And because she does less things in her day? Letting the brain process the instrument playing during day and night, not a bunch of other stuff. I’m sure brain age matters a lot but I think it’s a bit overrated. Probably a lot to do with environment as well.

Many years ago. Not "a few years ago". Also you could make the sentence that 180 people lost their lives because of an evil war, of which USA and Israel are the aggressors. And we definitely don't talk enough about that part.

Not necessarily missed. Maybe just late.

Seems weird. China is definitely falling behind. India is not.

This isn't enshitification. Most people have plenty of chargers. Its a good thing you can opt in/out.

Don't you find transformer based models perform better? Are they too heavy?

Let me know if you are hiring. I'm based in Norway and did my masters in AI computer vision (object detection, segmentation). Have also published a paper in medical imaging, as well as sold my AI webapp/SaaS for six figures $ some months ago (the startup was not in CV, but in transcription/LLM/media monitoring).

The recipient will get the forever chemicals, but they survive due to the blood transfer, so in a few weeks they can donate and get rid of the chemicals.

EU chat control is also better than American government spying on American tech companies (which is effectively a kind of EU Chat Control, except its USA who gets to spy). Both are bad, but one is less bad.

Interesting. Can we get in touch? I just sold my webapp/saas where I used NB-Whisper to transcribe Norwegian media (podcast, radio, TV) and offer alerts and search by indexing it using elasticsearch.

Edit: It was https://muninai.eu (I shut down the backend server yesterday so the functionality is disabled).

steinvakt2 — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 08:51:08 +0000

I thought it was the other way. That 8k is problematic because the chance of dead pixel is so much higher, driving up the cost because of the higher ratio of ruined batches?

Absolutely. Overregulation as well. But the lack of investment is the main factor.

Show HN: Artle - a daily art guessing game

Made this game some years ago after wordle blew up and it has steadily (and very slowly!) been gathering some returning players. Guess the artist, if you’re wrong you see more of the painting. Round 2 is year, round 3 is art style.

I'm not saying that text messages don't need storage space. I'm saying that they require so little that it's pointless to delete text messages. And it seems like you are deliberately trying to not acknowledge that. Are you now going to say that you once deleted a text message and saw 1 kb storage freed or what

A few seconds of video on a recent phone is quickly the size of thousands of text messages. So the size of a text message is basically zero. So deleting text messages for the sake of storage is ridiculous

If you don’t use AI for climate reasons then you should read the recent reports about how little electricity and water is actually used. It’s basically zero (image and video models excluded). Your information about this is probably related to GPT3.5 or something. Which is now 3 years old - a lifetime in AI world.

This demonstrates the incompetence in tech in EU. Either she wants to enforce laws for the common people and not for the elite, or she is incompetent enough to believe that deleting text messages affects storage.
