  • Honest answer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Backpropagation was part of the course but not only did hardly anyone understand it (where did the 20 different variables in 10 derivatives come from???) it’s also not a topic which can be adapated to exams easily.

    So I ignored it and just learned back propagation exists and makes everything work.

    It was a mostly theoretical course with some Python exercises to get at least some practice.



  • Wieso sollte man Mathe-Tests vor der Uni überhaupt durchführen?

    Ich wäre definitiv durch so einen Test gerasselt, da ich kein Mathe-LK in der Schule hatte. Der 14-Punkte Schnitt im Grundkurs hätte mir wenig gebracht, wenn erweiterte Konzepte abgefragt werden - bereits angefangen mit dem Lösen von verschachtelten Gleichungen, da so etwas im Grundkurs nie gelehrt wurde.

    Trotzdem habe ich jede Klausur des Mathematikteils meines Informatikstudiums auf Anhieb bestanden da ich genügend Aufwand betrieben habe & begleitende Kurse für Erst- und Zweitsemestermathevorlesungen angeboten wurden. Der Schnitt ist zwar mit 3,0 nicht so gut wie erwünscht aber trotzdem vollkommen ausreichend meiner Meinung.









  • Tesla is overtly hostile towards German unions and has convinced enough workers to not join any. They have mostly hired foreign workers who are unaware of their rights. Additionally, workers are pressured to sign documents withdrawing from their right to compensation during sick leave which isn’t illegal.

    Also, the state government of Brandenburg - the location of the Tesla factory - would rather see worker’s rights trampled than Tesla face consequences. Their future election results depend on Tesla performing.

    Edit to add: As far as I know, Tesla doesn’t need to pay any damages if courts overrule them denying paid sick leave. They must only pay the sick leave and for the worker’s lawyer. Denying sick leave makes them more money in the end.



  • What’s a biological woman and why do they matter more than ““non-biological”” women?

    There are certainly female athletes with chromosomal abnormalities competing at any level. Women, who are completely unaware they’re in any way different because they have lived their entire life like any other woman. Women, who on average have a small boost in performance compared to women without chromosomal abnormalities.

    Why should they be banned? Please elaborate and please also answer why this shouldn’t also apply to women of certain ethnicities with boosted competitive performance.
