    I was not commenting on the "hospitality" definition but on the "earn tax free money" aspect. Just saying, that the goal, for most (?), is not.. this.

    It depends - for some, it's a commercial event. For others, like me, it's just an opportunity to challenge yourself and see if you can make delicious food for a bunch of people :) …

    Heh, there's also https://www-kambja-info.translate.goog/syndmus/avatud-aiad-2... right next to Tartu. This Saturday. If you have a car, come by ("Puzzle Café") and say hi - I'm ma…

    I'd rather read a blog post that includes relevant and decently made illustrations of the topic at hand (explanatory graphics etc) rather than just a wall of text. Makes no differe…

    Exactly this! I've tried to generate some really basic SVG icons (think fontawesome) with sota models (one generation back - so gpt 5.5) and _none_ have produced anything that I co…

    For some reason, reminds me of Cassandra: https://www.netflix.com/title/81621534 . Maybe it's the gripping fingers or the way it rolls around the house in the demo video..

    I'm trying it out to illustrate news articles and I'm getting this for 95% of my prompts. I guess I'm holding it wrong \(ツ)/¯ Unable to show the generated image. The model could no…

    "Fun" times for services selling micro-VMs running on top of Hetzner bare metal machines for a small margin. 3x increase in input pricing with essentially no notice (there was a 2 …

    Exactly, that's why I wrote that it's simplified and the actual full cost to the company depends on your company size and setup (fully remote vs in office, management heavy vs lean…

    Sure, we pay above market rate as well :) Doesn't change the fact that the average across Estonia is as stated :)

    I'll add a concrete example from a not-too-cheap-anymore EU country: Estonia. * Average software dev salary in Q12026: 4945€ / month [1] * Total cost for the employer: 6616.41€ [2]…

    I almost got denied boarding for a EU -> US flight ~13 years ago because the TSA agent at the gate noticed my 2011 MBP had 2 screws missing on the bottom panel (I've opened it up a…

    "Railway Blocked by Google Cloud" If you don't happen to know that "Railway" is referring to a company, then you might reasonably read that as "a GCP outage caused issues in the tr…

    Indeed, humidity matters a lot. Most our saunas here are löyly (in Finnish) saunas, so you get a rollercoaster of dry - humid - dry cycles. Once you get to 100+c and throw a good a…

    As an Estonian, anything below 80°C is considered a "kids sauna". 80°C - 90°C is a cold-but-workable sauna and proper sauna starts from 90+°C. I'd assume it's the same in Finland a…

    You don't need a service provider other than a "contact person". The actual minimal cost of getting e-residency is a one time €150 state fee (I guess you have to renew the physical…

    Sure, but wouldn't 35 hours do the same trick? Or 5 hours? Or 10 hours and 28 minutes? :) The question is, why exactly 24 hours? The argument is that the time limit is set to prote…

    I've only run into the codex $20 limit once with my hobby project. With my Claude ~$20 plan, I hit limits after about 3(!) rather trivial prompts to Opus :/

    How limited? We packed booleans inside integers instead of allocating separate booleans :P

    This article is fully written by an LLM, correct? It's just summarizes random forum threads and press releases. Or am I just paranoid?
