Vitamin D good. Higher levels than previously thought.

This is only for Crypto. For stocks, it's even (but some instruments are taxed at every Dec 31st, even when unrealized).

Denmark says hold my beer, as usual with taxes. Gains are taxed at 37-51%, as regular income. Losses can only be deducted at about 26%.

You can be in loss from crypto trading and still owe taxes in DK. Yay!

I think they want more than 18c. 18c is pretty cold to sit in for a prolonged time.

Yes, we should all just stop building our defenses and increasing our resilience and roll over. Let's roll out a red carpet for Russians all the way to Paris (or maybe Lisbon?). The same peaceful folks who talk about bombing our cities every week on their national TV.

I think your view is a tad optimistic. Many people had difficult lives just because they didn’t want to be members of the party. Thier kids didn’t get to good schools, or got to the one 30 minutes by train, they lost jobs and were forced to dry laundry with engineering degrees.

There was even a joke about this:

⸻

In Poland, during the times of hard socialism, a math associate professor calculated that a shipyard worker earned three times more than he did. So he thought “screw this,” crossed out the titles before and after his name, and went to work in a factory.

Of course, he was doing well in the factory — he didn’t strain himself too much and earned three times more than at the school. Then the factory introduced an evening school for workers, with the promise that whoever attended would get a raise. So the associate professor signed up and started going.

On the very first lesson — bam — mathematics. The level was like the first year of high school, so the associate professor was just dozing off, not paying attention. The teacher noticed him, called him up to the board, and asked him to calculate the area of a circle.

The professor started writing, but for the life of him couldn’t remember the formula for the area of a circle. So he decided to derive it. He wrote the conversion to polar coordinates, then integrated it, and ended up with –πr². So he stood there, wondering where the minus sign had come from.

And from the back row, someone whispered: “Reverse the integration interval.”

⸻

Also, behold, people queueing for toilet paper in 88 in Czechoslovakia: https://youtu.be/O6qUqFy2FEU

yet, many people claim they were happier back then. At least in the country where I’m from. No options in life, no hard decisions or responsibility for their lives. Our current PM said he didn’t notice the fall of communism. shrug

You're giving a 10% chance to Denmark allying with Russia over a threat from US? Even right-wing parties in Dk aren't really pro-Russian, so I'd say the chance is closer to 0 than 10%.

But they don’t get stolen as often, if at all.

You can see it in the By & Havn app (City & Harbour in Danish): https://byoghavn.dk/ny-app-til-alle-os-der-elsker-koebenhavn...

Also in Badevand app: https://kbh.badevand.dk/

then make sure you don’t move to Denmark where you pay tax on unrealized gains (for some asset classes)

> Orders ? In the WP_POST db.

No longer true, at least for new installations: https://woocommerce.com/document/high-performance-order-stor...

So a FHPUW, then.

Not necessarily. Layoffs mean higher profit margins and that often leads to an increase in stock price as it means higher potential payout for shareholders.

tell me you don’t have a convertible without telling me you don’t have a convertible

I think you should first consult the discussion on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39168105 :)

tl;dr: Hell is AI's code ;)

So much this. We’re so spolied by low cost airlines in Europe.

I can either - go for a train trip to the 2nd largest city in Denmark (Copenhagen to Aarhus) for 230 eur (2 adults + a kid) and it takes almost 3 hours. - take a Ryanair flight to Alicante for 240 eur (2 adults + a kid), flight takes 3.5 hours

The weather will be much better, the food and accommodation cheaper by a long shot (not to mention Spanish cuisine). It’s not even comparable how much more value you get when flying.

I’ve been running Orca 2 13B on M1 Pro with 32GB of RAM with LLM Studio and GPU acceleration quite nicely.

> Dear GPT Builder,

> It’s been less than a month since we announced GPTs and we are blown away by the useful and fun GPTs that you and the builder community have created.

> We are continuing to make improvements to GPTs based on your feedback. To improve Actions we updated the configuration interface, enabled one click testing, added debug messages in preview, and now allow multiple domains. There have also been questions around uploaded files. Uploaded files are downloadable when using Code Interpreter so we’ve made this feature default off and added messaging to better explain this. If you have additional feedback, we’d love to hear from you here.

> In terms of what’s next, we are now planning to launch the GPT Store early next year. While we had expected to release it this month, a few unexpected things have been keeping us busy! In the meantime, we will have some other great updates to ChatGPT soon. Thank you for investing time to build a GPT.

> I can easily imagine that Apple omitted period tracking intentionally to position these products as aimed at young professionals who take their health and fitness seriously, […] not menstruating women.

Yup, like for example Mikaela Shiffrin who doesn’t take her fitness seriously [1]. Or Wimbledon tennis players [2]. Not like those young professionals…
