Unsere Demokratie lebt von Engagement! Daher muss die Zivilgesellschaft geschützt & nachhaltig und gezielt gefördert werden. Bildung und Open-Source können dabei helfen, digitale Innovation zugänglicher zu machen und das zivilgesellschaftliche Engagement zu stärken. Benachteiligte Gruppen brauchen außerdem eine gezielte Förderung – der Zugang zu Bildungsmaterialien darf nicht vom sozioökonomischen Status abhängen.

I don't claim I'd be good at the job right now being blind, nor to have knowledge whether tools exist to allow for any success since the job is so visual, but to have deaf or autistic folks participate equally if they can, sure, why not.
So this is merit-based, isn't it. You have a disability means you have bad work merit. Even if it comes out that the air-traffic-controller in this situation has a disability, I wouldn't judge their performance on that, and even if I did, I would first want to know whether barriers or other factors made them less efficient at their job. But not in this country anymore. Upset.

It has been a while, but here's a new #recorder video showing the "Kindergartenflöte" - an instrument without a thumbhole.
So, is it even a recorder?
Have a look and a listen, if you like. And let me know what you think 🙂
Subtitles are also on my blog, as well as a German translation.

As my findings in my #GeneticProgramming research are becoming more and more thorough, I have started to document them. The main problem in my runs is still lack of diversity.

The author of this model claims that it took $1000 to train. Meanwhile, $6m is considered cheap for *a single training run for a decent LLM*, and that doesn't even include ablations and experiments.
I really don't understand why this didn't happen earlier.
I thought Eleven Labs had some "secret sauce" that OSS models struggled to replicate, but maybe it's just that nobody even really bothered?
Earlier today, Anglican Priest Calvin Robinson ended a speech at a pro life summit in DC by giving the exact same Nazi salute that Elon Musk did.
The crowd laughed & cheered.
The Anglican Church revoked his license.
This is how you handle Nazis. You condemn them. You don’t pander to them.
Considering how many organizations excused Musk’s salute as an “awkward gesture”, I’m incredibly grateful to see the church taking a strong stand against hate
