Oh cool. The wiki suggested it was completely lost from modern use after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The Wikipedia article states that

[...]The protests were successful, and the Ampelmännchen returned to pedestrian crossings. They can now also be seen in some western districts of Berlin.[4] Some western German cities such as Saarbrücken[14] and Heidelberg[15] have since adopted the design for some intersections.

Ohhh I must have glossed over that part. Thank you

They have Amber Alert here and the other day I noticed it linked to twitter for more information...which I couldn't actually but for a split-second when a pop-up loaded. This is silly. Perhaps govt can reach more people by posting a message to twitter vs their website. But if you're sending a link out, there is no excuse not to link to your website or any number of other open, stable hosts.

Which is appropriate only for the extremest of extreme situations like an imminent open war our natural catastrophe.

In my opinion, anonymously rating people instead of approaching them directly is neither constructive nor courageous.

True! I doubt people are using this sort of site to be constructive or courageous, though. I think they just want to vent. I can understand that. What I don't really understand is why anyone else is interested in reading that venting.

Here's my little vent: "EMPLOYEES LEAVE MANAGERS, NOT COMPANIES"

People do leave bad managers, but they also leave bad companies even if they themselves have a good manager.

From now on, I am going to bring an unreadable AI looking sign to every concert I go.

Local-first becomes even better in combination with local LLMs.

yes! So many people are missing out on using claude-code directly on their knowledge base locally. Once you have it all local it seems completely crazy to push all of that context into a locked-in saas platform with mediocre AI tools.

That's a good idea, thanks!

sorry... you can place notes, and when the playhead passes through, they get played

I'm glad I completed my bachelor's before ChatGPT existed. Now in my master's program, I find myself increasingly dependent on AI. It's gotten to a point where professors grade using AI, so no brain-to-brain exchange is happening — just AI to AI.

You are welcome to eschew AI if you feel like it's hurting your own learning outcome.

I believe the choice of the word “dependent” was deliberate in their comment.

> so no brain-to-brain exchange is happening — just AI to AI.

Rubbish in, rubbish out. Just increasing entropy, a day at a time..

I would also like to know. The German government actually has a decent API for accessing countless parliamentary documents, but it doesn't make the data very accessible to normal people...
