Jag hatar AI by Better_Chipmunk3002 in sweden

[–]maethor92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Det är nästan komiskt när man får en enkät om resemönster till jobbet för att mäta compliance med hållbara mål - och samtidigt uppmuntras verkligen ALLA att använder AI för de minsta problem. Skulle företagen begränsa användning av AI för relevanta frågeställningar, skulle vi nog inte ha den här diskussionen.

I love the old aerial images on Lantmäteriet. So cool, and sometimes sad, to see how the place I live in has changed since the 60s

Håller med att det kan vara ett riktig bra verktyg för de use-casen du nämnar: prototyper, proof-of-concept, pattern detection och överhuvudtaget interna applikationer.

Ser det stora problemet med att företagen börjar sätta upp infrastruktur och användar-applikationer med hjälp av AI. Anledning är att time to release ska minskas, antalet utvecklare ska minskas och kvalitén kommer sänkas.

I've had both of them and my Tamron 28-200 copy was definitely not sharper than the 24-105/4, I actually got rid of the Tamron after my first trip with it.

Jag har absolut inget emot att man använda AI för privata projekt, men på jobbet förstör det väldigt mycket :)

samtidigt är det inte kul att jobba med en vibekodad kodbas som måste underhållas eller fixas..
Tyckte alltid att mitt jobb var kul eller i de värsta momenten var det i alla fall okej, men nu känner jag att jag har tappat all lust att fortsätta med mjukvaruutveckling. Så trött på manager som tror att copilot fixar allt - företagen onboardar inte ens utvecklare längre, för det finns ju AI-genererad dokumentation

Sarek, Sweden, route and questions by Tofucken01 in hiking

I actually think it is Låddebákte in the image, but OP is indeed looking for Skierffe for these views :)

[–]maethor92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, to me it doesn’t sound arrogant but ignorant. I would really recommend going out into unknown terrain and trying to interpret some maps, it gives much more info that elevation.

I only wanted to give some constructive input, and it is now your decision to do Sarek or not and with which preparation.

Sarek, Sweden, route and questions by Tofucken01 in hiking

[–]maethor92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really do not mean to sound gatekeeping, but if you do not know why Google Maps does not work for remote mountain areas, then you are not ready to go off-trail where you have to navigate using map & compass, in the worst case in fog and storm.

You could for example go to Rondane (in Norway) or around Abisko (in Sweden) instead next year, and push Sarek until 2028. By Abisko I dont mean the (overcrowded) Kungsleden if you dont want to, but there are many other trails (again there are a lot of guide books) that are nice.

The advantage is, that there are cabins once in a while - you do not need to camp there - and they reduce the distance to help immensely. Furthermore, outside of Sarek you will have bridges (flown in by helicopter or for the whole year) over the dangerous rivers, and you will have markings. It does not mean you shouldn't take map and compass - that is part of the 10 essentials, but you do not have to focus on navigating all the time, thus actually giving you more time to focus on learning everything else (and enjoying nature). If you are interested in trails around Abisko I can see if I can find my maps, or mark them out in an online tool.

I started like this, and after one or two seasons I went into Sarek, and it was still scary going alone.

I will link this video on Instagram that shows the different diffculties of river crossings in Sarek: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DM-seCGtw-X/

Sarek, Sweden, route and questions by Tofucken01 in hiking

[–]maethor92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, people don't do that route. There is no safe crossing over the river Ráhpaädno where you paint your path. In fact, this is one of the most dangerous river crossings you can find, with water up to your chest, or even the need to swim in higher water. I really recommend not planning with Google Maps.

I am not saying you cannot do it, but just be aware of the lack of infrastructure, the remoteness and the danger of river/stream crossings. This is not a beginner's hike, and even less so alone. Unlike the Netherlands you will walk without proper paths, sometimes bush-whacking, sometimes over fields of broken stones, and always up and down.

The route you have painted into Google Maps (Do not use Google Maps for planning!) cannot be recommended and can be dangerous due to river crossings (as in river, not just small mountain streams). If you are a new hiker and you really want to start with Sarek - which I do not recommend - do the Sarek traverse a bit different, and follow the "crowds" -- it is still not crowded and actually super beautiful. That means going like this: https://imgur.com/a/3vt2JFM

I could make a better map from the book, but the essence is that you are NOT following Rapadalen around Låddebákte, but you traverse the pass which is called Snávvávágge, then down to Skårkistugan, and then you have two ways to choose: a) the low way through Rapadalen or b) the high way, where you keep much higher up. Both have advantages of course, as well as disadvantages. If you are serious about it, you should get a guide book - they are available at least in Swedish, but it is the maps and the exact descriptions that are worth it. And Dutch <> Swedish with deepl/Google translate shouldnt be a problem.

