Whenever someone from today's Gen Z generation tells me they're tired, I reply that I understand today's world is crazy (I have a brother who is 10 years younger, so I'm up to date with "we're a tired generation"), but imagine that I, at your age, studied two majors a day, I had three jobs (I worked in an advertising agency, partly in IT and worked casually in a company writing applications for EU funding) and in the meantime I paid off the loan for my first apartment.

@aeva there was a time when I slept for 3 hours at a time 😆 (coffee and sports kept me awake then). But insomnia is a serious matter, no kidding 💖

Happy ! 🇪🇺

Today, on 9 May, we celebrate our unity and solidarity.

A month ahead of the (6-9 June), it is the perfect day to share your wishes for Europe and reflect on which EU you want in the future.

It's time to get involved! → https://europa.eu/!8jtNqP

I cannot overstate how dangerous to free speech and a healthy democracy it is to redefine all anti-Zionism and criticism of the state of Israel as antisemitism. You know who's loudly critical of Zionism and the Israeli govt? Jews. A lot of Jews.

@evacide Constructive criticism is always needed for me there has never been and will never be a consensus to discriminate against Jews or paint the Star of David on front doors or stairwells, or better yet intimidate Jews who live in Europe. This has nothing to do with Zionists or anti-Zionists.

Anyone have advice on speech to text specifically for math and math equations? #math #k12education #assistivetechnology

@rickweinberg I used to test Equatio. It is an equation editor that provides various accessibility features, including speech input. https://www.texthelp.com/products/equatio/

Yes, it is a very interesting landscape that encompasses a wide range of techniques and technologies, including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision.

Process automation + change management are also important components of applications that can be used to automate repetitive tasks, streamline processes, and improve operational efficiency.

Also-also, LLMs are simply-slowly starting to bore me! ¯⁠\⁠⁠ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ⁠⁠/⁠¯

inspired by a random clickbait article:

Instead of talking about artificial intelligence, LLMs and AGI, we'd better start discussing change management and task architectures.

Like c'mon... , or Artificial Intelligence, refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. This can include tasks such as speech recognition, image processing, natural language understanding, decision-making, and more.

they: so what graphics programmers actually do?

me: well...move buffers around and transpile shaders + read a lot of stuff

by the bye, a rehash of shader languages: https://alain.xyz/blog/a-review-of-shader-languages

(cool but "⚠️" still in development #indiegame)—> https://store.steampowered.com/app/355750/Miegakure/ based on the principles of #4D geometry, generally the player is able to move in directions that are impossible in our everyday #3D world, such as passing through walls or observing objects from multiple angles. to achieve this, #Miekagure uses orthographic projection to flatten the 4D into a visible 3D representation (some of the techniques developed for the game have wider applications beyond gaming)

meanwhile...

Beijing has sent a large delegation to #Germany for the seventh German-Chinese government consultations. Chinese Premier Li Qiang is visiting Berlin along with nine other government representatives. But the two countries' expectations of the talks are extremely different.

"For China, the government consultations are important to show that they can cooperate," says capital correspondent Dana Heide. "For #China, therefore, the images/photos are the most important." 1/3

my current life-saving tool:

- an open-source browser that allows you to view documentation offline (store locally).

• inspired by Dash, an offline doc browser for macOS

• supports docsets for many programming languages like Python, JavaScript, C++, etc.

• simple and intuitive UI with syntax highlighting and search functionalities

• available for Linux and Windows (Dash is recommended for macOS)

I'm curious how this will work in practice, e.g. the statement "under-represented sex" does this include LGBTQI+ people? I can't find an official document anywhere, I would appreciate a link or a clarified answer: @EU_Commission

"40% of non-executive director posts should go to the under-represented sex" #womensrights #lgbtqia #lgbt

I really want to be wrong sometimes, unfortunately it rarely happens.

: “A Jewish man has been attacked by an unknown person in [...]”

“According to the press release, a stranger allegedly insulted him in German, shouted "Free Palestine" and pushed him to the ground. The unidentified man then allegedly grabbed an electric scooter standing on the side of the road and pushed it toward the victim, who was lying on the ground.” https://www.t-online.de/region/berlin/id_100400424/berlin-gesundbrunnen-jude-von-unbekanntem-attackiert-und-verletzt.html
