Excellent new book arguing that we need to take the early modern household more seriously in order to understand the emergence of fossil-fuel based societies. An important addition to energy history scholarship #skystorians lup.be/book/fossil-...

DFG erlaubt Einsatz von KI in der Begutachtung.

Wenn wir jetzt noch die AI dazu kriegen, die komplette Forschung zu machen, haben wir den Menschen komplett von der Last des Forschungsprozzeses befreit und er kann sich komplett auf wichtige Dinge wie Reisekostenerstattungsanträge konzentrieren.
