The developers claim this thing will use “net zero” water. This is while they want to take water that would normally be topping up the Great Salt Lake and use it to cool the site’s gas power plant.nbs

gas turbines (like seen already in genai dcs) don’t need water for cooling, ccgt powerplant does, but it’s because there’s steam turbine downstream. dc itself could also use evaporative cooling. ccgt has some components with long lead time that will require more planning, footprint and construction than straight gas turbine powerplant

that night, dgerard’s sock drawer grew three sizes

thunderous speed in the range of minutes per residue (not every aminoacid can be used and what they’re printing is dna, not proteins so multiply it 3x. they’re encoding 3 bits per aminoacid, but there’s overhead, error correction and structural requirements that make data density lower than 1 bit per nucleobase)

it’s a haven for people who think Rimu specifically is some kind of combination antichrist/lolcow

the enemy is both strong and weak etc etc

Nothing has changed in that respect, except now we have an extra tool to make sure we get the decision correct.

And I thought the summary did a much more comprehensive justification of the ban than I could have fitted in the modlog, so why not include it?

idk maybe because it’s unnecessary to do that in the first place, and can be filled with nonsense from nonsense generator https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/25880065 emphasis mine

and previously, https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/67894781/25769171

unless i’m to disbelieve my lying eyes, that does sound awfully like llms are in the decision making process

update 2: they found the repo, week later, but won’t show you and it was made by yet another admin (tbf it was possible to guess this previously). just a rogue mod, nothing to see here

also, poor wittle intern mod unruffled who was there as an admin barely for three years since day one, that’s no time to learn how to moderate at all

then after defed immediately came complaining on dedicated community

i’m not a professional computer toucher, but i bet you’ll find something to sneer at here https://haidra.net/deleting-users/

we’re talking about openly pro-genai instance where good majority of community banners is slop and that runs distributed chatbot cluster. apparently when you don’t just enourage brainrot as a service but also take it into your own hands and cook your own users autonomously, that must be some kind of revolutionary praxis

they want your data and freshwater

your read of this situation is entirely correct, but things aren’t as bad as you think. things are a bit worse

they’re running a distributed computing thing that hosts some llms and diffusion models, for their own and their users use

given opportunity they’ll make anarchist palantir then will insist it’s all fine because it’s open source, sorry “open weight”

people see strait closed and think of oil because of course there’s a lot of oil going through it, but oil can be routed through pipelines outside gulf so impact on oil is less than that 20% commonly cited

the bigger impact is on gas, because it can’t be transported that easily and it’s closer to 40% of supply. because gas is so hard to transport you can try to avoid doing that, so it’s turned into fertilizer and diesel and aluminum, whose transport is easier, and isn’t as constrained as LNG transport. byproduct of gas mining is helium and it can’t be mined on its own, and while valuable enough to be flown out of qatar supply stops when gas stops. gulf royals have seen that world tries to get rid of oil, so this energy intensive manufacture was intended as a sort of hedge or insurance, but this too stops without transport

so, yeah. things that can be expected to directly get more expensive are energy in general and gas in particular, plastics of all kinds, aluminum, nitrogen fertilizer and to some degree phosphorus fertilizer (uses sulfur as input). and everything that depends on them, which is broadly everything. the only winning move is not to play ie use renewables for energy. these chinese officials who backed renewables buildout are probably the most vindicated people in hemisphere

that said, you can make fertilizer from other fuels, and in other places too, so it’s likely that it will “just” get more expensive, and lower nitrogen use might work about as well because many farmers overapply it. if you are a westerner i guess you might not see it hitting you too hard, but in places like sudan that will be a problem

what is your threat model? the fact that one person can’t plausibly know many advanced fields at once in sufficient detail limits risk significantly when you don’t ignore that experts are rare

it was heading from baltic. well, maybe they used to in vladivostok, but probably no longer

On October 13, 2022, Vostochnaya Verf filed an application with the Primorsky Krai Arbitration Court with a request to declare it bankrupt. According to the results of 2021, the company received a large loss and cannot pay for its obligations.[8]

also lots of heavy industry is where people live, that is in western part of russia. otherwise you have to haul steel all the way there, it would make complete sense to put the only nuclear reactor factory in area where you have all the specialists

could be, there was more of these weird things that i had to do that i don’t remember already because motherboard of that one cracked like three years ago. i also remember that stock driver for tplink dongle was limited and the actual useful one had to be gotten from github

must be greenpeace, move along nothing to see here

(also it’s old news atp)

to get wifi working properly in the first place i had to find a missing binary that wasn’t packaged in any normal way and was only hosted on some dudes github so my expectations were low already. it got a lot better over the years tbh

lmde on a seven year old laptop five years ago, i was already accustomed to wifi on linux being dogshit. energy management was even worse and for some time hibernation was not a thing
