  • Texas slams on the brakes for 1,800 data centers, power grid requirements are 5 times higher than peak record demand — 474 gigawatts of power requests are now subject to new moratorium

  • Inb4 they just start building them off grid with diesel generators, and they can't do anything about it because Exxon lobbied the Texas government to make the "right to bear diesel generators" constitutionally protected.

  • Boomers on Facebook Are Leaving Comments That Make It Clear That They Have No Idea That AI-Generated Thirst Traps Aren't Real

    Jump

  • Idk, if it's an explicit thirst trap account that's plugging for OF or something then it's fine to post that since they'll probably appreciate the engagement.

    But yeah your right 99% of the time, just like making unsolicited comments to strangers irl is wrong 99% of the time unless it's in a strip club where the women presumably want that kind of attention.

  • YouTuber Hank Green Is Facing a Fan Revolt Over His AI Use

    Jump

  • I can understand why this technology would be particularly addicting to hank.

    His whole persona is answering questions like "what color flower do bees like the most" with the kind of enthusiasm that shows his curiosity and deep passion for science. So a machine where you can put in those sorts of questions and get an almost instant answer would be very addicting.

    Jump

  • There wasn't an intervention, he asked them about his AI use in response to the outrage and they agreed he'd been using it unhealthy.

    Seemed to me more along the lines of "do I have too much salt?" , "yeah you should cut back" ; Then "your coke problem is tearing this family apart"

  • Israeli court halts crocodile transfer to Palestinian prison over animal welfare concerns

    Jump

  • In its petition, Let the Animals Live said Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman ignored ministry legal experts and Nature and Parks Authority officials, who warned the transfer lacked scientific basis and could endanger both the animals and prison staff

    Nothing about the prisoners, who are also animals that should be able to live, but liberal zionists causes are rarely coherent

  • Oliver Larkin Slams Trump As 'Pedophile President' on Fox

    Jump

  • Nah, the answer to these questions is "that's not ice's job, and they're not doing that"

    Investigating and arresting violent criminals is the job of the local police , FBI etc. Ice is Immigration and customs enforcement , they enforce immigration laws, not violent crime laws.

    The guy was sort of getting at that by calling illegally crossing a misdemeanor but didn't drive home that that's all they're arresting people for and that all those examples the guy was giving of the horrible crimes of migrants were probably investigated and arrested by local police, not ICE.

  • take their money and arrest those responsible

  • This is why buying new cars is dumb,

    A used Hyundai sonata 2024 is ~20k USD

    A used Hyundai ioniq 6 2024 is ~24k USD

    Yeah it may be more upfront, but most people finance any way and your monthly payment will be offset buy your fuel savings.

    There's enough of a stock of used EVs, quite often with low mileage, at this point that cost is becoming less of an issue for people then the perceived lack of convenience. That and dealerships/manufacturers not promoting them because they get less maintenance fees and they're lower margin then a giant SUV or pickup.

  • Don’t use AI for this kind of advice.

    Why? It basically gave the same advice as you:

    Can dogs eat cheese, onions, garlic, grapes or chocolate?

    Claude sonnet:

    Short answer: cheese is mostly fine in small amounts; onions, garlic, grapes, and chocolate are all dangerous and should be avoided entirely. ...

    It went on to explain why each is toxic.

    Not saying it's more reliable then a vet , but it's just as reliable as strangers on the Internet.

  • Oracle fires 21,000 employees to fund AI spending

  • I commute past the Oracle campus in silicon valley every other day and it's been a ghost town for years. They did move there HQ to texas, but they still have so much office space that they don't use.

    Someone could probably steal there boat out front and no one would notice for a week.

  • did you read the devs reply?, He definitely wasn't saying this was for annoying people who misconstrue things

    As will be explained further, there are 10 rules that are enforced, the biggest one being a very basic “don’t be a violent extremist”. That’s probably 30% of the list. Another 50% are just alts of Dwazou (persistent, long-term ban evader), and the remaining 20% just garden-variety spammers and toxic people who scare the normies away.

    I'm not an alt of dwazou, or a spammer so guess that just leaves violent extremist.

  • Generative AI Is an Engineering Disaster. A shockingly inefficient trillion-dollar project.

    Jump

  • Ok, explain to me why you can't scale out existing small and mid tier models horizontally? yes there are current resource limits on chips and energy but we know how to build those out and those types of limits are common to nearly every other industry, it's just that no other industry has generated such rapid demand/investment for infrastructure.

    There's no O(n^2) problem on number of requests that would make handling large scale rollout impossible like the article is suggesting.

  • Israel has lower gdp per capita ($60k PPP) then the US ($94k).

    This is just to say they're providing that better qol despite having less money.

  • Are you talking about a one shot from the model or using a harness? I agree a junior dev can do better then a one shot, but with a proper harness with adversarial review cycles I don't think a junior dev could

    junior actually learns and becomes much more consistent than the AI over time.

    A proper harness will have memory and will get more consistent the more you use it. You can "teach" it by adding skills and having it write it's learnings either locally or to repo context files.

    Jump

  • I wouldn’t separate performance scalability and user scalability as they ultimately go hand in hand together.

    Ok think of them as different scaling factors then, maybe n for number of requests and s for size of requests and c for complexity of requests. Scaling for n can be done horizontally by building more data centers which is possible. Scaling for s or c requires building bigger models which has diminishing returns.

    Scaling for n is required to make the software business model work, like the article says. Scaling for s or c though isn't required as long as your average user keeps those constant, which is possible.

    LLMs are inefficient by design.

    They are less efficient when compared to what traditional computing can already do, eg. Arithmetic, structured data analysis etc. There are things that traditional computing can't do, eg. writing an essay, that can only be compared to the human brain which is hard to do. So you can say AI is inefficient at calculating 2 + 2 , but it's a hard case to make that it's inefficient at writing an essay.

  • which offsets the data center scale out

    This is only true if everyone is always using the top line model, which most people don't. Both because most people just use the default, which is a low or mid tier model, and because it's expensive. The top line models are becoming increasingly niche.

    The tech needs to be smarter not larger.

    I agree, that's why more focus is being put on the harness and agent orchestration these days. You can achieve better results by having a large model orchestrate a bunch of smaller model agents to do simpler tasks then trying to have the large model one shot it. This doesn't mean the whole cloud AI business is bullshit, they're still going to need to build out a lot of capacity for these smaller models and still going to need large models to handle the planning and orchestration, it just means the call count for these larger models are going to be lower.

    So it's probably not going to be 1 million calls to a small model turns into 1 million calls to a larger model and the capacity never catches up, it's going to be 1 million calls to a small model and 1,000 to a large one which is more feasible to build out.

    people’s homes are being sized with eminent domain for this shit. It ain’t worth it.

    I don't agree with how the data centers are being rolled out, they can and should be built out with renewable energy and consent from the community which isn't happening. I disagree that data centers shouldn't be built at all or that it will be an unachievable Sisyphusian task to build them out.

  • Ok, remove the just then, the point still stands that it is a solvable problem. We know how to make data centers, it may not be easy or cheap but it's possible just like we know how to build car factories.
