And I’d bet that a significant portion of that voting block also does not have a favourable view of israel, so uh what? Someone being jewish doesn’t mean they automatically agree with israels actions, unlike what israeli propaganda would like you to believe.

Oh damn. Very good article btw.

According to numbers floating around online, thiat would mean one llama query is around as expensive as 10 google searches. And it’s likely that those costs will increase further.

It still seems like the biggest factor here is the scale of adaptation. Unfortunately the total energy costs of AI might even scale exponentially since the more complex the queries get, the better the responses will likely be. And that will further drive adaptation.

This pace is so clearly unsustainable it’s horrifying, and while it was obvious to some degree, it seems it’s worse than I thought.

Using it, not all that energy intensive (one llm use is roughly the same as 3 pre-ai-bullshit google searches iirc). Training it, very energy intensive.

Yes it would but we haven’t even replaced all our previous needs with renewables so it aint helping.

The citations metric is also slanted, because pretty much all countries will cite english papers regardless of the language of the paper being written, but all non anglo countries also produce a significant part of papers in the local language, which are much less likely to get cited.

Does AI just generate a font now and use that for text? I’m asking because the letters seem to be entirely consistent which I don’t think would happen if the text was image-gend.

There’s also a good chance it’s just the image that was AI generated and someone did manually add the text, easiest check might be to reverse search without the text.

Thanks, I’ll have to check that out

Bowling stemmed from a gambling ban. It’s gambling if you play a game where you wager money, it doesn’t have to be purely or at all luck based (and technically chess has a luck element since white has an advantage).

Though there’s a good chance this is just a pretext to stop people engaging in things that might make them too good at thinking for themselves.

Sometimes I get clickbaited into watching one because yt doesn’t let me hide them forever (is there an extension for that maybe? Surely it’s doable with css or something), and they’ve been alright. Though the ones I clicked on have only been from one creator and I don’t mind fast talking (not sped up) and those didn’t have the fast cuts.

I also really don’t get the appeal of the format. I’ve been sent shorts from other creators and it just feels worse than the same thing as a proper video. It doesn’t overload me because it’s essentially how my brain operates anyway, but that’s also why I want things that make me take a break from constantly thinking in overdrive by simply being slow.

I mainly struggle with the executive dysfunction part. I found that preparing anything at all helps, even just opening the document I need to write on another screen will mean that whenever my attention next detaches from whatever else I’m doing, I will automatically latch onto what I’m supposed to do as the next thing.

This is the only way I managed to make progress on my bachelor’s thesis.

I’ve come to realize that this is all stock markets. They are vibes-based, in their entirety. Often the vibes coincide with economic reality, sometimes you have a powerful person bullshitting enough people to make the value go up (or down) which at a certain point leads to even those that weren’t fooled to join in because the price change is real.

Yeah, what people forget is that even average americans (and central/northern europeans and some other plaves) are quite wealthy from a global perspective. Many people on lemmy, self included, are in that global 10%.

And many of those emissions aren’t something you can just avoid either, they often come as a result of being a user of local infrastructure etc.

Lack of alcohol supply (a specific kind no less) is so far down the list of actual problems though. The majority of the population of the EU in every country seems to be on board with suffering a little in order to stick it to trump, so whiskey is really a weird thing to not import, especially given the potential impact it can have on the political opinion in affected regions.

Definitely not typical in all of europe at least. Dominos here offers 25, 28, or 32cm diameter, and most other pizzas I’ve had, fast food or not, have always been in that range as well (though I can only speak for germany and the netherlands, haven’t had fast food pizza elsewhere and I don’t even really remember how big the pizza I had in italy 10 years ago was). 40cm is family size here (one local place used to have 50cm family pizzas, which are definitely 2 or even 1 slice per person territory).

As much as it sounds good, this is not an argument that will convince anyone who is against DEI (and honestly while DEI usually seems implemented quite well it’s not any better of an argument than “North Korea is called the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, so they’re a democracy”).

The people that are against DEI mostly fall in 2 categories. One is flat out racists, which have no issues being against these values. The other are those that believe that the implementation of DEI is in some way bad and discriminatory. This is ime often based on sensationalized news about a few edge cases or stories that were twisted to a degree where they’re basically made up. They don’t need to be told that diversity, equity and inclusion are good values, they need to be informed about the fearmongering being just that.

Though with what trump is doing I suspect many of the latter category are already realizing that trumps version of “getting rid of DEI” is doing exactly the bad things they were told DEI does, so maybe we’re already mostly left with the racists.

One of the major draws of discord is the fact that they host the servers for you, for free. Anyone can make an account, click a button, and have a discord server.

Afaik matrix does allow this (haven’t used it personally) but it’s something where I am a bit worried about hosting costs if it reaches a large scale. (Also unsure about how the matrix protocol works precisely, but if defederation is a thing which I feel like it has to be, I can see it leading to huge pains since discords use case is often about being part of a specific communitu, as opposed to twitter or reddit. Being unable to join a groip or see some messsges because of federation issues would be a major headache).

They poll between 11 and 18% in bavaria from what I found. They’re doing best in the east, but unfortunately the entire country has a significant part of the population voting for them.

Overall I’ve been routinely surprised that dw seems to be doing far more neutral reporting and investigative journalism regarding israel than the supposedly independent ÖR, where most of what I’ve seen feels rather biased.

Maybe it really is some internal strife, or maybe DW just employs better journalists sticking to their ethics, or a mix of things.

Stare at it. Ignoring cats will make them like you, bevause to cats, not being looked at is a sign of trust.

Which is entirely seperate from having a grasp on how much money it is you’re borrowing and how hard it will be to pay back

Those will always be a small part. If it’s culturally clear what is harrassment and shouldn’t be tolerated, it’s far more likely that 1) there are actual consequences to sexual harrassment because victims feel comfortable speaking up and 2) that bystanders will try to intervene. Both of which make it less likely for anyone to even try.

When speaking up is met with “you dressed wrong”, “he was just trying to get to know you”, that is the core problem. Adding “you were on the wrong train car” isn’t necessarily helpful.

Japans women-only cars are sadly necessary, but the focus should be on making them unnecessary, not adding gender segregation in more places.
