Well, it worked. The drone is no longer a threat. Way to go, Ruzzia!

They used to mine lignite ("brown coal") there in an open quarry. It was flooded after demand died down.

But think of the economy! Without the military-industrial complex. millionaires will have to buy fewer yachts! Think of the poor, rich people!

Weird. I did not know it was possible to post a two hour video here.

Oh, I know that one! That is a counterweight designed to protect your house from swaying and collapsing during an earthquake.

Geez, you are mean. Making fun of some guy just because you do not understand what you see...

Yepp. People who are at risk have the option to get a panic button, although that usually connects to a private service or the Red Cross instead of 911 directly. Costs about 27€ a month, and is often paid for by the insurance.

The start is a regular call by someone to emergency services. Finding the victim CAN be tricky, I once rang every flat in a building to find the one with the victim to get in. We then resorted to shouting and looking for an open door.

No, the emergency center also alerts first responders besides an ambulance. The call itself is done as usual (although some people who are at risk also have panic buttons )

Actually, yes, in Germany we do. Unless you are willfully stupid, you cannot be charged with anything. In fact, you COULD be charged if you do not do anything (but avoiding that is trivial, just say 'i was scared' or something).

No, the local variant of 911 is called normally by people finding the victim, and the people there not only alert ambulances, but also first responders.

In Germany this is called corhelper. I was part of it for a few years, but I feel too old now, and there was a weird issue renewing my certification, so I dropped out.

The alerts I got were false though (patient still concious), never had to do a single case of CPR.

Sadly you left out the part where the "trainer" showed his experience by touching the hot barrel...

Or high powered model airplanes. But yes, Ukraine has some jet powered drones.

Well, had, I guess. Most went to Moscow.

For context: this is the accusation text of a civil case, and was never truly investigated, because 'Katie Johnson' withdrew the accusation after receiving a massive number of threats and feared for her life and safety. Said threats were never investigated.

I wonder who might have issued them.

Also, if it was fake, why resort to threats instead of just sitting through it? After all, SHE has to prove Tr*mps guilt, surely that would be hard if he were innocent.

#1 is not bread, that is toast. Real german bread would eat that for breakfast.

I do not envy the guy. Either he is a pushover (which I doubt) or he has to play one on TV to be able to influence Dementia Don somewhat. And if he ever admits that it is an act, all his efforts are in vain.

Corruption within FIFA? Surely it cannot be!

Sorry to disappoint everyone, but there are several shacks in Germany that are smaller than this one /s

Can confirm. I fed Claude our old legacy code that no one understood any more, and now I have a halfway decent documentation and, if I have questions, I can simply ask the LLM, and wil get answers.

However, I still need to proof-read the documentation, and ensure that the answers are not some hallucination.

It works amazing, until it does not any more - the trick is to find the point where it starts telling you bullshit.

You can lessen this problem by buying a bigger subscription, but then we're talking about paying more for the LLM than for a employee.

And you still need someone competent to tell the LLM WTF they are supposed to be doing. I once asked a LLM to write a client/server pair for a multiplayer game, which it did. But the code had more backdoors than Lockpicking Lawyers Ex-Girlfriend.

As a software engineer who works with LLMs daily - no need to poison them. They do a pretty good job of messing themselves up already. However, they are also VERY good at hiding that, and it will take weeks or months to notice the shortfalls, once their context window is full and they start culling it.
They work really well on small tasks "program minesweeper", but managers will think that also means they are amazing at generating large projects. And this is where they will fail.

Please, in simple words, explain to me: How is this different from North Korea or Stalins Soviet Union?

I call that natural selection. And it seems to happen to the right people.

Totally unrealistic. A real german would already know the location of the nearest disposal site, and the opening hours by heart. Mine just opened, but never go there on a Saturday, unless you like long lines.

Wow, this is totally not staged.
