The sentence is a strong indication that the complimenting person wants to do some small talk.
And is starting with a personal remark commenting on one’s appearance.

I am a rather introvert person with some additional slight social anxiety issues.
Wouldn’t directly interpret it as “danger”, but would definitely get uncomfortable and depending on how good I know the person also anxious.

Ich wusste bis vor 10s noch nicht mal, was eine “Pfeffiflasche” ist… :-)

Sieht wieder aus wie eins der Dinge, für die ich zu südwestdeutsch bin, um sie zu kennen.

It is very hard to find something fitting, as the ü-sound doesn’t seem to exist at all in the English language.
Perhaps the nearest I can think of is, if you take the “eo” sound as you speak it in “theorem”, but try to make the “e” noise less high-pitched but make it sound fuller and somewhat deeper.

Three of our family’s five previous phones would like to disagree, as they all began struggling with unreliable USB-C connections (also during charging 😒) already after one or two years of use.
And two of those weren’t even used with a USB-headphone adapter…
Never had any similar problems with 3.5mm headphone jacks in the 10 years of smartphone usage preceding that. Just clean them once in a while from dust motes and you are fine.

That phone honestly looks great…
But one huge downside for many: It seems only to be available in North America… :-(

Back then I chose a Motorola because I was told I comes with the least amount of garbage pre-installed, is this still true?

This was definitely still true for the Moto G72 I am using for almost three years now, but had already changed for the Moto G54 my girlfriend bought 1.5 years ago.
This one had several unwanted and unremovable crap apps preinstalled. One forced itself to the screensaver with a button you often accidentally pushed that then started downloading and showing animated screens that led to online ads when you clicked on them. Very hard to disable and would return after each Firmware update…

I couldn’t find it in the list of models LineageOS supports

And being a device with a Mediatek chipset it is unfortunately very unlikely to ever appear there.

Oh my god, I totally love that news report!
Has some distinct Monty-Python-vibes!

Can someone please elaborate on the exploding whale?
Wikipedia is unusually cryptic on the subject in the article and Youtube won’t let me open the linked videos for some reason…

lf they are successful in Austria carrying that name, I will also buy one.

Because then they have to be really, really good to compensate that…

Yeah, but I actually prefer libre wolf!

[ok, ok, letting myself out…]

“You want lip too?”
… What?

HLI: Es gab anscheinend echt signifikant Menschen, die die Deckel vorher einfach in die Landschaft geschmissen haben… 😳

Can confirm that from my setup. Increasing the parallelization beyond 3-4 concurrent threads doesn’t also significantly increase the inference speed any more.
This is a telltale sign that some of the cores are starving because data doesn’t arrive fast enough any more…

Thanks for the reply! Learned some things I didn’t realize before.

Extremely tall mattresses are popular, so headboards must also be very tall or they’d be hidden.

Yes, I heard about the tall mattresses somewhere before. In this context the tall headboards suddenly make sense!

Regarding the length and width I had a look. Turns out, sizes are in reality not that different between US and EU (specifically: Germany). Most due to rounding differences between inches and cm. Exception seems to be King Size, which is a good deal (~5 inches) wider in the U.S.

There being no kitchen furniture in U.S. stores also makes sense if i put down my German glasses. Our custom that the kitchen is not part of the house/apartment you buy or rent but responsibility of the person living there is probably completely uncommon not only in the U.S…

What you told about the storage furniture is very interesting and something I entirely didn’t know. Here it is common to have massive cabinets and wardrobes for all kind of stuff (although since the rise of Ikea, racks and shelfs also have become very popular). I assumed that to be common also in the U.S. Very interesting difference!

Nursery and baby stuff typically also comes in special stores here, but we normally have huge sections for children and youth (i.e. teens) furniture in our department stores.

So, I would say somewhat different differences than I expected, very interesting!

Beides Lebensmittel mit potentiel ordentlicher Fruktose-Ladung…
Fruktose Intoleranz?
Hat sich bei meinem Neffen zuerst auch genau wie von Dir beschrieben geäussert.

The sparse models have a low number of active parameters during each run, while the total number of available parameters can be quite large.
This means that they also run well on systems with limited computation resources (but lots of RAM).
So you can basically run them completely without high-end-GPU on the CPU of of-the-shelf PCs and still easily achieve double-digit token/s values.

Seeing how impressive the 30b-a3b model already is on my aging desktop at home, this might be worth installing a RAM upgrade…

Das nachfolgende Fresskoma gehört dazu! ;-)

Wow, that’s new!
Great to hear!
Result of the recent EU regulotions?

Widerspreche.
