I get what you’re saying, but let’s chill out on the infantilization of women.

A 20-something-year-old woman doesn’t compare to a 12-year-old.

And maybe the 20-something-year-old woman hitting on you just wants to have fun and is not thinking about anything working out with you. Presume much?

“NewsBreak”, a free app with roots in China that is the most downloaded news app in the United States.

Never heard of it. Hard to believe it’s the most downloaded news app. I guess I’m out of touch.

Turning 43 this year if you take the common 1981 as the cut-off.

Good read.

They need something like this for colonoscopies.

If there was a way to test it at home, I’m sure a lot less people would die from colorectal cancer.

Meh. Your value as a human isn’t tied to your accomplishments (be it having a family or getting a high paying job) or productivity.

This whole thing of “striving as a honed skill” sounds like hustling culture and capitalist brainwashing. In fact, I would say it takes more skill to actually be content with your life and not feel the constant need to strive to be someone better or do something more.

You seem to think that unless you’ve done something, you’re worthless.

It seems that according to your view, a homeless person without a family is completely worthless.

Yeah, that’s why no one is having families anymore.

The last point has to come with a huge caveat. Some of those developing countries are pretty unsafe outside of resorts without a guide or a local that knows where you should and shouldn’t go.

As long as they’re working on it and not implementing it anytime soon, because the tech is definitely not there yet.

I honestly feel bad for deaf people who have to put up with the state of subtitles in all media. There should be some universal standards that all studios should be forced to adhere to.

It’s amazing that there isn’t. Where are the disability rights?

And of course, translated material just adds another layer of complexity. So imagine, an AI has to first capture the proper words being said, then translate it in context and understand obscure references the author might have made, etc… Yeah right… When AI can do that, then we’ll really have artificial “intelligence”.

one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.

And it’s not just energy. Generative AI systems need enormous amounts of fresh water to cool their processors and generate electricity. In West Des Moines, Iowa, a giant data-centre cluster serves OpenAI’s most advanced model, GPT-4. A lawsuit by local residents revealed that in July 2022, the month before OpenAI finished training the model, the cluster used about 6% of the district’s water. As Google and Microsoft prepared their Bard and Bing large language models, both had major spikes in water use — increases of 20% and 34%, respectively, in one year, according to the companies’ environmental reports. One preprint suggests that, globally, the demand for water for AI could be half that of the United Kingdom by 2027.

What’s a good site to compare cpus and gpus?

When did the CBC give this guy air time? I looked for it, and all I found are articles critical of him by the CBC.

Yes, let’s fight prejudice by stereotyping a whole race, gender, and sexual orientation…

*Narcissistic

Come on, make a fucking effort. You gonna draw all that and not take 1 min to check for typos and spelling.

“A huge amount of time, energy and skill was taken to create our dodecahedron, so it was not used for mundane purposes,” writes the group, adding: “They are not of a standard size, so will not be measuring devices. They don’t show signs of wear, so they are not a tool.”

Instead, the group agrees with experts who think dodecahedrons were used for ritualistic or religious purposes. As Smithsonian magazine wrote last year, researchers at Belgium’s Gallo-Roman Museum have hypothesized that Romans used the objects in magical rituals, which could explain dodecahedrons’ absence from historical records: With the Roman Empire’s eventual embrace of Christianity came laws forbidding magic. Practitioners would have had to keep their rituals—and related objects—a secret.

“Roman society was full of superstition,” writes the Norton Disney group. “A potential link with local religious practice is our current working theory. More investigation is required, though.”
