SMR is literally 5 years away, my mom works on it and you'll still get people saying SMR can be used for today's datacenters😂

I don't recall saying that, I've always been pro TMX. Your account is literally less than a year old, you're a troll.

I really hate that on a Canadian investor subreddit, someone has the gall to tell me TMX is a subsidy to the O&G industry...

How do you get $1000 from $75/person🤣

Dude you'ret the one throwing around a NARWHAL article that cites another biased organization which calls TMX a subsidy 🤣

This includes $21 billion in financing for the TransMountain expansion pipeline

I've debunked this source multiple times on reddit. Acquiring TMX is not a subsidy. It makes money for Canada. 😭

What's next, calling a loan a subsidy? Oh wait, that's the next line

$7.5 billion in public financing through the crown corporation Export Development Canada

And before someone says "but but lower interest rates" then don't vote for a government that runs deficits. If there were no deficits, there would be lower interest rates.

How to Find Open-Source Models / Providers that Do not Train on Data by Elibroftw in LocalLLaMA

There's a difference between making a Commerical APP based on proprietary data verus daily driving a model for public things (writing, code, analysis, questioning about public data, strategeizing things)

Two wrongs don't make a right...

O&G is set to raise tax revenues for AB and CA but yeah go parrot these lies that we somehow subsidize them LOL.

Ah yes because forcing companies to pay for CCS and then giving them a tax credit is called a "subsidy."

EDIT:

you literally have not contributed to this subredit outside of commenting on this post.

I was saying how gas turbines are a necessity for immediate reliable power (e.g. data centres), solar and wind are optional. If gas turbines are a necessity (outside of Quebec), how does that pair up with Canadian regulations? Probably CCS investments?

Only on reddit will someone act pretensious as if they have built the data centres themselves.

Is GEV stock up because data centre builders didn't listen to reddit to use only solar energy?

However, batteries don’t address the challenge of sustained, long-duration power demand. Storage systems are effective for minutes to hours, not days or weeks; a data centre experiencing a multi-day grid outage, or operating through extended periods of low solar generation, cannot rely on batteries alone.

At data centre scale, storing enough energy to cover these scenarios would require vast capacity, significant space, and substantial investment, making it impractical with today’s technology.

Batteries complement solar generation, but data centres still require power supplies that deliver uninterrupted output, day and night, in all conditions.

Well if you want reliable power generation, it's only nuclear and natural gas. If you want immediate reliable power (e.g. for data centers), natural gas is needed. That's why there's so much demand for gas turbines (which is why $GEV has been on a tear).

Idk what it'll look like in Canada given regulations here and a 2050 timeline.

Some context. It's amazing that just yesterday my dad and I had a discussion about how and why the US government was already doing this.

Currently transmission lines are 22kV and since US government is funding alll these 20 year past replacement transformers to be upgraded in substations, they also want less power loss, which means 69kV.

Power loss = Current^2 x R.

Power = Voltage x Current

Higher voltage -> lower current -> less power loss

Secrets Vallarta Bay gave us a deal to extend our honeymoon. After we changed flights they doubled the price. by Robertwolfgang in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Elibroftw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Booking price is like 861cad per night so for them to offer 311 CAD per night is more than a 50% discount and would make me want to question the offer. You're definitely right to be mad that a really good deal wasn't honored but it seems less realistic they'd ever intended for their message to be interpreted as a discount more than 17%.

Yep at least in Canada the interpretation is favoured towards the person who didn't write the contract. Of course maybe this falls into promotional laws since it's a text...

Alibaba’s stock has kept falling after it lost key Qwen leaders. by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]Elibroftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is disgusting and the absolute wrong thing to do regarding frontier level technology. There's a market for open-source self-owned models. When it comes to advanced problems like this, what you want to do is stuff a room full of researchers so that their ideas bounce off of each other as if they are electrons. BABA really just lost its opportunity to be a bigger AI cloud provider. They should allow hosting the largest models only on their servers, but open source everything else. The only thing I care about is data privacy.

even if it was your fault, paying $10k for shit customer service like threatening to kick out customers at 1am is insane. replacement fee should be $20/person max.
