This article and discussion is specifically about massively upscaling LLMs. Go follow the links and read OpenAI's CEO literally proposing data centers which require multiple, dedicated grid-scale nuclear reactors.
I'm not sure what your definition of optimization and efficiency is, but that sure as heck does not fit mine.
Don't look for statistical precision in analogies. That's why it's called an analogy, not a calculation.
No, this is the equivalent of writing off calculators if they required as much power as a city block. There are some applications for LLMs, but if they cost this much power, they're doing far more harm than good.
Semicolons are technically optional in JS, but there are some rare cases where omitting them can result in different behaviour.
And this is why you should enforce code style, kids. Preferably with an automated tool.
I'll take a stab at it.
"Researchers spend $X to see whether poison leaking into the ground gets into our water."
Yeah, I don't know why you're getting so many down votes. That is what Hitler's party was called, so technically Poilievre isn't lying. He's still a dumbass for seriously stating that position and purposefully spreading confusion for his own benefit, but it's technically not a lie.
Your first paragraph assumes that labour costs are the same in both markets and that there is little development or tooling cost to setting up that manufacturing base locally. Both are false, and both of those are really the reason overseas manufacturing is a thing in the first place.
Exactly this, and rightly so. The school's administration has a moral and legal obligation to do what it can for the safety of its students, and allowing this to continue unchecked violates both of those obligations.
I find it difficult to lay the blame with VSCode when the terminology belongs to git, which (even 7 years ago) was an industry standard technology.
People using tools they don't understand and plowing ahead through scary warnings will always encounter problems.
I mean, that's easy enough if you're trying to catch the ball with your face. Usually that's not the goal, so you’ll be standing slightly to the side or the object is moving toward your stomach. ;)
Even then, that's discounting the whole image analysis part of the equation, which your brain does dozens of times per second with incredible accuracy. Your waste bin example would have had to do enough to differentiate the ball from the background, and that definitely qualifies as a complex algorithm.
ETA: also, closing your hand at the right time does require your brain to know how close the object is, not just that you've positioned yourself in its path.
Yeah, people rating their insurance as "excellent" obviously comes with the implied "compared to other US healthcare insurance options," if you read the rest of it or spend even 5 seconds thinking about it.
