Makes me wonder what they are doing to reach these figures.
Because I can run many models at home and it wouldn’t require me to be pouring bottles of water on my PC, nor it would show on my electricity bill.

Only thing I can think of is liking to have a lot of holidays.

I’m from a Germanic colony, I fit much more their stereotypes.

A joke here in Brazil:
How does an Argentinian commit suicide? They climb on their ego and jump.

We love our hermanos 😁😁

Parsing user input? Nonsense data coming from an API?

There are some German dialects that only survive (barely) in Brazil.

And the German language is much older than Germany.

Nile Tilapia.

Also a type of duck we in my region of Brazil call “marreco”, the name in English seems to be Teal or Garganey.

Flags don’t make sense.

For something not urgent I can usually get a private GP within a week or a specialist within a month.

For something a bit more urgent, usually 1-2 hours in a private hospital, or 2-6 hours in a public one.

When going private the health insurance has always covered everything, so no cost.
Never had an emergency so I can’t say how it is.

I’ve read that all modern cryptography is based on an area (number theory?) that was once only considered “useful” for party tricks.

That is what version control is for.

It’s 30 days, but weekends count. Recently the law was amended to disallow scheduling vacations to start on a Friday because of that. It can be taken in full, or 15+15, or 10+20, or 10+10+10.

Brazil.
30 days + a lot of holidays.
At least 2 years for sickness if I’m not mistaken.

They are “media transformers” and might be useful if limited to it.

Knowledge retrieval certainly not, as “they” know nothing besides how likely one data fragment is to appear near other data fragments.

My favorite is “Inconsolata”

One technique I’ve heard being used by Bible translators to learn new languages: show some curious/interesting object, you’ll learn the phrase “what is this?”, then start pointing at everything and repeating it.

It is a nice backpack tho…

Why this controversy now? Tools like StyleGAN could do this for years already.

The description of the first primitive church in Jerusalem is very close to an ideal anarchist commune.

Iguaçu Falls, on the border between Brazil and Argentina. Nearby you could also visit Itaipu Dam, formerly largest in the world.
Going a bit into the same Brazilian state of Paraná, there’s also the amazing Vila Velha park, with incredible sandstone formations.
