pytorch is a unique kind of mess

I started using aeon, which comes with a specially-configured snapper integrated with systemd and the package manager, a while ago. it’s so nice to have a system that does automatic updates, has automatic rollback, and cannot be broken by using it like a normal user.

it’s not completely stable yet, but what’s there is really cool. heads up if you want to try it that it’s made to be the only os on your machine and so will wipe all partitions on the drive you install it on.

you should probably read up on water heaters.

yeah only place i know that still has gas ranges is turn-of-century buildings in stockholm. one almost set fire to my aunt.

yes, but not the same amount of electricity. without a tank there’s no heat storage to take energy from.

i don’t think those are approved for installation in buildings here. and i wouldn’t want gas in my house anyway.

doing the math, tankless heaters use insane amounts of electricity. we were gonna use one for a detached guest house so we could skip the insulated pipe, but holy shit the cabling we’d have to install

doas

those costs are insane, the us one because it’s so high and the oz one for being so low. i think about 20% of our total tax revenue goes to care (health and elderly). for me that’s something like €3500.

sweden is so sparsely populated that some places have more empty houses than people. population density is about a quarter that of spain. the big cities are closer to the rest of europe, with homes going for three to four times the price of something an hour away and the rent queue being dominated by people who have been there since the 90s.

i bought a 70ish sqm apartment for about €100k two-ish hours from stockholm. in the city that would probably go for 5-20x the cost (depending on area) and have at least double the monthly cost.

as evidenced by the instance i’m on, sweden.

which of course also means that i did the normal stupid we do here and gave the amount before taxes. the take-home from that is more like €40k.

what about insurance and healthcare?

us software salaries are insanely high compared to the rest of the world, because the cost of living in SV is insanely high.

with a €60k a year salary i’m in the 90th percentile of earners in my country and it took me about two years to have enough to finance my own three-bedroom apartment on one income.

everything in moderation

there are actually lots of people outside

the question in the book is 6×9, because of course it is

Frontier: Elite 2 and Frontier: First Encounters still have the best planetary scale and seamless landings of any sci-fi space ship sim with interplanetary travel. Flight of Nova does it better but that’s only one planet. Frontier has like four billion.
