  5. Sie sagten ihrer Mutter
    Kinder werde sie nie haben
    Und als sie geboren wurde
    Nannte ihre Mutter sie
    Doch

    Sie sagten sie sei schwach
    Und klein und krank
    Und dass sie nicht
    Lange zu leben habe
    Doch

    Ihre Mutter hoffte
    Das sie in einer Welt aufwuchs
    In der alle gleich behandelt wurden
    Aber leider
    Doch

    Sie sagten Mathe und Autos
    Seien nichts für Mädchen
    Dass sie sich interessiert
    Für Puppen und für Kleidung
    Doch

  7. The Web I grew up with and that grew up with me was already slowly fading. The Web of many people and organizations having their own small website. Capitalism and convenience lead to a concentration onto a small number of platforms and apps, but mostly these platforms let the rest be. People and small organizations and groups could still have their little website.

  12. A UX fail I get annoyed with is a product deciding a text is too long, showing "Read more", only to reveal that the text would have comfortably fit. Today I saw an egregious example in Whatsapp.

    Now I know Hanlon's razor tells me that this isn't intentional, but due to the incompetence of the developers.

    But is it?

    Is it really more likely that the front end developers of a trillion dollar company can't get this right than that someone intentionally "improved" engagement metrics?

  13. If Uzbekistan wins or ties today against UAE, they will - for the first time ever - have qualified for the FIFA world cup final tournament!

    If not they still have a path to the final tournament, but it gets messy.

  14. Good news: languages that are more widespread have a higher complexity. This means that underserved languages are more likely to be learned well using a smaller corpus, which could help a bit with the rich-get-richer problem of LLMs and existing corpora.

  18. How can LLMs, Knowledge Graphs and Search Engines be combined to best serve users? What are the strengths and limitations of these technologies?

    Aidan Hogan (Chile, previously DERI, Linked data), Luna Dong (Meta, previously Amazon and Google), Gerhard Weikum (MPI, Yago), and myself (Wikimedia, previously Google) have been invited to give keynotes on this topic, and wrote a paper together to capture some of the ideas we were presenting.

  19. Sie sagten sie sei unanständig
    So ein Leben sei nicht richtig
    Benannten sie mit unanständigen Worten
    Was sie sich denn erlaube
    Doch

    Sie sagten das geht doch nicht
    So ein Leben sei kein Leben
    Das ist jetzt schon sehr anders
    Das ist nicht einfach nur Neid
    Doch

    Sie sagten wir sind halt nicht so
    Und wollen auch nicht so sein
    Wir sind glücklich wie wir sind
    Und deswegen darfst du glücklich nicht sein
    Doch

  20. Today I got confused by this line in "Beat it":

    "Showing how funky and strong is your fight"

    What did Michael Jackson mean with "funky"?
