You sound like the people who assured me that I needed to understand NFTs or I’d get left behind. Actually, were you one of them?

Real big if. There’s reason to believe that current models aren’t going to get much better. They’ve eaten all the training data they possibly can. Improving with further training takes exponentially more power to get a small improvement. We’re talking about new nuclear reactors because that’s what they need to get anywhere, but it’s still not going to improve by much.

The field needs a new model that can get better results on less data and less training. Then we wouldn’t need those nukes. It doesn’t appear we’ll get much better any other way.

I’ll go the opposite way. The fact that there are serious plans to spin up nuclear reactors to run nothing but AI datacenters is ridiculous.

I dunno, I don’t do math very well when I dream.

Maybe because the list of things Larry Sanger has done against Wikipedia is much, much shorter than Putin?

… before this whole AI bubble collapses and their value plummets.

Sounds like they meant economics to me.

We taught sand to do math

And now we’re teaching it to dream

All the stupid fucks can think to do with it

Is sell more cars

Companies are responsible for hiring their subcontractors. They don’t get to pass on guilt through indirection.

Never mind that, when can I buy my $10,000 electric car with 2000 miles of range? That’s the important thing, here.

That’s what the calculators are for. This has been done.

This. There is too much local variation in sunlight angle and weather to give a straight answer. An easy method is to take the rated output and multiply by 0.2, but even that is merely a rough average over a year.

They wouldn’t take the opportunity because what you lay out would require large scale cooperation of people who work at cross purposes. The GOP in Congress can’t even pass a funding bill that Dear Leader supported without it being a crisis. They are not that united.

Side effect of him stepping away from the CEO role, I guess.

They do have a solution for the ozone and dust problems. See this video at about the 9 minute mark:

https://youtu.be/fyai_kUYhLs?t=539

tl;dw: they’re using a cataylist to convert the ozone. There’s a lack of specifics on the dust issue, but they apparently have thought about it and have something there.

One other issue is that the static pressure is abysmal. You can work around that, but it’s not a drop in thing.

That’s actually a very nice screwdriver. Nice ratchet screw drivers do cost that much. I have one, but given where LTT is these days as a company, I don’t recommend buying it.

I would be very happy if creators were able to fund their operations off their own merch rather than outside advertising. That seems to be what Gamers Nexus does, or at least heading that way. What LTT does, though, is use it as an additional revenue source on top of their other advertising sources. Doing it right means resisting the urge to consume more and more, and LTT is not capable of that.

I don’t mind things that are an actual thing to buy. I want to research it first–you can get a better electric razor than Manscaped for not much more–but at least it’s clear how they make their money. Honey was obviously getting money from someone other than their users, and that’s an immediate red flag.

They didn’t hide it, but a huge portion of their audience doesn’t read the forums. A 10 minute video of Linus ranting about them would have opened this scandal to a wider audience years ago.

Datda? Hondsun?

Hydrogen ICE is doubling down on hydrogen’s greatest flaw: efficiency. It’ll have some racing applications, but putting it in a common car is stupid as fuck.

This is information I will use.
