Hey!
Breaking News: Mindestlohn-Gegner wollten vom Volk beschlossene lokale Mindestlöhne vor Gericht kippen. Jetzt sind sie damit vor Bundesgericht gescheitert. Doch nun greift die Konzernlobby im Bundeshaus zu einem neuen Trick: In wenigen Tagen wollen sie im Parlament einen landesweiten Mindestlohn-Stopp durchdrücken.
Unterschreibe jetzt den Appell und sende ein klares Signal: Löhne sollen zum Leben reichen!

Since it was relevant to a discussion I just had on here and is something most people probably haven't thought about much (unless you've taken one of a handful of philosophy classes), I thought I'd try to lay out a key piece of Descartes' Meditations (#philosophy

Anthropic has been trying to understand how large language models (LLMs) work for a few years now.
Anthropic isn’t the only one looking at this, but I think the company has made it part of its core mission more than most.
Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, has said we won’t be able to control LLMs fully unless we learn more about how they work.
So this new research is very much in that context.
It goes deeper into the weird mechanisms inside LLMs than ever before.

Hello, reply guys!
“Fascism” is not a generic catch-all for everything awful. It is a word with a meaning. My definition of the word is a form of supremacist ethnonationalism that:
(1) demands the eradication of democracy and the installation of a dictator with total power over both government and industry, forcing all individuals to function first and foremost to advance the power of the state,
(2) designates some particular group(s) of people as naturally inferior Others whose presence contaminates society and is an existential threat to it,
(3) blames these Others for society’s problems and calls for their complete subordination, expulsion, or extermination, a project which demands the total militarization of society.
One can quibble over details there, but’s the rough shape of it. As angry as I am over the militarism and imperialism and environmental ruin and oligarchism that’s marbled throughout US politics — and as long as I’ve been putting my boots on the ground against it! — the definition above does •not• apply to every elected official or political party in US politics. But it •does• apply to the Republican Party in its current form.

I expect this is the first of many such rulings across the globe...

Does anybody know of a locally hosted, open source, slop-free calculator tool that can do complex unit conversions from algebraic/text input similar to e.g. wolfram alpha, and properly handle SI prefixes etc?
Examples of things I want to be able to do:
1 / (10.3125 GHz) to ps (expected answer 96.97)
(50V / 10K ohms)^2 * 10K ohms to mW (expected answer 250)
