Andreas Peichl, Wirtschaftsprofessor in München und Experte des ifo-Instituts sagt bei RTL und ntv: "Wir haben tools wie ChatGPT das Sozialgesetzbuch lesen lassen und andere Gesetze. Und dann eine Liste erstellen. Ich fürchte, wir haben in der Tat mehr als 500 Sozialleistungen, die man einzeln beantragen kann."

Ich will ehrlich sein: Während ich die Tendenz nicht einmal hinterfrage, und die Probleme sehr real sind, eine ChatGPT-Auswertung erzeugt bei mir nicht viel Vertrauen. Ist aber vermutlich selbst symptomaufzeigend dafür, dass es schlicht keine gute Datenlage gibt, und Verwirrung selbst bei den offiziellen Stellen und in Expertenkreisen herrscht.

This paper seems to suggest so, but also mentions "Previous empirical work on this topic, which shows a diverse range of estimated effects [...]" - so it seems like other factors will play a role. (Disclaimer: I read only the abstract)

EDIT: Another paper seems to back up those finding.

Wenn eine Uni da unten was findet könnten die das analog zu Hassium tatsächlich so nennen, nur um Tippfehlerverwirrungen noch mehr verwirrend zu machen.

Ich weiß noch, dass ich lange irrationale Unsicherheiten hatte "aaah, da gehen doch dann nach und nach alle Sektoren kaputt, voll keine Zuverlässigkeit!!11!1" - und im Endeffekt benutze ich meine erste SSD die ich vor so ~10+ Jahren (weiß echt nicht mehr wann genau) gekauft hatte immer noch. Mittlerweile nicht mehr im Dauerbetrieb, sondern als Betriebssystems-SSD von meinem NAS zu Hause dass ich nur bei akutem Bedarf an- und ausschalte, aber dennoch, war kein so großes Drama wie meine inneren Unsicherheiten mir verklickern wollten.

Ah, that is a bit of a UI design issue, I agree that should be added - the way it currently works with embedded PeerTube videos is by clicking on the instance name in the bottom right:

(Screenshot is from PieFed UI, but the overall mechanism should be the same on lemmy-ui or other lemmy interfaces.)

Yupp, sadly his channel is no stranger to clickbaity titles. I guess one can say that the AUR is part of the larger Arch ecosystem, but it definitely feels like a "please click and contradict me"-title.

OK, knowing that takes a bit of pressure off, thank you very much. Then at least it should be possible to handle this even if adding the new accounts as mods myself won't work out before tonight.

[–] AbNormalHumanBeing@piefed.world 1 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

I tried that, adding my lemmy.world account at the same time as my piefed.world account - sadly that one ended up never showing outside my original instance, and also got removed there without any visible reason. Is there a way for the admins to add it as a mod locally, after my original account is gone come this evening? It's https://lemmy.world/u/AbnormalHumanBeing.

If not, I guess moving the comm to a new one on piefed.world would indeed be a workaround, but I'd like to try and get it working some other way beforehand. The comm on lemmy.world isn't closing down, and it would be a bit sad to lose the posts there, right now, it can work as a decent place to browse Top/All of the community to check for past popular PeerTube channels and videos one might otherwise not have heard of.

I'll try adding my two .world accounts again today, and hope it will work out this time, before closing time later tonight.

I don't know if it plays nice with Voyager - but a link from https://lemmyverse.link/ is usually a good thing to add:

https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.world/post/33886241

Although, it is giving me a 500 error when I click this one, which is disappointing, but hopefully temporary.

Bin KDE-Ultra, meine ersten Linux-Erfahrungen noch in den frühen 2000ern mit Mandriva waren KDE, das ist mir im Blut geblieben. Auch wenn ich ne Weile mal Cinnamon und wie auch immer Ubuntu's Standard hieß ausprobiert hatte zwischendurch. Ich hatte auch mal tiling-WMs ausprobiert, aber hatte für mich irgendwie gar nicht funktioniert.

 

EDIT: Trying it again today, hoping it will work out before tonight when my old instance goes down. So far, it very much looks like yesterday is repeating itself. My personal guess is, the mod promotion doesn't properly reach lemmy.world for some reason, and then later, the other two instances sync with lemmy.world as the authority (after all the community is on there) and say (rightfully) "hey, the instance the comm is on doesn't have those accounts as mods, we better remove the privileges again!".

lemmy.abnormalbeings.space sees:

lemmy.world sees:

piefed.world sees:

So, my original instance lemmy.abnormalbeings.space will be closing down tomorrow (as of this post) due to lack of use and overall a re-focussing on the PeerTube platform on the server. Originally, !peertube@lemmy.world was created by someone else, but they seem to have deleted their account on lemmy.world and moved over to piefed.social. So my account is currently the only mod left.

As my old account on my instance, I added my new accounts (on PieFed.world and Lemmy.world respectively) as moderators, and locally on my instance, they appeared in the interface immediately (at first). My PieFed account also appeared as a moderator a short while after on PieFed.world in the interface. Thinking this might just be a federation issue for the lemmy.world account to also be added, I let it sit for a few hours, but unfortunately, now neither of the accounts appear as mods any more (also on my old instance), seemingly something in the federating process removed them again, or something in the system rejected the promotion (maybe because the accounts were too young?).

