@teilenswert neben dem #Leibniz-Institut gibt es ja auch Leibniz-Schulen. die können mit gutem Beispiel bzgl. Herstellung von #ChancenGerechtigkeit vorangehen.
gibt es hierzu schon erkenntnisse ?

ist das #LeibnizInstitutFürBildungschancen hierzu erreichbar
And yes, that is a big issue with the SaaS token vendors. Claude, OpenAI, MS, and the rest do use whatever user data they can get. I am not arguing their horrific behavior.
I'm talking about locally running Qwen, or Deepseek, or other FLOSS models.
That local LLM running on my machine only sees and uses data I provide. And a control-c in the relevant console window kills the LLM.
What folks do not realize is this is #Leibniz's ultimate dream, of being able to do #calculus with words, sentences, and more. He tried to do single word-vectors, but even that had to wait for Word2Vec in 2012.
Die #FUBerlin lädt am 15. April die gesamte Universitätsgemeinschaft ein zu den „Frühlingsimpulsen" – ein neues Format, das den Ernst-Reuter-Tag ablöst.
Highlight: die #Leibniz-Lecture mit Barbara Vetter, Leibniz-Preisträgerin 2026. Das Thema ihrer Lecture: „Möglichkeiten denken".

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's (1646–1716) first great mathematical achievement was the ‘arithmetic quadrature’ of the circle through his alternating series: π/4 = 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - 1/11 + ...
He communicated the result to his mathematical mentor Christiaan Huygens (1629–95), who thought it ‘very beautiful and very pleasing’. Isaac Newton (1642–1726) welcomed Leibniz’s work as ‘very elegant’. Leibniz himself wrote that there was no simpler or more beautiful way of expressing the area of a circle using rational numbers.
In a short note concerning the beauty of theorems, Leibniz wrote:
‘Theorems are not intelligible except by their signs or characters. […] The beauty of theorems consists in the beautiful arrangement of their characters.’
To illustrate ‘beautiful arrangement of characters’, Leibniz gave the example of a theorem concerning Berthet’s curve (shown in red in 1st attached image). The detail of its definition is not important here, but it is defined with reference to an arc AC centred at B.
Leibniz's result was a way of finding the tangent to the curve at E: take the tangent to the arc at its intersection with BE (i.e., at D), and find the point F such that FD ∶ DE ∶∶ EB ∶ BD. Then EF is the desired tangent (see 1st attached image).
Why is there a ‘beautiful arrangement of characters’? Because the proportion FD ∶ DE ∶∶ EB ∶ BD is easily remembered via a mnemonic: one can draw the path FD ⋅ DE ⋅ EB ⋅ BD without raising one's pen (2nd attached image).
