It's really slow. Like, unusably slow. For those interested in self-hosting, this is a really good resource: https://github.com/XiongjieDai/GPU-Benchmarks-on-LLM-Inferen...

Barely is not can't. You either can or you can't. If you can't, you get kicked out of your home and they auction it off to pay for the taxes.

It happens. It's disgusting when it does. It IS a problem.

But it's not happening to half the country. That's nonsense. And when you say nonsense, it keeps others from taking the problem seriously.

> That means about 50% of the US can not afford a place to live.

So 50% of the US are homeless?

My understanding of the feature, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that you are not granted write access based on a hash. You already have write access. You can use the hash to avoid overwriting someone else's data that was appended to the file in between you checking the file and writing to it. If you already have write access, the hash is irrelevant. As a bad actor, you can corrupt the data without it.

MD5 should not be used for anything security related. Granting write access based on an MD5 hash would be a huge no-no.

MD5 hash collisions are unlikely to happen at random. The defect was that you can make it happen purposefully, making it useless for security.

And if they hadn't, would that make the US less of a democratic republic? Not relevant.

Also, see Guam, US Virgin Islands, etc who didn't vote for anything.

At no point did Filipinos have the ability to vote for Senators, Congressmen, or the President. Same for Puerto Ricans. US has other territories too, by the way, with the same restrictions.

You have no problem calling the US a democracy, but when the same rules are applied elsewhere you have a problem?

Do you recall the US occupying the Philippines? Did they get a vote?

How about Puerto Rico today?

The US is still a democratic republic.

The plug is the thing that matters, not the protocol. It will enable non-Tesla vehicles to use the Tesla network.

That is a lot of text for what is a very simple concept. Being able to say "no".

> Even then, they're held on a leash and abused through visa programs like in the US where they're paid a fraction of the rates their US native counterparts earn

That is not abuse. They can leave anytime. And if you talk to them, they are grateful for the opportunity to work here for "a fraction of the rates their US native counterparts earn" and would resent people like you who would take that away from them.

What is outrageous about the story posted is that they can't leave anytime they want. Their passport is taken from them. That's wrong.

Your math is wrong. That said, economists differentiate between nominal and real growth. GDP reports growth that has already been adjusted for inflation. It represents an actual increase in more goods and services produced.

Not everyone is necessary. You just need a critical number to balance the grid.

So Mercedes' solution is to offer a product that isn't usable? Why bother releasing it?

Yes. Focus on education and providing more information, not suppressing the information you don't like.

> What would be your suggestion to this problem? Just ignore it?

Nobody is ignoring it. Platforms are detecting this and providing more content around it, informing the user. This is annoying to some, but far better than banning or shadow banning the content.

There are plenty of solutions. The good ones revolve around providing MORE information, not suppressing the information you don't like.

> disinformation is not a free speech issue.

Yes, it is.

> Saying we shouldn’t fight it is as invalid as saying we shouldn’t repel an invading force because that enemy has a right to bear arms.

You're conflating the rights of citizens vs foreigners. Your own citizens are not your enemy. You should never call them that. That sort of thinking is what gets you internment camps. That is a road which we already traveled and do not need to travel again.

The difference between "you can't say that" and "you will go to jail if you say that" is very minor and plenty of western nations have already breached that wall.

This isn't about privacy, it's about free speech as stated above. He wants to make the code public, not keep it in private.

He's not missing the point, he's outright saying that statement is true because of the reasons he gave?

Europe simply printed more money than the US. Same for everyone else.

> Where do you live that electricity is that expensive during the day and arbitrage rate is that high to create a thousand dollars a year in savings?

I live in the US, where the federal government subsidized half the system cost (at least when I installed it) via tax credits. I save about a 100 bucks a month on electric, since I can charge my car at night at a discount, which requires a special meter enabled by the system.

> What kind of idiot is going to shell out six grand just to drain his truck battery for the same purpose?

This one, I already have. I paid more than that for two Tesla powerwalls. I use them for load shifting. I charge at night when electricity is cheap and use them during the day. They already paid for themselves in savings. Oh yeah, no more power outages either.

We can stop at 3rd parties. That's reasonable enough.

> I don't see how it makes sense to say you're paying property taxes when they have next to zero effect on your cost of living.

Why do they need to have an effect on rent for you to understand that you're paying them?

Bobby gave Lisa $10. Lisa then gave $3 to Uncle Sam. What percentage of Bobby's money went to Uncle Sam? 30%. It's that simple.

Bobby gave Lisa $10. Lisa then gave $3 to Uncle Sam. What percentage of Bobby's money went to Uncle Sam? 30%. It's that simple. Bobby gave Uncle Sam 30% of his money.

OP didn’t say anything about NYC?

Why are you assuming he lives in NYC?

You're making a pretty fundamental mistake. I am not speculating about the elasticity of rent. If taxes went to 0, would rent go down? Probably not.

So what?

The percentage of rent that is taxes is exactly the amount paid in taxes by the landlord. Period. It is an absolute number.

I didn't say anything about increases in taxes. You added that. I also didn't say anything about increases or drops in rent. You added that again.

That's not how things work. When you file your taxes, your rental properties will be treated as a business and the taxes paid there are a business expense. They are deducted from any rental income before the income is counted for the landlord. It is essentially as if the renter is paying the government directly.

Where did I assume that?
