Maybe our company is an odd one out but I'm pretty sure that number is more like 20-30%....
Out of a team of 10, 2 of us do about 50% of the work. 3 do about 30%, and the remaining five do about 20%... With probably two to three of them doing effectively nothing most of the time.
In our team isn't abnormal.
It's only going to get worse year over year as we move towards a dystopian corporation ran future.
The U.S. leading the pack on testing how much a rich person can get away with while directly interfering with a d profiting from the government, which is funded by the people.
It's just another grift, but this time in the open, corporate sponsored politicians being elected as presidents is going to become the norm. The only thing it takes is money to influence an undereducated populace.
Yep, but now that you have monopolies doing it, they can do whatever they want and abuse their position.
Why?
We should be spending an incredible amount on education. The entirety of our advancement as a species relies, fully, on our ability to train and educate our generations. A country's advantage on the global stage, it's ability to make good decisions, it's stability, quality of life....etc All hinge on education.
The "return on investment" is massive.
Just to mainain requires incredible effort, nevermind get better.
Guessing it's not a dead/halted project?
Heat pumps work at >100% thermal efficiency.
Air conditioners dont.
An air conditioner is a heat pump... That just works in one direction. It uses refrigeration just the same.
They both rely on creating a thermal gradient between two heat exchangers. And they are both negatively affected by extreme temperature gaps.
The heat exchanger facing outside with a heat pump must be colder than ambient temperature by a reasonable margin. The opposite goes for an AC. These qualities break down in extreme ranges for typical hardware.
This also, as expected, reduces the efficiency.
Holy shit, that hits close to home.
For me it's Checks room and partner is stuck on Instagram/Facebook/Tiktok.
Or partner takes 45m to do a 5min task because they take 10m standing breaks every minute to doomscroll.
Then complain that they don't have any time to do their normal shared workload. Or play with the kid with me, or walk the dogs....etc
No you pretty much have this wrong in fundamental way.
These websites are not using you to train their models. Google is using these websites to use you to train Google's models.
Yeah but this is ~~reddit~~ Lemmy where nuance and discussions are down voted until they reach equilibrium with the lowest common denominator.
Treating statements like false dichotomies is central to that.
Being incapable of separating a topic from a sub discussion that touches on that topic, and applying critical thinking, is a staple of online communities these days.
Computational demands scale aggressively with model size.
And if you want a response back in a reasonable amount of time you're burning a ton of power to do so. These models are not fast at all.
You are conveniently ignoring model size here...
Which is a primary impact on power consumption.
And any other processing and augmentation being performed. System prompts and other things that are bloating the token size ...etc never mind the fact that you're getting a response almost immediately for something that an at home GPU cluster (not casual PC) would struggle with for many minutes, this isn't always a linear scale for power consumption.
You are also ignoring the realities of a data center. Where the device power usage isn't the only power consumption of the location, cooling must be taken into consideration as well. Redundant power switching also comes with a percentage loss in transmission efficiency which adds to power consumption and heat dispersion requirements.
IMHO this is just hopium.
There's no indication that they will not work together since they need each other for their own separate selfish reasons.
They will use each other as long as goals have not been met.
When those goals are met then they will have a falling out. And at that point it's too late for the rest of us.
