I’m familiar with the BBC, but I don’t know about their Russian service. Is it the same coverage, or an independent branch? I’ve seen articles by the investigator I think, but same thing, is this their Russian branch? I’ve never heard of the first one.
Really? How fast is the memory bus compared to x86? And did they just double the bus bandwidth by doubling the memory?
I’m dubious because they only now went to 16gb ram as base, which has been standard on x86 for almost a decade.
So which ones are those two? I’m not familiar with them.
Meaning one’s that didn’t agree with Russia’s official stance, or ones claiming to be independent but still funded by Russia? Those would be very different things.
Seems silly to try to get the CPU to do GPU stuff, just upgrade the GPU.
And it’s hard to tell what the difference is. Apples ‘built from the ground up for AI’ chips just have more RAM. What’s the difference with CPUs? Do they just have more onboard graphics processing that can also be used for matrix multiplication?
You could assign company emissions to the consumers, the employees, or the owners. Without any one of those the company wouldn’t emit. I just wanted to make it clear that this study assigns it to the owners.
If you don’t include investment emissions, they’d emit more in 22 days than the average person does in their life.
Here’s the actual study
This number is almost entirely investment emissions, how much the companies they own emit.
Oxfam’s analysis found that investment emissions are the most significant part of a billionaire’s carbon footprint. The average investment emissions of 50 of the world’s richest billionaires were around 2.6 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents (CO2e) each. That is around 340 times their emissions from private jets and superyachts combined. Each billionaire’s investment emissions are equivalent to almost 400,000 years of consumption emissions by the average person, or 2.6 million years of consumption emissions by someone in the poorest 50% of the world.44
I thought it was pretty fun to play around with making limericks and rap battles with friends, but I haven’t found a particularly usefull use case for LLMs.
Okay, that’s resistive heating. So it’ll be the same efficiency as a oil heater or any space heater. So heating less space with it will save money.
Most all forms of heating are near 100% efficient, since it’s the waste heat you want. Unless the central heating is using a heat pump instead. Does your central heating use gas heating? If so, using it will probably be cheaper. If it uses resistive heating, the individual unit might be cheaper. But if it uses a heat pump, it might be cheaper to use central again. There are a lot of variables it’s hard to know.
Same, thought they were talking about preping a dnd encounter.
Current ruling party is more friendly with Russia, right?
You taking neutron? That still has a disposable upper stage.
Looks more like the mitchells vs the machines to me.
But a very small portion of human activity is developing chips or launching rockets. Most of it is manufacturing disposable junk or building roads/buildings.
And they’re on track for ~130 this year.
Reusable plastic bottles or metal are great, it’s the single use plastics that are really terrible.
Or use a laptop with a GPU? An npu seems to just be slightly upgraded onboard graphics.
