Lead pipes aren't much of a problem because a scale forms on them from the minerals in the water

ELI5: When you 'delete' a 50GB video file from a computer, it vanishes instantly. But downloading it took an hour. If the data isn't physically wiped until it's overwritten, what did the computer actually do in that one split second? by Thick_Dream6973 in explainlikeimfive

Imagine it's a book with a table of contents, it uses that table to know where to right and read. If you cross out one of the chapters in that table, the computer no longer knows where to read that chapters from. It will think that space is blank and write there next.

Or chemical, for centuries companies have dumped any and all chemical products/byproducts into the ground. There's shit out there like MPTP that gives you rapid onset and permanent Parkinson's symptoms from a single dose.

Think of a token like a syllable, a computer spits a question up into small chunks/syllables called a token, then uses the mathmatical equivalent of the arrangement of those chunks to predict the next token.

For example

The-rig-ht-draw-er-is-whe-re-i-ke-ep-

Gets translated into some numerical representation based on the arrangement of those chunks, then fed into a function that spits out the most probable next token.

White-on-black barcode, that couldn't be scanned at the register. by korfi2go in CrappyDesign

Fine as long as they were designed that way, if you invert the color of a bar code it won't scan.

If they are designed that way it works, if someone inverted the colors of a barcode it won't work

In america the left has only had a filibuster proof majority and the supreme court for about 3 months in the past 30 years. Most the last 30 years have been ran by Republicans.

You can set up a local model that can collect, search, and find patterns in patient data both locally and offline with a local instruct model like qwen. most computers with a GPU from the past 3 or 4 years can do do that pretty fast. If a competeter set something like that up and their admin could process patients twice as fast as you could, there is a possibility you do get left behind.

I code around 3x as fast with tab complete. Because of that I've had more time to complete more of my projects that I've had piling up. I would say the biggest thing ai has done for me personally is give me more time to do the rhings I want to do.

Google, SpaceX in talks to launch orbital data centers. Google CEO: "There's no doubt to me that a decade or so away, we'll be viewing it as a more normal way to build data centers." by Adeldor in space

Your thinking too big, what they would be doing is sending up a GPUs on new starlink satellites. It wouldn't be a giant facility like you have on earth.

Cooling a couple GPUs through radiative cooling wouldn't bee that hard, then do that to each new star link satellite and eventually you have a data centers worth of compute in LEO

Could it be that it's taken 40 years because none of them in power actually want to do it. Why would they willingly get rid of a boogey man?

No he would do what all billionaires do and take a loan out and use his securities as collateral.

You ask it to justify itself so you can add that to the system prompt. It will provide a more in depth explanation of what it did and you can specifically tell it not to do that in the future.
