Why almost ashamed, or why buy Hackers?

These are all personal freedom issues, though the right to hold guns can also interfere with others' freedom.
- Comment on Wake up, liberal 3 days ago:
Liberalism is a political philosophy that classically strifes for as much freedom for the invidual as possible without limiting other's freedoms, separation of church and state, small governments, and free markets without government interference. In theory it can both be left or right in politics, but in my experience they're globally more right leaning (probably due to the small government and free market ideas, which can ultimately lead to ladder pulling tendencies). It is only called leftism in the US because the conservatives are even more to the right, globally US liberals would be seen as right-wing with some exceptions.

I think we just don't understand each other here. At least, I'm lost at what belief I have to back up. But I'll wind back to the first reply I made, and remove any comparison of local models vs cloud, since I don't know how many people use the cloud models, and I don't know how many people use local models. So, here it goes:
Your reply is about people turning off their computers after using AI. Which they can and will do. Now, again, forget about the local models or online models. It's just people using AI and then turning off their computers, and you stated you didn't know people do this. I hereby state that people actually do that.
So, before someone goes back to why I dragged local and cloud models into this: (and trying to answer to what I think was implied in your original comment) I wrote about local models vs cloud computing, and that cloud computing doesn't stop being useful after one user is done with it. This may also be read as an indirect reply to the person you replied to, who stated people over estimate the energy usage of using AI vs doing it the other way.

I'm not going to do that, because I hate it when comments get edited in such a way that the whole context changes. However, to clarify: to your reply "I didn't realize people shut off their computers after having AI do something they might not have otherwise done anyway" I answered that yes, people actually do that. If they run a local model, the model also shuts down. If they don't run a local model, they can still shut down their computer and the next user can use ChatGPT or whatever online model they use.

- I never claimed that computer usage goes down thanks to AI, and honestly I don't see how that could be interpreted from my comment.
- I never implied offline models are the norm anymore than you implied ChatGPT sits idle once a user logs off.

They do actually. And for the people not running local models, the idea of cloud computing is that once you're done with it, someone else takes over. If you're talking about the necessity of it all, sure, but we're also not exactly advancing the human race by being on Lemmy are we?

- Comment on The town and HOA only have two settings for a holiday: Jesus and Troops. I guess Labor days is a "Troops" holiday. 2 weeks ago:
The Netherlands has them, if a building has multiple apartments there usually is a HOA. I think it used to be a lot like in the US where some bored pensioner decides to ruin everyone else's day, but these days they are more and more run by corporations.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands I filled up my Hyundai Tucson for € 98.00 just yesterday. It wasn't even empty.

I get what you're saying, and I kind of agree, but to be honest, I've had this happen so many times that I'll first look where something is posted, if it's (for instance, there are more) asklemmy I'll just not reply at all.

True, there's always a risk that you don't wake up from full sedation. For most surgery you'll also be out of the hospital quicker if you take the epidural.

You know, that is actually a good wish. Helps other people, and not selfish like most wishes. Also a lot more tangible than "world peace".

There is not a comment in this thread worthy of a shitpost, just lots of boasting how great Linux is. The Linux users don't even get the irony of this. But, you're technically correct.
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 3 months ago:
Because bosses always want to make more money than the people they're bossing. But, also because leadership is responsible, I (engineer) wouldn't want to take the responsibilities of my boss for the same pay.

This reasoning also means you're old enough to be a parent. Technically correct, and it happens I guess.
