Amazing. Women have been choosing the bear now for… 3 seasons?!

I’ve just spent a month in Taiwan. There are no supermarkets there basically.

There are markets. With everyday people trading.

The money moves amongst the people. Not amongst the two big supermarkets like in Australia.

Due to this, the people get the money. Not the mega corps.

The competition is balanced and strong, and prices are low.

I saw just how screwed we are in Australia when visiting Taiwan.

Their culture won’t allow a duopoly like we have.

I can only hope that we can break free from it.

You didn’t mention meat. In Australia good beef has gone from about $30/kg up to anywhere from $45 to $60 and higher.

Chicken used to be cheap. Not anymore.

Lamb is now basically a rich person’s food. Good luck buying quality lamb.

Our supermarkets now have rfid chips on expensive cuts of meat, as they’re so expensive. $18 a steak. RFID that thing.

Hornsby is the fifth best place to live in Australia, apparently.

At least, according to a study SGS Economics and Planning:

"Sydney's Northern beaches ranks as the highest in the nation for wellbeing, with only one Queensland city making it to the top 10, the annual index revealed today.

"The Australian Capital Territory came in second due to its low gender wage gaps, climate change risks and the division of wealth."

The study assessed 518 local council areas on seven indicators:

  • economy
  • income and wealth
  • employment, knowledge and skills
  • housing
  • health
  • equality, community and work-life balance
  • environment

The top 10 local government areas are:

  1. Northern Beaches (Greater Sydney)

  2. Australian Capital Territory

  3. North Sydney (Greater Sydney)

  4. Ku-ring-gai (Greater Sydney)

  5. Hornsby (Greater Sydney)

  6. Lane Cove (Greater Sydney)

  7. Mosman (Greater Sydney)

  8. Sutherland (Greater Sydney)

  9. Sydney (Greater Sydney)

  10. Brisbane (Greater Brisbane)

Isn’t Google dismantling the flutter team?

So far we’ve been lucky. But, we are concerned with some of our stack. We help where we can, but it’s a bit of an unknown. The google graveyard basically screams to keep away from any of their tech.

Alarmist, but has merit. It’s concerning at the very least.

OctoPrint USB disconnects every night at midnight? (pawb.social)

A new and bizarre issue has emerged on my Linux Mint server that seems specific to my Ender 3 and OctoPrint. Every night at midnight, regardless of whether a print is running or not, the USB connection to the Ender fails and restarts. (See screenshot from my Telegram OctoPrint plugin.) I’ve tried setting usb.autosuspend to -1...

This is when all octoprints communicate with the dark lord. They need their time and space. It wil be fine, just breathe, and let them be the little octo printian daemons they deserve to be.

Advice - Getting started with LLMs

I’m new to the field of large language models (LLMs) and I’m really interested in learning how to train and use my own models for qualitative analysis. However, I’m not sure where to start or what resources would be most helpful for a complete beginner. Could anyone provide some guidance and advice on the best way to get...

I’m also interested, so I hope you don’t mind me joining the ride. Personally, I’d like a self hosted tool, but am happy to see what the community says.

Well that was apple’s exact argument when they would not release phone cpu specs back in the day. “It’s not relevant” they would say, as the whole experience is faster. It’s really just whatever suites their marketing people. Slowed down your phones, oh, we got caught. But, it’s a FEATURE, and so we don’t get dragged through lawsuites, we’re adding it as an OPTION. Look, the M4 looks great. But any spin they put on anything, I just take it with a grain of salt.

Absolutely fascinating. I had no idea this exists and particularly that it has been updated all this time.

N8N is great and just keeps getting better. I can only hope enshitification doesn’t ensue as it gains popularity

I have about 12. Anything from checking emails for something I’m expecting and telegram messaging me. Scraping game websites for deals. Auto responder emails when I’m away. Just day to day stuff to automate. But, they’ve restricted their cloud version and are allowing self hosted a good run still. But, I suspect they’ll want more money and chase the wrong people. Self hosters.

makingStuffForFun,
@makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml avatar

I agree. It’s great software. But a home user simply can’t justify that price

The forums seem to indicate self hosters are going to be screwed in time. Fingers crossed it’s not true

It depends on what kind of rider you are and how far you want to go, but more importantly how fast you want to accelerate and how fast you want to go at top speed.

I was in Germany recently on the autobahn and I noticed just so very many Teslas sitting in the middle lane while we overtook them for miles and miles I just kept seeing them.

I asked my brother in law how come these Teslas are being overtaken by us in our turbo diesel when they are so fast and he said to me that it is because their range is so limited that although they can go fast they have to sit in that middle lane, and can’t use their capabilities, otherwise they will run out of power, and won’t be able to get to their destination.

So the same thing will apply to these motorcycles. If you’re a kind of guy that wants to do 300 or 400 kilometres in a day around mountain ranges and really giving it some then an electric bike is not going to be for you.

I guess I wasn’t really discussing the economical or environmental benefits or negatives of either of the types of vehicles. I was more describing that somebody who likes to ride, and ride hard, will probably not want one as it won’t have the range that they require under load. Exactly as my experience seeing the Teslas sitting in the slow lane in Germany demonstrate.

Got you. No problem

I can imagine. We were doing between about 160 to 240 over a few hours. That’s a lot of energy to burn.

makingStuffForFun,
@makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml avatar

Haha. I get it. It’s a company car though. As many are. The corporation pays the fuel bill. So the vehicle has to be able to perform like that for many, many km. And it does. There will be a change coming for sure, but right now, the EV just can’t do it.
