Eigentlich hatte ich heute das Handout für das Referat im Seminar zur Geschichtstheorie schreiben wollen. Jetzt habe ich den Nachmittag und Abend damit verbracht, Informationen hinterherzulaufen, den Teams-Account in Gang zu bekommen und mir mit Knoten im Magen Stress zu machen.
«It’s the greatest medical scandal of the 21st century. For decades, patients with ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) have been told they can make themselves better by changing their attitudes. This devastating condition, which afflicts about 250,000 people in the UK, was psychologised by many doctors and scientists, adding to the burden of a terrible physiological illness.» written by George Monbiot. https://www.monbiot.com/2024/03/27/first-do-no-harm/ #mecfs@mecfs#MillionsMissing
Because it's #InternationalWomensDay, every woman is allowed to propose one (1) new law. It must be a silly, low-stakes one which has little impact on society other than to solve one of your pet peeves.
Mine is: 'make it illegal to illustrate articles about female pleasure with photos of someone fingering a piece of fruit.'
Unter meinem Video zur Gedenkfahrt für #Natenom#RIPNatenom kommentiert jemand mit "war er geimpft" und jetzt weiß ich nicht, ob es es mit einem Scherzkeks, Troll oder Vollpfosten zu tun habe …
@LLS I'm so sorry you are still dealing with that. I can only hope that scientists find a way to help us and that the rest of the society starts taking us seriously.
I'm sending you some good vibes and a bit of warming sunshine if you want to.
Mehr noch: bei den Klos ein weiterer Handdesinfektionsspender, mit dem Hinweis, man solle sich unbedingt nach dem Toilettengang die Hände desinfizieren.
Wir haben nichts in der Pandemie gelernt und das auch noch falsch.
@Mela In der Praxis meiner Ergotherapeuting läuft es ähnlich. Sie wollte mich auch damit beruhigen, dass alle Oberflächen regelmäßig desinfeziert werden. Die Maske bleibt bei mir sowas von auf!
You may know I had covid 7 weeks ago. It appears it did not leave me without any after effects. So-called #LongCovid now appears to be my present and future reality. Currently, my left lung registers discomfort if I breathe. This will likely pass in time but then I also lost my senses of taste and smell when I got covid and these, as yet, haven't returned. Who knows what wonders await?
Just be aware that #covid is not a consequenceless disease for everybody even if you were one of the people who just thought it was a cold.
About the smell, I read in a LC self-help book that trying to smell everyday can help you recover that part. I don't have my copy here right now, but if I remember well you can get some ethereal oils and try everyday to smell those. You can put one drop on a tissue, and first try smelling while knowing what you are smelling at, and later without knowing beforehand.
If I remember right, peppermint, lavender and something else are good choices to try to get your smell senses back.
hüstel Ich glaube, ich habe einen gewissen Ruf im Institut weg.
Dozent rantet über LaTeX und versucht den anderen zu erklären, was LaTeX genau ist Sein Blick schweift über die Besatzung des Seminars, bleibt an mir hängen
"Die Frau Eckenfels weiß natürlich genau von was ich rede ..."
Getting real tired of the media gaslighting anyone who still takes covid seriously by trying to claim people who don't want brain damage or heart damage or strokes or ME/CFS or diabetes or nerve pain or a bunch of other issues are just "overly anxious" about covid now and it's because we haven't been given "guidance" on how to "adapt to the new normal"
Meanwhile, in the land where science has actual meaning, covid is 4x deadlier than the flu, several orders of magnitude more likely to lead to chronic postviral illness, and people enjoying the "new normal" are getting it 1-3 or more times a year whereas I can count the number of times I've had influenza in 40 years on one hand. Also, award winning viral disease experts talk about how important it is to get covid as infrequently as possible
But sure. I'm just "overly anxious" about getting the brain eating, heart destroying, diabetes inducing, immune system depleting, neuron fusing plague that nobody is trying to stop from spreading anymore
Zwei Studentinnen, die sich beim Husten abwechseln, im Hörsaal gehabt. Keine sichtbare Lüftung, kein Fenster offen. Ich fühle mich mit Maske und Mini-HEPA-Filter nicht übervorbereitet.
@Mela was zur Hölle soll ein Aromapraktiker sein? Ich bin mir nicht sicher ob ich es wissen will, auch wenn ich frage, vor allem weil es so nach Esoterik klingt :/
A prominent vaccine sceptic claims a German study proves vaccination causes long COVID.
This is false. The study, which explores the risk of developing long COVID when compared to previous infections, vaccination status and virus variants, makes no such claim.
“This study provides no evidence or even suggestion that vaccination causes long COVID," Professor Baker said
@DenisCOVIDinfoguy@auscovid19 there are people who got long covid before vaccines where available. Somehow this is something that anti-vax people don't like to hear.
Helping someone debug something, said they asked chatgpt about what a series of bit shift operations were doing. He thought it was actually evaluating the code, yno like it presents itself as doing. Instead its example was a) not the code he put in, with b) incorrect annotations, and c) even more incorrect sample outputs. Has been doing this all day and had just started considering maybe chatGPT was wrong.
I was like first of all never do that again, and explained how chatGPT wasnt doing anything like what he thought it was doing. We spent 2 minutes isolating that code, printing out the bit string after each operation, and he immediately understood what was going on.
I fucking hate these LLMs. Empowerment is learning how to figure things out, how to make tools for yourself and how to debug problems. These things are worse than disempowering, teaching people to be dependent on something that teaches them bullshit.
Edit: too many ppl reading this as "this person bad at programming" - not what I meant. Criticism is of deceptive presentation of LLMs.
