Und noch schwieriger, wenn der Ort selbst auch noch perspektivabhängig (von äh, tja..) ist: Bevor ein Herzog nach Herford hinzog, ist die Person nach Hinford hinfort?

Siehe auch Herz und Kunz

Genaugenommen auch ortsabhängig. Aus Sicht von da, wo die Person davor gewohnt hat, wäre sie ja Hinzog.

"save 40000 deaths" auch ein komisches konstrukt. nicht eher save lives oder prevent deaths?

shouldn't you rather use Indeo or something contemporary?

"Die Angehörigen meiner Generation können heute die ungeheuerliche Erscheinung wahrnehmen, daß gewisse Gedanken der fünfziger Jahre zu Personen geworden sind; als seien die Vorstellungen zu kompliziert und in ihren gegenseitigen Einwirkungen und in den Folgerungen zu unübersichtlich geworden, scheinen sie aus den Köpfen hinausgestellt, in der „Wirklichkeit“ nachgestellt, mit Menschen aufgeschrieben, die man leicht für bloße Zeichen hält."

my standard example for the selective nature of metaphors is from this, when Turing says: ".. we are not interested in the fact that the brain has the consistency of cold porridge."

Gebe dir im Prinzip Recht, aber ich weiß nicht, ob ausgerechnet Newsom das beste Beispiel dafür ist. Ich finde nicht, dass man ihm um des großen Ganzen Willen seine Transphobie oder seine Anti-Wohnungslosen-Politik durchgehen lassen sollte.

maybe if we – just to wean people off it – introduced a sycophantic chatbot verbosity level to most cli commands? "That's a great idea! Running rm -rf / now. Let me know if I can execute another command for you!"

result table of the most recent (2021) tobacco control scale, assigning European countries points according to their implementation of different forms of tobacco regulation. on the top of the table are Ireland and UK with a score of 82 out of 100, Germany ranking 34th out of 37 with a score of 43.

I'd say they're both important and required. Coming from a country with one of the least amounts of regulation in Europe (tobaccocontrolscale.org/results-2021/), I can tell you that peer pressure alone sadly isn't enough. Visiting neighbouring countries always feels like a relief, smoke-wise

and just like with cigarette smoking, big warning signs hardly change anyone's behaviour and the only thing that actually will do so are proper regulation and bans...

I think the potential pros require a level of critical, mindful, careful use that's hardly ever applied, certainly not sustained – because the tools afford careless use & the plausible sounding output combined with a mid to low error rate melt away any vigilance users might have shown at the outset.

I remember reading some 15 yrs ago that with 32nm manufacturing, the world's total then-need of transistors could be met with only 7 fabs. So already then it was apparent that they'll start cramming chips into everything and anything. That explains IoT enshittification, "crypto", "AI", ...

Q: Do you think that the computer is creating a technical elite, reinforcing old power structures, or remaking American society? A: I think the computer has from the beginning been a fundamentally conservative force. It has made possible the saving of institutions pretty much as they were, which otherwise might have had to be changed. For example, banking. Superficially, it looks as if banking has been revolutionized by the computer. But only very superficially. Consider that, say 20, 25 years ago, the banks were faced with the fact that the population was growing at a very rapid rate, many more checks would be written than before, and so on. Their response was to bring in the computer. By the way, I helped design the first computer banking system in the United States, for the Bank of America 25 years ago. Now if it had not been for the computer, if the computer had not been invented, what would the banks have had to do? They might have had to decentralize, or they might have had to regionalize in some way. In other words, it might have been necessary to introduce a social invention, as opposed to the technical invention. What the coming of the computer did, "just in time," was to make it unnecessary to create social inventions, to change the system in any way. So in that sense, the computer has acted as fundamentally a conservative force, a force which kept power or even solidified power where is already existed.
