This is the way!

It is incredible how far you get with a single HTML-file, containing styles and JS, when building dashboards, small apps and other utilities that can interact with an API or otherwise fetch data from somwhere.

I just drop it on my personal ~ folder on the shared server at work and voilà, everyone can check it out and use it immediately!

And you get sandboxxing for free! My company got tailscale recently, and its just the final cherry on top: `tailscale serve` my `/tools`, and I don't even have to worry about auth!

Knowing both Norwegian and Dutch, most words here is surprisingly similar to modern words:

hefenricæs = himmelrikes (no)

uerc = werk (nl)

eci = evig (no) / eeuwig (nl)

ærist = eerst (nl)

barnum = barn (no)

sceppend = schepper (nl)

EDIT: Hearing the poem read also gives dutch / germanic vibes: https://gutenberg.org/files/19677/ogg/19677.ogg

If it weren't for the Norman invasion, English would probably still have the same levels of semi-mutual-intelligibility as the other Scandinavian languages.

well, if the Normans had simply spoken Norse as one would expect Norsemen to do...

I recently tried some light research (ok, i ddg'ed) recently on this topic as it wasn't that long between the Viking invasions and settling down in claimed territory, "how continuing-to-be-Norse were the Normans?" I was looking at a similar idea to another comment/statement here from a Scandinavian, "would the Normans have maintained enough knowledge of Norse language to have seen connections to Anglo Saxon/Olde Ænglish? (ok, i just wanted to use a ligature)

I didn't find it easy to to find specifics in great detail, but interestingly in William the Conquerer's family tree, his great^n-grandparents and their cohort were frequently marrying French noble women for local connections and prestige, but also having children with their "soulmate" Norsewoman side piece, made more convenient because the Norse marriage practice was more akin to "common law marriage" anyway.

I'm not reading or judging anything into this (what noble of any culture wouldn't pursue extramarital relations, hell the peasants do it too) except from variety of partners they were clearly maintaining connections to their heritage at least as Italian- or Irish-Americans frequently do in the current day.

thanc = tanke (thought)

uuldurfadur = alfader (all-father)

uundra = under (wonder)

halig = hellig (holy)

It's a bit unconnected to all-father. My impression would be that uuldurfadur would be literally "world-father". But it actually means "glory-father"[1]. It's more commonly spelled wuldorfæder. (Also unrelated to the word "wundor" meaning wonder.)

I can recommend the VW e-UP!s from 2013-2016ish. They have very little tech in them but are relatively modern. You can also quite easily tap into the control systems (climate etc) to remote control it with your own hardware: https://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/components/vehicle_v...

They are also super fun to drive and, although they have small batteries, the can charge at 40-50kWh, which translates to 10 minutes to ~85% full. We have used a eUP 2013 model to travel across europe (~900km) in two days, many times! One charge last between one and two hours, depending on speed and weather. We usually cruse at about 90km/h, and the car is basically sipping electrons! The newer model have double the range, but I have not owned or testet them, but might be a decent compromise for longer travels.

I have the same GPU and get very good results, even better than Gemma 4 26B A4B, using the following setup (Fedora 43 Silverblue, podman compose):

I run this model on my AMD RX7900XTX with 24GB VRAM with up to 4 concurrent chats and 512K context window in total. It is very fast (~100 t/s) and feels instant and very capable, and I have used Claude Code less and less these days.

Laptops and tables are, as it turns out, not so cheap either. They need to be fixed or replaced at an alarming rate, and they lay claim to a much larger part of a school budget than books ever did. That is part of the reason that we revert back to pen, paper and books in Norway. First for 1-4 grade, but it will be push further up the grades as we go, I think.

Yeah this is for extremely poor schools where children share one phone between them. But compared to buying books for every subject that very soon wear out and become obsolete, this has basically no cost.

Nifty, looks like the enterprise edition of OpenClaw, kinda. Also, it looks token hungry!

The term 'social media' has changed a lot over time. The attention grabbing kind we have today is a very different beast than what we started out with; no ads and only a chronological timeline showing posts from your network.

The original kind was genuinely connecting people and adding value. The current one is in effect isolating and driving people and groups apart.

Luckily, the original kind did not vanish. I find a lot of joy hanging out on the fediverse. I spend far less time on it than what I did on Twitter of FB back when I still had accounts there, but that is a good sign.

Social media is too generous term to use when describing products from Meta, TikTok, Snap, X etc. It is an ad platform that also, occasionality, shows you what your friends are up to.

We should come up with a better term than 'social media' when describing platforms that has reached the last stage of enshitification.

It is not only about raw power consumption. Comparing driving an electric car with using AI only in kW hides a major point: Hyperscale datacenters are massively centralised, which brings it's own problems; a lot of energy is used for cooling, and water consumptions is enormous. Charging electric cars at home is distributed and does not suffer from the same problems as the centralised hyperscalers do. Also, running AI models at home is not much different than a gaming session :)

This is an incredible sequence of assertions, every single one of which is very incorrect.

"A lot of energy used for cooling": hyperscale data centers use the least cooling per unit of compute capacity, 2-3x less than small data centers and 10-100x less than a home computer.

"Water consumption is enormous": America withdraws roughly 300 billion gallons of fresh water daily, of which IT loads are expected to grow to 35-50 billion gallons annually by 2028. Data center water demands are less than a rounding error.

"distributed and does not suffer from the same problems": technically correct I guess but distributed consumption has its own problems that are arguably more severe than centralized power consumption.

Great ad. Long, but great.
