Water has to be cleaned. It is renewable, not free. My city has many sources, but most places where they build datacenters do not. It is a real problem

Either way the biggest proble, IMO, is the pressure on the electric grid. If the asshats building the centers would cooperate with others, there would be much less problems.

As for power usage, yea its a lot but still not an insane amount. The image and video generation uses a LOT more then text.

Inits are simple. If you know gnu make, it’s about as complicated as you can make an init.

SystemD is not just an init. That’s the problem.

Ah yes. Safety knives. Safety buildings. Safety sleeping pills. Safety rope.

LLMs are stupid. A toy. A tool at best, but really a rubber ducky. And it definitely told him “don’t”.

Hmmm. Sure. But I find people don’t understand how much one kWh really is. A 500W drill can twist your arm. Imagine yourself twisting someones arm with all you got for a whole hour. Or idk. Either way it’s a lot of energy.

And then you think about how much more energy a car uses then a human does. And then you find out about hot water…

It’s probably animation speed. There’s a setting for that, iirc.

Llama.cpp (on which ollama runs on) can. And many chat programs for phones can use it.

Imagine there’s like a super rich country where everybody gets paid at least 10x what you do. And they order crap from the company you work at.

It’s just the way it is in the world. A new gpu costs the same in my country, but median pay is like 2-4x less. So basically imagine if a new gpu costs 3000$ instead of 1k. Obligatory nvidia f you.

Lineageos. I’m like 1 android version behind latest on s9.

Also it depends on the chip maker and the phone maker. Fairphone will get the latest for like a decade…

Breaks are kinda important.

The only thing that matters in government politics is public opinion.

"Open"ai is definitely sharing everything you tipe with your government. Only difference is that chinese care less about your illusions. That said we are not even a blip in the sea of data so it doesn’t matter anyway.

Bdw your patriot act says that any data that goes over your border can be stored and used indefinitely. So me seing your comment means your nsa will store it and can use it, even though spying on your own people is against your constitution or something.

Electrolisis is relatively inefficient and wears down the electrodes. While not as bad on an industrial scale, those are still problems. And then you have to convert it back, that is even less efficient.

Good in theory, barely passable in practice. Growing sugar cane and making ethanol would be better, like brazil does it.

OP is… trying his best, I guess. For now lipo is the best solution. Actually multiple things are the solution. Pumped water has a delay that needs to be covered by something else. Flywheels have mechanical chalenges. Molten salt also has problems. Etc. They all compliment each other. IMO best single solution would be nuclear. Salt will be better then lithium, but in some years.

When batteries (ahcually accumulators, but whatever) are done properly, the fires should not go beyond one cell, if at all.

PS Gravity, except pumped water, is hilariously bad.

Fullscreen Xorg windows that use the gpu bypass everything, so it should be the same. Wayland could even be “worse”. Both also support direct input.

I use wayland only because moving windows around is smoother. It’s still a bigger pain overall. “Not quite there yet” is how I would describe it.
