They will change the paragraphs only wrt infrastructure, defense (and possibly climate things to get the votes of the greens). Meaning that the debt brake will still exist for all other things, basically. (but yes: creative bookkeeping will

The point about 3 pointer shots being worth more than 2 pointer shots is generally true. However, in the playoffs, when the going gets tough, usually the jitters set in and the teams hit a lot less 3 pointers than in the regular season. Esp

pretty good, imo. Goes to show that comedy (like art) really is a lot about generic rules that are learnable (not only for LLMs!).

I think the craziest turnaround story was Final Fantasy XIV, which was so bad at release that the following shitstorms meant that everyone expected it would go the way most MMOs go (soon forgotten). But not with Square-Enix (who had a money

yeah but we don't have time to analyse this for years and years while upping our power consumption. In the end we consume too much dirty power and have to change this, and quickly. AI is worth nothing if the world is burning.

yeah that's the story that I read a lot. But it doesn't make sense. E.g. I don't use Twitter because it's just a shitshow (e.g. even before Musk took over). Of course the algorithm from Twitter doesn't see it like t

I stil don't understand why none of these sites counts downvotes for their algorithm. Look at HN which does; the best comments are at the top which means that the user sees the more interesting posts first. And troll posts would never

Personally, I have a different problem: Too many stars are hurt during the playoffs (and the season as well, but not as important). Which means that it's just sad and I have less reason to watch because in the end it mostly comes down

Love your use of ~ in "~agree". Such a nice shortcut. Might steal that :D

the crazy part was that this was a phenomen in many countries. What does this say? That it's human nature? Or that our culture is just too damn similar? I don't know but worth some studies for sure ;)

Dark chocolate cannot have more sugar than 100% minus how much cacao is inside. And usually if we're talking dark chocolate then we're talking 60%+ chocolate. My personal suggestion is to go for nothing less than 80-85% chocolate,

Here's the abstract: Optimism is linked to a range of positive social and cognitive outcomes across development. Yet decades of work in psychological science has revealed that optimism declines throughout early childhood. Despite this

Spending is only useful if you spend it on useful stuff. Input vs. Output. If the output is just being destroyed (like munition), then all your inputs go basically to waste. Nonetheless, if your only real problem is that people don't h

wrt money: It appears facebook and google profited, like, imeasurably through serving or linking to news. How come news media itself gets so little of those monetary benefits? That's a huge problem that hasn't been adressed since

Because Europe cannot put trust in US help for Ukraine. Thus, Germany has to do more. (and they can only do more if they spend money and the [now ex-]finance minister does not want to) Also, if the US raises its tariffs wrt to Europe, then

The fascinating thing about showering is that there are quite a lot of ways to reduce your consumption of heating or water. E.g.: - shower less often (e.g. to have one day every 10 days without showering means saving 10%!) - shower with col

yeah you're on to something. What I would want as first and reasonable step is to talk about absolute numbers of CO2 per person(/state/company/whatever). Only then talking about reducing (e.g. in percentages) does make s

if the most common social media platforms (e.g. facebook, twitter) would count downvotes (does not have to be 1-1), then the most outrageous posts would not get to the top. Pretty easy actually. Also, I do not believe that "rage"
