when I learned Japanese in university I learned writing with the exact method by James W. Heisig. So I didn't used Japanese for about 20 Years since, I forgot almost everything I learned, except the Kanji. I can still remember most of them. It's crazy!


That said, I think there is this thing in between of developing LLMs and using LLMs via APIs and the lines are of cause blurry: Training LLMs (or other neural networks). So best I think is to start digging on the surface and going deeper as long as you feel comfortable. Maybe at a certain point you will have the wish for more power full hardware. Thats the point where you need to decide how much to get invested or to rent a cluster.


That's mostly the thing with safety measurements. If they are there you do not recognize them and if they are missing and something happens it's hard to proof if it would have changed anything.

that's not necessarely the weapon LRAD, Long Range Acoustic Devices may also be used for communication. I would be really alerted if this kind of weapon would be used in Germany.

> In the first half of 2020, Bad Homburg's fire brigade and city police used an LRAD 100X system more than 60 times to deliver COVID-19 information.

The page also lists offensive/anti-protest usages in New Zealand & USA plus a number of other places as well. For Australia the usage is somewhat ambiguous but even used just as an "announcement" it can be turned up strong enough to be painful.


trust me, this is absolutely NOT about liking local manufacturers ...


I am very glad that we have Chaos Computer Club in Germany. It's by far more than just a time and place where nerds meetup to do computer, they are already some kind of institution, they have a voice in politics and often requested for independent consulting. But "doing computer" is how it all started.


FPV car racing incoming!


make that multiplayer work and take my money!


That's good to know, but it leaves you without many options, since all the experts also suggest not to confront them with reality. So how to interact with somebody who as a psychosis and sees a complete twisted reality?


Call an ambulance. Acute psychosis needs immediate treatment, they may easily hurt themselves or others. The psychosis can be stopped with one injection, don't prolong their suffering. Before the ambulance arrives, try to reassure them that they are safe, there is peace around them and help is on the way. Once the ambulance arrives, go away - it might get messy.


I am not sure from which country you gain your perspective, but in Germany it's not what's gonna happen. Your human right is the highest good, and police or any doctor is only permitted to force you to take drugs or put you in a clinic when you are acute suicidal or you harm others. Unfortunately I know that first hand.


A person with delusions like that is a risk to themselves and others.


It used to be also a squared code consisting of 12 digits, you could receive via SMS to 22122, but this method is deprecated or already even terminated. Has anybody tested it recently?
