Arrived in Aarhus. Here for the first time. What a beautiful library (some other great areas, but did not want to take pictures of the people there with their consent).
Will be honoured when Ada & #Zangemann will be in one of their shelves in future.

“Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot”

> Researchers have found that ChatGPT "power users," or those who use it the most and at the longest durations, are becoming dependent upon — or even addicted to — the chatbot.

I have just sent the Social (in)Security Administration back the ~$23K they continued sending me, while I worked, didn't qualify for benefits, and repeatedly and insistently spent hours on hold trying to tell them as much only to have them ignore every single report I made, even via my congress critter, until I finally got someone's attention and they terminated my benefits and processed my overpayment. Thankfully most of it was in savings because this is far from my first rodeo with these fools.
Don't get me wrong, efficiency is great. But if you're looking at this system thinking the inefficiency is that it exists at all, not that it's a pain in the dick to get them to stop sending me money I know damn well I'll have to pay back later, then I have a bull to sell you. Fair warning, he shits a lot.
Meanwhile, soon I'm going to actually need those benefits again. Great timing as always, Universe.

If it looks like a fraud... it's possibly a fraud. Which is what Tesla is.
Payments for Teslas under Canada’s electric vehicle rebate program have been frozen pending a government investigation into whether they’re valid.The Canadian Press (CTVNews)
🤯 Wow, the former NDP leader says that this election is too important to lose -- so vote for the Liberals. Don't split the vote.
Boy, I wish we had proportional representation in Canada!

We are concerned about about the US being able to switch off or spy on our cloud instances.
But what about payment infrastructure? All payment card companies we use are US based (visa, mastercard, amex). In some European countries like Denmark they have their own system alongside (Dankort). The Dutch sold off all their own card issuers providers long time ago.
epicompany.eu/ is supposed to provide an alternative but haven't seen any updates on that in a while.
EPI is a payment scheme, built by European payment industry leaders, to create Wero, a unified pan-European payment solution leveraging SCT Inst.@51north/project-template-nuxt3
why are you opposed to sombody getting their promotion and their bonus payout?
Think of the poor engineer that wil have to fix that mess at one point and will be skipped promotion because "one doesn't fix problem at Google. They invent them".
„Steuerzahlerbund“ fordert wieder einmal den Verkauf der staatlichen Anteile an Post/DHL und Deutsche Telekom.
Ganz abgesehen von der Frage, ob das bei global agierenden Unternehmen im Bereich kritischer Infrastrukturen politisch sinnvoll wäre, finanziell zumindest wäre es auf jeden Fall unsinnig: Die Dividende aus den Beteiligungen ist jedes Jahr höher als die durch Schuldentilgung eingesparten Zinsen.
