That feature speaks volumes about what's wrong with Linkedin. Nice touch.
Clicking the link with a prejudice in my mind, I found the definitions cleverly clean and easy to understand. I would be pleased to see a German version of it, just to have a good laugh.
Ok, it can create a long-lived complex codebase for a product that is extensible and scalable over the long term, but it doesn't have cool tattoos and can't fancy a matcha
Mubi can be a slightly cheaper alternative. They now provide one movie-theater ticket per week in some countries, which is a good deal if you enjoy watching films on a slightly bigger screen with slightly louder speakers.
Without knowing the cumulative amount of energy consumption it is not a fair comparison. If there are one billion llm sessions every day, it is still a lot of energy.
No, not really. A billion people (15% of the population) drive more than a mile a day. Well over 100 million laptops are sold every year. These are easy numbers to look up.
Just look at your own life and see how much of each you would use.
I think the point is that we all need to use less energy, we need to avoid flights from LA to Tokyo where possible, not using the energy use as an excuse to use even more energy.
If you want to meaningfully cut your energy usage, you need to identify its biggest sinks. 8 Wh per day is about as much as an idle charger you don't bother to remove from the outlet. I've yet to hear about anyone evaporating lakes with a charger, yet we almost all leave them plugged it.
It would be better to not use this energy, but it won't move the needle either way.
We need cheaper and cleaner forms of energy. More efficient uses of energy.
I do not agree that we "all" need to use less energy overall. Energy use tracks wealth pretty closely, and manufacturing/creating things tends to be energy intensive.
The more cheap clean energy we make available, the more novel uses will be found for it.
> We need cheaper and cleaner forms of energy. More efficient uses of energy.
Yep that's the dream, but it's not what I have coming out of my wall right now.
> Energy use tracks wealth pretty closely,
I'm guessing the majority of users on this site are in the 1% globally so it seems reasonable to consider what's produced/manufactured for us and what services like these that we're using
> The more cheap clean energy we make available, the more novel uses will be found for it.
That will be a brilliant future but it's not the reality today.
Yes quoting energy use per query isn't the full picture, though it is still a useful benchmark for understanding the relative impact of one's use as an individual. As for cumulative impact, the ieee article gives an estimate of 347 TWh per year by 2030, which is still a very small fraction of global energy consumption today.
But of course there is. Imagine the following compression scheme:
0-253: output the input byte
254 followed by 0: output 254
254 followed by 1: output 255
255: output 10GB of zeroes
Of course this is an artificial example, but theoretically it's perfectly sound. In fact, I think you could get there with static huffman trees supported by some formats, including gzip.
What you suggest is saving the information somewhere else and putting a number to represent it. That is not compression, that is mapping. By using this logic, one can argue that one bit is enough as well.
Switching to an alternative on Android, like GrapheneOS or CalyxOS, can help you regain some of the privacy you've lost. If you are an Apple user, good luck.
It is beneficial for your kids to have the opportunity to make mistakes with the small amount of money they receive. These lessons learned will save them from future troubles. 50 bucks may not be much, but it’s enough to keep it real.
Are there any privacy-friendly wearables in the fitness tech scene? It seems like most wearable gadgets send data to remote servers, whenever possible.
Most Garmin watches _can_ work without connecting to your phone and the app. It just stores the files locally on the watch and you can just connect it to your PC and read the files.
What sensor would you recommend? I have tried Apple Watch and i really only care about the heart rate. But it doesn't poll the heart rate constantly unless in exercise mode. I wish I could just constantly track the heart rate every second.
