Im Deutschen spricht man ja die Einerstellen vor den Zehnerstellen: 42 ist "zweiundvierzig". Mich stört das schon lange, und dachte, ich probier mal eine Weile aus "vierzigzwei" zu sagen.

Stellt sich raus: Es gibt seit 2004 den Verein https://zwanzigeins.jetzt, der sich für diese "unverdrehte" Sprechweise einsetzt! Sie führe zu weniger Lernhindernissen und Zahlendrehern.

Der Verein hat unter anderem ein 60-seitiges Positionspapier ausgearbeitet, aus dem ich ein paar Sachen berichten mag! 🧵

@Anarchoesel Der verlinkte Ring arbeitet auf 125kHz (LF), dein Handy auf 13,56MHz (HF) - deswegen siehst Du da wahrscheinlich nichts.
Lesegeräte für LF RFID gibt es aber zuhauf.

@malwaretech That's the memory feature. It effectively builds a dossier on you. Probably wasn't that hard to identify you.

I really don’t like ChatGPT’s new memory dossier

Last month ChatGPT got a major upgrade. As far as I can tell the closest to an official announcement was this tweet from @OpenAI: Starting today [April 10th 2025], memory …
