#Intovertierte: seid einfach da. Beobachtet das alles vom #Rand aus. Schießt eure tollen #Fotos oder seid einfach unsichtbar aber dennoch da. Traut eucht, schnell von einer Seite zur anderen zu huschen und versteckt euch dann hinter den anderen Menschen. Ihr müsst nicht #laut und #bunt in der Menge stehen! Es reicht, wenn ihr irgendwo am Rand in eurer (minimalen) #Komfortzone präsent seid. Niemand von euch muss eine #Rampensau sein, um legitim an einer Demo teilhaben zu können.

Ooohhh, yeah I did forget that part. Once again we may have #lifeimitatingart.

Interesting how these things come up.

#Verne seems to have predicted #nuclearpower in #20000leagues

#Rand seems to have predicted #holography in #atlasshrugged

What other predictions did I read in #literature and forget?

EDIT: Just read through most of the thread to this point. You'll find an excellent #dystopian literature Venn diagram here:

Well done whoever created it!

If you are reporting an issue for something that's explained in the installation manual. But still don't get the message not to do it.

What else can I do to explain not to install phpDocumentor using composer? It will work, but it will also conflict with your application dependencies. And I'm not going to change my approach, because people do not read...
Applications like phpDocumentor shall be installed as a phar. Not like a library.

“Reuters is reporting that one of DeepSeek's research papers showed that it had used about 2,000 of Nvidia's #H800 chips, which were designed to comply with US export controls released in 2022.

The *#US microchip export controls* were designed to freeze #China's development of supercomputers used to develop nuclear weapons and artificial intelligence systems.

"#DeepSeek didn't come out of nowhere — they've been at model building for years," #RAND Corporation technology advisor Jimmy Goodrich told #Reuters.”

You’ll see a lot of BS arguments over the number & type of NV chips used. This is Politics.

The key thing to remember is the low price will increase use. The production numbers (costs) will be verified because the code is open source.

The play is set in a courtroom during a murder trial and audience members are chosen to play the jury.

How can your institution benefit from reframing #autism and #neurodiversity?

The #RAND corporation suggests that
1. Some traits (like #neurodivergence) can be so advantageous in certain industries that they are more like #qualifications than #disabilities.
2. Some #accommodations (like stimulus-reduced spaces and times) are so universally beneficial that they should be the default rather an exception to #policy.

If you can, please pitch in to help The Computer Museum in the small town of Camburzano, Italy.

They've got hold of a haul of ancient big iron in surprisingly good shape and they need funds to safeguard this rare machinery:

We are about to save an enormous quantity of extremely rare machines, some of which may be unique, dating back as far as 70 years.
Among the equipment to be saved are machines from both #IBM and #Remington #Rand for the creation and management of punch cards (one of the earliest methods of loading programs), huge #Sperry #Univac #mainframes complete with their tape units, disks, and printers, as well as the earliest #Olivetti systems. All the machines are in astonishingly good condition and perhaps, with good care, even functional.
