In canada we have a chain called bulk barn that does this. Grains, nuts, candy, dog food and spices.

4·3 months agoI think one of the silver linings of ai is that when the bubble bursts and/or they are able to develop more efficient models there will be a glut of power, which will make electricification cheaper.
That looks pretty good I’ll have to try and find one in that style thanks!

2·3 months agoI think there is some nuance here. Data centers are being put in cities that cannot support them at the expense of their citizens, this is a corruption problem in my opinion. Data centers could also be much more water conservant than they are, and significantly less polluting and I appreciate the public pressure they are on to improve here. The warm water being released can damage the local ecosystem as well.
I have definitely seen some absurd claims about water usage, but it also isnt totally unconcerning either.
Imo its a pr strategy, water usage is a much more solvable issue than the immense energy usage, and the ai companies would rather actovists attack them for that than for the significant power consumption.
I think the power usage is also going to go down, either because they make ai more efficient, or because they can’t make it more efficient and it continues to make no economic sense and mostly goes away. Hopefully that latter scenario leads to a lot of excess green energy to be constructed which would make electrifying the world a little easier. But that is probably wishful thinking.
How do you have them positioned? I have mirrors on my bike but they kinda useless, the slight movements I make on the handlebars+bumps in the road make them too hard to see. If I put them more at the center of my handlebars so they move less then I can’t see anything but my own bike.

In 5 years it’ll be 31/4/15 9:26:53 for you, but that requires getting rid of 0 padding april which i don’t like.