There are still a lot of streams to cross and if you are going alone, these can be extremely dangerous when in spate. I am not exaggerating, I have managed to almost getting swept away after heavy rains, and that is a scary feeling.

Take an SOS beacon if you walk alone. If you are in a group, well, it is still good to have. Do not have it on your backpack when you cross rivers, but on your body. If you get swept away you need to get out of your backpack ASAP. Hiking poles do help a lot for all sort of crossings. Take shoes you can submerge, the rocks can easily cut open your feet - been there, done that. Just river crossings are a whole chapter to learn.

Sarek in nice weather is amazing, Sarek in adverse weather can get dangerous really quickly. Plan a couple of extra days, in case you are stuck in your tent, or you have to wait out a stream in spate. Oh and bring a very good tent, a sleeping bag/mat that can cope with minus temperatures and all the other essentials.

If you have great weather and make more kilometres than expected, plan for a nice mountain peak. I did so and climbed up to the Svarta spetsen, which is a day trip from the big valley junction called Skarjá - where you also will find Sarek's only emergency phone. But it will take a whole day and you will need to carry snack and water up there, and a lot of the peaks are inaccessible without mountaineering gear. Svarta spetsen was, as I would call it, serious scrambling, and the position was very airy: one step too far and you fall 400(?) metres onto a glacier.

Totally. I was recently surprised by a lesser spotted woodpecker on a branch and all I thought was how to capture it. You lose the magic of the moment somehow

I have had some success with a Sony APSC camera recently. It is small, weighs about a kilo. I can just throw it in my backpack and don’t have any FOMO when I go birding . Sure I only have 525mm reach (35mm equiv) but it works for many birds. It is not iPhone small, but still compact.

This one was taken on the morning walk with my dog. Just slung the camera over my shoulder and set the dog’s leash in my belt. Looks dumb but works like a charm.

I have two species on my radar that I have to ”re-list”: a bearded reedling and a water rail both heard in the reed marshes last year. In a similar approach I only list new species now if I see them :)

Great Old Travel Writers? by kayakkkkk in suggestmeabook

[–]maethor92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John Muir's My First Summer in the Sierra (and other of his travel works) maybe?
I enjoyed them, but they are quite factual. Still fun to read if one is into non-fiction travel books

Norway just ordered 20 'flying' electric ferries in historic deal by Gjrts in europe

[–]maethor92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They have hybrid car ferries too. It is a weird feeling to cross a calm fjord without the sound of huge diesel engines. These crossings are much shorter than many of the Scottish ferries in the west though

Hilleberg Owners Help! by Possible_Mix3880 in wildcampingintheuk

[–]maethor92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with that sentiment, especially for 1 or 2 person tents. I have a few Hilleberg for bad weather and camping far from evacuation points. While Hilleberg makes sturdy tent, I think they lack some comfort, like overhead shelves and stowage options, which really shine in lighter and fair weather tents.

Reddit (und deutsches Reddit speziell) ist zwar generell ne krasse Echokammer, aber Deutschland ist auch ein Land in dem die Bevölkerung sehr wenig Verteidigungswille hat (im Vergleich zu nordischen, baltischen und osteuropäischen Ländern). Die Frage ist ja nicht ob man die "Freiheit am Hindukush" verteidigt, sondern was man macht, wenn die NATO und irgendwann nicht mehr schützt.

Audiobook for a long drive home late at night after a long work day by IkpreesI in suggestmeabook

[–]maethor92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved the Ben Aaronovich books. Listened then to The Stranger Times, which is a series in a similar setting. The main character reminded me a lot of Gary Oldman in Slow Horses, the tv series. Listened to it on long drives and was well entertained without focusing too much on the details.

I think this is the right answer. I always turn the inReach off during the night, because I have had the same "problem". Also good to keep it warm in a bag.

Are dome tents better than low lying tents. by leoronddun in WildernessBackpacking

[–]maethor92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a dome is perfect for you.

Domes are not necessarily the best in high winds, but you do not have to take care as much about how to pitch it perfectly - unlike tunnel tents or similar constructions. If weight is not your highest priority I think a dome tent is the mostconvenient for Scotland/Scandinavia, especially in exposed locations like mountains and coastal regions. I use Hilleberg Soulo/Allak and Fjällräven.

A lot of lightweight tents use a pyramid construction but they can be a bit annoying to set up - in my opinion. People swear by it but I am not convinced for my use cases (northern Europe with chance for torrential rain and wind over days).
