Nearly all of those can run just fine on-device. I think the part of the bubble that’s ripe to burst is the gigantic gigawatt data centers; we don’t even have the power to run them if all the ones under construction were completed. The current trajectory is not sustainable, and the more contact it has with reality the harder that will be to ignore.

This is the way.

I write my papers in markdown. Simple to write, easy to paste into Discord or Lemmy, and you can use pandoc to instantly turn it into any format you like.

Tl;Dr: he cut a phone in half and gave it a keyboard.

Yeah, I still feel like that year is when things really went off the rails in the US. I lost a lot of friends and family to the cult, and I’m starting to think they’re never coming back. A chasm has formed in America and it’s only getting wider.

No, there’s boxers with pockets at the store. Hanes makes some.

They exist, I’ve seen them at the store. Here’s a picture:

And if it’s SQLite (which I believe is the default) it’s really just reading and writing a file on the file system.

The most recent news I could find was from yesterday, Hamas killed a few Israeli soldiers with mortar fire in Al-Zaytoun.

Right, that is what I was trying to say.

Are there not two sides fighting? Israel vs Hamas; neither side has surrendered.

But this gravel is free.

I’m not sure I agree. There’s efficiency gains to be had in the tech, but I think it’s better not to count your chickens before they hatch. In arid climates where trees struggle to grow it makes sense to deploy carbon capture tech, but I think there’s a also a profit motive that muddies the best practices. Nobody gets rich by replanting forests and leaving them alone, but there’s a lot of money to be made in these power hungry facilities.

At the core trees are just a more advanced technology in many ways. They have biological processes that don’t only remove the carbon but build it into useful timber; plus they’re entirely solar powered by default.

There’s also the potential to combine high tech solutions with our existing flora, either through genetic modification or specialized sensor based agriculture. Something isn’t low tech or backwards just because it involves plants, they’ve been scrubbing carbon for millions of years and are valuable tools.

But planting trees doesn’t provide transportation or electricity, it does pull CO2 directly from the atmosphere though. In this case you can compare the capture technology to trees planted on the same area of land and see which one is better land use for the same purpose.

I think it’s all made up. The most power hungry data center in the world consumes 150MW of power, and that’s from a massive 11 million square foot facility in China that’s significantly larger than any other data center.

EDIT: an hour of heavy thinking does consume approximately 12 watt hours though, so that figure seems reasonable.

I love LibreOffice, but I wish there was an Android app. I’ve even considered learning more app development to try and help, but it’s such a daunting task.

I’ve been writing all my college papers in LaTeX and it’s been great. They look so professional, and it’s easier to work on a collection of text files than one monolithic document.

People say this, but almost every time the time interval is left off it’s hours.

Either way, the numbers in this meme are clearly made up. Most image generation uses fewer than 10 watt hours.

So like the size of a horse?

The average horse is about half the height and weight of the average giraffe. Giraffes are just a really bad unit of measurement, males weight about 400kg more than females and there is a wide height difference over their global population, they are technically four different species we just all call giraffe 🦒

And the coast guard was there too.
