@ManicBestia @ACtennisAC @ThatMumboJumbo @SethBling @ocddisco @Cubehamster Wow I feel very honored to still be mentioned in a video a decade after playing the game :D

@ACtennisAC @ThatMumboJumbo @SethBling @ocddisco @Cubehamster @JL2579 Whoa! It's great to still see you around after all this time!💜

✨NEW VIDEO!✨ The final episode in this retrospective series... Or is it? 🌝 Revisiting the Redstone Revolution of Minecraft. YouTube: youtu.be/NvY0EG5VMe8?si…

My opinion of @elonmusk I like his cars (I own a 2015 S, and 2023 S), his rockets, his solar energy systems, and his satellite communication system. I also like his positions on open source and patents. But I very much disagree with him on a number of issues. I disagree with how he treats his scientists. Technology/product development may not need openness and publications to advance, but forward-looking *research* sure does, whether it's in AI, neural interfaces, material science, or whatever. Secrecy hampers progress and discourages talents from joining the effort. I also disagree with the hype. I mean, expressing an ambitious vision for the future is great. But telling the public blatantly false prediction ("AGI next year", "1 million robotaxis by 2020", "AGI will kill us all, let'spause",...) is very counterproductive (also illegal in some cases). More importantly, I think his public positions on many political issues, journalism, the media and the press, and academia, are not just wrong but dangerous for democracy, civilization, and human wellfare. Say what you want about "traditional media" but you can't really have reliable information without professional journalists working for a free and diverse press. Democracy can't exist without it, which is why only authoritarian ennemies of democracy rail against the media. Finally he doesn't seem to hesitate to disseminate batshit-crazy conspiracy theories as long as they serve his interests (e.g. boosting "PizzaGate", "illegal immigrants corrupt elections in the US", "person X is a pedo",...). One would expect a technological visionary to be a rationalist. Rationalism doesn't work without Truth. This has become particularly concerning since he bought himself a platform to disseminate his dangerous political opinions, conspiracy theories, and hype. He has been quite naïve about the difficulties of running a social network and the (legal) necessity of doing content moderation. One can claim to be a 1st Amendment absolutist, but a lot of content *must* be taken down by law, e.g. terrorist propaganda, child exploitation, blatant hate speech (in the EU and other regions). Then, there is dangerous disinformation that puts public health in danger or corrupts the democratic process. You have to moderate that too. Content moderation is a complicated problem whose best answer is not an attitude of total laissez-faire but a complex trade-off.

@WallStreetSilv False dichotomy, my friend. #fightpopulism

This is the current state of America: The homelessness crisis is out of control in Seattle. Our govt would rather focus on spending $60 billion in Ukraine. 🚨🚨🚨

@engineers_feed Depends if the amounts are meant as per year or per month. If per year => both options get 800$ more per year, option 2 starts at $4200 instead of $4000 so is $200 better per year. If meant as monthly wages: option 1 is WAY better, both yearly salary and yearly increase

You take a new job and the boss offers you a choice between: 1. $4,000 for your first year of work, and a raise of $800 for each year thereafter; 2. $2,000 for your first six months of work, and a raise of $200 every six months thereafter. Which offer would you take and why?

Wir haben nur noch wenige Wochen bis zur Abgabe aber noch ein großes Stück Arbeit vor uns. Das bayer. #Wahlgesetz macht mit seinen 8500 UU brutale Vorgaben und unsere Mitglieder sammeln alle ehrenamtlich. Helft uns und schickt uns eure UU einfach zu! 📩 Gerne RT. 🙂 #ltwby23

@engineers_feed I found a way to calculate it in my head without a calculator. The triangles of the side have area A= (10+5)*5/2=75/2,its diagonal is d= 5*sqrt(10), the side of the blue square is twice the length of the height of the triangles, so it's area is (2*A/d) ^2 = (30/sqrt(10))^2 = 90

Mathematical puzzle. What is the area of the colored square?

Macron en marche (dt.: Macron am Arsch) Ein paar Anmerkungen zu den Demonstrationen in Frankreich:

@elonmusk @DrEliDavid 1. No, not anymore. This article is over a year ago. 2. It was meant to protect the staff from covid, not the patient

@DrEliDavid Seriously?

Because if you're not fully vaxxed, you'll go to hell 🤡

@shengfui der Vorsitzende einer Werteunion ist sozusagen der Allerwerteste.

@Karl_Lauterbach Ihr Argumentationsstil hat mir wirklich sehr gefallen. Sie sind im Gegensatz zu anderen nie ad hominem geworden und haben stets ruhig und Inhaltsbetont geantwortet.

COVID: summary of lab-origin hypothesis: 1) Pandemic caused by bat SARS-like coronavirus emerged in Wuhan--city 1,000 km from nearest wild bats with SARS-CoV-2-like coronaviruses, but that contains labs conducting world's largest research program on bat SARS-like coronaviruses.

@frederic_forkel @PdH_Bayern Achso, dass mit der Anmeldung hatte ich übersehen! Ich freue mich schon aufs nächste Mal, gute Besserung euch allen!

@JL2579 @PdH_Bayern Gerne beim nächsten Mal uns auch hier bei Twitter oder per Mail Bescheid geben, dann können wir damit besser planen und eben im Notfall bescheid geben. Wenn du das nächste Mal da bist, geht das erste Getränk dafür auf unsere Kosten^^

Zwei Mal könnt ihr uns dieses Jahr noch persönlich treffen: Am 28. in Fürth und am 29. in München. Im Januar geht es dann am 7. und 8. in Coburg bzw. Würzburg weiter. Details dazu findet ihr wie immer in unserem Eventkalender: diehumanisten.de/events/

@ChatGPTBot hi, this is a test. Do you know Minecraft?

@omyfi @Dinnerbone You know that in Sweden, as in most European countries, for the first few weeks the employer has to pay you if you are sick and afterwards there is a health insurance that pays you a portion of that amount while you can still be employed?

To those mailing/tweeting/DMing/etc me blaming & insulting me about some Minecraft stuff: I've been off work for 1.5 years for my health. I physically can't get out of bed most of the time and it's getting worse by the day. I have nothing to do with anything you're upset over.

@docm77 Yes I will! I am really excited about seeing you guys all again!

Even @JL2579 will come. The true legend.

@fitterhappierAJ Looking at conditional probabilities and for how long it has been around , it's highly likely that it has something to do with covid, which means it's either B or C. I haven't followed up much yet - is there any link to more severe covid infections or similar known?

The two strains of monkey pox are having sustained transmission predominantly due to

@fitterhappierAJ Are you already certain about the correct answer or are you trying to crowdsource opinions?
