Tell me you don’t know how the technology works without telling me. The “good” models are huge. They make servers larger than your local town centre run on full load for every query. There’s no throttle to hold them back, as that doesn’t help. It’ll always be full speed ahead. And the results are based on probability, with a factor of bullshit baked in as part of the design. Yes, computers become more efficient over time, but that doesn’t help when you keep pushing them to go full speed all the time. The thirstiest CPU in the original Pentium family used to consume 17.3 Watts at full speed. Today, the Intel Xeon w9-3595X slurps 462 Watts given the chance. The Nvidia B200 datacenter GPU has a TDP of 1000 Watts. And data centers have thousands of these running, full speed, for LLMs to serve us hallucinated “facts”.

Shoot, you’re correct. My bad!
- Comment on What is the difference between http and HTTPS ? 4 days ago:
The ‘S’ stands for “Secure”. HTTPS is encrypted with TLS or, nowadays, SSL which means a third party can’t intercept and read your transferred data.

Their version of “English” is most likely not the same as yours nor mine if they’ve made up 28% of it all by themselves.
Or they’re delusional and consumed more TV and music than they’d like to admit.

The image is roughly 10 years old and Annie got her fair share of shit for the saying. Don’t worry, you’re welcome here.

What rounding algorithm was used? I have a hard time coming up with values or methods to be more than a single unit off.