This is not ideal, since after my self-hosted instance will go down, there would be no moderator accounts left for the community. Does anyone know what could be the issue and how it could be resolved?

   I  (Virgill) embarked   on a  delightful   |  
   8-week  journey  rekindling   my  coding   |  
   skills on the Amiga. After a whopping 33   |  
   years, my mind  was practically  a blank   |  
   slate. It all began when I pondered if a   |  
   routine,   akin  to  my Windows 4k intro   |  
   "Xorverse," could somehow find a home on   |  
   the  Amiga. Excited, I    fired  up  the   |  
   fantastic VScode-Amiga-debug environment   |  
   from Abyss, only  to   hit a snag  - the   |  
   good    old Amiga    could  only  handle   |  
   rendering   a  maximum   of 2   lines of   |  
   graphics for those   xor algorithms  per   |  
   frame.                                     |  
                                              |  
   Undeterred, I decided scrolling could be   |  
   a  solution, and  that's  when the  real   |  
   challenges surfaced. How on   earth do I   |  
   create  a copperlist? What's  the secret   |  
   to waiting for    the beam in  the lower   |  
   part of the screen? And how in the world   |  
   do  I turn the graphics upside down? Ah,   |  
   there's  a modulo   register; let's just   |  
   brute  force it until   it  looks  good.   |  
                                              |  
   Thinking   I could  turn    this into  a   |  
   complete intro, I needed a music player.   |  
   Choosing Aklang and  LSP seemed   like a   |  
   no-brainer,   but  boy,  it gave me more   |  
   grey hairs than  I anticipated. Shoutout   |  
   to Platon42 and Leonard for coming to my   |  
   rescue, helping me run  it smoothly. And   |  
   yes, I even had  to dabble  in assembler   |  
   to  coax a   beat counter  out   of LSP,   |  
   bringing   back  the    basics of  68000   |  
   assembly.                                  |  
                                              |  
   Next   up on  the    list:  sprites.  It   |  
   couldn't be   that  hard, right?  Wrong!   |  
   Creating   data  structures  for sprites   |  
   turned out to be a headache, courtesy of   |  
   Commodore. I longed  for the  simplicity   |  
   of the C64. Still, I  somehow managed to   |  
   showcase  a  spaceship, invaders,  and a   |  
   border.                                    |  
                                              |  
   Enter  Critikill,     whose  involvement   |  
   injected  new life into the project. His   |  
   fantastic graphics  and assets  became a   |  
   tremendous source of inspiration. Thanks   |  
   a bunch, mate!                             |  
                                              |  
   Now, it  was time to tackle the blitter,   |  
   a  step that   filled    me   with  awe.   |  
   Brute-forcing       blitter     minterms   |  
   (resulting  in   the  fire-fx)  was  the   |  
   initial   approach      until    Leonard   |  
   enlightened   me  on   an  easier way to   |  
   calculate them. Blitting  those  bubbles   |  
   ensued,  discovering   the  comfort   of   |  
   interleaved bitplanes mode. One blit per   |  
   bubble   –  how    comfy!  Crafting  the   |  
   copperlist  for those looping  bitplanes   |  
   in  two speeds    took a week  of logic.   |  
   Blitting  over  the  repeating  bitplane   |  
   borders? Another week :)                   |  
                                              |  
   The sine part threw another challenge my   |  
   way.  In C,  plotting  many dots  wasn't   |  
   feasible, so back to  asm  it was. Speed   |  
   increased,  but  occasional jerky  frame   |  
   drops persisted.  Thanks  to Platon  for   |  
   the  hint  on the  CIA player and how to   |  
   fix the waitVBL routine!                   |  
                                              |  
   I   could   share     more,   like   the   |  
   satisfaction when a  simple fade routine   |  
   finally  worked,  or  the art of filling   |  
   the  remaining  4k  with a speech sample   |  
   when coding fatigue set in.                |  
                                              |  
   Major  kudos to  the insane Amiga coders   |  
   who've mastered every bit  and trick  in   |  
   this machine. It's downright crazy hard!   |  
                                              |  
   Special thanks to:                         |  
                                              |  
   Soundy  for  the  quick   gradientmaster   |  
   update.                                    |  
   Magic   for  testing  on real  hardware.   |  
   Nosferatu,  Platon,  Dan,   Ok3anos  for   |  
   helpful tips.                              |

   others I forgot – you know who you are!    |

She literally died for our sins

[–] AbNormalHumanBeing@piefed.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

One time quite some time ago now, while I was away from home for a few days for work back then, I only brought an old, underpowered laptop to make sure I won't be tempted to waste any time playing video games. Widelands ended up ruining that plan thoroughly, it's a really nice, comfy experience.

EDIT: Also, hell yeah can I vibe with that sentiment:

There hasn't been a Settlers game since 1996. Whether they were good or not, its many sequels, as early as 3, started missing the point of the design. It's the roads, man. The roads!
