If you run it on your own hardware then you know exactly how much energy it’s using. Some of the models can even run on the average computer, but the quality is not great.

The problem we have right now is where everyone is trying to use generative AI for everything, all the time, even for basic takes such as googling for a fact, simple math that could be done on a calculator, etc. They’re also often using the latest and greatest AI models, which are powerful and spend a lot of processing power each time. In order to run the servers to respond to all that, companies use a large amount of power, and then use water to cool the servers. That’s the water usage from what I understand.

So if you use a simpler / more efficient model, and only use it for tasks where it’s better than conventional tools, you’ll be doing much better power usage wise.

@[email protected] I’ve added some more context around the screenshot. Would you be able to replace it with your recent article link?

Ah ok, you might want to update the post title and URL fields with this article’s link and the article’s title. Else the mods will likely remove it, see the community rules

The article you linked doesn’t confirm the current title you have up

I’m not sure if those sources are any better since I can’t find anything about them. According to the other comment, there should be other articles about this case since it was on their national news for some time.

Also, some of those articles are dated from 1 year ago. Is there a reason you’re posting this now, such as new updates? Else it would be against the community rules

Edit: The articles I found suggest that the father admitted to it, while the brothers deny involvement and there is another hearing coming up. What I found weird though was the screenshot states the brothers involvement as a fact.

I looked around for the logo on the screenshot, and it seems to be this organization

https://catalyticministries.com/

This other source (which I’m also unfamiliar with) points out that this organization is controversial

https://ministrywatch.com/global-catalytic-ministries-hides-behind-veil-of-secrecy/

It also summarizes the purpose of the org above:

GCM offers varying descriptions of its work, many of them characterized by grandiose but unverified claims, such as “transforming Muslims worldwide,” “750 churches planted throughout the Middle East and Central Asia,” and “bringing disciple-making methods to the West to build a decentralized network of discipleship communities that will prepare America for the end time harvest.”

Which makes the source seem, less credible…

Going off of the last paragraph, it sounds like this happened in the Netherlands

Organic Maps was on iOS, my guess is that it’ll take time to get a new app approved on the iOS store

The plan is to hold our one this winter. We missed last winter because we all got busy with other things. Now that we have a set of agreed upon questions ready and a plan for importing/exporting between instances, it should be easy to run ours on schedule :)

I believe Waymo has a better set of sensors (Lidar + Radar+ Cameras instead of just cameras), more processing power, and more research / time / resources spent on it compared to Tesla.

So it’s not that we aren’t ready for self driving taxis, but rather about which cars are ready to provide that service

It could be so that it works for embedded videos on other websites

A big part of this site’s pitch to its clients, including the “hyperscale” customers with gigantic data centers nearby, is that each device is labeled, tracked, and inventoried for its drives—both obvious and hidden—and is either securely wiped or destroyed. The process, commonly called ITAD, is used by larger businesses, especially when they upgrade fleets of servers or workers’ devices. ITAD providers ensure all the old gear is wiped clean, then resold, repurposed, recycled, or destroyed.

There’s a quote along the lines of “User error is not a thing, the system allowed for the error through bad design”

Which can be true depending on how far you stretch it. I’d say that if a chunk of the user base is having a problem, it’s a design problem

We haven’t hugged the Wii to death yet

I saw this on another post earlier: https://www.theverge.com/tech/672312/microsoft-block-palestine-gaza-email

This user commented about trying Watcharr earlier in this thread

I also see mentions of Ryot, Yamtrak, Simkl, Jellystat

A 2x price increase (or more for people who are on discounted or grandfathered plans) will likely get people to reevaluate if they really need the service. Based on the comments so far, it looks like a lot of people already have dropped it

This comment gives a good summary, but in short it lets you track what movies and shows you’ve watched / want to watch

I also remember seeing articles about how the design was meant to be very simple because it was going to be cost effective, and that they were experimenting with a manufacturing technique that would work better on Mars

Yea nope.

Instead now Slate Auto seems to be going for the cost effective minimalistic truck

While Hyundai has put out some actual retro futuristic models

It tracks watch history and allows you to build lists, in a way that should integrate with other services. How well it does that is questionable

Some people might still be using it out of habit or loyalty, but a $30 price jump might change that

It stopped doing that a few months back, but it still randomly asks every now and then. I wish Android could deny permanently
