Affordable Europe: Copenhagen

copenhagen-600.jpg

Prisbillig — that's the Danish word for cheap. Unfortunately, it's a word seldom heard in this Nordic city. One culprit is the powerful krone (or weak dollar). Another is the city's skyrocketing style quotient. An explosion of high-end hangouts and high-style buildings by name-brand architects — including Daniel Libeskind, Jean Nouvel, Zaha Hadid, Henning Larsen and Norman Foster — have helped make the Danish capital one of the planet's 10 most expensive cities.

Where to Stay for Under 125 Euros

he rooms at the Absalon Hotel (Helgolandsgade 15; 45-33-24-22-11; www.absalonhotel.dk) may be a beige mix of bland carpeting and floral fabrics. But its unbeatable location — in hip Vesterbro and just steps from Central Station and the Tivoli amusement park — puts the Absalon a cut above its lower-cost competitors. Throw in extras like Wi-Fi and breakfast, and you have the makings of a decent Danish deal. For travelers on a very tight budget, the hotel's annex (simpler rooms, shared bathrooms) is an even better value. Doubles in the annex start at 790 kroner, about $144 at 5.6 Danish kroner to $1, or 106 euros (the Internet rate is 710 kroner). Standard hotel doubles start at 1,360 kroner (Internet rate, 1,195 kroner).

Where to Eat

Why seek out French fare in Scandinavia? Because the gastronomic philanthropists at Les Trois Cochons (Vaernedamsvej 10; 45-33-31-70-55; www.cofoco.dk) are executing it with zest — and thrift. Housed in a former butcher shop (you can still spy the checkerboard tile floors and window-pane cabinets), this two-year-old nouveau bistro offers impeccable three-course meals for just 250 kroner. The seasonal menu, which changes monthly, recently included French-infused Danish dishes like halibut in mussel broth, beef with mushrooms in red-wine sauce, and roasted suckling pig with carrots, onions and mustard.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
