As someone who works on embedded devices: HDDs are used for media storage and can be easily replaced. Any NAND as a limited life span and good embedded software will try very hard to minimise writes. Though in my particular area, there’s additional security constraints on the OS, which preclude any removable flash storage from being used.

Season 2 and 3 are better than season 1. But as a demonstration of how good it is, sometimes I forget ST:PIC ever existed. And I say this as a huge TNG fan.

Some of the LLMs it ships with are very reasonably sized and still be impressive. I can run them on a laptop with 32GB of RAM.

Does GPT4all not allow that? Or do you have specific other models?

Good news everyone! Lifetimes will automatically be adjusted to ensure these events will remain “once in a lifetime”.

Them being the biggest party is very much cause for concern. I remember Janmaat’s party being just a general political laughing stock. It is not a total disaster. Yet.

It doesn’t harm your computer or add viruses. All of the things it does are fake and are meant only for fun!!

Would you still love me if I was a worm? 🥺👉👈

Steel production also needs to find alternatives.

At least one steel company is on it: https://www.ssab.com/en/fossil-free-steel

I brought game xyz to enjoy it, not to keep it forever.

If you can’t keep it forever, you didn’t buy it - as in take ownership of it - you just rented it.

Yes, they’ve created an BEV specific platform, which currently is used by the Toyota bZ4X/Subaru Solterra and Lexus RZ, with the Toyota bZ3 due in 2024.

I’ve seen him make these remarks in some documentaries - I think - and it comes across as a joke.

Worth noting that “con man” is short for “confidence man”. Inflated egos help with the confidence needed to trick people out of money.

Two episodes even: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Seth_MacFarlane

The Delta Quadrants is not featured in that image, only the lower two quarters. Putting into context, that map is the lower blob in this:

I switched to DDG recently after realising how much worse Google is for giving good results. After doing so on a trial basis, I’m now switching on all my devices as it’s just overall a better search experience for me. (Even if DDG is just Bing.)

LLM and AI gives regular people a lot of crazy power and creative ability that can challenge current power dynamics.

My view is opposite in that LLM and AI will further entrench the skewed power dynamics, as only really the big companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Google can fully exploit it, drive and and afford it. Sure I can run some LLMs on my computers at home, but you really need access to a lot of data and computing power to create the models in the first place.

On a side note: I’m always amused by grand claims that get ever more specific.
