Deep geothermal isn't practical as it seems due to the small conductivity of heat for rocks that are cooled off to produce steam.

The trouble isn't renting those GPUs but it was finding that number of GPUs closely connected to each other for the duration of the training process.

The founder said that this is not quite as possible with most public clouds and that it is easier to buy the GPUs.

Entry level tasks of yesteryear != entry level task of today.

Policing is only one part of the equation and I doubt that violent gangs can be broken up without resorting to tough measures. The trick is that this needs to be combined with social policies to disincentivize repeat offenders and to prevent youths from starting at all by having ample economic opportunities.And there are other measures like decriminalizing drugs which can reduce the economic profit of crime.

> Sounds like they are taking steps to make sure whoever was chosen for layoffs were not chosen for racist reasons.

Doing so is illegal and makes little sense to put it in a public announcement. Might as well state that they don't intend to murder anyone.

This is my experience even in some of the poorer parts of Europe. You describe stolen items or provide photos of them and the police usually have a rough idea of who might have stolen it or have recently arrested someone in possession of your items.

What are the health impacts of meat?

Also, unlike DALL-E, SD comes without a content filter and "anti-bias diversity" filter so it gives you what you ask and treats you as an adult.

The lack of filter is why CNN can only dream to have Rogan's viewership numbers.

Maybe we don't need to water down every piece of information and discussion that exists.

I don't mean to be depressing, but what is the point of life? Like an ultimate goal or something that you must achieve?

It doesn't seem to be a one, except for the ones that we set for ourselves, which is usually trying to live as better as possible for as long as you can. And this seems fine to me, thinking too much about this can get depressing unless you can be comfortable with the fact that whatever we do in life the end outcome is always death.

Try not to think about that too much, you can't change the past and you only have the present. Once you realize that you can start enjoying the present moment doing whatever you like and can.

If you start coding everyday now in a few years these worries will seem silly to you and you will have new worries to think about.

In the end it doesn't matter, whether you are the most productive person even or a drunk homeless outcast, your time will run out one day and you will be gone. If you can accept this you can free yourself of regrets.

As someone who believes in Darwinism I think this is good as it will only accelerate shifting any meaningful research into the labs of private multi-billion companies.

Will this be good for us, the public? Probably not but only the capable survive, and the current academia is not capable of survival.

Maybe my standards are too low but the fact that we don't have societal wide unrest, mass murders, famine, revolutions and the like that was pretty common just 100 years ago is good enough to provide for an environment where scientific and technological progress can happen.

The second issue is why I think we won't see our societies self led until we have technology that can prevent tirany of the majority. This has been an issue with democracy as long as it has existed, Socrates is one of the victims of this system. Because what is to prevent 66% of the population voting that you be publicly dismembered? This would be perfectly democratic.

And if you think this is some unreasonable edge case you must remember that humans are beings guided by emotion as much as reason, the whole COVID panic and hysteria that happened just two years ago has enough examples that emotion will trump reason even in situations that aren't even that dire.

My hopes for the future are the same.

However, until we get there, the current system is quite good at maintaining a stable society with increasing gains in technological development and social welfare. It is far from perfect or ideal, and it is full of lies, but until we have something better that is tangible and real, and not just theoretical, I wouldn't touch it.

Are our societies ready for a real democracy, that is a direct vote on all issues type of self-governing rule where anything can be put up to a vote including votes for execution of members of the society?

Or did you mean something else?

Cool, thanks for pointing this out :).

Any source for this claim of unsustainability of current food production?

Highly processed is almost always synonymous with the types of food that are considered bad for your health.

From WP [0]: "he term ultra-processing refers to the processing of industrial ingredients derived from foods, for example by extruding, moulding, re-shaping, hydrogenation, and hydrolysis. Ultra-processed foods generally also include additives such as preservatives, sweeteners, sensory enhancers, colourants, flavours, and processing aids, but little or no whole food."

Spinning up a process takes some time, adds up across many requests.

Funny how FKK is also synonymous with brothels in Austrian and Germany.

Also, this article have me a flashback of when I was very young and in Dubrovnik, passing by a nudist beach and seeing naked people all around. Was a shock at that age.

You can always accept the risk, even if you can't mitigate or avoid it you can live with it.

Why do you assume that people who are willing to drive for 8 days with around 8 hours of sleep, supported by teams are not aware that there might be some risk involved with driving a bicycle?

Rider is free for students and that is how I started using it.

Also, VS Code with OmniSharp isn't that bad for smaller projects for development and is pretty good for debugging for apps of all sizes (my 2 year experience with it).

So to claim that you cannot debug C# on Linux for free is false.

I use Rider on my Ubuntu machine and the dev experience for me, is even better than using VS2022 on Windows.

If its dangerous only to drivers, and the drivers are aware of the dangers, why should it be banned?

Some people love spending their time doing stuff that is inherently dangerous, even if it means that they might not live as long as the rest of us. And why stop them, seems like hell to be forced to live a long but unfulfilling life. We all die in the end anyway.

I just add "forum" to my query and it returns results from all kinds of forum.

Currently NS1 is blocked under the excuse of repairs. Now that could be true, but it could also be a showcase from Russia of what it can inflict. So yeah, option 2 it is.

I share the sentiment regarding Russia's fascist regime but it seems much more realistic that the EU will just silently walk back on the embargoes. After all, if the populace gets too uneasy with higher energy bills the politicians won't have any issues dealing business with Russia.

And with the support for energy embargoes already falling to 32% in Germany[0] in mid July this seems like the most likely outcome.

Question is will Russia then attempt to hurt Europe by blocking gas deliveries like it is doing now with Nord Stream 1.

I wasn't referring to this movie in particular but just culture in general.

But that also applies to this movie if the creators ideology hasn't leaked into it. Haven't watched so can't say.

Of course the sanctions are hitting the pockets of the citizens of Russia, but that was not the point I was making.

I was saying that there are a lot of Russians not living in Russia, some of whom are currently the victims of the current war that the government of Russia started. So isolating these people, making them double victims is to me really dumb.

Culturally isolating Russians in Russia is also a dumb move as this is a goal of Putin as well.

I can't stop you from actively helping Putin, I can only point out that what you are doing is counter productive, if what you are doing is done out of ignorance :).
