I have absolutely no problems with AC when necessary, but I do have problems with unnecessary energy consumption in a warming planet.

I do not think AC preference has anything to do with political beliefs, and I despise the "us and them" tribal mentality.

You seem to be hellbent on marketing AC. I don't understand why it has to be a polarizing issue.

Clearly it is much different than heating in winter; the latter is a matter of survival, while the former is mostly a matter of comfort.

One could indeed argue that in the precarious state we are in, expending energy for unnecessary comfort should be minimized, something that passive designs can aid.

As we also try to minimize energy expenditure of heating, through insulation and other passive means.

Large scale ecosystem modifications run huge risks of unintended consequences.

Due to the chaotic nature of these systems we are incapable of predicting the effect of our actions.

It could very well be that by artificially increasing cloud cover we cross a different tipping point with grave consequences (e.g. flooding, ecosystem collapse from lack of sunlight, or who knows what)

But in a completely flight envelope and range requirements. It is not a coincidence that missiles that are higher range (cruise missiles) have not retained the extreme maneuverability of short range, solid booster powered ones.

ROM is to android what an image file is to Linux. A distro is a collection of software and tools, more akin to an android OS.

If you are going to be illegal, you might as well use library genesis and get DRM free ebooks :)

But you can install google camera without giving it network permissions.

Data harvesting is one of the core value propositions for many of these companies (from the investor's perspective).

Companies that built their models on public data and illegal scraping/copyrighted works, amassing massive datasets on the most private aspects of countless individuals, and creating a huge bubble with potentially humongous implications upon implosion. Oh, and, increasing wealth concentration and inequality by an incredible amount.

The future is here.

   > Rubio invoked images of US border patrol agents and elected leaders being “dragged before an international court” and tried by judges from around the world    

Astounding hypocrisy. The combination of these words with this administration's actions could only occur at the highest level of hubris and narcissism.

I'm sure they are aware that they are doing precisely the same, but just want no interference to their actions.

And most importantly, they do it to help the actual leader of the US: Netanyahu.

   > Chang established the basis of this research in a previous publication with an intentionally simplified model that ignored such complexities as geography and migration   

This seems like a very impactful simplification. Especially given the relative limited mobility of peoples up until very recently.

1. Even in the insanity of war, there are rules and ethics we collectively agree to (except Israel apparently with white phosphorus use). I find that gamifying taking human lives crosses the line.

2. Not every captured soldier of course, some don't even know where they are.

We also recently had COVID to cull the herd. I imagine many people are missing from the stats because of it.

When the temperature in Berlin is higher than 30degC, it becomes the south. People start to shout, honk, argue in the streets, stay up late.

We are affected by the weather much more than we'd like to admit.

You are definitely right that there are places in the US with great produce e.g. rural cali - much better than Germany's - but I still feel that on average there is higher quality food in Germany, less ultra processed food and a healthier food culture in general.

Of course I haven't scoured the states (not even Germany for that matter), so.. :)

> In Germany, there really are not so many places for quick food to grab, in general the food is actually quite poor, I don't find myself eating out at all.

That is wildly false. First of all the availability of eating out options is directly influenced by where you are (e.g. in Berlin there is incredible variety of cuisines, price ranges and healthiness), and secondly almost every food or grocery you buy in Germany is of higher quality than the US equivalent.

I remember my shock when every single food item I bought in the US had sugar in it.

This is not a bad thing. Wealth inequality is destructive for societies.

It teaches you a very specific way of thinking, albeit a useful one.

And that vague connection justifies what exactly ?

You can add a layer of another type of tape first if you need to cleanly remove it :)

A sea of patents designed to inhibit competition & promote rent extraction, and we are running around in circles chasing our tails wondering how we can compete with China.

Add to that more than $300 billion that the US has given to Israel as "aid". And as a thanks, a lost war with Iran with global economic implications.

Ah, a refined gentleman, more mature than Swiss cheese.

What are the implications of local SOTA inference, given the insane datacenter "investing" ?

It surely cannot be justified only for training at this scale, and since models nowadays are improved more and more by fine tuning than re-training from scratch.

Will a viable local model crash the US economy ?

More importantly, are the LLM companies aware, and are they deliberately buying out all the RAM and GPUs in order to prolong the inevitable ? Probably not, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case.

That is only in the case of GET with a body though.

What is compatible with a QUERY but not with a GET ?

84/100, also English as a second language. Language of choice in technical stuff, mother tongue in abstract and emotional

That's 325 euros, and here the cheapest you can find it is 350. which is is almost 50% more. Whatever floats your boat !

If you want to try it out, you can easily buy an 8a for like 250 euros used. 128GB is certainly good enough, unless you plan on migrating your mp3 library to it or you take a lot of videos. My only qualms is the lack of SD card, for the aforementioned mp3s.

And trust me you'll like it ;)
