Is the LLM local hosting community big enough for Nvidia to release something equivalent to a 4070 but with 40-80 GB of VRAM? A small group of Microsoft Flight Simulator enthusiasts might also like such a GPU.

So many old polite people on the Internet are going to be accused of being AI chatbots.

I think there is a market for an Apple silicon competitor to the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. Apple has proven that performance doesn't have to come at the cost of battery life.

There is a whole segment of society that cannot watch a 12 minute video unless there is at least one offensive joke. They are the audience of every right-wing grift YouTuber and dirtbag leftist podcaster.

Everything else is "politically correct" according to this segment.

Maybe the quake caused the arching powerlines in the distance before the quake reached the location of the camera?

Energy harvesting makes more sense for ultra-low-power IoT sensors with a battery life of 2-3 years being extended to 5-10 years.

Does Datasette Cloud also run on Fly.io? How is Fly.io stability nowadays?

Resource extraction for batteries and EV will at its worst casue localized pollution. That is preferable to a high CO2 future that will make most of the global south.

Those are not games that fully utilize the PS5's NVMe-to-GPU asset loading tech. Things like actually flying over a giant open world map without merely teleporting.

Nanite was/is optimized for "next gen consoles" like the PS5 which has now become the current gen consoles. Things like direct NVMe-to-GPU asset loading, bypassing both the CPU and OS, is still early beta tech on PC.

Al Gore strikes me as one of the many boring centrist politicians we have been electing here in Denmark for the past 60 years.

Obviously that means he has no chance in the US.

You are concern trolling. The negative effects of lithium mining and refining is completely trivial compared to the increasingly uninhabitable planet that more CO2 emissions will lead to.

These type of questions are not serious. This person already knows it's just a tiny fraction of what a non-EV vehicle will burn throughout its lifetime.

Just downvote, flag, and move on.

There is a lot of propaganda on TikTok about how lithium mining and refining is too polluting and only the clever Chinese know how to do it at scale without polluting.

>I suspect it’ll be Russia moving on old Soviet states.

Russia doesn't want to rebuild the Soviet Union. They want to rebuild the Russian Empire. The Baltic countries, Finland, and (all of) Ukraine were parts of the Russian Empire and are more likely to be invaded that ex-USSR states like Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Putin sees himself as Peter the Great and not a "dirty little Georgian peasant" like Stalin.

Tech workers in California are outliers. For most people in developed countries buying/investing real-estate is the only way to build wealth. Profits from real estate speculation is the only income that has low taxes here in Denmark.

Is there any proof that he is not just predicting a ton of different earh quakes and then deletes them when he is wrong?

I can't make GPT-4 generate a wrong answer for many of these.

What is the author doing wrong when using GPT-4?

I asked GPT-4 through both ChatGPT and the API and it responded correctly without any fiddling.

I keep seeing comments and posts on HN that significantly downplay GPT-4's capabilities. Are people actually using GPT-4 or are they using a 3rd party service that claims to be GPT-4?

I got:

>Sally has 3 brothers, and each of those brothers has 2 sisters. One of those sisters is Sally herself, and the other one is Sally's sister. So, Sally has 1 sister.

Fresh of the boat immigrants are not entitled to welfare in Europe. Taxation and electricity/gas bills tend to lower in the US.

Rent in Silicon Valley and NYC are definitely a lot higher than anywhere in Europe but those are not the only places with tech jobs.

>low-paid

The minimum annual salary for an H1B worker is $60,000. That is higher than what tech workers get paid in most of Europe.

In the .Net/C# world library users just expect that the library has implemented both DoThings() and DoThingsAsync(). However that is easier said that done because many of the foundational low-level IO APIs were implemented by Microsoft that first implemented IoMethod() and then implemented IoMethodAsync() when async/await became a thing in C#.

    "I've learned to live without objects, but the trait system is somewhat convoluted. There's one area of asset processing that really wants to be object oriented, and I have more duplicate code there than I like. I could probably rewrite it to use traits more, but it would take some bashing to make it fit the trait paradigm."

Can you expand on this? I come from the C# world and the Rust trait system feels expressive enough to implement the good parts of OOP.

It was trivial to make GPT-4 write erotic or violent stories using the API/Playground back in April and May but now they have neutered it too much. Obviously it was always neutered in the ChatGPT interface.

North Americans and Western Europeans are incredibly naive about how authoritarian states work.

All authoritarian states will end up having a caste sysem hierarchy. The upper caste have it just as good a people in the West and in modern times they will have unfiltered access to the Internet. They have zero reason to revolt because they have everything then need.

Snowden claimed in 2014 that the 2012 Internet shutdown in Syria was actually done by the NSA and not Assad. The totalitarian dictator apparently cared too much about the free flow of information to do such a thing.

https://time.com/3107684/snowden-nsa-syria-cybersecurity/

He didn't provide any proof for this and anyone who questioned Assad's dedication to a free and unfiltered Internet was apparently an NSA shill.

That was when the world should have learned that he had been turned by Russian intelligence.

>The character assassination of Snowden

Well nobody forced him to repeat Russian propaganda in late 2021 and early 2022 that "Russia was totally not going to invade".

Snowden was behaving like a Russian propagandist in late 2021 and early 2022. He was repeating Russian lies that they were totally not going to invade etc.

Look into the ESP32 chip. It's by a Chinese company and is used in almost all cheap IoT products.

Not just on the firmware level. Many cheap IoT products are based on the Chinese ESP32 SoC.
