But it can't create new knowledge and when you think you know everything, your first emotion is arrogance. One of the coolest words in #norwegian is "hvorfor", which means "why" but more "what for or for what purpose". And the Norse were outrageously curious people, sometimes to their own detriment. AI lacks adventure in the not knowing. It won't test itself to know more (or poke feisty #scottish people) #ai #news https://www.zdnet.com/article/ai-has-grown-beyond-human-knowledge-says-googles-deepmind-unit/

AI has grown beyond human knowledge, says Google's DeepMind unit

A new agentic approach called 'streams' will let AI models learn from the experience of the environment without human 'pre-judgment'.

Just found out the word "by" ('city', but keep reading) is associated with bigger settlements in #Norwegian than in #Danish - and then NRK just wrote a related article!

In Denmark, you just need 200 citizens for a "by" (legally). While a prototypical one is bigger, a small one is still a "by", but may just be a "landsby" ('town/village', the first part means 'country').

Norway has no automatic "by"-status, but it can be granted to places usually with 5000+ citizens 🏘️

Er dette en by?

Vil kaste seg inn i det norske by-kappløpet.

Bugge Wesseltoft – Am Are "The title of the latest LP Am Are reflects 2022's Be Am, but is almost the antithesis of that light piano conversation with himself. ..

It feels as though he has gone to the pub and it is filled with different groups of friends that are intent on different conversations, and he is flitting around like a social butterfly, dipping in here and dipping in there". #norwegian #jazz https://freq.org.uk/reviews/bugge-wesseltoft-am-are/

"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity."

This season is coming to an end and so our little camp will do this Saturday. When we leave, this site is being shut down until March as fishing season is being superseded by late Autumn and Winter. Until then, the change of seasons (and weather) is still something that amazes you each morning when waking up despite of the current weather conditions.

"I sit beside the fire and think. Of all that I have seen. Of meadow flowers and butterflies. In summers that have been. Of yellow leaves and gossamer. In autumns that there were. With morning mist and silver sun. And wind upon my hair."

(J.R.R. Tolkien)

Ombo is an island in the municipality of Stavanger in Rogaland county, Norway. The 57.5-square-kilometre (22.2 sq mi) island is the largest island in the Ryfylke region and the second largest island in Rogaland county.

After the road was built around the island of Ombo, a distinctive rock formation was visible from the new road. The rock formation looks like a face, and was originally named Adam. Among the local residents, this is also called "Ombo-gubben" so we had to visit it while driving over the island.
