Today on New Living Internet Translations:

Do not post in anger, do not get mired in a flamewar because you’re mad online. If a comment is in your cause’s favor, then post it; if it’s not then FFS stop. Anger can be replaced by cat pics, the maddest online can still learn to touch grass — but a banned account isn’t getting unbanned, and the people who blocked you aren’t gonna unblock. Watch yourself, bro.

— Sun Tzu’s Art of Social Media

Apparently RAM prices are going through the roof, both DDR5 and earlier DDRs, because thanks LLMs, and they're expected to stay that way for maybe all of 2026¹. I guess my 2018 home desktop gets to stay being my desktop for another year or two.

(It's not like it's suffering from performance issues, although it does now take 45+ minutes to build Firefox.)

¹ Oh look, another reason to hope for an LLM crash that guts the demand for new GPUs with lots of RAM.

In der Schule, in der ich als Teilhabeassistenz arbeite, nutzen sowohl Lehrkräfte als auch Schulleitung vollkommen unkritisch generative K"I" (ChatGPT).

Ich erinnere mich noch, wie feindlich Lehrkräfte zu meiner Schulzeit ggü. Informationen aus dem Internet eingestellt waren, insbesondere Wikipedia ("nicht zitierfähig" - ok, aber gut als erster Überblick und vertiefend könnten eben verlinkte Quellen genutzt werden).

Dabei werden im Vergleich zu generiertem Datendurchfall solche Inhalte von denkenden Personen erstellt, bearbeitet, überprüft. Hingegen werden die umfangreichen Nachteile von generativem Zeug ignoriert oder sind nicht bekannt (?).

Würde es gern fundierter ansprechen - aber wie umsetzen, ohne dass es zu umfangreich wird, trotzdem wesentliche Kritikpunkte enthält, wenn Betreffende davon begeistert sind (also Kritik vllt. persönlich nehmen könnten)? Und ich bin auch noch nicht so lang dort. 🤔

So I’m quickly running out of non-caffeinated herbal teas/tisanes that aren’t bedtime teas to have in the afternoon.

What are your favorite non-caffeinated (not decaffeinated) teas that aren’t overwhelmingly fruity? Bagged in paper or loose.

Da gerade viel über den Lobbyverband „Die Familienunternehmer“ geschrieben wird. Und da auch vieles durcheinander geht… Nein, diese Organisation vertritt nicht „die Interessen von 180.000 Familienunternehmen“. Tatsächlich gibt es 6500 Mitglieder, darunter BMW & Merck.

Mitglieder und ヘ Organisationsstruktur Laut eigenen Angaben hat die Organisation der deutschen „Familienunternehmen" rund 6500 Mitglieder, 16 und vertritt somit rund 0,2 Prozent der rund drei Millionen Familienunternehmen in Deutschland. 131 Die Organisation nimmt für sich in Anspruch 180.000 Unternehmen „alle[r] Branchen und Unternehmensgrößen" zu repräsentieren. 2

In "Gödel, Escher, Bach" there's a passage about record players where Hofstadter posits that every machine has a particular crafted input which is inimical to its design. For my particular connecteome, this is the accurate spelling of the words: Gingrich, bureaucracy, Caribbean

The YouTuber F4mi recently made a great video about why modern user interfaces in games have gotten so bland in recent generations, and went into great detail about the market and management forces which restrict creativity in the UX space.

I chimed in in the comments about more of the technical reasons why flat vector art has become the norm in games. F4mi liked the input, but a whole bunch of randos hopped on to say shit like “IDK I think you’re all just dumb and lazy. Just make better menus”

"Suddenly, media outlets seem to have figured out that President Donald Trump is really, really unpopular. There’s been a palpable shift in the discourse: The New York Times reports that Republicans are quietly looking beyond Trump, suggesting he’s losing his grip on the party."

They said it couldn't be done!* But it's getting close! Search match styling will change, and there is no GUI for this yet. But we now have an end-to-end connection between the renderer, input stack, and search internals.

*: Nobody said it couldn't be done.

I don't remember many details; I had lost my family in an accident less than a year before, and my brother, who always told me how to get around, wasn't there to help me. I walked around the block of the Rectorate twice until I found the place to submit my registration and documents :) I went through the procedure mechanically, choosing 5 courses: physics, calculus, chemistry, language, and the optional course was Fortran. I left relieved and in a hurry: I want to go back home.
