Lol clearly a joke

Watts per hour is not a unit of energy or power, do you mean watt-hours? Neither of those numbers seems right if so. And the amount of energy consumed by a prompt will vary wildly based on the size of the model, your hardware, what your prompt is, etc. My point is that, with 2 identical prompts on 2 identical models, one done in a specialized datacenter and one done at home, the one at home will probably use more power because it’s less efficient. Therefore, if we are concerned with how much power AI datacenters are using, switching from datacenters to home computing is clearly not a solution.

Different by one decimal place.

Hang on those aren’t even equivalent units. Equivalent to running your microwave for how long?
- Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 5 weeks ago:
Local AI probably uses more CO2 per prompt than datacenter, unless you’re running off your own solar panels or something

Bro where do you even get all of these weird diagrams
- Comment on Anon goes home 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I noticed in my late 20s that the world has changed from my childhood. All my childhood sports heroes have retired. New music genres have replaced what I heard on the radio. A lot of my old haunts are still there, but some have been knocked down and replaced. It’s an… unsettling feeling when you realize the ground is moving beneath your feet. The best thing you can do is to keep moving yourself (figuratively, not literally). Explore new places, make new hobbies. Fill up your time with new experiences and you won’t have as much of a sense of loss.

The surreal days for me are the ones where it’s not really that cold but it’s so humid you can still see your breath

I mean I haven’t browsed through his post history but this thread he says he is a Christian who hates trump so I would guess the former.

You sir are a rare breed, I think the first actual conservative I have ever seen on Lemmy. I’m sure we disagree on most things but thanks for adding some diversity of opinion in a respectful manner.
- Comment on Tinder’s mandatory facial recognition check comes to the US 2 months ago:
I mean you’re ALREADY giving them your name, photo, address, age, and a bunch of private romantic chats. If you trust Tinder enough for that I don’t see what difference a video of your face makes.

A lot of jumping to conclusions with very little evidence in this thread.

That movie was extremely cathartic to watch

I’ve been in one car accident in my life (my fault) and it shook me up, I remember searching “how long until self driving cars.” But I got over it, next day I was back behind the wheel. As other people have said, it’s a necessary life skill for most people in North America and it does get much easier with experience and time.

I get that in a perfect society you shouldn’t need to learn to drive, but that ignores the fact that if you want to be able to function in society most people in NA need to be able to drive (unless you live in one of the handful of cities with excellent mass transit). It’s a bit like saying nobody should be forced to work for a living and then being homeless.

Can you actually get a degree in rocket science? I feel like the closest would be aerospace engineering.

Look I don’t like Musk either but even starting off wealthy becoming the richest man in the world takes some doing. He was way ahead of the curve on reusable rockets and EVs and succeed there where a bunch of people failed. I think where he fails is when it comes to protecting his image and maintaining relationships. He’s a thin-skinned narcissist who thinks he’s humanity’s savoir and eventually that got to him.

Yeah from what I’ve heard that feeling never goes away. I remember someone who quit smoking telling me how good secondhand smoke smells.

Basically why I am extremely hesitant to try most drugs. Either I don’t like it, or I DO like and and want to keep trying it… either way the odds of it being a good thing for me long term are pretty sketchy.

Yeah I found that to be pretty annoying as well when I started. I don’t mind the occasional political post but it’s the same handful of talking points again and again so it gets old fast. I recommend just blocking users and blocking communities; you’d be surprised how quickly that clears them out. Lemmy is small enough that once you block a dozen or two people that post politics nonstop you give the other content room to breathe.

Chimps are NOT stronger than humans, that is a common misconception. I posted a source for that somewhere else in this thread. Pound for pound they are stronger yes, but they are also significantly smaller than humans which more than balances it out. Attaching tendons differently isn’t a magic hack to increase strength; you could maybe increase torque but at the expense of travel distance of the affected joint (or vice versa).
