And a second one

Not a purchase but I started an affair with a married woman. Boy it’s a rollercoaster!

if a tool exists which can easily and reliably detect AI generated content then they’d just be using that tool for their training

Generative Adversarial Networks are an example of that idea in action.

Aaah before, not in. Why didn’t anyone tell me

For me it’s the other way around. After eating I want to clean my teeth.

One of these projects might be of interest to you:

• https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm

• https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI

Do note that CPU inference is quite a lot slower than GPU or the well known SAAS providers. I currently like the quantized deepseek models as the best balance between quality of replies and inference time when not using GPU.

I’ll take a wild guess and say you don’t appreciate andy kaufman neither? Haha

I’ve been watching Mr Show. It’s a weird kind of nostalgia to a time I wasn’t alive.

What humor would come close today? Eric André comes to mind but I don’t know many more.

Haha because mirror I get it nice 1 dad

Have you ever seen the movie “wall-e”?

The Sea has been shaping NL and it’s society for ages. Keeping it at bay (which is one of the tasks of waterschap I guess) is a life-or-death task.

Indeed. I like that they decided that politicians shouldn’t meddle with important engineering. :)

You’re right :)

Anyone who says how others should vote is against democracy 🙂

It’s one of the most democratic countries on earth (1).

There’s the national, provincial and municipal levels. With some weird stuff like water management (waterschap) being it’s own electable agency outside of the typical political system.

On the national level there’s the executive (cabinet), and a 2 tier legislative (parliament and senate).

It has a very low electoral threshold, so new parties can come (and go) quite fast. Last elections BBB (Boer Burger Beweging/“Farmer Citizen Action”) was such a surprise winner.

Governance is almost always through a coalition of parties.

I’ve worked with bookstack. Found it easy and intuitive. It’s wiki software not specific to family history.

Same :)

enough of the local language to buy stuff and ask for directions

You convinced me on that one. Perhaps they should learn enough of the language for day-to-day niceties. The particular problem with Belgium is that this means they should learn both basic French and Dutch :-p Most french speaking Belgians don’t even do that.

I find it a bit strange that people choose to move to Norway and work in Norway, but don’t learn the language

Depends on whether they intend to move permanently, no? Most of my non‑Belgian colleagues don’t intend to stay in Belgium long term. I can’t fault them for that. :)

When they do intend to move permanently, I share your point of view.

They didn’t extort, but they did ask to essentially look the other way and in turn they will handle any hostilities of other groups.

Maybe not clear as daylight extortion. But I imagine it’s a precarious position nonetheless? Had your father not been as “easy going”, he could be the problem they’d take out?
