Ich empfehle gerne noch mal Thomas Hettches „Sinkende Sterne“ von 2023. Neben aller anderen Grossartigkeit zeigt er sehr treffend, was im Wallis passiert, wenn es sich durch Naturgewalt teilt — erst Verkehrswege, dann Gesellschaft. Quasi an den immer noch vorhandenen „natürlichen“ Bruchstellen. In anderen Gegenden sicher ähnlich möglich, aber das ist schon sehr Wallis, meinem Empfinden nach

Linguist Noam Chomsky is interviewed by Common Dreams writer C.J. Polychroniou on the subject of ChatGPT in this May 2023 piece. Chomsky's stance on LLMs is that as long as we're not able to atomically understand what goes on in the statistical black box that currently is an LLM, linguists won't be able to benefit from being able to see whether it learns language like a human does, or not.
"Noam Chomsky Speaks on What ChatGPT Is Really Good For"
Overall, 77% of Americans said they did not feel “completely financially secure,”
and 32% said they did not think they ever would.
Based on the latest census data, the median U.S. household income in 2023 was roughly $80,000,
but that is the midpoint on incomes, meaning half of U.S. households made even less.
And yes... of course he ...
"It should come as no surprise that after the massacres of October 7, 2023, all the loudest voices from the residential-schools “activism” immediately merged with the loudest voices in the ‘From Turtle Island to Palestine’ histrionics."

Lite förenklat tror jag att jag kan påstå att matavfall bidrar till Sveriges energimix med 0,2% 2023.
Total energitillförsel 2023: 507 TWh
- Varav biobränslen: 149,6 TWh
Total biogasanvändning: 4,1 TWh
- Varav matavfall 24%, dvs 1 TWh

BBC bias on Israel
From Jonathan Cook. (Substack link, sorry.)
"In a confrontation with BBC news chief Richard Burgess, journalist Peter Oborne sets out six ways the state broadcaster has wilfully misled audiences on Israel's destruction of Gaza"
For example,
"... the distinguished Israeli historian Avi Shlaim lives in the UK and teaches at Oxford University. ... Shlaim is both knowledgeable about the history of Israeli colonisation of Palestine and truly independent. He is in a position to dispassionately provide the context BBC audiences need to make judgments about what is going on and who is responsible for it.
"And yet extraordinarily, Shlaim has never been invited on by the BBC. ... He is one of the prominent Israelis we are never allowed to hear from, because they are likely to make more credible and mainstream a narrative the BBC wishes to present as fringe, loopy and antisemitic."
Plus some media analysis stats such as:
"The BBC mentioned “occupation” – the essential context for understanding the relationship between Israel and Palestinians – only 14 times in news articles when providing context to the events of 7 October 2023. That amounted to 0.3% of articles. Additional context – decades of Israeli apartheid rule and Israel’s 17-year blockade of Gaza — were entirely missing from the coverage."

Oh, ich hab gestern übrigens mal wieder 'spaßhalber' eine Anfrage beim #Terminservice meiner #Krankenkasse getätigt bezüglich einer Praxis wegen #ADHS- #Medikation. Im Dezember 2023 wurde ich diagnostiziert und habe seither keine Praxis gefunden. Diesmal gab ich beim Suchradius 80 km an. Und ich wette, spätestens nächste Woche Mittwoch kommt wieder eine E-Mail, es täte ihnen Leid, sie haben nichts gefunden. Wie jedes mal. Aber hey, es gibt hier keine "Unterversorgung"...
Edit (Mi. 23.04.): Gerade eben kam die E-Mail: "Leider konnten wir für Sie trotz vielzähliger Praxiskontakte keinen Termin vereinbaren." 🤷♂️
Edit2 (Di. 29.04.): Hab jetzt mal die Telefon-Hotline angerufen wie in der Absage-Mail angeboten wird. Alter! Stellt sich raus, dass die generell gar keine Termine in der Fachrichtung ausmachen können! Dafür muss ich mit so einem Vermittlungscode die 116117 anrufen 😡 Aber das in die Absage-Mail mit reinschreiben, können sie nicht! [Schimpfwort]
