Nope, bin aber auch an einem Forschungsinstitut in Südwestdeutschland

GLS ist bei uns um die Ecke ein Paketshop von denen. Da gibt es sehr selten Probleme.

Going to Germany as a nurse should be possible. You would need to do some language courses and handle some bureaucracy but we have a big nurse shortage.

Code Didn’t Break — They Did

Text encoding ‘standards’ were clearly the devil’s work, handed down to humanity to sow chaos and suffering.

It did depend a little bit, what kind of machine/production line he was working on. Before he retired, he worked for an automation engineering company and had different projects in other EU countries, and tried to be understandable for people in those places. He once even coded some Siemens control panel for an aluminum oven loading robot in the czech republic and tried to translate everything to czech with a dictionary (to have the panel info available in czech,english and German). He did of course speak to the foreman of the workers to get it correct.

My dad used that a lot to program Siemens Step5 and Step7 PLCs. I think it was German but names were 8 chars since this was straight from the 80s. When he fixed old machines or updated them with new PLCs he had to do full rewrites a few times because nothing was documented in old school machinery.

Die Gewichte sind offen. Daten und Training wie so häufig nicht. Aber bei den meisten Modellen in dieser Leistungsklasse bekommt man nicht Mal die Gewichte.

Man trainiert ein Modell mit weniger Parametern um ein Modell mit vielen Parametern zu imitieren. Führt zu Leistungsverlusten bei der Ausgabequalität, aber braucht dann weniger Ressourcen beim Ausführen und funktioniert einigermaßen so wie das Ursprungsmodell in schlechter. Modelle mit 1 -15 Mrd. Parametern laufen auf einem gängigen modernen Laptop. Aber einige Modelle aus denen solche kleinen Modelle distilled wird sind viel größer (zum Beispiel , Deepseek R1 mit 640 Mrd. Parametern) und brauchen hunderte Gigabyte (Video-)RAM um laufen zu können.

Das alles betrifft natürlich nicht die opensource Version von deepseek R1. Man kann sich mit Ollama die kleineren destillierten Versionen des modells laden und auf einem mittelstarken Laptop lokal ausführen. Hatte auf einem Rechner mit mehr Power sogar schon die 640B Parameter Version auf die Art installiert und benutzt.

The apostles are not completely fine with wealth either. Peter has the story with Hanniah and Sapphira, where god punishes greed and sharing everything in the early Jerusalem Christian community is the norm. Paul at least has a few being responsible with wealth statements like this one: 1 Timothy 6:17-19 17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
