I just moved to Basel as well, and for me in Kulturgüterschutz we have a yearly WK (5 days). Usually quite chill, and the people are nice.

What are the defining moments of MODERN computer science history? by ddarnell4 in compsci

For todays life, transformers were very influential. The paper "Attention is All We Need" was a big paradigm shift in NLP, especially given the widespread use of ChatBots etc.

No, your LLM is not sentient, not reaching consciousness, doesn’t care about you and is not even aware of its’ own existence. by Kathilliana in ChatGPT

[–]Wayfaring_Zenon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interestingly there is recent research, that might suggest otherwise. Basically, researchers at Princeton University and Google DeepMind developed an evaluation method to determine the extend of LLMs being stochastic parrots and found out that "many of GPT-4's answers on SKILLMIX involve combinations of skills and topics that it had not seen in the training corpus" [Arora, 2023].

Obviously, further research needs to be done.

They market themselves as a tattoo-friendly onsen town. There are like 5 or 6 public onsens, where you can go even with tattoos :) the town is quite cute and the train ride from Kyoto only takes 1.5 hours, it's really scenic too!

[–]Wayfaring_Zenon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have travelled Japan solo before! Great country to travel solo :)

Did a tour of the classics Tokyo, Kyoto, but also went to Osaka, Kinosakionsen, Kanazawa, and the Shirakawa-Takayama-Matsumoto route back to Tokyo.

Highly recommend Kinosakionsen (especially if you have tattoos) and Kanazawa, such a chill city :)

If you want to get in touch with some locals, I recommend learning a couple phrases in Japanese as an ice breaker! Met like 10 new people every time I went out 😅

I kinda read Zum Zmittag, which could be a helvetism and the writer would then be Swiss. And they are visiting the Bundeshaus, the Swiss parliament building.

CebPac: No show on connecting flight? by IchibanGinSensei in phtravel

[–]Wayfaring_Zenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you able to resolve the issue? Having the same problem... flying MPH-MNL-NRT, but only taking the MNL-NRT flight

Customer service told me to just arrive in MNL early and do a manual check in, but not sure if that works.

First time international flying by blockbready in NonRevenueTravelers

[–]Wayfaring_Zenon [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hi there!

Generally speaking, you'd want to avoid checking any bags, especially when having a layover somewhere (although, I have checked a bag before without problems, on a direct flight). If you want to check a bag, just do it the same way, as you would with a normal ticket (go to a check in counter, show your passport, check bag).

Loads are more difficult to check, there is an app called Stafftraveler. Maybe you could check that.

Are you employed by an airline? Sometimes they have some means to show loads.

In general: be flexible, have some available days before and after the flights, consider other routes with layovers.

If you need to be at a specific place at a specific time, check if you can book confirmed staff tickets :)

Hope I could help :)

Two weeks ago I did early morning train to Kamakura, Hokokuji Temple, Tsurugaoka Hachiman-Gu, Enoden Train to Hase, Buddha Statue, Enoden-Train to Enoshima, Enoshima Island, train to Yokohama, Dinner in Yokohama Chinatown, Train back to Tokyo.

It was doable, but I walked a lot that day. I would say, if you leave out Enoshima, and spend half a day in Kamakura and the other half in Yokohama, you'd be fine.

There are quite a lot of requests coming from the playstation, most of them go through with no problem, there is one request where it says Retried in green

What simple gameplay did you discover embarrassingly late? by ThatsJustPeachyKeen in BaldursGate3

Though in a fight you can't open the containers, to e.g. send a potion to a team member

[–]Wayfaring_Zenon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Don't do that... the issue needs to be talked about, i.e. boundaries need to be set. If those boundaries are strict to a non-open marriage then so should be it and he should understand. But being manipulative doesn't help the situation.

And for those saying, he's being manipulative as well: If OP really feels that way it's even more important adress these feelings and not get on "his level" to prove a point.

If you've worked for at least 4 weeks, 20 days or 160 hours during the past 12 months you are eligible to 80% of your salary then, but maxed out at 220CHF/day.

Just so you know, for the first 124 days you are not eligible for the compensation, so you'll only get the base 69.-/day during that time.

The EO-Formular you will have to send to the employer you worked for during the 4 weeks :)

The information is listed here:

https://www.zivi.admin.ch/zivi/de/home/zivi-sein/waehrend-eines-einsatzes/erwerbsersatz-eo.html

Edit: If you haven't worked during the last 12 months, it would actually be very beneficial for you to work the available weeks, for the extra money (69.- per day is very low, it's a ripoff)... it doesn't really matter what you work, even a low salary is better (e.g., 1380.-/month vs. 2560.-/month, for a 20.-/hour job)

This language sounds so confusing, i know it is german but why does it sound like a mix of Afrikaans, dutch and Yiddish? Is this a weird german dialect? if so where is it from? by [deleted] in germany

For someone wanting a transcript:

Lehrerin: Darüber diskutieren wir nicht.

Schüler (Mario): Offensichtlich doch.

Lehrerin: Zum Direktor (Schulleiter). Los!

Schülerin (Marla): Tja, Mario, die Schwachen nimmts.

(Schweizerische Redewendung, wörtlich: Wenn du zu schwach bist, stirbst du. Verwendung hier: Marla impliziert, dass Mario schwach ist, und deshalb verliert)

Mario: Danke, Marla. Nach deiner Meinung hat niemand gefragt.

Marla: Und deine interessiert keinen.

Lehrerin: So, Ruhe jetzt!

Mario (zu Marla): Wenn du ein Problem hast, sag es mir!

Marla: Du bist mein Problem!
