Somehow Hetzner saw at least part of it coming in 2018 https://www.hetzner.com/pressroom/five-years-helsinki/ These low prices are cost savings that we pass directly onto our customers; they come from the reduced

If 4.2 (or 4.1) is really the annual coefficient of performance (turn 1kWh electric energy into 4.2kWh heat energy) then this is a very good value. Because heating water requires higher temperature differences (usually heat pumps get more

From the point of view of PL it is now perfect. Directly connected by Eurocity train but only since a year or so. > the museum didn't really do much to let itself known either Sure. But you can only do so much with probably not even

I think Hoyerswerda was chosen for a reason: funding money should not always go to the big city and so they thought why not built it where Konrad Zuse went to school? It kind of makes sense...

It is still a shame that the city which called itself Zuse-City does not try harder to keep it. I know how hard their financing situation is first hand but the ZCOM as a place and education institute was more worth then they understood.

Interesting that this pops up on HN. It was a real nice spot and I'm sad that it goes away. They had really nice holiday activities for kids, but also for adults and elderly. E.g. I myself tried VR the second time in one of the rooms f

I have the same problem and I wondered what if the chatty output is a requirement for its (better?) reasoning capabilities?

I wondered how watermarks are in the interests of the AI companies, but now it is more clear to me as there are two benefits: first, they can skip them for training and second, the AI output can be licensed to reduce, or at least detect, th

Why not sell a fully operational car as a used car and buy a new electric vehicle? Then, when looking into all cars, the fleet will get one more electric vehicle, but at the same time fully operational cars are still used until the end.

I would like to get rid of it in the next few years but all new cars have only touch screen and phone home. Are there "stupid" e-cars too? I don't need much.

Hot does not necessarily mean good solar production. Solar production in winter can be equally good (although days are shorter). Also the efficiency of panels decreases with higher temperatures.

The problem with digital writing is that you loose spatial orientation because of panning and zooming. At least I think this is the reason why I sometimes prefer pen and paper.

I'm skeptical. How can a one time payment be sustainable when they offer 24/7/365? I'm also unsure how they got such a high valuation with this clear drawback.

Is this issue only about the memory? Wouldn't it be possible to have it expose any information that it currently has like current project information, code, credentials etc?

The aim is to develop an open, sovereign European ensemble of large language and reasoning models (LLMs/LRMs) and agent-based systems that are powerful, transparent, and deployable on European cloud and edge infrastructures. GitHub:

First important step is the need to make your application faster. Second step is to actually make it faster. And I would say 99% of the time you can make applications faster without going down so deep on this low-level (which is still not e

Coincidentally a few days ago, also for a sorting algorithm, I stumbled over a situation where replacing the branchless cmov with branching instructions actually made the code 30% faster: https://github.com/graphhopper&#x2F

Of course sick leave has increased in Germany, but the main reason is reporting. Since 2022 in Germany there is a new electronic sick note and doctors report every certificate directly to insurers. Before that short illnesses very often wen

Not useless. It is like the missing printer driver for Linux Desktop. It makes the experience ugly, but this is not the fault of the Linux OSes. Also the bank should not require apps (instead they can offer hardware key support or desktop a

Even if these models are so strong that they become a security threat if in the wrong hands this arbitrary and intransparent regulation worries me. Not for the current SOTA model vendors but for the open weight models. I have always wondere

The current costs do not have to be sustainable for the SOTA model providers as they grow their user base. But I really wonder about the future as the costs have to increase at some point (to be sustainable) but at the same time the competi
