hit-ašknz-u "they Germanised", a denominal verb from Ashkenaz (which, in this context, meant "Germany")

Dear Physicists and Physics fans,
I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th.
Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩🔬

There is absolutely no good faith reason to use the term “AI” for any technology one is selling.
It serves only for dazzling people into thinking the technology has capabilities that it doesn’t.
If one wants a technology to be trustworthy, just use a transparent, informative term without hype.
