It seams like the US isn’t interested in winning wars, they just like starting them and then extending them for as long as possible.

People still drive but only because we have no choice most of the time. In a lot of places particularly the US and Australia it’s impossible to participate in society without owning a car or people thinking there is something wrong with you.

There is an issue with that, if the starlink saterlites were destroyed they would no longer be able to make avoidance menovers. This could very quickly lead to a cascade of massive crashes that pretty much means we will never be able to leave the earth for a long time.

Yep people here hate windows. We hate cars, for reasons aside from spying as well they just generally suck.

Please! I have had enough of reaching having to press several buttons on the screen just to adjust the ac.

Wouldn’t china be heading for a similar bubble pop like the US with there huge investment into ai?

Or perhaps they have actually found a large enough market to cover the cost of development.

I went on a shinkansen recently. It was really cool.

dang I never thought of that. I always assumed silicon was basicly the end, except for quantum computers which aren’t very useful for most computing.

“This allows electrons to flow with almost no resistance, like water through a smooth pipe,” Peng explained.

Um actually even smooth water pipes have a lot of tubulance since all materials aren’t perfectly smooth so the edges of the pipe have a lot of turbulance which dramatically slows down the water from the theoretical maximum.

Oh the poor 1% what will they do…

That made me wonder what os china uses. Turns out they use a chinese made linux distro called kylin for most consumer desktops and 90% of govenment desktops https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kylin_(operating_system)

Fucking based.

Unfortunately its propriotary ): (pretty sure that violates the gpl but I guess china doent care.) (Although there is an open source version called neokylin!)

I think the liberal party also made the proposal for nuclear energy really bad on purpose in order to avoid it actually having a measurable impact in reducing fossil fuel emissions in the forceable future.

Interesting. I think it must be just Australia that would have to pay a lot for nuclear energy. I guess other countries have ways of producing it more cheaply.

besides that wind and solar will be the only option soon enough once we run out of uranium and other radioactive reserves. Unless fusion catches up.

Cost still matters, especially if renewable energy is cheaper and has the same emissions.

I am not supporting capitalism by saying that cost still matters. If socialist states didn’t care about cost when building stuff they would have all dissolved long ago.

Anyway I very well may be wrong that nuclear is expensive. It is likely just expensive in Australia which is where I live and were I have done my research on (Since Aussie maga has been pushing hard for nuclear energy recently)

My information is coming from Australia, where nuclear energy was heavily pushed by the fossil fuel industry (mainly because it would take like 30+ years for the first power plant to be in operation allowing them to expand coal and gas power plants in the meantime.) even though several reports where made debunking these claims and showing how horrible of an idea it would be to build nuclear energy for so many reasons including it’s incredibly high price tag (these same documents showed how renewable energy is generally the cheapest.)

Maybe this is only the case in Australia.

Why is nuclear power still so popular? I thought nuclear was the most expensive kind of energy when renewables were the cheapest.

Those in favour say its availability might slow China’s progress developing similar chips and keep Chinese companies dependent on US technology; those against say the H200 is, for example, powerful enough to be used in weapons systems that China’s military might one day deploy against the US or its allies.

The only reasons for and against selling the gpus to china is to stall there development.

Very cool!

Dang I was looking into them for an email domain, glad I didnt end up going with it.

I havnt read it but if there is a shortage of specifically memory modules arent the modules still going to cost a ton?

Well you can adjust the taskbar in Linux!

Yeah of course humans are waay smarter and have way more neurons than llm’s but yeah my point was that it could work in theory. I guess not with large language models though.

If humans are neural networks yet humans know when they don’t know and ai is also a neural network can’t they also have the ability to know when they are wrong? Maybe not llms specifically but there must be an ai system that could be made that knows when it is wrong.

I’m happy with my fridge that just fridges stuff.

What’s Bing doing above Wikipedia?

Halo or doom or half life. All of these games pioneered different game styles in the fps medium.

Yeah ofc Lol.

But now windows takes longer to boot and is too slow because ms office is always running in the background. +1 for reasons to use linux.

It’s not really a battery killer at all. It would never fit or be useful in a car, phone or anything portable. It’s more of a possible replacement to pumped-storage hydroelectric.

Yeah always look for where a service gets its money from before you get anything.

Maybe start at the trustpilot reviews.

Yeah I deleted honey a while ago just because it was owned by PayPal and it probably sells all your data. Just one extra reason to add to the pile.

The idea of honey is good though any possibilities of an open source version?

Apples existence should face criminal charges for sucking too much.

What do you mean that’s debatable? Robotaxis are a service just like normal taxis and ubers and everything else you rent.

I’m not entirely sure if services like robotaxi are ultimately good or bad. I think it greatly depends on how they are deployed and regulated.

If they governments don’t force company’s to ensure they make constant improvements and innovation as well as making them cheaper then I think there could be a serious problem when non driverless vehicles are outlawed, making robotaxis the only viable way to get around in car dependant places, companies like waymo will enshitify the hell out of robotaxis making them way too expensive and just barely safer than normal cars in order to rake in the profits as much as possible. I feel like this is a concern in the US especially due to there idea of a “free market” with very little regulation.

On the other hand if companies are forced by regulation to constantly make cars safer and not cost too much then I guess robotaxis could be improve road safety, congestion and a few other problems but by no means fix them.
