Das betrifft dann demnächst auch den metalhead.club mit seinen Monitoring- und CDN-Servern.

Muss mir die neuen Preise mal ansehen und dann ggf. Konsequenzen ziehen. Vllt können wir die höheren Preise auch stemmen. Wird sich zeigen.

Bin jedenfalls ziemlich angepisst. Nicht wegen Hetzner. Sondern wegen all derer, die den KI Hype mittragen und den Wahnsinn passieren lassen. Nichts wird besser - es wird vieles einfach nur schlechter für alle anderen.

There's so much wrong with this story... (including the headline)

"Ex–Google exec says degrees in law and medicine are a waste of time because they take so long to complete that AI will catch up by graduation"

Videos of humanoid robots are everywhere — but are they really about to take off?

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with James Vincent to separate reality from hype and provide insight into what’s driving interest in humanoid robots.

My current favourite introductory (undie-level) #textbooks on #QuantumComputing #QC are these:

• "Introduction to Quantum Computing: From a Layperson to a Programmer in 30 Steps"
— H Wong (EE), 2024, https://shorturl.at/1wdEz

• "Introduction to Classical and Quantum Computing" [FREE]
— T Wong (physicist), 2022, https://shorturl.at/rNjRw

Both books are aimed at college seniors majoring in CS or maths. While these texts may be a bit clunky for the physics or EE upperclassmen's liking, they could serve as a gentler introduction to #QuantumMechanics #QM for the freshmen in these disciplines.

I prefer H Wong's book, but T Wong's book is also superb (and it is free). I recommend the students read both. This sure is a rare case of two Wongs making one right.

Also, EE upperclassmen should read H Wong's other books:

• "Quantum Computing Architecture and Hardware for Engineers: Step by Step, Volume 1"
— H Wong, 2025, https://shorturl.at/4Fe1e

• "Quantum Computing Architecture and Hardware for Engineers: Step by Step, Volume 2" [FREE]
— H Wong, 2025, https://shorturl.at/WafIP

NB—QC maybe but a #hype, for the time being. It may yet grow into something practicable, in the near future. But then, it may not. Be that as it may, the concepts that sprang from Feynman's 1982 seminal paper on the physics of #ReversibleComputing are fascinating all their own, so the undergrads in physics, EE, CS, and maths should at least be familiar with them. After all, no substantive knowledge is ever superfluous. And more importantly, QC can be a springboard, an enticement even, for these kids to dive into the fascinating ocean of QM, or at least dip into an intriguing classical computing pond of #ProbabilisticComputing.

“Companies want to present AIs in a very human-like way, but I think that is a very dangerous path to take,” Wooldridge said. “We need to understand that these are just glorified spreadsheets, they are tools and nothing more than that.

Maybe we need AIs to talk to us in the voice of the Star Trek computer. You would never believe it was a human being.”

OpenClaw wird als KI-Agent gefeiert, liefert technisch jedoch wenig, was nicht längst möglich gewesen wäre – nur eben ohne den großen Buzzword-Zirkus.
Der vermeintliche Innovationssprung entpuppt sich als geschickt orchestrierte virale Inszenierung. Was hier wirklich beeindruckt, ist nicht die Technologie, sondern das Marketing: maximale Aufmerksamkeit bei minimaler Substanz. Ein Paradebeispiel dafür, wie man aus Bekanntem einen lauten, aber inhaltlich erstaunlich dünnen Hype konstruiert.
