AND it’s subsidised by too big a supply of compute power - Microsoft prints demand for Azure, by buying ownership stakes in openAI through the grant of Azure credits. There’s too much available compute.

Considering our current energy consumption, we need to capture about an hour of the Sun’s energy being intercepted by Earth.

There’s 8760 hours in a year, so if we can intercept one 8760th part (~0.0114%) of the energy thrown our way. We can power our current demand levels, sure it would require some massive batteries

But it’s not impossible to think the tech being able to develop into energy mining from the surface of the ocean. Which covers 70% of the entire surface and only experiences shade through clouds. Assuming solar could capture 10% of the energy concentrated at their location, we’d basically have energy covered for decades if we plastered 1% of our surface with it. Or 1.43% of the surface of our oceans.

That would allow us to consume 8.7 times more energy than today.

For reference, the silicon cells we use today capture in the ballpark of 15-22% of the sunlight they receive. So getting to an average of 10% is possible.

All heterosexuals and homosexuals care about physical traits, often regarding a genitalia.

It’s not about being shallow, when 90%+(?) of the population shares that commonality.

I consider myself a panromantic, heterosexual non-binary person.

Sure personality matters a lot to me, but I can’t sexually engage with a penis. It’s just how it goes.

I’ve always understood it as pansexual being attracted to personalities and bisexual being attracted to physical attributes

Deepseek publicly claims to have created their models, by distilling competitors and that’s why they’re able to create them really really cheap.

There could be other motives behind such a claim, such as making competitors fear making their most powerful tools public.

Of course they have frontier labs around as well, at the very least at various universities.

What is the last known case of a US soldier disregarding an unlawful order?

Plenty of such reports from falcon pilots. They’re close enough to see the destruction they’re causing, so several stories have emerged of pilots calling off attacks

I used to work at an international, where the CEO left to create a new startup.

The amount of people that worked in his office, that made glazing email all (yep all 2500 global workers) was astounding. In short, that guy was seen mostly as a joke in a large slew of the offices. Because he was so lost from reality.

But he had a cult following, because he was some kind of a name within a niche

Probably not money, but giving Musk something else he wants

a big part is the perception of what you’re used to, I rarely eat meat nowadays and when I do it tends to be game.

My burger patties have gotten to a point where I prefer them to any meat alternative, I’m not saying they’re the same. Outside of serving the same purpose in a burger, but it’s pretty wild I scoff at minced red deer meat now - It just doesn’t carry the same umfph

These are '23 scores, part of it was due to lockdown. Which we’re slowly approaching the point of which, 13 year olds had their entire school period in class again.

But I do, as you do, expect the capabilities to have free further from '23 to '25

20*21*12 is more than 50k?

Hating a minority is a theme showing up in politics, every time a society had a downturn.

Jews were scapegoats, they were generally seen as greedy and thrifty. So when the economy went to shit, the workers blamed an ethnic group associated with being successful business people.

The hate for Muslims went up a lot in the aftermath of the 08 crisis. Although the reasons for problems tends to be greed among the elites, they also tend to control the narrative. And will throw a minority under the bus to save themselves

I’m pretty confident Putin is the number one backer of immortality age reversal research globally.

He does all sorts of things, as is tradition among Russian Tzar’s, to halt his aging. The joke is the anti aging gurus tend to die before turning 70 and it has scared every Russian leader in history when they’ve observed that

It’s not like the job market is good at the moment.

Just finding a job isnt an easy task currently

The hello is not the issue. But getting a notification before the question is.

Ultimately what happens if there’s a bunch of “helloers” approaching you, you end up muting the messaging app and only check messages every X time. Rather than being available, pros and cons. And there’s definitely an argument to be had, that it’s the superior way of working - But hello only people, just shoot themselves in their foot and get longer time to response

How come you find the latter annoying?

It’s the most effective way to let the entire company aware they should not start their conversation that way with me

I have people I just ignore until there’s two notifications

I honestly think the styling is the main reason it feels AI.

because the sentences are too short, they’re a style I sort of writes at times. Just sort of. LLMs tends to output longer sentences, rather than the two-three words. Then dot. That’s a rare one for LLM

However it’s not an anti AI site, so they might have vibe styled it and probably had a LLM help with some of the wording. However I think a human did vet and rewrite parts of it.

I’m so happy my grandparents bought their laptops from the local computer store.

They’re marking everything up, pretty wildly, but damn do they offer support.

And they also pushed FOSS on them, through libre office rather than the insane Microsoft office subscriptions the big chains try to push on their customers

need to crowd fund a comedy statue that will get them loads of publicity?

Because it gives them loads more of publicity, also people loves to be involved if they have a chip in it.

Why do people buy subscriptions for the biggest streamers, earning 10s of thousands of dollars in ad revenue each month? Because they want to be a part of it, they want to chip in to let the show go on
