Only worth paying if you actually need it though. And if it's a hobby, no you don't, that should be part of it, the fun is getting nocked out from orbit and figuring out how and why and how to avoid it. Stand back up again and you

Cost, experience and for the paranoid (right or not) control. The biggest downside is initial cost in time, effort and cash compared to typing in a credit card. Ok other downsides include lack of power redundancy and decent networking which

Right tool for the right job. Frankly the right tool is sometimes the one you have in front of you. But anyone who's seen disaster DIY videos or worse had a house full of said projects from previous owners knows, there are problems cau

Aka, more dunking on "the cloud". Now it's cool to be able to do so. How about we go back 20yr and train a generation of unix sysadmins and self host at companies and at home.

By that logic it's all "just linear maths". Back prop requires and limits to analytically differentiable in a normal way. Attention is... Oh dear comparing linear regression to attention is comparing a diesel jet engine to a

Since when did regression get upgraded to full blown ML?

80%+ at peace time. I.e. not with mandated farming practices and not with a national focus as part of priority to fix this. Unlike the Sudan we don't produce the remaining 15%+/-5 because we're a wealthy nation and can engage

No. That's comparing production means today with an inflated population due to uncontrolled migration. (Main confronting factor to pop growth in last few years so can't be avoided as topic). Comparing blockade numbers to peace ti

I've got a lovely bridge to sell you, only slightly used... Please educate yourself because that statement is just factually incorrect. That's not a talking point, that's just wrong.

there's absolutely no shortage in such a saturated market. Besides I'm referring to the british who just use the white plastic as a side for kormas, vindaloo or a rice pudding. Pretending this is economically viable is short sight

Have you been paying attention to the farming sector in the last 5yr? There's plenty of problems reminiscent of the 30s after the whole chain has been kicked around due to labour from Brexit, supply due to Brexit, access to markets fro

No they should really really be discussing things like this. This is like trying to claim bioethanol is somehow carbon negative. It's broken from a farming standpoint (and we're a nation starting to face issues with production. No

Ah rice that cheap crop that requires lots of farm land and without golden rice is leaving certain vitamins... Yes _that_ is the product you choose to grow. Not idk products popular amongst British customers...

"an actual jacket like myself"... That's _sigh_ you're doing the thing that you're ranting at the agency for doing. At best you'd be an experienced pen tester in the tech industry, which is still good. Don&#x27
