Behöver inte vara dollarmiljardär för att tjäna bättre på pengarna man har än vad man gör på lönearbete.

Genomsnittliga årsavkastningen på börsen är ~7%
Har man 6 500 000 SEK på ett ISK-konto som följer snittet i avkastning så ger det med andra ord en avkastning på 455 000 om året.
Dra bort schablonskatten på ISK-kontot, 2025 landar den på 56 388 SEK enligt en online kalkylator och man landar på (455000 - 56388)/12 = 33217,67 SEK i månaden efter skatt.

Utifrån det är det inte så svårt att se att de rika blir rikare och att den som knegar aldrig hinner ifatt.

Waist-to-height ratio can help supplement the BMI measure without needing any special body fat scales or stuff like that.
It's also a really simple one to remember. Keep your waist circumference below half your height.

Our aim was to differentiate the screening potential of waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and waist circumference (WC) for adult cardiometabolic risk in people of different nationalities and to compare both with body mass index (BMI).
[..]
Compared with BMI, WC improved discrimination of adverse outcomes by 3% (P < 0.05) and WHtR improved discrimination by 4-5% over BMI (P < 0.01). Most importantly, statistical analysis of the within-study difference in AUC showed WHtR to be significantly better than WC for diabetes, hypertension, CVD and all outcomes (P < 0.005) in men and women. For the first time, robust statistical evidence from studies involving more than 300 000 adults in several ethnic groups, shows the superiority of WHtR over WC and BMI for detecting cardiometabolic risk factors in both sexes.

[...]the authors of the report determined that the energy used for a single query to the open-source Llama 3.1 8B engine used around 57 joules of energy to generate a response.[...]

A larger model, like Llama 3.1 405B, needs around 6,706 joules per response – eight seconds of microwave usage.

In other words, the size of a particular model plays a huge role in how much energy it uses.
Although its true size is a mystery, OpenAI's GPT-4 is estimated to have well over a trillion parameters, meaning its per-query energy footprint is likely far higher than the Llama queries tested.[...]

AI video generation, on the other hand, is an energy sinkhole.

In order to generate a five-second long video at 16 frames per second, the CogVideoX AI video generation model consumes a whopping 3.4 million joules of energy – equivalent to running a microwave for an hour or riding 38 miles on an e-bike, Hugging Face researchers told the Tech Review.

I imagine the following communities can be helpful:
!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
!privacy@programming.dev

But any guide would essentially be:

  • Identify what kind of services and products from Google that you use (ex: Android, Google Maps)
  • Identify replacements for those services and products (ex: GrapheneOS or LineageOS instead of Android and OrganicMaps, OSMAnd or Magic Earth instead of Google Maps)
  • Verify that the replacements work for you
  • Make a plan on how to move to the replacements you have identified. (ex: Backup all important data on the phone before changing OS)

I only run it on propane, so when I get the BBQ grill out in spring and burn that one I do the generator too. The "clean" parts of the schedule are a lot simpler if you don't run it on petrol.

Luckily my tiny 2000W require annual and not monthly maintenance. :)

If you browse Backblaze statistics you will find that all brands are reliable nowadays. At least if you go for the datacentre brands (such as Seagate Exos).

Regarding NAS I historically enjoyed Synology but they're currently aiming to start forcing you to pay 2x the normal amount to use their own branded drives.
Personally I built a Debian m-itx server for my fileserver (and other server) needs.

edit: 2024 stats

Thanks for the review of it!

Ah, good catch.

Mor says Wi-Charge’s wireless power transfer efficiency is about 15 percent compared to a direct wired connection.
That’s not counting the energy used to power the transmitter’s Wi-Fi connection, status LEDs, and so forth.

Last time I read about this about 2/3 of the energy of the laser disappeared during the conversion to electricity. Has that improved?
