Fasziniert mich noch immer wie sich unter Tourist*innen der Glaube verbreiten konnte dass unser schirch-grau-nebelig-feuchtes Wien im Dezember mit den überteuerten Christkindlmärkten ein Top-Reiseziel sein soll

Kennt jemand gute Tools zur Visualisierung von Stammbäumen, die auch Zweitehen, Scheidungen, uneheliche Kinder etc. abbilden können?

Überschätzte KI:

In einer Studie sollten Programmierer:innen mit KI oder ohne KI arbeiten - Fachleute schätzten vorab: Mit KI würden sie um 40% schneller sein

Nach dem Coden schätzten die Programmierer:innen selbst, sie waren mit KI 20% schneller

Es stellte sich heraus: Sie waren um 20% langsamer

Neoliberalismus und Deregulierung bedeutete nie einfach „Bürokratieabbau“, im Gegenteil: im Alltag der Menschen gab es einen enormen Zuwachs an Bürokratie und Formularkrieg, wie die frz. Soziologin Béatrice Hibou dokumentiert.
Amthor redet im DLF davon, dass für Bürokratieabbau Vertrauen nötig ist und nicht so viel dokumentiert werden soll, und sagt das zwar allgemein, aber meint offensichtlich nur Unternehmen.

Er meint nicht Bürgergeld. Da wäre das sinnvoll. Den Bürger*innen vertrauen sie ja nicht.

Very much looking forward to this conference in Innsbruck next week! I am going to talk about concepts and experiences of (un)freedom and strategies of escaping imprisonment in 18th century Habsburg workhouses.

All early modern historians should use microfilm readers regularly, just to understand the very early modern sensation that there is a higher power and it is actively trying to punish you.
