The Finnish Air force has nice videos on highway strip operation exercises with F-35A and Eurofighter Typhoon.

I'm wondering does the latest events of N.Korean troops joining the attack against Ukraine have something to do with this?

I wonder does it ultimately lead, in civilized societies, to the notion of "basic income"

I think the course just got updated during the past year and now they use Python instead of Octave/Matlab

”A lot”. There was some amount of numbers, on how many A100’s were used to train the SD1.5 and what was the training data size, discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33727467

People in SD subreddit have been finetuning the SD-models, so depending what you want to do, it should be doable.

I hope there would be some investigational journalism to dig out how much money flooded from Russia towards lobbying this to happen..

The parent comment had few valid points. As a fellow EU citizen, from Finland, I'm quite sadden how badly the Germans have handled the post-Ukrainian invasion, from energy perspective and from leadership point-of-view. The latter will have long lasting effect on the whole of EU.

Would you please mind sharing the links? My past experience of picking up projects hasn't been stellar so wouldn't mind to learn new viewpoints.

Is there any reason why e.g. you go for a holiday outside of EU your account is moved to that country (no more GDPR protection) and all of your data can(?) then be processed. When you come back within the EU GDPR-flag is set back to true.

> 2. Accurate estimation of development times is impossible (not difficult, actually theoretically impossible). All estimates of development times are wrong, some by more than an order of magnitude.

Personally now-a-days I care more about velocity. If the team can deliver the smallest value added to the system within a week, we are good. The more constant velocity the team has, the more Management trusts you to produce value and get their things done without the need to have massive estimation parties that almost always end up being wrong.

The sad thing is, once the velocity gets bogged up or waving (Org change, contantly changing directions,..) the estimation parties are here to stay and it's quite hard to get back to where the team was.

It took me 4mo to get my old ankle injury that I've had since the teens, to get operated. I was in the lowest priority category and this happened just after Covid-19 hit. I got a quote from a private healthcare provider for the operation for 6000e. In the public one it ended up costing 120e.

I've seen Seinfeld so many times that now a days I just tap on the "random" option in VLC when watching it. X-files I've divided to two, MonsterOfTheWeek and "moves plot forward". Then randomly pick from the two buckets.

Don't think there is any "new" series that I've watched over twice, I wonder why that is.

> My next device will probably be a Pine Phone.

As a long time iPhone user I'm on the same boat. I do hope there will be a somewhat beta level Pine Phone soon. I'm already thinking should I get my old Nokia n900 from the storage box and start using that. Not comfortable with Androids and the latest Apple actions are making me feel a bit unsure on the direction they are taking.
