They're still profiling you, but at least they pretend not to do it with the above.
Why?
I'm quite serious, and I use an 11 year old ThinkPad with 8GB of RAM.
I don't do LLMs. I don't develop Flash or its JS replacements. I rarely edit video. Frankly, surfing YouTube uses far more RAM than anything serious development I do.
While numeracy is certainly useful, isn't that only the surface point. The depth in deeper learning (we all learn - Edward Deming - but learn what?) is in shaping self and the internally and externally perceived worlds.
Links to nothing more than a listing page and a popup.
I don't want to normalise the world. A new generation born, a new generation figuring out how to throw a ball, tie shoe laces, but not store data in a flat table.
I was heartwarmed to see it's a 17 minute video. That answers my questions perfectly.
I didn't see an Xms in the article.
If one of the AI companies use their windfall investment funds wisely they'd invest in getting fusion power working, something that small scale crypto power wasters don't have the organisation for.
That is, in fact, the only thing I can figure out what Sam Altman needs $7 trillion for.
At least then when it bursts we'd have something to show. And he'd get some place in history.
What's banana?
On first glance it looks like a mashup of NFT without the crypto, RPG frog-kill grinding, and slot-machine style compulsive level pulling all rolled into one.
Do people or bots play?
Economics focuses on opportunity cost. If the article can't get the first 6 words right in an article about an obstensively 'economic' topic, market failure, I can use time that would be otherwise spent reading it writing this comment. ACM, tut tut.
Floating bridges also don't necessarily need to have fixed points to load and unload. With suitable stabilisation and propulsion, they should be able to move to any number of loading and unloading points. We could have a floating bridge per train, vehicle, or any unit or set of users.
But there are other things there's demand for, or demand can even be created for, that do not have such vast efficient scales. Hand-reared escargot, or spinach grown within resonance of a woodpecker pecking at dawn, just two examples.
Then Xenophobia with COVID, for some blame, but for many the system is blaming and in a country where taking accountability for a hot potato thrown to you means the hot potato of dealing with 'foreign' got passed to the lowest rung who could throw it no more - the residential security guard, or the food supplier coming up with the fanciful 'Covid blew across from North Korea into the restaurant'.
But the same friends say Nationalism and Xenophobia, it is a topic that's been there enough to be a regular talking point, are now taking backseat as policy tools and are pre 2019 levels.
