As a German I always liked.
RECHTS GEHTS REIN INS REICH.
More or less “In the Right direction it goes into the Reich”. Absolutely bonkers and very catchy.
- Comment on The fact that some dogs are used to the groomers and some aren't is wild. 2 days ago:
I am gong to make a broad, sweeping statement that will ignore lots of individual cases.
Main reason is Improper Socialisation. Those dogs have learned to understand and trust humans but had limited, and in the cases where they quickly get aggressive, often negative contact to other dogs.
They have lived their whole life with humans. Humans are safe, predictable and understandable. They learned to read humans. This is in fact the main trait we bred dogs for this last ca. 40.000 years.
But because they have not really learned to interact with other dogs they get insecure, because these unpredictable things are running around. They are sometimes loud, oftentimes hectic. This insecurity can then change to aggression if the dogs see no other way out of the situation.
I am ignoring personality right now, as individual dogs will react differently under the same circumstances, but the first reaction of most dogs will be to get out of a perceived threat. First by signaling via posture, eyes, ears and tail then by running or warning it of. It takes a lot of training, known or unknown by the owner, to get a dog to the point where it reacts violently as a first choice.

Take a toothpicks and carefully break it in two halves. Ideally you are left with something about half as wide as the original pick. You want thin and sturdy pieces to get into the port. Now carefully scrape the lint and dirt out of the port. The dirt tends to compact on the bottom, so you have to scrape a bit to get it all out. I would recommend to do it in direct sunlight to better see the interior of the port. Torchlights usually are either to bright on the spot or to dim.
Works like a charm.

That’s mostly an affectation. And as a German myself I have to say that his accent is atrociously german.

The original saying is “If it looks stupid but it works it’s not stupid.” There might even be a kernel of truth in there. But to quote the Maxims: “If it is stupid and it works it is still stupid and you’re lucky.”
- Comment on ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down 4 months ago:
While you are correct that there likely is no intention and certainly no self-awareness behind the scheming, the researchers even explicitly list the option that the AI is roleplaying as an evil AI, simply based on its training data, when discussing the limitations of their research, it still seems a bit concerning. The research shows that given a misalignment between the initial prompt and subsequent data modern LLMs can and will ‘scheme’ to ensure their given long-term goal. It is no sapient thing, but a dumb machine with the capability to decive its users, and externalise this as shown in its chain of thought, when there are goal misalignments seems dangerous enough. Not at the current state of the art but potentially in a decade or two.

And we have better night vision than most the animals that have better day-vision than us. Humans are like the Leatherman of animals. Universally capable of doing most things but not as good as something specialized for that task. Plus of course capable of coming up with ways to cheat
