Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 05/09/2026FWIW, the skin colors defined in the source code are: pale, peach, yellow, tan, brown, deep 020
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Hab ja als Hochschullehrer inzwischen schon einiges gesehen, aber das ist eine Premiere: Student gibt Powerpoint-Präsentation für seinen Bachelorarbeits-Antrittsvortrag ab. In den Foliennotizen: präzise Anweisungen von ChatGPT, was er erzählen soll, wie er es betonen soll, wo er hinzeigen soll... 030
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Die abgeschnittene Vorschau verspricht leider mehr, als der Artikel halten kann. 000
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Just found the thread and am unsure about the plagiarism, too. Frontend JS, CSS, HTML etc. look different at first glance. However, I'm a little bit disappointed by the "credits" page on the darkhours.io page. WayBack Machine: web.archive.org/web/20260802... 100
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 01/07/2026TIL that there is a whole PhD thesis (in German) on legal aspects of witchcraft and magic. 030
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Anthropic released a new desktop application: Claude Science - which is actually an open-source tool called Operon (they don't hide it) primarily built for life-science research. Let's do a literature overview. Immediately, Claude Science attributes a reference to the wrong author. This is fine. 060
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 23/06/2026An bayerischen Hochschulen ist in Zukunft verboten, die Verwendung von KI in Haus- und Abschlussarbeiten zu verbieten. StM Blume: "Wir wollen in dieser Novelle auch sicherstellen, dass noch mehr Freiheit wehen kann an den bayerischen Hochschulen und Innovation." www.bayern.de/bericht-aus-... 010
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Yeah, might be AI-generated. However, the Fibonacci sequence makes sense here. These numbers are commonly chosen to estimate the amount of work needed for implementing a feature (as a unitless, abstract, intentionally imprecise measure). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_st... 130
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Seems that the changes for this year did not have the desired effect... www.bbc.com/news/article... 010
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Oh, they even put their confidential strategic document online for everyone to find - complete with language switcher between English and Hebrew?! web.archive.org/web/20260402... Maybe a little bit too on the nose? 020
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 13/05/2026"BlackCore did not respond to repeated messages sent via a contact form on its website" This might be because the contact form was non-functional by design. There should have been a pop-up 'confirming' submission but an extraneous '}' in the JavaScript code prevented its execution. 152
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Oh sorry - I seem to have misremembered that! It seems that the USB connector on the early TipToi models did not allow for charging. That was never an issue for us - just replace the batteries (if you have fresh ones lying around) - no need to plug in pen and wait until it is charged. 100
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Inspired by the Mirage paper¹, I asked ChatGPT to identify an image I did not actually upload. It described this image in some detail but said that the text was to blurry. Luckily, it could upscale the non-existing image on request. chatgpt.com/share/69f8c7... ¹) arxiv.org/abs/2603.21687 130

Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 26/04/2026It's nice that some people in the US still celebrate the first amendment, given that it seems to be a little bit under attack by the current administration. 000
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Und wird wohl auch nicht leichter, professionelle Christdemokraten zu finden, vor denen Friedrich Merz sich nicht verteidigt. 021
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 23/04/2026In der Leseprobe haben sie übrigens den Rutschenkopf rausretuschiert. Dass im 1. Stock gleich ein Kind durch die Tür in der Außenwand stürzen wird, war ihnen aber anscheinend egal. leseprobe.kohlverlag.de/html5/p13229... 000
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Interessant: der Tankrabatt wurde 2022 regional sehr unterschiedlich weitergegeben. Insbesondere in Bayern ist nur die Hälfte der Entlastung bei den Tankenden angekommen - im Norden mehr als 100% (was mMn auch ein Artefakt der Messmethode sein kann). www.rwi-essen.de/presse/wisse... 020
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 10/04/2026I always check hormuzstatus.com - the site is obviously broken, but you know that saying: a broken dashboard shows the correct status of a broken system twice a day. 110
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 05/04/2026→ Was mich ein bisschen wundert: die haben die Quintile bestimmt als Verhältnis Fleischkonsum / Gesamtenergieaufnahme.

Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Von außen natürlich schwierig zu beurteilen, aber die vermutlich ursprüngliche Quelle für diese Information, IranWatch, hat seit 2008 keine neuen Erkenntnisse zum Pasteur-Institut Iran mehr dokumentiert.

Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Claude really is a habitual liar. (No new insight - it just warrants emphasizing) 120
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Oh, es scheint, als käme die Idee von einem Informatik-Didaktiker der TU München. Seine Habilitationsschrift (2000) wirkt wie die Blaupause für den bayerischen Gymnasial-Lehrplan. www.edu.sot.tum.de/fileadmin/w0... 110
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Huh, does the router ban really *only* pertain to consumer-grade networking devices? There doesn't seem to be a general ban for foreign-made professional routers, just for some Chinese manufacturers, right? www.fcc.gov/sites/defaul... nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/... www.fcc.gov/supplychain/... 021
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 23/03/2026No, "Gasse" indeed means "alley". I guess that a lot of these Gassen were originally built rather small and got street-sized when the city was heavily transformed during the 19th century. (See also: german.stackexchange.com/questions/25...) 000
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Argh, I should have checked the replies before embarking on my own journey through Google Books. Random find: 041
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 22/03/2026It seems that incognito mode does not hide the approximate location from Claude. (The location is clearly derived from IP address geolocation in my case). 131
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Minor stuff. E.g., claiming that I was wrong about the Arduino Due - and then backpedaling when confronted. Oh, and it also mentioned where I live - which got me a little bit concerned. When asked about the source, it admitted that it got this information from the current chat session's metadata. 231
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Nice :) But it also invents stuff that I never wrote and adds hallucinated details. "Anything negative about them?" returns some interesting insights, too. 130
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Huh, why? In V161179, *all* voters say that Hillary Clinton stands for more spending - Republicans just think she is more extreme. There does not seem to be any U-shaped correlation to voting preference either (if we use the breakdown by party preference as proxy). www.thearda.com/data-archive... 100
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Question V161178 actually asks where people see themselves. And here it seems clear that Republican voters prefer generally fewer government services, and Democrat voters prefer more government services (with few people choosing the most extreme options). www.thearda.com/data-archive... 110
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 14/03/2026I don't know anything about that study, so I just had a quick look. The diagram's title confused me: It seems that V161179 only asks "where would you see Hillary Clinton on this issue", (and V161180 is about Trump's stance). www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/ICPSR/st... www.thearda.com/data-archive... 200
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 13/03/2026PSA: If Zenodo.org currently blocks you "due to unusual traffic from your network", it's not actually the network that it at fault. Instead, it seems that they check whether the Chrome version in the user agent string is >143. If not, you get this error message. Solution: upgrade browser. 101
Raphael Wimmer @raphaelwimmer.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Umm, no. The bot only changed the social media card in the HTML file. The JSON file used for rendering the page is still unchanged, right? The screenshot also shows the old page, not the new one. Bad, sloppy bot! [@dpaessler.bsky.social - oh, it feels rude to scold someone else's personal agent] 100
