Day 4(?) Learning #chess on #duolingo

Finish the first unit which is movements.

I already knew all of it, but this new method works for me better than bf trying to teach

Hope I can actually play by.... idk. August?

I get really anxious/frustrated playing with experienced people

Da habe ich mir doch vor ein paar Wochen von meiner chinesischen Mitbewohnerin zeigen lassen wie sie das macht mit dem Tippen auf dem Handy oder Rechner und fand es ziemlich kompliziert.

Jetzt mache ich es selbst - nach nur zwei Wochen chinesisch lernen. Dabei lerne ich die Schriftzeichen besser als wenn ich sie aus der Auswahl zusammensuche die #duolingo mir vorschlägt denn die enthält nur bekannte Schriftzeichen - und gleichzeitig über ich die Lautsprache zu schreiben

qwant news | ‘Head-Exploding Moment’: Uber Executive Questions Value of Company’s AI Investment

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Uber’s chief operating officer, Andrew Macdonald, publicly questioned whether the company’s hefty AI spend is delivering real value, noting that higher AI token usage has not translated into a clear boost in useful consumer features. His concerns were sparked by CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga’s admission that Uber had already exhausted its 2026 Claude Code AI budget, prompting internal debates about token consumption, cost trade‑offs and potential effects on hiring. Macdonald emphasized that AI costs, while often perceived as “free” by individual employees experimenting with new use cases, accumulate substantially at the corporate level, and that executives have struggled to link spending directly to tangible outcomes. This skepticism mirrors a broader industry trend, with firms like Duolingo pulling back on AI‑centric performance metrics after employees argued that aggressive “token‑maxxing” did not necessarily improve work.
