I assume Vietnam has a nationally connected power grid. Nationally, it has a power mix of 25% hydro and 53% coal.

How does anyone justify buying energy-intensive smart toys (like phones), manufactured in places that burn huge amounts of coal to do so?

Wonder how the solar panel factories will get power. Wind turbines?

What software are you using for local NN generation of paintings? Even so, the training cost of that NN is significant. The general point is valid though - for example, a computer is much more efficient at finding primes, or encrypting data

Fair enough. OTOH, generating human-like text responses is a relatively small part of the human brain's skillset.

You tell me. Not in the trillion links of a LLM, that's for sure.

by dsalfdslfdsa 2y ago
I don't think we can say that, either. After all, the brain is able to perform both processing and storage with its neurons. The quotes about LLMs are talking only about connections between data items stored elsewhere.

"Efficient" and "better" are very different descriptors of a learning algorithm. The human brain does what it does using about 20W. LLM power usage is somewhat unfavourable compared to that.

Honestly, that sounds fantastic.

I would hate the idea that my primary purpose is to get pulled into random meetings: > Instead of having a manager and a list of tasks, I was asked to sit in on meetings and add value to projects aligned with my interests or expertise. D

The cable pairs within an ethernet cable have different twist rates, to reduce crosstalk.

If you need Stack Overflow pages for your language of choice, then that language is already enshittified.

What happened to Tesla inevitably smashing "legacy auto manufacturers"? Maybe the only inevitable thing is that manufacturers with the ear (or blessing) of goverments will ultimately succeed.

Assuming you have the thinnest tips, solder, and solder braid you can find (they shold be comparable to the pad sizes you are soldering, for this kind of work), honestly it's probably a skill issue. There's a "feel" for

I'm not sure why "too much" solder paste is needed to make this work. I've done something similar on quite a few occasions, but using regular solder. Just put a slightly generous amount on each pad, but not enough to cre

Exactly. It's possible to build an incredibly reliable mechanical system, and all-too-possible to build a very unreliable system with no moving parts and lots of software (and network connectivity).
47.
by dsalfdslfdsa 2y ago
Right, so reliability is mostly unrelated to the percieved mechanical or physical complexity.
48.
by dsalfdslfdsa 2y ago
That really depends on your definition of complexity. After all, EV charging points have far fewer moving parts than a gas pump, yet we know how reliable they are.
