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”.


The current limitations of LLMs are built in how they fundementaly work. We would need something completely new. That is a fact.
Honestly the thought of med students using them to pass exams scares me.
Sure, use them to replace CEOs of some unimportant companies like facebook. But they are not for jobs where other peoples lives are at stake. They inherently halucinate (like many CEOs). It is built in in how they work.


It’s called RAG, and it’s the only “right” way to get any accurate information out of an LLM. And even it is not perfect. Not by far.
You can use it without an LLM. It’s basically keyword search. You still have to know what you are asking, so you have to study. Study without an imprecise LLM that can feed you false information that sounds plausible.
There are other problems with current LLMs that make them problematic. Sure you will catch onto those problems if you use them, and you still have to know more about the topic then them.
They are a fun toy and ok for low-stakes knowledge (ex cooking recipies). But as a tool in serious work they are a rubber ducky at best.
PS What the guy couple comments above said about sources, that’s probably about web search. Even when an LLM reads the sources it can missinterpet them easily. Like how apple removed their summaries because they were often just wrong.


It’s not just far. LLMs inherently make stuff up (aka hallucinate). There is no cure for that.
There are some (non llm, but neural network) tools that can be somewhat useful, but a real doctor needs to do the job anyway because all of them have various chances to be wrong.


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…
Plenty of fun normal games, especially indie games.


I wrote here my honest opinion only to be mocked. Fuck you all, I’m not going to answer this online ever again.
And no, I wasn’t sexist.

I’m using a ps2 keyboard because the usb one died.


And, funny enough, you would be doing them, the world, the datacenters, and yourself some good.


That just shows that some parts of the economy have far too much money. And it’s all going to nvidia


Kinda hard to touch bits
They kept talking it was because address exaustion, and IANA sold all the remaining blocks they had…
I tested it at the time. Ran nmap ping scan across a block all night with zero results. IANA sold the internet
I downvoted because it is not a meme. I don’t even live in your country.


Dwarf Fortress, aka drunken dwarf simulator.
Qbasic had the best manual
