Would you prefer “Was late to his own funeral”?

I think that’s what’ll be on mine.

Yes I do in fact. We need to lower the economical impact of production too, consumption is just a drop in the bucket. To put it in perspective, I can run my PC from a second hand generator. Most low end generators might even be able to run 10s of my PCs. A datacenter training the high end LLMs that I could be running needs a nuclear power plant worth of energy. We are talking multiple magnitudes of difference.

I suppose you don’t consider the coal-powered electricity that powers your EV when reflecting over your impact too?

You can run a fully fletched LLM at home but you can’t train the model. The latter is a huge contributor to power consumption. Running it is peanuts in comparison.

As a vodka enjoyer, I do love me a good Vodka Martini. But that shaken thing Bond has going on is pure blasphemy.

It’s worth remembering that the taste doesn’t just come from the vodka so the vermouth is equally important.

Yes, except of course The Scene. IIRC only two of the mentioned trackers still exist today.

Aldi has left Denmark so the map is a bit outdated.

“We stopped using those years ago, gramps.”

And here I am wasting my money on 24 TB obsolete HDDs when I could have just bought SSDs.

I’m fully Dockerized (well, uhh… Podmanized) and I’m dual-wielding Plex and Jellyfin. Runs smoothly and both only have read to the content. All management of the media is handled by the *arr stack anyway. I even set up a volume for Plex to throw conversions into that Jellyfin can’t see. I’m currently personally using Jellyfin and I’m waiting for Jellyfin to be good enough (or Plex bad enough…) for the users I share with to switch over.

I can definitely recommend that setup.

Half-Life 4: The Search For The Lost 3.

Try to throw the puzzle into sudoku.coach’s solver and you’ll find a ton of techniques that completely eliminate the guesswork.

I find sukdokus extremely fun and I never need to guess on a 6/7 out of 10 in difficulty. My suggestion is to take it slow at lower difficulties to get acquainted with the simpler techniques before springing to the harder difficulties.

I’m European. I’m not talking about American cars.

And it’s also a joke with a bit of truth to it. They do require much more care so they’re more often in the workshop than, say a Toyota.

We don’t really learn the reason, we just memorise the word for the number. Kinda like you know the word “dog” means a four legged cute creature, but not why the name is “dog”. The old rules are not something we are teached, I just got curious after a confused foreigner made me think about the system for a second :p

Halvfjerds for 70 but yes. Firs is 80 though, so that doesn’t make in much easier.

Fjerde = fourth, fire = four. That makes “half to the fourth” become “halv til fjerde” or “halvfjerds” while “four times twenty” becomes “firsindstyve” and shortened to new Danish “firs”

BMW’s are famously known to be in the workshop more often than on the road. My friend’s BMW had a type of self-cleaning oil. All he has to do is top off the oil once a month. Just ignore the stain on the parking lot, it’s not oil.

It’s not like a BMW is more reliable.

Yeah, it’s kinda the difference between saying “the clock is currently half past twelve” (the English way) and “the clock is currently half to one” (which we say in Danish and probably in a wealth of non-English languages too).

Correct.

• Half to the second (halvanden, still in use today) = 1.5
• Half to the third (halvtredje) = 2.5
• Half to the fourth (halvfjerde) = 3.5
• Half to the fifth (halvfemte) = 4.5

And so on. You might notice that I sometimes write it like “halvfemte” and other times “halvfems”. The latter is just the way it was spelled when used in a combined word (another fun quirk in Danish that we inherited from Germanic this time!). 90 is today spelled just “halvfems”.
