I did already mention both of those: re. bandwidth, I can't imagine LLMs use that much of it? It's just text - absolutely peanuts compared to something like Netflix. That said, of course, there are multimodal models. Constructio

ACME is cool (compared to what came before it), but I'm kind of sad that EV certs never seemed to pan out at all. I feel like they're a neat concept, and had the potential to mitigate a lot of scams or phishing websites in an idea

I've always wondered why data centers aren't taking off more in places like Iceland (cheap geothermal) or Quebec (cheap hydro). Both of these places are also pretty cold and one would think this benefits cooling. There are periodi

It's interesting to me that this is so common. I feel exactly the opposite way, as if KDE is the only one that feels modern and good-looking. Not saying you're wrong, just that it's interesting how much perspectives differ

Thule/Pituffik is why the whole "buying Greenland" thing never made sense to me, no matter how you try to look at it or steelman it... Before they were threatened with being purchased and invaded, Greenland and Denmark were o

I'm in the same boat. I'd also love to be wrong. It feels like we forget quickly that we already have nuclear power around. And yet fission constantly suffers due to economics issues, stemming from needing to build massive plant

This gets thrown around a bunch, but it always seemed like kind of an odd complaint to me? They're not actually pushing the DDoS traffic itself through cloudflare's network, or operating the botnet through it, are they? My assumpt

Hm, you're right, I'd agree that access can be more controlled and filtered today than before. But how many websites/parents/devices actually enforce it? And also, what I was trying to get at is that the total amount o

I never really understood the "with delivery in Cushing, Oklahoma" thing, and the Delivery section on page 3 doesn't make it too much clearer. Surely there are people trading in these contracts that... don't want their o

Yeah, this has been confusing me a bit. I'm not complaining by ANY means, but why does it suddenly feel like everyone cares about data privacy in LLM contexts, way more than previous attitudes to allowing data to sit on a bunch of rand

Is it a fallacy though? It doesn't make sense to buy a new EV if you still have a gas car that's working fine. In the same vein, I wouldn't want to throw out my gas furnace or water heater to replace with electric, creating w

It's interesting that so many of the replies (and the general sentiment I've seen) mention PIO. And I'd agree, it is a really nice system. Seems they really hit a home run with that idea!

This is surprising to me, but I also wonder how contractors factor into the equation. To naively soapbox for a second, I don't know much about public policy, but I have a persistent hunch that a lot of the "government inefficiency
