All large cities in Finland are heated by combined heat and power (CHP) power plants.

These power plants first make super heated steam (like 800°C, 1500°F), runs that through turbine to make electricity, then send the cooled down water (80-150°C, 170°F-300°F) to all homes through district heating grid.

From that water the home is heated and hot water is used.

Now that we have the district heating network, when electricity is cheap, we can also use electricity to boil the water and send it through the grid. Water is also easy to use as storage, if the need of consumption requires buffering.

Smaller cities use just heat plants, were there is no turbine for electricity generation, just the heating of water to district heating grid.

Most plants use biomass as power source in the power plants, historically they were coal, but it has been now almost completely phased out.

Tech illiterate media writing hype articles. Repeats yearly also with flying cars or vacuum tube trains.

Google is so shit nowadays, it’s main purpose is to sell you things, not to actually retrieve the things you ask.

Mainly you see this with coding related questions, they were much better 5 years ago. Now only way to get results is to ask LLM and hope it doesn’t hallusinate some library that doesn’t exist.

Part of the issue is that SEO got better and google stopped changing things to avoid SEO manipulation.

Deathray!

There could be some sense figuring first out water containers. Old saying is that human survives few minutes without oxygen, few days without water and few weeks without food. Water > Food

Also as a hunter gatherer, food is around you (berries, roots, game) and you can carry them with you. Drinking water is more scarce and keeping it with you when you move around needs some container.

GPT-5 without “thinking” mode got the answer wrong.

GPT-5 with thinking answered:

Here are the 21 US states with the letter “R” in their name:

Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia.

It wrote a script that verified it while doing the “thinking” (feeding the hallusinations back to the LLM)

Both can be true! (Being siblings and cousins at the same time, requires bit of inbreeding ofc)

Floating point rounding issues are basic comp science issues. Hopefully nobody thinks that those are JavaScript quirks.

Apache longbow 2 from 1997.

Edit: got original mixed with 2

No Internet Explorer (replaced by probably JavaScript app)

Calling these new LLM’s just if statements is quite a over simplification. These are technically something that has not existed before, they do enable use cases that previously were impossible to implement.

This is far from General Intelligence, but there are solutions now to few coding issues that were near impossible 5 years ago

5 years ago I would have laughed in your face if you came to suggest that can you code a code that summarizes this description that was inputed by user. Now I laugh that give me your wallet because I need to call API or buy few GPU’s.

EV6 is probably the best in tech, like the 800V system.

Have you had the issue with iccu? They are unfortunately quite common, friend of mine had it. They will fully fix it, but it takes up to month to fix because they don’t have spare parts.

I have Seat Mii, and I also think it is best car purchase that I have ever made

All those are unfortunately so expensive here that I can only dream. And in my opinion over priced also.

Only heard good things about them, but aren’t they few generation’s old now. Not that next gen is always better, but EV’s have gone quite big generational steps.

Edit: and for context I drove Seat Mii at the moment and I love it to pieces, but it works only in city, not long range.

I currently drive Seat Mii, which is good small EV for city, but for long ranges VW and BMW are behind. Audi’s EV have been disasters. Cupras look good, but because I already have small EV, it doesn’t fit my use case .

ID’s could be ok, but they are over priced in my opinion (at least here).

Edit: for context id4’s starting price is 43k€ here in Finland. 60k€ for id7.

Edit2: Ok started looking those Chinese brands prices also if you buy them here and they are also priced in same range, so ID might be option then also

Currently only proper options for EV is either Tesla, Korean EV’s (KIA, Hyundai) or Chinese. European and japanese EV’s are imo shit at the moment. Teslas I will avoid like plague, due to Nazis. KIA’s and Hyundai’s are so hard to get, so I am really considering getting BYD, Polestar or XPeng.

Yeah, he is one of the doge kids

If you generate CEO through this service, there is info button that states: “Does not actually use AI, powered by the souls of interns.” So this is probably ethical enough to replace the CEO

D365 ain’t really even that bad. It is just model driven power platform app. It is actually quite expandable, you can code it with plain javascript or more complex components on React. Backend is OData which is quite flexible.

Old Dynamics AX and onprem CRM were shit shows.
