If you’re interested in finding out, why don’t you buy one and try for yourself? They’re not that expensive (at least the non-electronic ones)… I hear some people like it. And I mean if you’re not fond of the current situation, you should switch up things and try something different anyways.

(Edit: I’d get a cheap one, see if I like it and the either throw it in the trash or have learned something and then decide if I want some $250 device with all the bells and whistles and buttplug.io integration. But YMMV on that.)

I think what you mean is compound words vs other words?

Wikipedia says there are lots of compound words in English.

Plaintiff is borrowed from Old French. Litigation from Latin…

I suppose it boils down to when and under what circumstances a term was needed to describe something. Sometimes there was a word from another language available. Or the whole subject came from a different culture. And sometimes they just described it with a compound of what it resembles. And how to make up terms probably also depends on what is en vogue at the time.

My summary is oversimplified. I still think it’s the correct answer to OP’s question: is there physical evidence. Because there isn’t anything physical. But there are written records from a bit later, suggesting that somebody with that name must have existed. Glad someone else thinks I picked the correct article. Seems it’s not that easy to find good information. The English speaking internet is filled with low quality efforts to portray the facts in a way they’d like to have them.

I have a few good books though. Back when I was young (and became an atheist,) I used to read a lot about philosophy, the political message of the New Testament. And what life was like in that time.

Agree. But that specific article seems pretty alright. Also talks about the relics and history records for example by Tacitus.

There also is a Wikipedia article which I think is not written that well. And a lot of education material by churches or religious organizations which I did not cite for obvious reasons.

(And the German Wikipedia article about sources for the historicity of Jesus seems very good. But it’s not exactly OP’s question and I don’t know if it helps: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Außerchristliche_antike_Quellen_zu_Jesus_von_Nazaret )

Tl;dr: No.

My opinion: It’s a nice story. And with stories the most important thing is what it teaches us or makes us feel. Not that it’s true. Maybe they took inspiration from several preaching hippies who lived back then and made one story out of that. Exaggerated everything and made stuff up. Probably all of it because the bible was’t even written close to his supposed lifetime. It’d be like you now writing a story about a dude who died in 1870. Without any previous records to get information from. [Edit: The first things have probably been written down like 40-50 years after his death.]

And I mean if Jesus existed, he would certainly disapprove of what people do (and did) in his name.

bummer.

Ah. maybe hand it over to the next person? I suppose people still need to switch painlessly? But I get it. We used to host lots of stuff in my university years. A forum, chat, classifieds, filesharing… A big photo album for all our pictures and events… As far as I know all of that has gone. Either due to lack of interest or nobody was able and willing to pick it up.

I think most people here have went through the 5 stages of grief. And at this point they don’t care anymore. At least not to the degree they used to. It’s been a year. Life goes on. Don’t waste your time on being negative and spamming someone who once let you down. Look forward and spend your time on something useful. At least that’s my opinion.

But yeah, it’s a question. I just think other people think it’s pointless and they don’t care. And some of them are going to downvote you for that even in No stupid questions. And lots of other people aren’t going to upvote something like this. Hence resulting in that ratio.

Didn’t Finland have an entire culture of doing spoofs on old German shit, like TV series? I’ve seen Die Kühe and I think it’s absolutely awesome. (The Dutch also did a good impression in Jiskefet.)

And I remember watching / listening to lots of M. A. Numminen. Not sure if that’s just the stuff that found its way back to Germany and me… But nonetheless…

The thing with the tv series might be a thing of the past, though. I’m not sure if anyone still remembers “Der Alte” or “Derrick”. It’s probably not that funny without the context. And how we watch TV has certainly changed during the last decades.

Why both? Isn’t one enough?

Alright. I think I’m fine with that. I’ll read the documentation and see if I can find some time over the weekend to set it up. I’ll report my success in case I remember. It’s going to take me some time to notice missing information, though. And I’m not sure how caching of images works. We’ll see. I hope I don’t get banned, but I don’t really care that much. Thanks for the insights.

What does it do with threads, just display the messages sequentially? Or not at all?

Guess it’s mautrix then and I have my answer. Thanks!

Thanks. Why do you say appservice is old? Because of the used technology? Or because their last commit is from 9 months ago?

I don’t really need double puppeting. I’m just interested in funnelling out data from discord and it’s just me and my account. I should clarify that in my post…

Thanks for the suggestions. I’m gonna take a closer look at the features of both and probably choose mautrix, since I already run their WhatsApp bridge. Maybe someone else chimes in and can contribute their experience with the out-of-your-element bridge.

Sagt auch der WDR:

I think most people use something like exllamav2 or vllm or use GGUF to do inference and it seems neither of those projects have properly implemented multimodality or this specific model architecture, yet.

You might just be at the forefront of things and there isn’t yet any beaten path you could follow.

The easiest thing you could do is just use something that already exists, be it 4bit models, wait a few weeks and then upgrade. And I mean you can also always quantize models yourself and set the parameters however you like, if you have some inference framework that supports your model including the adapters for vision and has the quantization levels you’re interested in…

Yeah, the internet is an echo chamber. You get lots of bad advice here. And urban myths are regularly being upvoted to no end. Especially here on Lemmy.

Usually a doctor should know things, they studied medicine for years.

And there are people with certain attitudes… People who only respond well to arguments of authority… And people who have a different perspective on subjectivity/objectivity and the factual world. Lots of people just want to believe something. And they’ll search for any fake news supporting them or letting them believe whatever supports what they’re set on.

I’d say if you’re intelligent and know how to do research, and have the time to do so, look up things and learn things. If you can’t do that: Stick with authority.

And most importantly: Don’t ask on Lemmy or Reddit if you don’t want to talk to random people and listen to them.

Ja. Ich finde das auch schlimm. Vor allem, dass jeder Mensch unbedingt klar Stellung beziehen muss und das im Internet groß breitreten be jeder Gelegenheit. Mir tun einfach die Menschen dort leid die darunter leiden oder ihr Leben verlieren. Da fällt es mir auch echt schwer Sympathie für eine der Seiten aufzubringen und da zu verkünden wer Richtig liegt und wer keine Daseinsberechtigung erhält…

Ich skippe seit dem alle Artikel und Diskussionen zu dem Thema im Internet. Die sind meines Erachtens fast alle toxisch.

Also vor Oktober 2023 und der jüngsten Eskalation des Konflikts habe ich hier selten was zu Israel gelesen. Also würde ich da nicht zustimmen. Seit dem ist das Internet voll mit Hass und starken Meinungen dazu. Auch hier auf Lemmy.
