It's one of the cases where I actually ended up buying the extra levels back then.

aber Bildung sollte doch erstmal jedem ermöglicht werden. Eigentlich auch Nazis, denn es sollte doch die Chancen erhöhen dass die ihre Ideologie vielleicht überwinden.

Bildung ja, Lehre nein - und Hiwis sind halt nunmal unter anderem auch Lehrkraefte.

I haven't been TUI only for roughly two decades now - that's around the time the server got properly usable.

I typically have a daemon running - on Linux via systemd user session, on MacOS via launchd, on Windows via startup. I then attach GUI frames to that, and - at least on the unix style platforms - typically have a tmux with a TUI frame running.

I have scripts to open files in emacs - that's easy configurable to either open in the last used frame, or attach a TUI frame in the terminal, and open it there. I also have the EDITOR variable set to those scripts.

When fully using emacs you'd probably end up doing more work in emacs, and only occasionally wanting to do shell call outs.

For example, I edit some project, commit it via magit, trigger a build via compile to pack things up, open dired to move the files to a publish location, then open dired at the publish location and modify the publish package from there, and then finally start a shell in that directory to trigger the publish workflow. Only slight annoyance with that is that out of the box emacs shells are not setup for that kind of multiple shell buffers in specific directiories with easy throwaway - but it's easy enough to make that work.

Ich kenn die Situation in Daenemark nicht, aber vermute dass die da aehnliches machen wie in anderen nordischen Laendern. Eine niedriger Prozentsatz an Migranten in einer Klasse ist durchaus wuenschenswert da das bei der Integration hilft - aber er wird eben nicht durch Quoten erreicht, sondern durch andere Integrationsbestrebungen.

Geht z.B. schon damit los dass man bei Personen mit Wohnberechtigungsschein oder aehnlichem schaut dass man die halbwegs gleichmaessig auf Siedlungen verteilt statt in Ghettos abzuschieben - damit hast du dann auch fast automatisch die entsprechende Mischung fuer Schulen. Damit das funktioniert braeuchtest du aber eben Mischviertel wo Einfamilienhaeuser, Reihenhaeuser und Wohnblocks gemischt sind, und bei den Bauformen dann auch wieder Mischung fuer Eigenbedarf und gefoerderte Wohnungen.

Ist hier das Standardviertel, in Deutschland gibts das glaub ich eher selten.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern war DDR - da haben sie Land enteignet, zusammengefasst, und von der Kollektive als riesige Flaechen bewirtschaftet.

In Westdeutschland hast du das weniger und kam spaeter - da wurden dann die Felder von Bauern die aufgegeben haben aufgekauft und zusammengefasst.

Ich wohne ausserhalb von Deutschland - wir kommen halt immer mal zum Verwandtschaft besuchen, und machen dann auf dem Rueckweg noch diverse Stadtbesuche.

Nahverkehr als Besucher war in vielen Deutschen Staedten eh schon beschissen - via Telefon fuer Gelegenheitbenutzer ist ein riesen Aufwand oder geht gar nicht (irgendeine Stadt wollte vor ein paar Jahren sogar dass ich fuer Aktivierung der Anwendung zu deren Buergeramt gehen sollte. Wir sind dann Auto gefahren), und die Automaten sind oft unbedienbar, bzw, haben nicht alle Informationen die man als Besucher braeuchte um zu wissen welches Ticket man braucht. Um das noch interessanter zu machen wird dann teilweise auch nur Bargeld angenommen.

Mit den Waffenverboten dazu (unter das mein Taschenmesser auch faellt) ist es dann praktisch ueberall stressfreier einfach mit dem Auto in die Naehe der Innenstadt zu fahren, und den Rest zu laufen.

This uses the tool support from gptel to let any LLM with tool support

  • search my bbdb for contact info
  • perform a bbdb search for all contacts with an anniversary field
  • use gnus to compose an email

plus a few helper functions to make it useful (like giving it the ability to query the current date).

The tool definition it used in the above screenshot are:

(defun gptel-tool--get-date ()
  "Return the current date"
  (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d"))

(defun gptel-tool--compose-email (to-address subject text)
  "Open an email compose buffer '*new message*' to to-address with subject subject."
  (gnus-setup-message 'message (message-mail to-address subject))
  (insert (concat "\n" text)))

(defun gptel-tool--bbdb-search (name)
  "Search bbdb for NAME"
  (bbdb-search (bbdb-records) :name name))

(defun gptel-tool--bbdb-search-anniversary (anniversary-type)
  "Search bbdb for anniversary with ANNIVERSARY-TYPE"
  (let ((bbdb-default-xfield 'anniversary))
    (bbdb-search (bbdb-records) :xfield anniversary-type)))

And they get registered with the following code:

      (gptel-make-tool
       :function #'gptel-tool--get-date
       :name  "gptel-tool--get-date"
       :description "Use to get the current date in %Y-%m-%d format. After calling this tool, stop. Then continue fulfilling user's request."
       :category "emacs")

      (gptel-make-tool
       :function #'gptel-tool--compose-email
       :name  "gptel-tool--compose-email"
       :description "Open an email compose buffer and set subject, to-address and body. After calling this tool, stop. Then continue fulfilling user's request."
       :args (list '(:name "to-address"
                           :type string
                           :description "The address to send to")
                   '(:name "subject"
                           :type string
                           :description "The mail subject")
                   '(:name "body"
                           :type string
                           :description "The body text of the email"))
       :category "emacs")

