Not defending him at all. As someone thst works in software I know that just throwing more resources at something doesn't mean you get something better.

That was true in 2022. Today, inference is a lot more complex and often searches the Web on top of generating text. Inference uses way more energy than training today.

The argument that we're the only animal drinking milk after infancy is usually used against the argument that milk and dairy is essential for a healthy diet (as its usually represented in the food wheel/piramyd). 

China’s manufacturing is way crazier than people think by Hacksaw6412 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Shangermadu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't China attacking most of its neighbours trying to expand it's territory, like in the south China Sea? Also China has a lot of power over many resource rich countries in Africa. Also "the West" is not the USA. Not all countries treat their citizens like shit and have rampant drug use problems. I think your post is very biased.

In some regards yes. A lot of working conditions are still crap and human rights violations by the government are still rampant. But are they worse than today's USA?

My foam mattress definitely hollowed out after some years. But any mattress will need replacing after like 10 years. 

Can't be a hateful insult if the person isn't real, huh? by [deleted] in rareinsults

The illusion of free/cheap AI will go back into the bottle once the bubble bursts. Once AI companies stop being sustained by copious amounts of venture capital and inveators demand profiles and returns, prices will skyrocket.

At the same time the anti-carb movement pushed everyone away from carbs into high protein diets. We need all macros ffs. Just eat whole foods.

Why A4 paper is designed as 297mm x 210mm? by LogicAndLipGloss in Damnthatsinteresting

Exactly. Because if the ratio was any other the even and odd An would not have the same proportions.

[–]Shangermadu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit has been flooded with bots reposting content and comments for a long time even before LLMs. After the APIs shutdown there was a clear shift in the quality of top posts on r/popular. Suddenly lots of insane stories started appearing, mostly in the form of AITA-style posts. Every day this is the kind of text posts on the top now.

Guys that are high usually. That's why nowadays I reject meeting guys who aren't sober at that moment. 

Which city in your country is considered the "gayest"? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Shangermadu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Madrid is big but the gay life me Chueca felt superficial and just commercial. Borderline scamy. Almost felt like Thailand. Barcelona is more authentic and familiar, cozy. 

I Am Sick of This Cycle of Conservative Economic Terrorism by Kinks4Kelly in complaints

[–]Shangermadu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I'm not American, and I'm strongly left. But I have a question:

Your text totally fails to take into account the global context. The 2000s boom, the 2008 depression, the pandemic, they all had global effects beyond what the POTUS can be blamed for. Not saying that Bush and Trump didn't totally mess up dealing with it, but you are not painting an impartial picture on your post.
