I think we kinda misunderstand what the other person is saying/what they imagine the outcome to be. There’s a crass culture difference here.

In the UK (and presumably most other European countries) the police would 100% escalate things if they see someone with a gun near a large aggregation of people. Carrying guns like that is simply illegal and the only reasonable deduction is that you carry a gun because you want to use it - i.e. you are about to commit murder.

Police violence against protesters is usually limited to water cannons and tear gas, maybe rubber bullets. Protester violence is rare, sometimes throwing rocks, maybe Molotov cocktails and burning cars.

By and large guns don’t provide security.

There are a lot more creative ways to protest violently though!

Lmao I love the word jokes. Especially the alt text one.

Bro,we have an international standard for this. To count things you need to use the unit of mole. This town has 9.96323e-21 mol of people in it.

That is true for most current “self driving” systems, because they are all just glorified assist features. Tesla is misleading its customers massively with their advertisement, but on paper it’s very clear that the car will only assist in safe conditions, the driver needs to be able to react immediately at all times and therefore is also liable.

However, Mercedes (I think it was them) have started to roll out a feather where they will actually take responsibility for any accidents that happen due to this system. For now it’s restricted to nice weather and a few select roads, but the progress is there!

Eh it’s not that great.

One million Blackwell GPUs would suck down an astonishing 1.875 gigawatts of power. For context, a typical nuclear power plant only produces 1 gigawatt of power.

Fossil fuel-burning plants, whether that’s natural gas, coal, or oil, produce even less. There’s no way to ramp up nuclear capacity in the time it will take to supply these millions of chips, so much, if not all, of that extra power demand is going to come from carbon-emitting sources.

If you ignore the two fastest growing methods of power generation, which coincidentally are also carbon free, cheap and scalable, the future does indeed look bleak. But solar and wind do exist…

The rest is purely a policy rant. Yes, if productivity increases we need some way of distributing the gains from said productivity increase fairly across the population. But jumping to the conclusion that, since this is a challenge to be solved, the increase in productivity is bad, is just stupid.

So it stops once someone doesn’t finish?

You can literally run large language models with a single exe download: https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile

It doesn’t get much simpler than that.

Yeah, the joke and alt text are delivered quite nicely.

This is wildly dependent on infrastructure. Both for the convenience and danger axis.

You can argue that “per person miles” is a better metric, but that is completely orthogonal to their initial claim.

There are basically no unsafe ways to get off of a unicycle. You can fall in any direction and just end up standing next to your unicycle. Compare that to a bicycle “over the handle bars”-accident.

Addendum:

The docs say

For reproducible outputs, set temperature to 0 and seed to a number:

But what they should say is

For reproducible outputs, set temperature to 0 or seed to a number:

Easy mistake to make

I appreciate the constructive comment.

Unfortunately the API docs are incomplete (insert obi wan meme here). The seed value is both optional and irrelevant when setting the temperature to 0. I just tested it.

Yeah no, that’s not how this works.

Where in the process does that seed play a role and what do you even mean with numerical noise?

Edit: I feel like I should add that I am very interested in learning more. If you can provide me with any sources to show that GPTs are inherently random I am happy to eat my own hat.

Ah, gotcha.

Is there like a list where you can enter your server so that other people use it as an ntp server? Or how did you advertise it to have 2800 requests flooding in?

Crypto is basically cash for online transactions. Pretty niche, but cool and definitely in demand for some situations.

Just how in the real world you’re shit outta luck if you lose your wallet. Or if you give someone money, but they laugh you in the face you can either cut your losses or try your luck in a fist fight. It’s the same with crypto.

With banks you have a separate authority that can handle all these cases, which is desirable in 99% of all transactions.

Unfortunately it’s volatile af, and the most popular crypto currency (Bitcoin)has untenable transaction costs and transaction limitations (10 transactions per second, globally - what a stupid design decision)

I’ve used it to improve selected paragraphs of my writing, provide code snippets and find an old comic based on a crude description of a friend.

I feel like these interactions were valuable to me and only one (code snippets) could have been easily replaced with existing tools.

I have similar specs and cost with ionos
