2024-02-26
Python, a high-level programming language, was initially released February 20, 1991, by Guido van Rossum, Netherlands, It emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant whitespace. Its standard library supports various programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. Python 1.0 in 1994 introduced many core features. Python 2.0 in 2000 added list comprehensions and garbage collection. Ended with 2.7. Python 3.0 in 2008 was a major rewrite, not backward compatible, with changes like print function, Unicode support, and syntax alterations. Python was named after the British comedy group Monty Python. Philosophy of the Python language: By typing "import this" into a Python interpreter, you'll be presented with the "Zen of Python" by Tim Peters, which includes aphorisms such as "Beautiful is better than ugly" and "Simple is better than complex". It is widely used for a variety of applications, from web development to data analysis and artificial intelligence. Python is one of the most popular programming languages. Its popularity is due to the rise of data science, machine learning, and its role in academic and educational settings. Python's simplicity and versatility, combined with a strong community and extensive libraries, contribute to its widespread use and ongoing popularity across diverse fields.

Epilepsy Day 2024
2024-02-14
International Epilepsy Day, 2nd Monday of February, raises awareness about epilepsy, a neurological condition affecting people across all ages, ethnicities, and geographical regions. Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures, (Wikipedia) ...abnormal, excessive, and synchronized electrical discharge in (neurons) brain cells... It is one of the world's oldest recognized conditions, with written records dating back to 4000 BC. The term "epilepsy" derives from the Greek word for "attack," reflecting the sudden onset of seizures. The condition's neurological basis was not understood until the 19th century. Globally, epilepsy affects over 50 million people, making it one of the most common neurological diseases. Incidence rates are highest in young children and older adults. Up to 80% of people with epilepsy live in low- and middle-income countries, where access to treatment and care can be significantly limited. The discovery of epilepsy's causes and treatments has evolved over centuries, from ancient misconceptions associating seizures with supernatural phenomena, to the 19th century, when scientists like John Hughlings Jackson began to understand its neurological underpinnings. Today, treatments include medications, surgical interventions, and dietary changes, though approximately 30% of individuals with epilepsy live with treatment-resistant forms of the condition.

Lord Byron Birth, January 22 | 2/2
2024-01-22
Politically active, Byron championed many social causes. His ultimate act of heroism came during the Greek War of Independence. Sympathizing with the Greek struggle, Byron used his personal funds to support the Greek fleet and later led a campaign at Missolonghi. Tragically, he contracted a fever and died on April 19, 1824, at the young age of 36, becoming a national hero in Greece. Byron's legacy extends beyond poetry. His daughter, Ada Lovelace, born from his marriage to Anne Isabella Milbanke, emerged as a pioneering figure in computing. Her work on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, particularly her notes and algorithms, are considered foundational in the field, making her one of the first computer programmers. Lord Byron's blend of literary brilliance, personal charisma, athletic prowess, and a life marked by passion, scandal, and political engagement encapsulates the Romantic spirit. His poetry's enduring appeal and his daughter Ada's contributions to computer science underscore the lasting impact of his multifaceted legacy. 2/2 More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Byron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace Art by Dall-E, Text supported by ChatGPT.
AWS car racing event @Bayer to learn and connect artificial intelligence enthusiasts. On June 21, 2023, Bayer will participate in an AWS-organized DeepRacer event. In 4 hours, teams will program small cars using machine learning algorithms to race in tracks and compete to win. From their website, it is a “cloud-based 3D racing simulator, fully autonomous 1/18th scale race car driven by reinforcement learning”. A fun way and excellent opportunity to get hands-on experience in machine learning. The main events will run in Berlin, São Paulo, and St. Louis, and many colleagues will participate remotely in the race from other cities not only in Germany, but also in Poland, Spain, and other countries. You can support the event with logistics or learn some machine learning and be a participant, or just be there to meet other AI / data scientists from other departments, since many colleagues from Marketing, R&D, IT, Product Supply, Controlling, Facility Management, and Site Security, are co-organizing or participating in this. Imagine how much you will learn. For more information about the AWS DeepRacer, see: https://aws.amazon.com/deepracer/

Palimpsest: Grenzen ausloten 🎷🎻🎶 Saxophon, Streicher, Stimme. Eine ungewöhnliche Besetzung. Nicht nur die Solistin ist gefordert. Ganz tief, ganz hoch. Auch Jakob Manz bewegt sich außerhalb seiner Komfortzone. Michael Wertmüller hat das Stück eigens für Manz komponiert. Basierend auf einem Gedicht von Wolfgang Hilbig. Komponiert mit Anleihen aus dem Jazz. Klassisch, romantisch, stellenweise expressionistisch. Ein Werk, das zuvor auf einer kleinen Bühne in Bitterfeld uraufgeführt wurde. Umrahmt von Werken von Stallaert und Dvořák. Ein Gänsehaut-Abend. Am 19. Mai 2023 in Erholungshaus.
Rein ins Solo 🎹 Am 16. Mai 2023 erwartet Sie ein anspruchsvolles Programm im Erholungshaus. Giorgi Gigashvili, ein technisch brillanter Pianist. Die Sonate in h-Moll von Liszt, ein Koloss. Der Fingersatz, eine Herausforderung. Beeindruckend. Und bewusst für diesen Abend gewählt. Die „Kreisleriana“ von Schumann. Eine Explosion an Stimmungsumschwüngen und Brüchen. 🎶🎵 Zwischen himmelhochjauchzend und zu Tode betrübt. Das Werk schlägt einen großen Bogen. Eine verbindende Linie, die es herauszuarbeiten gilt. Ein Kontrast zwischen beiden Werken. Ungewöhnlich. Gekonnt.
