Random Forest is a forest of trees. Randomness comes from choosing a random tree and giving it random aspect to ponder and then let them vote for the result. -- Extremely satisfying to ask Gemini to explain things like I was 5 aka 75.

There should be better text-to-speech readers by now. Human readers are now little bit better, but when AI recognizes characters and narrators, the came is over. Worst thing on text-to-speech readers is when you fall asleep and dreams and t

Sony Handycam froze. But recovered when I realized there is no hurry and I stayed some days in a warm hotel in New Jersey.

I made it twice in 1980s. Or maybe trice, at least piecewise. -- Note about "prepadness". No need for that. I started at 70km per day, but eventually made 500 km in 24h. Because good back wind and too hot for camping by the road.

Tove was surely gravely insulted when somebody called her Swede. Especially after Winter War. Finland and Sweden had defense pact but Sweden choose to be neutral and promote peace. And so it deliberately hindered war effort preventing arms

OpenSCAD is such a good school of functional programming. There is no "time" or flow of execution. Or variables, scopes and environments. You are not constructing a program, but a static model which has desired properties in space

You r forgetting nasty neighbors like Sweden. First thing they do, is to destroy the energy infrastructure. There used to be plan B and C, with several reserve plants near by. Only plan Z is now left, which is to gather people in undergroun

You think heat pump is source of energy? :-) I specifically asked for realistic numbers. Copypaste failed at last chapter. The heat pump etc was %5 percent max. %5 comes as savings when energy actual comes from nukular plant.

They dont have alternate sources of heat now. 80% comes from national grid. When that fails in midwinter, folks die. Says Grok: Based on the most recent available data and Helen’s stated plans, here’s an estimate of Helsinki’s current energ

Who is this Ourselves? Europe can do basically nothing. Funniest was German solar panels. They tried to fight American panels with 50% taxes, but American lost to Chinese. Even 200% wont help now. I actually remember when folding 10W panel

Tax breaks are considered useless, because one has to pay some considerable amount taxes to get the breaks. In this case you are entitled to https://www.kela.fi/child-home-care-allowance In addition to: https://w

If you ask the question above, AI gives good explanation why the books are ignored. Any of the wikipages do not touch the issue, because it is political and nobody wants to remember that, especially Wikipedia editors, who have very particul

Downvoting team seems to disagree. Maybe she truly is only one-book wonder.

AI seems to work best, when issues are cross-boundaries cross-languages. Wikipages are always from one particular viewpoint and often conflict in different languages. Try "Why no Samuli Paulaharju's book was ever translated to Nor

I forgot the Dispossessed. So Ursula is now two book wonder.

Ursula was one book wonder, methinks. And so was Gardner Dozois, whose "Strangers" was eerily similar to "Left Hand of Darkness".

Nordic Countries always had it, because various nomadic lifestyles. But when it was written to law, Norwegians and Sweden invented 3 days limit on camping. Only purpose of this was to decimate the indigenous Sami-culture. Finland does not h

Pronounced "Jashke" in real world. I tried to ask Metatron why it is written with American phonetics, but got only insults in return.

Mind blown when you write better language using the language itself. Why I wasted so much time in assembly? Then you remember there are certain restrictions as regards to time travel.

Weird thing was that one time USA had Finnish-speaking customs officer at US-Mexico border. Reason was that Finnish Passport was printed or sold in Russia en mass. Russian cannot pronounce any of the vowels in "HYVÄÄ PÄIVÄÄ". Tha

It seems to work so. Both Nokia and Nvidia started to disappear when they hit the 30% mark. Might depend on the country too. -- "Index Fund" is often run by robots and exempt from some curbs and cautions.

by timonoko 2y ago
Index funds are the worst. Everytime they hit the motherload, they have to sell it early on, so that the portfolio stays "balanced". You cannot have a fund that has 95% Nvidia, it is (probably) against the law.

Nothing fun about cards. I had my Fortran exercise in a backpack when I bicycled to to Finnish government computer centre. It was raining, so the cards turned little bit mushy and jammed the machine. Sabotage and high treason, basically.

I actually learned something from this. OpenSCAD is good school of functional programming. There is no "time" or flow of execution. You specify static model (or automaton) which does have desired properties in space (or time).
