It’s not uniquely American. Estonian men are the same. Despite the free healthcare. The saying goes (and I’ll try to translate the Russian swears to English words to keep the meaning intact, but they’ll lose their colorfulness): The Estonian man never visits the doctor because he only knows two diseases: “whatever” and “quite fucked”. Whatever passes on its own and there’s no cure for quite fucked, anyway,

Yeah, but LLM innovation now is not in more clever architectures, but rather larger and larger models with more training data.
I don’t hate the existence of LLMs but rather how they’re being shoehorned everywhere and how much power is being spent for just a little bit better results.

It’s not a credit card, but I use Revolut and they have temporary virtual debit cards on their free plan even. They work a single time per generated card only. Great also if you want a 1 month subscription of something and don’t trust yourself to cancel it.

Those things are being solved by other forms of AI, not LLMs. AlphaFold is about the most useful thing AI has done so far and it’s not a chatbot.
We get access to entertainment AI, but there could be different forms of AI in use in medical science that have nothing to do with image or text generation.

To be clear, do you stay in the sauna the entire time? Because around these parts it’s common to get in, splash some water every now and then (“leil” in Estonian or “löyly” in Finnish) and then get out after like 5 min to take an ice bath. At 100+ you probably skip the water.
I bet if you stay like 15+ minutes at once it’s way worse for you because your internals have more time to heat up.

Huh why do they have 105C saunas in spas then?

Has it been proven in court already? I mean we all know it, but calling her what she is before she’s convicted could result in a defamation lawsuit.

Long term it’s a good thing. Medium term it means you’d be an idiot to install solar, unfortunately.
I’m not familiar with the Cali system, but if it’s day-ahead pricing then it’d be similar to Nordpool.

Apollo and Voyager for me so I straight-up retained the same UI.

Free electricity is cool unless you produce solar. Everyone who does will be paying to produce electricity because of the grid fees lol
Luckily I do not produce solar. Wanted to install, but lately I’ve been thinking… With how NordPool works, the more common solar becomes, the less attractive it’ll be because there’ll be more and more periods where you have to PAY to produce electricity. Or disconnect your panels from the grid every time that happens? AKA whenever solar is the most effective…
- Comment on As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act 1 week ago:
You’re right about the general idea, but I think you’re even underestimating the scale here.
I don’t think these servers will be doing much on CPU, they’ll be on GPUs. HPE will sell you a 48 rack unit behemoth with 36 Blackwell GB200s for a total of 72 GPUs and 36 CPUs. The CPUs are actually negligible here, but each of the 36 units use a total of 2700 watts (single GPU itself is supposedly 1200 watts so that would make the CPU 300 watts?)
36 * 2.7 = 97.2 kilowatts. You put just a hundred of these in a data center and you’re talking over 10 megawatts once cooling and everything is factored in. So this is what, 100k m^2 of solar panels for 100 racks?
You’d want them to be running most of the time too, idle hardware is just a depreciating asset. Say they run 75% of the time. 0.75 * 10 * 24 * 365 = 65700 MWh which I will not even convert to gigawatt hours to simplify this: The average American household uses about ~11 MWh of electrical energy per year. A single AI-focused data center without even all that many racks uses as much power as ~6000 households. They’re building them all over the country, and in reality I think they’re actually way bigger than what I mentioned.

Interestingly enough, not really happening in my country. You’re sorta expected to get the mandatory reading books from a library in school… And later on in university, it’s a place to hang out and study together.
Maybe adults outside of academia don’t use them much (I don’t), but I think people generally see the value in them.
