Don’t call them windmill, they’re wind turbines. ☝️

A windmill uses wind power to mill grain. Using the correct terminology—“wind turbine” accurately reflects the technology’s role in renewable energy

I’m sorry that you seem to have given up on people. I still think discussing things is worthwhile but from your text I get the impression that you don’t believe in social discourse.

I think it’s a fact that people learn through and with language and that the symbols we humans use are what constructs our reality. So it’s very important what kind of language we use, how we use it and to be precise in our terms and vocabulary.

People are not readymade, everybody has to learn and learning never stops and people are not all on the same level. So no: not everyone knows the same, as you seem to assume.

It’s not semantic – it’s completely different things happening if there’s real consciousness and compassion present based on lifeforms on one hand or a mere simulation of that in form of a text output on the other hand that only superficially looks like there’s something intelligent.

People regularly fall for the illusion and project their own feelings into the machine while reading the text output of an LLM. Many are not capable of differentiating and the chatbots are designed in a way to make it more and more difficult to recognize synthetic output.

Humans are good in projecting their own feelings into things they see, just look at all the cat or dog owners who believe they can read the thoughts of their “babies” from their facial expressions.

LLMs/Chatbots confabulate statistically probable texts, there’s no compassion possible.

Don’t fall into the AI-marketing trap of “we don’t know what’s happening in the black box, so we have to assume there’s consciousness in there”. The systems produce convincing deceptive language, but all signs of intelligence or compassion anyone sees in them is just an anthropomorphic projection.

Ich kaufe alle Lebensmittel zu Fuß oder per Rad ein, ich habe Restaurants, Kneipen, Konzerte, Kino und Theater in Laufweite. Zur Arbeit fahre ich 4 km mit dem Rad. Ein Auto wird nur 2-3x pro Monat benötigt, einige Reisen pro Jahr wenn möglich auch mit der Bahn. Diese Flexibilität und Vielfalt hätte ich mit einem Wohnort aufm Land nicht so leicht. Stadtleben muss zugleich nicht bedeuten, entfernt von der Natur zu leben. In Garten und aufm Balkon pflege ich Pflanzen und baue Gemüse an. Und raus aus der Stadt geht’s eben auch mal schnell. Ich habe zwar mal mit einem Haus außerhalb der Stadt geliebäugelt, aber dann gemerkt, dass dann eben vieles umständlicher und weiter weg für mich wäre.

Ich lebe in einer Stadt, die mit dem Fahrrad erreichbar auch einen Garten, Wald, Felder und einen Strand bietet. Trubel mag ich auch nur bedingt.

Nein. Ein vernünftige Stadt ist viel lebenswerter.

Weisdu ich habe konkrede Fettarm von zu viel trinken fettarme Milch.

Wieviel Karat haben eigentlich die Nuggets?

In Berlin, only 3% of all registered cars are pure electric cars (numbers from 2024).

Speeds of 30 km/h lower the emissions of nitrogen oxide from cars with combustion engines. This happens because of significant reduction of pollutant-laden acceleration processes.

The reduction of emissions from such a speed limit is based on more uniform traffic flows.

This is not necessarily the case - it has been shown that slower car speeds in cities leads to better traffic flows and thus can lead to more efficiency of car travel, less traffic jams. So everyone driving slower can lead to more reliability and less average travel duration of cars.

+1 für Kachelmannwetter.

Für die Prognosen dort werden 20 verschiedene internationale Wettermodelle miteinander verrechnet und das Ergebnis ist stets sehr zuverlässig, zumal man dort Zugriff auf alle stundengenauen Details hat.

Es ist vom Design nicht so hübsch, aber wenn man sich da erstmal etwas orientiert hat, findet man dort die genauesten Informationen.

On Mt Everest your body becomes an exhibit, that’s more than most people can dream of.

This process started in 2021 already.

They will use GNU/Linux, LibreOffice, Nextcloud, Open Xchange (OX), Thunderbird and Univention AD-Connector.

The question is: how much impact do such shared experiences have? This is usually overinterpreted. Even with all people who experienced the Second World War, one cannot say that they all automatically share the same character traits. There are millions of other individual factors that also have a biographical and epigenetic impact and thus diversity will always arise.

These generational differences simply do not exist in the way that terms like “Gen X/Y/Z/Millennials” make them appear. Societies don’t work that way that everybody in a cohort has the same experiences and biographies.

These terms like “Gen X” or “Millennials” are just as meaningful as astrological signs. In other words: They aren’t.

These supposed generational differences are utter nonsense. There’s no scientific research behind them. There are always people with different experiences and biographical backgrounds, but no entire generation experiences the same background.

Isn’t it a function of Google Maps that anybody can submit changes to the business informations of a company listed there?

It’s like a wiki where all registered uses can suggest contributions.
