Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.
And I said comparisons can be made.
If those cloud models are getting comparable results but using way more electricity, why would companies be running them? They like making profit, don’t they? They’re not some kind of Captain Planet villains chortling at being maximally wasteful.
Comparisons can be made using open AI models. I run some locally on my own hardware, I know exactly how much energy they use.
The energy consumption can be measured, very approximately, by the cost of the tokens. If you design agentic tools to make use of fewer, cheaper tokens then you’re likely also minimizing the energy usage.
This seems similar in general outline to Hyphanet, a system for distributed data storage that automatically handles random distribution and distributed searching. Unfortunately I don’t think Anna’s Archive puts its data on there, but perhaps you could consider having your client bridge to that and use it as an additional backup cache.
Which, conveniently, Anthropic CEO defines as “AI from our competitors.”
Well there’s a headline that’s going to have a lot of sane comments under it.
I’m not even clear on how the bamboo is supposed to damage the data center.
Conversion from epub to txt is a highly lossy process, there’s a lot of formatting that gets thrown away.
Regardless of how individual ebook readers may display epubs a little differently, epub is an open format so I would recommend keeping it in that form at least for archival purposes.
To do what? They had established that he was performing activities that needed to be stopped, he’s not owed more time to do those activities in.
Neither are forklifts. It’s an analogy, not exactly the same thing.
As I said, I can write programs in assembly language. I have actually done so, small trivial ones. I’m not a businessman, I’m a programmer. But I use compilers basically all the time because it would be ridiculous not to.
If an AI is able to break something in a way that no human can fix then I suppose that’s a sign that AI has exceeded human capabilities. Do you think it’s there yet?
And yet the person with the forklift is moving more stuff than the guy who did it by hand could manage. The “over” in “over-reliance” is a subjective value judgment and I just don’t agree.
I’m not seeing the problem here. Technology is developed specifically for this purpose, to remove unnecessary burden from humans and enhance their capabilities. There’s nothing noble about laboring unnecessarily hard to accomplish goals in a suboptimal manner. I could write programs in assembly language but instead I use high-level languages and compilers. Does that result in over-reliance on compilers?
John Henry died in the process of “beating” the steam hammer and then got replaced anyway. Nowadays it’d be considered foolish to do that work by hand.
And I could manually relocate all the contents of a palette, too. Just not anywhere near as quickly and easily as I can with a forklift. The analogy is still apt.
I physically can’t refactor a codebase in 15 minutes.
And ever since I got a forklift my arm strength has gone down.
You didn’t read the article or choose whether to post it?
What, have a nuanced view? Impossible, must be a troll.
I was told we would always be able to tell.
Looks like China’s gone from being 6 months “behind” to more like 6 weeks “behind.”
Kind of pricey, but still the cheapest in its weight class. Could be they’re simply squeezing what profits they can out of it. I read that they’re planning to open the weights in August, at which point third parties will be able to compete based on whatever the actual cost of running it is.