      (gptel-make-tool
       :function #'gptel-tool--bbdb-search
       :name  "gptel-tool--bbdb-search"
       :description "Return a bbdb entry for name, or nil if not found. After calling this tool, stop. Then continue fulfilling user's request."
       :args (list '(:name "name"
                           :type string
                           :description "The name to search for"))
       :category "emacs")

      (gptel-make-tool
       :function #'gptel-tool--bbdb-search-anniversary
       :name  "gptel-tool--bbdb-search-anniversary"
       :description "Return or a specific anniversary type. After calling this tool, stop. Then continue fulfilling user's request."
       :args (list '(:name "anniversary-type"
                           :type string
                           :description "The anniversary to search for, for example 'birthday' for birthdays"))
       :category "emacs")

Recall is a legal term for the car industry which includes stuff like reporting obligations. So if the defect meets the severity level of a recall it should be called as such, even if it is 'just' a software update. Ambiguous terms for safety violations are dangerous and may cost lives.

The annoying aspect from somebody with decades of IT experience is - what should happen is that crowdstrike gets sued into oblivion, and people responsible for buying that shit should have an epihpany and properly look at how they are doing their infra.

But will happen is that they'll just buy a new crwodstrike product that promises to mitigate the fallout of them fucking up again.

Screenshots of the UI changes on the Mac - in my opinion it is now just wasting a lot of screen estate for zero benefit.

On non-Macs they're adding an extra usability issue by hiding the top menu bar. I've gove back to 2.7.4 for now - fortunately I had my configuration in git.

Up to 2.7.4:

2.8.4:

Intel is well known for requiring a new board for each new CPU generation, even if it is the same socket. AMD on the other hand is known to push stuff to its physical limits before they break compatibility.

Making an exception for one organisation, pressured by politicians, would be harmful. BBC has the following policy about neutral reporting:

We don't use loaded words like "evil" or "cowardly". We don't talk about "terrorists". And we're not the only ones to follow this line. Some of the world's most respected news organisations have exactly the same policy

Vor ein paar Tagen gabs hier ein Post zu Deutschlandwochen im Lidl in Italien, wo einer aus Schweden und ich mich ueber das Layout gewundert haben.

Jetzt sind auch hier Deutschlandwochen - und anscheinend wurde generell das Packungslayout geaendert - frueher war das alles "Alpenfest", jetzt "taste of deutschland".

Einige Produkte haben sich auch geaendert - z.b. waren die Apfel/Kirsch/Pflaumenkuchen frueher grosse runde Kuchen, jetzt sinds mehrere Teile.

Und Maultaschen sind wieder nicht dabei.

This is OpenDalle with img2img to make an existing picture into a futuristic city.

I took this picture at work a while ago, and it reminded me of cities with brutalist architecture we see in movies now and then, so I tried to get it made into one:

Other interesting attempts:

Forcing it to stay closer to the source made things look more like a highschool cardboard model:

I recently had to add a Mac to my zoo of hardware I'm trying to do productive work on - which prompted me to clean up and document my environment variable importer, which had grown to platform specific functions with lots of code duplication.

On both Windows and MacOS I have properly configured shells with all relevant variables - so it makes sense to query them, instead of duplicating the logic how they create that configuration into Emacs.

On Linux that'd have worked too, but I also have the relevant variables in the systemd user session, and querying that is a tiny bit faster than launching a shell.

This was just a matter of time - and there isn't really that much the affected can do (and in some cases, should do). Shutting down that service is the correct thing - but that'll only buy a short amount of time: Training custom models is trivial nowadays, and both the skill and hardware to do so is in reach of the age group in question.

So in the long term we'll see that shift to images generated at home, by kids often too young to be prosecuted - and you won't be able to stop that unless you start outlawing most of AI image generation tools.

At least in Germany the dealing with child/youth pornography got badly botched by incompetent populists in the government - which would send any of those parents to jail for at least a year, if they take possession of one of those generated pictures. Having it sent to their phone and going to police for a complaint would be sufficient to get prosecution against them started.

There's one blessing coming out of that mess, though: For girls who did take pictures, and had them leaked, saying "they're AI generated" is becoming a plausible way out.

I was thinking about that when I was dropping my 6 year old off at some hobbies earlier - it's pretty much expected to have learned how to ride a bicycle before starting school, and it massively expands the area you can go to by yourself. When she went to school by bicycle she can easily make a detour via a shop to spend some pocket money before coming home, while by foot that'd be rather time consuming.

Quite a lot of friends from outside of Europe either can't ride a bicycle, or were learning it as adult after moving here, though.

edit: the high number of replies mentioning "swimming" made me realize that I had that filed as a basic skill pretty much everybody has - probably due to swimming lessons being a mandatory part of school education here.

My kids broke the flap on one of our sockets, so I had to look into getting them replaced.

Initially I tried to make them clip on to avoid having to remove the complete socket for future replacements, but that ended up either weakening the hinges too much, or making it impossible to attach it with the spring in the right position.

The gasket and O-ring are donated from the original flap:
