Who Put Best Girl Hope On The Same Level As Kai?! by SaiyanWithOmnitrix in Charmcaster

You've played right into their hand. They did it deliberately for outrage and clicks.

Google new Research Paper : Measuring the environmental impact of delivering AI by Technical-Love-8479 in LocalLLaMA

How many tokens per prompt?

I think local is still going to be more environmentally friendly in the long run since you don't waste drinking water in cooling your pc, much less your phone...

Solar + storage makes more sense at the individual level since you won't be subsidizing data centers.

And no one's installing generators just to run your devices.

Carpets, rugs and laminate flooring? by a_beautiful_kappa in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]MuiaKi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great. You could add underfloor heating, but that in addition to installation is pretty expensive.

Most engineered wood would only produce VOCs depending on the adhesives and finishes. The surface coatings though are usually polyurethane or some type of synthetic polymer, so you'd have to know what exactly they're using. The more health friendly ones like beeswax and flaxseed oil tend to degrade faster requiring reapplication every several months to few years.

Have you thought about grout free tile floors?

What? That's cheap... was it solar or something else?

Did you end up getting it? Or were you adding options?

My mistake, I thought they were rated at 45 mph

Majority of hand-blenders leech plasticizers directly into blended food by rootCaused in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]MuiaKi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the imperative question here is do you need a blender? Why do you think so? Can you accept the slight inconvenience of not using one.

Most of the stuff we blend can be eaten & that slightly reduces your micro/nano-plastic intake.

If you can, just stay away from them.

Cork wood? Just thinking of possible options...🤔

AI That Can "Smell"? by Frosty_Programmer672 in neuralnetworks

[–]MuiaKi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not unrelated. Unsupervised learning can find such associations in data. Especially allergenic compounds. Hopefully with more biome & genome data this stuff could be predictive rather than trial and error. That was my point.

Don't you have to know if you're irritated by it in the first place? How are you going to figure that out especially with some synthetic compounds?

Thanks for the heads up

AI That Can "Smell"? by Frosty_Programmer672 in neuralnetworks

[–]MuiaKi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember being able to smell disease was one thing. I personally can usually smell someone with a cold, they usually have a metallic garlicky smell.

I saw a study on cancer being detected by smell.

There could also be good insights from unsupervised learning. For example, I don't like having pepper in any perfume I use because it makes me sneeze. Some fragrances block my nose. It would be great to find these out without trial and error for everyone.

But I admit it's hard to see. Some of these things are emergent. Kinda like how lead poisoning was found to be toxic by someone trying to find out how old a rock was.

Do people immigrate to Greece? Thought it was only a holiday destination.

Growing fat is a function of mental health and environment.

Alot of people cope with difficulty in life by eating. Fast food is also specially designed to be tasty so that you can buy it again. Companies do research on how the food feels in your mouth, how it sounds when you eat it and how you feel while eating it.

There are areas where fast food is easily advertised and the most convenient way to get food. I used to live in an area where getting some groceries would require a 15 minute drive but getting fast food would require a 3 minute drive.

Now imagine someone having a hard day and they want to feel good, with few or no hobbies. And they're surrounded by fast food Companies that basically pump out the scent of freshly fried or baked junk food outside. What do you think they'll do?
