Let’s say, it’s extremely unfair to the new generations. They bear crushing social benefits for a majority of old people and are outvoted by the same old people. Until population stops reducing, or social benefits are severely reformed. The

It has become so tribal lately, do you even have to care about this? Just scream loudly, ragebait 24/7 and you’re good.

I think you’re missing the point, you’re assuming this brief moment will stop. Why would population stop declining?

I think the point is, birth control usage is dependent on education rather than how hard it is to get. And maybe it is easy to get in India, I have no idea.

Nothing, compared to the pace at which wealth is being concentrated into the hands of a few.

Depends on your definition of a bad message. A lie can be very palatable.

So your are saying money has no influence on politics? Really?
98.
by illiac786 4mo ago
Money is being created. Land and other resources are not, hence they end up being concentrated in the hands of the super rich.

Wealth inequality leads to lots and lots of power concentrated in a few people. That’s the problem. It’s a money aristocratic system, and that’s really bad for anyone not belonging to the aristocracy. And if they continue on this path, we m

I don’t understand your calculation, can you elaborate? At 25USD/Mtk output, assuming your 20tk/s, I generated/saved (minus power costs) ~15k$ in a year. Granted, it won’t run 24/7, but over a couple of years, this is de

Higher performance, I agree, but cheaper? I didn’t check how much this costs, but if you use AI locally a lot, it’s going to be amortised pretty quickly. Burning 100$ a month on tokens has become insanely easy. I remember when it was unimag

Better than having nothing at all. Better than multiple other countries even, I’d argue. I also have multiple nationalities and the way the world is moving, I am almost obsessively making sure everything is up to date. You really never know

> HW encoders produce bad results at low bitrate. Is that poor implementation or is it inherently harder to implement in hw encoders?

256GB is what deepseek v4 flash with Q4 requires I believe. It is really still very far from “running locally on your device”. And it’s getting further away every day, looking at how the electronic market prices are surging. I need to find

I believe AI-for-everything will become unsustainable financially for many and I’m genuinely curious to see how people deal with it. When to use it? When is it wasteful? My big hypothesis is that tokens are going to get much more expensive.

I can see a certain category of people screaming that WhatsApp calls are broken if that were to pass… but I do agree that no one would scream louder than app makers wanting to retain their share of human brain attention.

I agree, I meant the first amendment ain’t working like it should. It’s more or a “I can talk trash about whoever I want unless they have powerful lawyers” rule of thumb nowadays.

Yeah, it’s working out pretty well.

ouch. That’s indeed a problem.

I admire your quality and I envy it, but I have to say, finesse, even if I could, is not something I would have time for, at least not for professional emails. And I stopped writing personal emails years ago now…

True. But you can pick any code base with 20 years of existence, what I said applies.

by illiac786 5mo ago
How does that work in practice though? There’s a central “RAM Oversight Council” that checks that no one sells too much?

I think we’re not talking about the same scenario. I’m talking about the case where at least one hash has already been calculated.

How much of the windows code has been written by its current maintainers? Little. I feel this argument is not valid, especially for large code bases. Documentation and code quality is what is important, not who wrote the code.

Let’s say, for the positive case, hash comparison is significantly faster.

“The reproducibility is cryptographically verifiable with hashes“ would be the full sentence, but it’s a mouthful.

That made me laugh actually. What a good way of wasting taxpayers money and make people laugh at the same time. More seriously: Why?

I think the problem is the irreversible aspect of this. Once they leave they will never join back. I’d love to see stats on countries merging vs splitting, may sumptuous is 1 to 50 at least.

but, to cluster this traffic, wouldn’t you need equipment between each and every mullvad exit node and each and every server the user access? Or at least a large proportion of it? Are you talking about a surveillance state?
