It’s always the fucking DNS. .__.

The factory must grow. Somehow, there keeps being demand for infinitely more RAM and energy.

Current AI is a dead end, it’s less intelligent than a fly brain, which by the way can solve mazes with just 160,000 neurons, remember where the food is after hours of discovering such, is self replicating, and is a generic intelegect.

Good, so the bland cavendish will never die and we actually learned something from the first mass-extinction event of more flavorful bananas. (the old more flavorful essence of the dead variety is still fckn. everywhere.)

Just try find and track the price per kg of a good, and you are in deep shit. Its some times hidden, after several “get the app”, “two for one” just to find out the good is fucking more expensive if you refuse go though the privacy invasing hoops. What the fuck happended to “Limited time offer until this actually cheap batch is sold out!”

Initially, x86 CPUs didn’t have a FPU. It cost extra, and was delivered as a separate chip.

Later, GPU is just a overgrown SIMD FPU.

NPU is a specialized GPU that operates on low-precision floating-point numbers, and mostly does matrix-multiply-and-add operations.

There is zero neural processing going on here, which would mean the chip operates using bursts of encoded analog signals, within power consumption of about 20W, and would be able to adjust itself on the fly online, without having a few datacenters spending exceeding amount of energy to update the weights of the model.

This is a kind of part you want a single metallic-crystal of… anything less would we subpar and jesus. So no uncontrolled cooling of the cast for you. (or the rotor can decide this is a good day for a extra slow spin and no-flight.)

Now, provide an example that you cannot, is impossible, to translate into French.

And I’ll accept your claim of unknowing is better than knowing.

Every technology invented is a dual edge sword. Other edge propulses deluge of misinformation, llm hallucinations, brain washing of the masses, and exploit exploit for profit. The better side advances progress in science, well being, availbility of useful knowledge. Like the nuclerbomb, LLM “ai” is currenty in its infancy and is used as a weapon, there is a literal race to who makes the “biggest best” fkn “AI” to dominate the world. Eventually, the over optimistic buble bursts and reality of the flaws and risks will kick in. (Hopefully…)

Sure it’s terrifying, but you can start a sparky plasma show in a resilient enough container and keep it going for hours and the microwave won’t break. (except maybe overheat.) The microwave will be fine as long as the arcs don’t reach the waveguide cover. (which would risk burning/shorting the magnetron.)

I have done the microwave grape plasma trick myself and started an arc in a microwave. The current between the two objects goes through a very narrow point, which is enough vaporize the contact point to plasma. This then can grow as the microwave continues to pump more energy into the spark.

So this is it. The enshittification has reached slowlorris levels.

I spent solid 10min writing an useful answer and then looked up. Now I want my 10mins back.

Nah, I’m not that paranoid and I need the mic for calls.

This might just push my fear of targeted ads enough to give in to my idea of a nearly soundproof box for my phone when I’m not using it. :(

I’ll just comment about one thing that keeps popping up in the discussions: grid-level storage. There is no such thing yet really that would last a full day cycle, and the 100MW or so units we are building are mostly for frequency stabilization and for buying enough time to turn on a base-load plant when the renewables drop out. I’m not arguing against storage - it is absolutely needed.

The problem is the scale, which people don’t seem to get. Largest amount of energy we can currently repeatedly store and release is with pumped hydro, and the locations where this is possible are few and far between. Once the batteries reach this level-of-capacity, then we have a possibility to use them as grid-level storage that lasts a few days instead of hours.

MSRs have negative temperature reactivity coefficient and outlet temps around 700C at atm pressure. PWR is at measly 300C and 150 Bar.

If all control is lost, the salt expands as it heats up pushing the expanded volume out from the reactor core. The fission stops once the fuel is leaves the core region where the moderator is. Reverse is also true: you pull heat off from the loop, so the fuel-salt becomes denser, increasing reactivity. MSRs can naturally “follow” the load, if done right.

Too much water. And it’s all either fresh, slush or solid.

Because of the lack of salt, we have salmiakki. /s
