For those not up to speed with the latest AI jargon, I hope to clarify some things:
Every time a company promises a revolutionary “AI” product, they just exploit cheap labor from India.
Kollege hat darauf hingewiesen, dass quasi alles an #Lötpaste von #AliExpress & Co verschwunden ist. Jemand auf dem Schirm, ob sich da was geändert hat?
I built most of my #Sysadminnery finger memory in commercial Unices. Some of that stuff just never goes away. I can't give up netstat and ifconfig either.
More correctly: nets<TAB> and ifco<TAB> https://
amazing! 🥺
this means that the 40mins monstrosity is performing (slightly) better than its predecessor in the first ~20h. When YouTuber brag about something being 1 of 10—this is what they mean.
please keep watching and liking—together we can break the algorithm 🥲

Once the distinctions had been made, and the first punishments applied, the venereal were accepted into the hospital. And they were crammed inside. In 1781, 138 men occupied 60 beds in the Saint-Eustache quarter of Bicêtre, and in the Miséricorde in the Salpêtrière there were 125 beds for 224 women. Patients in the terminal stages of the disease were simply left to die. 'Grand Remedies' were applied to the others: never more, and rarely less than six weeks of care, starting of course with blood-letting and purging, then a week of baths for two hours per day, then purging again, followed by a full and complete confession to bring this first part of the treatment to a close. Rubbing with mercury could then begin, with all its efficacy. Each course of treatment lasted one month, and was followed by two more purges and one final bleeding to chase out the remaining morbific humours. Fifteen days of convalescence were then granted. After he had definitively made his peace with God, the patient was declared cured and sent away.
This 'therapeutic' demonstrates a rich tapestry of fantasy, and above all a profound complicity between medicine and morality, which give their full meaning to these purification practices. For the classical age, venereal disease was less a sickness than an impurity to which physical symptoms are correlated. Accordingly, medical perception is ruled by ethical perception, and on occasion even effaced by it. The body must be treated to remove the contagion, but the flesh must be punished, for it is the flesh that attaches us to sin. Mere corporal punishment was not enough: the flesh was to be pummelled and bruised, and leaving painful traces was not to be feared, as good health, all too frequently, transformed the human body into another opportunity for sinful conduct. The sickness was to be treated, but the good health that could lead to temptation was to be destroyed.
