Thank you! It’s a a 1960/61 family heirloom which was recently rediscovered. We suspect it hasn’t been running since the 80ies, so I need to get it serviced before I can wear it regularly. But I’m excited to bring it back to live!

Two men’s watches on watch pillows.

Left one is a Junghans Automatic dress watch on a black leather strap. The Junghans is approximately 34mm in diameter. With a slim golden frame. And approximately 8mm high. 

The right watch is a Tissot PRC200 chronograph with a black leather strap. The Tissot has a diameter of approximately 400mm and is approximately 13mm high. It has a an approximate 3mm thick silver frame.

Love it! A men’s dress watch is supposed to be smaller so it fits underneath shirts and suits, even today new dress watches follow this „rule“. My vintage Junghans dress watch is also much smaller compared to my Tissot Chronograph.

It’s a picture of my wrist on a blurry backdrop. I am wearing a Casio A164W digital wrist watch

Purchased it in 2013. Still on the original battery! 🔋

Very few narratives piss me off as much as the whole "let's give marginalised people LLM assistants for inclusion". 

Inclusion does not mean giving marginalised people shittier versions of a thing: Sure you can give kids from poorer backgrounds an LLM to "learn" but what you are saying is that poor people are not worth having trustworthy sources of information. When you say that older or lonely people can talk to chatbots to feel less alone you are saying that some people are not worth a social life. 

This is a deeply inhumane perspective that goes actively against the ideas and ideals of inclusion.

- keine bauliche Trennung zu fließendem Verkehr
- Parkbereiche kreuzt Radweg, Gefahr von Dooring Unfällen oder beim Ausparken.

Da gibt es andere Konzepte die mehr bieten (aber auch teuere sind als ein bisschen Farbe auf die Straße zu kippen)

Dennoch ein Anfang

Also ganz ehrlich: Es ist ein Radweg. Aber so manches lässt in Sachen Sicherheit zu wünschen übrig.

- Autoverkehr kreuzt Radverkehr in der Kreuzung mit großem Radius dh Autos könnten versuchen schnell über die Kreuzung zu fahren und Radfahrer übersehen.

What’s the best way to debug Workflows with Google Gemini?

I spent the afternoon trying to get Gemini to compare a PDF and CSV File. It took me hours until I learned it was because it failed to parse the PDF, and only after countless times of “show me your work” prompting…

Is there a better way?

Id argue for an AP Royal Oak. Yes the dial is round, but the frame gives it a very distinct octagonal look!

Amusing use of LLMs at a more traditional company:

“A project with ~50 people got stuck. There are too many JIRA tickets, no clear specification, and anytime one team tries to make progress, the others shoot it down.

So a dev built an LLM to try and break the deadlock: (cont’d)

Dass es hierbei wir ein Podcast Aufgenommen und geschnitten wurde ist für mich nebensächlich. Genauso gut hätte es auch wie ein Hörbuch erstellt worden sein.

Wichtig ist Hyper-Indivueller Content zum Hören als Alternative für Textzusammenfassungen.

Ich glaube das hier das Format Podcast falsch verstanden wird. Es ist für mich kein Podcast im Sinne von Host viele Hörer. Ich sehe es als Hyper Individuelle Audio-Lernhilfen. Viele Blog Posts zu einem Thema gefunden aber keine Lust zu lesen? 👉 Erstelle dir eine Audio-Zusammenfassung mit KI

Or how the hell did the complete the check in 3 minutes? Last time I got checked (TGV Paris - Munich) I ended up arriving 55 Minutes late in Munich.

(At this point I’m also a bit upset they didn’t take 5 minutes longer so I could at least get 25% of my fare back due to the 60min delay… 🙃)

„Von der Senkung der Stromsteuer werden nach den jetzigen Plänen nur große Unternehmen profitieren. […] Ein Vorschlag ist, die Förderung von Wärmepumpen zu streichen, um die Senkung der Stromsteuer auch für private Haushalte zu finanzieren.“

Also für Gas ist Geld da aber für Wärmepumpen nicht? 🤔

For all the great things. Gemini AI can do, I’m surprised how bad Gemini is in Gmail.

There I agree. But most AI tiers I know (e.g. Notion) nearly double the cost of the subscription. And im not sure if I would have gone for Gemini if they followed these price increases.

I agree that Gemini could do much more and is in many situations fairly limited. However given that the price increase for Google Workspace users is ~3 € I feel like this is acceptable as it does provide significant Value in other areas. (Just the Gemini Meet Notes and Transcript alone is worth it)

Zero.

Graphic full of data illustrating the inefficiencies of cars

Graphic full of data illustrating the inefficiencies of cars

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?
