I hate reddit's up/down voting.

Good. Keep it that way.

It's not rocket science, that's for sure.

For now. Who is going to be the first company to pull it off though? I'd definitely subscribe to that - would love fresh produce parcels dropped off on my front steps or backyard by drone delivery. This has already been done with medical supplies before which is super cool.

If people want to share, they can copy-paste. This is a security risk.

Hook up drones to the farms. Allow anyone to obtain as much fresh produce as they need via drone delivery summoned from smartphone or computer.

Thank you very much my friend. Be blessed in all that you do. <3

Make it available as an open source platform and I’d want one.

We need to know exactly what software is running on it and what the hardware is, though. The user must have complete control over the hardware, software, and connectivity at all times.

Otherwise, do not get it. Not safe. Too risky.

It will all be alright. This is just an understandable and expected recalibration for the global economy after a global pandemic, global supply chain crunch, and the Ukraine-Russia war.

The United States and Europe are fundamentally rock solid and poised for considerable growth and innovation for a long time yet, along with their allies and friendly rivals.

Any recommended starting points for LORA training llama 30B on a specific niche? Books, tutorials, videos are all appreciated. Thanks for your time!

ChatGPT is amazing.

Yeah, but if the bulk of the world's population is slamming an api that's free...there's no more api or platform at that point, since it's not going to generate enough revenue anymore. Could take the entire platform with it if all of the available funds are going towards serving free api traffic.

For me it was reddit's api. That being said, they can't be expected to provide free or low-cost apis across the board forever...otherwise everyone's gonna just constantly use them to the detriment of the entire platform! There has to be a cost so that an equilibrium between demand and availability is attained.

Tbh, $100 a month for a hobby project or prototype is not the end of the world. Maybe they could add special student pricing for student hobbyists. Aren't they also still doing a free option that's reasonable for testing out the api?

Maybe we just wrap planet Earth in more tech so that it becomes a ship and we can steer the entire planet, maintaining a climate with tech. Risky, but once we have more planets settled we will be able to experiment with this.

The French regret their decisions on this front. It took a war for them to realize their huge mistake regarding energy independence.

Germany is repeating the same mistake because of pride. If there are still talks about needing to use fossil fuels to bridge the gap introduced by eliminating nuclear, then eliminating nuclear was clearly the wrong move. The reactors should be maintained, upgraded, and worked on so that there's a lot of employment and a lot of clean, independent energy.

They shouldn't be shutting down nuclear. Build more nuclear reactors. That will provide more clean energy and a lot of jobs. Modernize the grid. Make it a smarter grid that is more resilient to harm. These projects pay for themselves quickly and are easy to finance with how much wealth Germany has.

Your knowledge of these subjects is not only very weak, but comes across as dishonest as well. To the extent that if we had this exchange with our faces and reputations on the line, you'd be savaged by my words and look like a fool. I encourage you to be more humble and also to actually contest your own claims on your own in earnestness so that you can see if those claims are actually true or just edgy hot takes from some dishonest individuals you mingled with or learned from in the past.

The Bible is against slavery. See Philemon. Sinning until the last moment doesn't count unless it's a true heart change. See Ezekiel. Treating it as a Get Out Of Hell Free card would not fly.

I still think it should be fine to grow your own meat the traditional farming way. Humanity should never lose the knowledge and capability.

> This is where the story should probably have stopped. Given up and called it a day, right? Maybe, but I care about this data, and I happen to know a thing or two about computers.

Hahaha awwwww yeah :muscle:

It’s okay to learn about Jesus and the Bible on HN. It’s only one of N threads underneath the submission, after all, not to mention relevant to the parent. Definitely agreed that the best approach is to read the Bible and consult an expert in a real setting if possible.

That’s super cool.

It’s okay to want a reward or compensation for your work.

Jesus was an outcast because he told the truth including on the nature of the Jewish law. He didn’t speak against the Jewish law.

Vertical farms and clean lab-grown proteins are the key!

Unfortunately, this key spells doom for the global chicken population.

Ironically, the push to save the chickens will be what causes their population to plummet towards extinction outside of zoos and the odd house that retains some as pets.

Fair enough, it's a hard problem to work on indeed. But I would ask, why not raise investment then? Why is the solution a ban, when we have working prototypes that get better every month and that have done maiden voyages? The solution is larger investments and partnerships into more R&D on these crafts, not to shutter the prospect entirely...

> largely discretionary consumption choices that have workable and less-polluting substitutes

You don't get to decide what is discretionary consumption. No hall monitor will ever be elevated to such a role over this planet.

Do you actually want workable less-polluting solutions? Then be against this ban and for electric airplanes which will solve this problem very soon.

> large parts of the world already show significant impact from desertification.

If you got rid of all flights globally, this would not be changing as a result. There are also massive reforestation projects undergoing worldwide and those will continue to gain traction as more land frees up for reclamation by nature and park preserves.

> why should the sustainability transition be performed via centralized tyranny? If people stop spreading misinformation at the behest of vested interests and we develop reliable measures of environmental impacts a democratic society is perfectly capable to make the rational choices

They exaggerate the extent of climate woes in order to cement their own power and luxury. That's most of what it is. The real efforts against climate corruption are in renewables and clean transport. Progress is already at breakneck speed and still climbing on these fronts.

It's the same group of people who were insisting that we need to lockdown and drastically change every aspect of society because of the pandemic. Now mountains of evidence are emerging that not only were the lockdowns mostly unnecessary, they may have been actively harmful more than good.

A democratic society making these changes on its own without over-centralization is as simple a matter as people adhering to the United States Constitution and working together at the community level to build more solar, clean up roads, install EV charging stations, etc. That's already happening. So why is it necessary for France to top-down ban short-haul flights in the name of emissions when that action will hurt quality of life without moving the needle? It's because their motives are impure. Some of them are tyrants-in-waiting.

You're wrong. There are 9-seater craft that already had maiden voyages at the start of the year. Those will just increase in size and range. Progress in tech is moving very fast including in electric airplanes and France could accomplish it's claimed goals around emissions without bans.

It's blatantly clear who is seizing control and to what end. It's literally in the article headline and description. Some bureacrats are invoking a lie around carbon emissions to ground their population so that people can't fly anymore. Pretending otherwise or putting your head in the sand by pretending the onus is on someone else ain't it.

It's moreso that nobody is in a position to start dictating to someone else what they can or can't do on account of emissions. That would be a dystopia and a bunch of bureacrats citing "collective survival" to ban things and stunt everyone else while they recline in luxury. That is what history shows.

What does removing emissions devices on your personal vehicles have to do with whether or not someone wants to fly? Advocate for better devices and less invasive devices that do not add costs. That's a separate concern and subject from whether or not someone can fly.

All your argument would do is just justify The Next Ban with flimsy justifications.

Nah you don't get to decide if someone flies their craft purely for enjoyment. Doesn't matter if it "contributes" to global warming. It's not a needle mover at all and this is just about control. It's a slippery slope. I will not tolerate this slippery slope at all. These bureacrats will just have to be satisfied with enacting real meaningful changes where they matter - not on regulating people's free choice and free exercise and how easily and quickly they can move around their homeland via electric planes.

This is all one big slippery slope towards tyrants regulating every aspect of an individual's life in the name of carbon emissions. You don't get to decide what flights are a waste of fuel. You also don't get to evaluate and decide how someone else should spend their hard-earned money.

If there were no more flights at all, of any kind, that would represent 4% of emissions. That's for the entire planet's worth of flights. This change here won't make any difference at all to emissions, but they'll definitely empower bureacrats who are salivating at every prospect of making themselves more powerful at everyone else's expense.
