I did read about Linux on the internet. But i wasn't crazy enough to download something as gigantic as a Linux distribution with my limited DSL connection in the early 2000s. So I did go to my local Mediamarkt (German electronics store chain) and bought a copy of Suse Linux 6.4 which had a bunch of CDs that i used to install my first Linux system. The first time I installed linux from the internet was around the time Ubuntu was already big (I think i installed Breezy Badger then)

You could also you any jarring combination of colours, fonts, gifs, marquee tags, and anything that you desired with your geocities sites. There was no tyranny of design principles or minimal corporate webdesign.

I was in the Delta this year. It's really beautiful. Had a nice little boat tour ans saw a lot of birds. The Saint George arm (that is completely in Romania) is still mostly safe but aquatic mines were already spotted near the very end at Sulina, so we obviously did not go there. The captain of my boat told me that in earlier phases of the war you could see the russian drones attacking the Ismail grain terminal on the Ukrainian side from Tulcea.

Despite the really bad reviews by the famous Roman poet Ovid, who was banned to Constanta, it is a really nice city.

Aren't there hundreds of independent fritures (small places that serve traditional Belgian fries)?

There are ads I deliberately searched for like the fun viral music videos by Berlin public transit authorities. There's even adds I physically ordered per mail. My home state in Germany had an ad-campaign where they printed stickers with "Nice here! But were you ever in Bade -Wurrtemberg?" that you could get per mail. Vandalism got these stickers everywhere and there was even a subreddit about spotting these in weird and faraway places. I also did paste a few in interesting places.

Who was also really great! He was the man your man could smell like.

A fully original Margherita from a simple small pizzeria in a less touristy part of Naples. That's hard to beat (and usually really cheap for the quality you get)

Not very unusual, but also not super common: Emmental and strawberry jam bread rolls.

I rather go for soy sauce and a bit of starch in the beaten egg to make really thin umami omelette type things.

Luckily a single Deep learning paper title is all you need

I have used this small R package that allows you to read the text content of a PDF and send it to a local llama model via ollama or one of the large LLM APIs. I could use that to get structured answers in JSON format on a whole folder of papers, but the context length of a typical model is only long enough to hold a single (roughly 40-page) paper in the memory. So I had to get separate structurer answers on each paper and then generate a complete summary from those. Unfortunately that is not user-friendly yet.

You caused a civilization underflow. The world is now almost maximally civilized.

Technically you do not confess, but the Big5 internet monopolists track your every move like a vengeful god would do.

No the friendly apex predator of the woods is painted in a very bad light in a lot of these arguments. So no winners really

A village nearby my hometown got fiber for the church and installed directed wifi antennas on the church tower to solve their internet problems

Na, I am pretty sure that sysiphus sees tracks that are only the result of a shwadow play in a cave and you have to exit the cave to truly experience reality

Too few phallic animals for that

I know Python, R, the STATA ado-language (a horrible proprietary progamming language), MATLABs language, Javascript and some minimal C++. What I know really well though is R and Python. So typical profile for a (data) scientist.
