a folded tortilla.
But I’d never imagine that grey slice of whatever could be edible.


A kindred soul! I’m in my fifties and I’ve got this thing that when there’s a little stream blocked with leaves I feel it as my duty to disinhibit the flow.
And God it’s so embarrassing when other people notice me.
That looks a lot like Organic Maps 🤔. Oh, I see, it’s a fork.


Son’s been playing Zelda BOTW and I thought that game is right up my alley, how could I’ve missed it?
Set up the Switch emulator on the Steam Deck and goddamn that game’s a time sink!


Der Sohn ist gerade in der ADHS-Diagnose und einiges was er durch macht ist mir sehr vertraut - da kommt man schon ins Grübeln.
Vor ein paar Monaten war ich (52) in Reha wegen Depression - die Therapeutin fragte mich unvermittelt ob bei mir nicht in der Kindheit auf ADHS getestet wurde. Naja, damals war das einfach noch kein Thema. Habe die Empfehlung bekommen, eine Diagnose anzugehen.
Gestern habe ich mit ne Kollegin gesprochen (Anfang 60) und gefragt wie sich selbst organisiert. Dass sie ADHS hat, hört man schon nach dem zweiten Halbsatz. Leider hatte sie kein Geheimrezept, sondern nur viel Disziplin und Anstrengung. Es war krass zu hören, wie sie seit Jahren dazu steht, damit umgeht und drunter leidet. Interessant auch zu hören, dass es nicht wenige Betroffene im Betrieb gibt.
Ich denke es gibt eine große Menge Leute, die sich durchwurchteln und arrangieren.


The current state of LLMs is financially and environmentally unsustainable. I’m sure that in short time, additional technologies like neurosymbolic AI will prevent hallucinations and improve efficiency. But will they help AI vendors become profitable?
They AI bubble might pop or fizzle, but we’ll see what developers do with their code bases when they don’t have their toys at their disposal anymore.
Habt ihr Mal im Suff ne Kippe falsch rum angezündet? Das ist Mal ein Geschmack!


What I don’t get is how are they going to prove that the ships paid toll? Especially if they are paid in crypto.
Oh, who am I fooling. They’ll just harass anything coming through. Or maybe not. Maybe depending on which flag the ship flies.
Man kann sich vieles wünschen - ich wünsche mir auch den Habeck wieder. Aber das ist schon affig. Wo war die Wirtschaft als Heizhammer-Bild und Linder die Ampel zerstört haben?
