Data center emissions likely 662% higher than big tech claims. Can it keep up the ruse?
  • For me it's because I'm not convinced LLMs are really a stepping stone to any actual AI. They don't have educational applications imo because there isn't any way they can separate truth from fiction. They don't understand the words that they output; they're just predictive text generators on a huge scale. This isn't something that can change with better tech either; it's baked in to the very concept of an LLM. And worse, when they are wrong there's no way to tell without already knowing the answer to the questions you're asking. They're literally just monkeys with typewriters. This is an extremely good article about the kinds of problems I'm taking about.

  • Nah, they're resistant to that because their whole engine is fueled with hate. They have persecution and victim complexes. Calling them weird actually seems to affect them because their whole thing is parading around as if they're the party for "average" aka "normal"(white) Americans.

    Does a phone ring if it doesn't make a sound?
  • Language for sounds doesnt work like that though. If I hear a pop song and say "dang that's a great snare" it isn't wrong if technically the sound is actually a synthesized snare. When you hear something you can name it without it having to be physically present. Plus plenty of things ring without being a bell.

    Explaining the inflation rate
  • I know this is a joke but deflation can be scary too. Basically if it becomes a pattern then consumer spending will crater since people know if they wait their money will be with more in the future. Obviously this effect is less on stuff people have to buy to survive but it's still not desired.

    What Film Are You Surprised Didn't Get A Sequel?
  • Look, I'm not saying any of them come close to the original, but imo it's the second best of the series (including all the dogshit jurassic worlds) because it sticks to what made the first one great; small amount of people trapped on an island with dinos. The Lost World was like half that but then it turns in to some weird almost king kong-esq thing. Also i love me some Goldblum but he's better as a foil imo and Chris Pratt has nowhere near the gravitas as Sam Neil. Like really besides the annoying parents what do you not like about the third one?

  • I think it's like an old school Georgian (the US state) accent. I have family from that area that sound exactly like that. I don't have a problem understanding it for that reason but i could totally see not knowing wtf he's saying. Just wanted to say there are indeed people that sound like that in case people thought it was just a British person putting on a bad southern accent.

    Russian APC is destroyed by an FPV drone from the "Wings of Hell" UAV unit in the Kursk region.
  • This might be a stupid question, but are the video artifacts real in this? For some reason they look way more like analog (like a vhs tape) than digital artifacts but surely that can't be the case?

  • couldn't pronounce "graphics"

    That's not how acronym pronunciation works though. We don't pronounce them based on the words they stand for, otherwise we would pronounce NASA, SCUBA, LASER, etc. differently. Both pronunciations have valid arguments so why can't we just accept both and stop being weird about it.
