There's no way this is how Rumpelstilzchen is spelled in English...

duckduckgoes

IT IS. English takes every single French word, keeps its spelling but mangles the pronunciation but for Rumpelstilzchen the pronunciation is somehow more relevant than the spelling? It makes some sense, but the ending "stiltskin" is an abomination.

The meaning of "stilzchen" is "small stilt" by the way - so he should've be called "Grumblestilty" in English.

Yeah, no.

Maybe 20 years ago? But nowadays LEGO has worse quality than nearly any other brand, especially in terms of color consistency.

They can do so currently by making a couple of minor changes and settling for a pittance because your lawsuit would bankrupt you.

"Chaos" is a better system than one benefitting corporations only.

Imagine hugging someone with so many arms 🥺

Pretty decent news for us non-Americans tbh.

It'd be a real shame if fewer GPUs are sold in the US and more supply hits shelves across the rest of the world.

I genuinely think acquiring a mountain of plushies has improved my mental health. So humans aren't necessarily required to get (some) results!

Why would you need to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles for an ID though? For a driver's license I can somewhat understand but that should be the extent of their responsibilities.

Over here you go to your local registration office which basically every town has? It's the same office for registering where you live (which you are also legally required to do) - meaning there are more than enough of them around. For smaller towns they are usually located in town halls, larger cities have many of them spread around.

Honestly, you'd easily get significant adaption of IDs by just mandating them for everything. Want a bank account? Need an ID. Want to get a job? Need an ID. Want to get a driver's license? Need an ID. Are you older than 16? Believe it or not, need an ID.

If (nearly) everyone has an ID, it cannot be used as means for voter disenfranchisment.

Those are the results from the 2024 European Parliament Election.

Here are the results of the more relevant 2023 State Parliament Election:

The state government is right-wing conservatives with centrist-at-best "social" democrats. Both are very supportive of police cracking down on people who wouldn't have voted for them anyways.

Berlin is run by right-wing conservatives, not liberals. The federal government lacks authority for states deciding whom to deport.

Honest answer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Backpropagation was part of the course but not only did hardly anyone understand it (where did the 20 different variables in 10 derivatives come from???) it's also not a topic which can be adapated to exams easily.

So I ignored it and just learned back propagation exists and makes everything work.

It was a mostly theoretical course with some Python exercises to get at least some practice.

I mean I live reasonably close (i.e. <1 hour away) to RLP.

And I have passed my introduction to AI exam two weeks ago so I'm basically an expert.

Sounds like a great plan! Surely nothing will go wrong >:3
