Because a billion people can share the file at once. It's tough math to do, but I can't believe transporting physical media all over the world is really better.

No, store it on your computer/phone/iPod. But honestly data centers are probably very efficient for this. I'm not going to do the math, but storing data on flash and serving it to billions of people probably is efficient if I

I've always thought that the hippie environmental types wanting data (music) stored as plastic was ironic. "I prefer my music to be made of petrochemicals and trees, the way it ought to be." I get it, but I still think it

Ok let's make math illegal and burn down the data centers I guess. Idk what to tell you, but we will adapt and new roles will be created. Just like every single tool and piece of tech that came before. LLM manager? Fine.

Are you a cutting edge research scientist or something? Everyone I know works in the same domain every day. The problems are the same. People aren't solving brand new problems to humanity every day. We make budgets and look at ticket c

Lots of proposals to build them near Lake Michigan recently but the residents of Wisconsin only want auto parts stores and paper mills. They've been completely demonized. Cities and counties are passing no data center laws even though

Holy shit, I didn't know that. Circa 2004 I was in college and took a C++ class. I spent an entire week trying to get my final project working and couldn't for the life of me figure out what was wrong. It was only a few hundred li

I haven't updated mine. I have a firewall and it's not exposed to the Internet. Need a key to SSH in. Same with my public facing server. Almost none of these exploits are "drop everything now and patch" unless you are so

It's not a struggle for me to walk 15 miles to work every day, I could easily do it. It's just makes no sense when I have a car.

I mean, they hire me for a reason, whatever that may be. I want to do a good job and carry out the task because I want to get hired again by them or whatever agency is pimping me out. I've seen a lot of shit and that's my value. W

It's 100% denial/ego. I've been a contractor longer than I'd like and it's the exact same response I see when I join a new team. The team complains they have too much work and can't get anything done, so their

The plans are for Lake Michigan adjacent cities. It's a complete non issue and probably the best place in the country to build them.

None of those things require an always on token burner. I'm not trying to be rude, but do you think that's the only way to present relevant information to an LLM or something? It's literally the least efficient way to do it.

Why? We have 27 quadrillion gallons in lake michigan alone. You could pump millions of gallons a day out and if it just stopped raining it would take 3 million years to drain it. Stop listening to Charlie Berens.

Thinking that you can hide from it is absurd. Your country has been spying on you for decades. The Internet and phones are tapped. That game is so so so over and has been for a long time. I'd rather live free and deal with the conseque

I've played with them plenty and they're not even close as far as speed or intelligence. It's like comparing a bike to an MRAP.
