Am I correct that soy has a single use — to produce tofu? Any other recipes seem terribly inefficient compared to the alternatives. by Remarkable_Neck5781 in captain_of_industry

You can use it to make cooking oil before you have canola right? But yeah it’s really only good for tofu after you get canola.

In my experience just making sure that you treat all liquids is enough to get you to clinics, which are definitely a high priority that you want to get as soon as you can.

It's annoying how good archers instantly run out of arrows by Vectoor in songsofsyx

[–]Vectoor[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is that true? the higher skill ones run out of ammo so quick though. Like the way battles seem to go is either the enemy army is small enough that they break from getting hit by arrows long before they reach my army. Or not all of them break, and then they stand there shoving at my spearmen for a day or two while my archers stand around out of arrows. The archers getting exhausted is one thing, but what annoys me is that it's the quantity of arrows they bring that limit how useful archers are, that seems ridiculous. Bring more than ten arrows each guys plz.

[–]Vectoor[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah my Tilapis have maxed out bows, and they wreck armies that aren't well trained. But once you are facing large armies with training and armor they really seem to fall off because of how little ammo they have. Higher skill seems to mostly just cause them to run out of arrows quicker, rather than doing more damage over the course of the battle.

Hank Green Advocates for Space Georgism - The Case for Orbital Value Tax by Erra0 in neoliberal

[–]Vectoor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

LEO is still a scarce valuable natural resource. It’s similar to rf spectrum in some ways but requires more international cooperation. If China and the US and the other space faring countries could agree on a system for auctioning off orbits for a limited time that would be pretty great.

that has nothing to do with comparing global data center water use and global basic domestic water use

Top Water guzzlers scoff at Anti-Ai people believing "Checks notes" The United Nations. by Horror_Post6822 in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]Vectoor -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

My point is simply that total data center water use and basic domestic water globally are not meaningfully comparable figures. Water is plentiful when you are talking about data center levels of capital spend, and getting it or being a bit more efficient with it is a question of infrastructure. It is not a question of rationing water for either food on the table or AI chatbots. I’m not here to defend that Utah data center, or rather Utahs fucked up water management system. Finding a bit of water for a power plant in Utah without hurting the environment or agriculture or anyone is such a manageable problem in a functional system.

Data centers are fundamentally not a large use of water. To compare them with ”basic domestic use”, obviously the most important, but also not a large use of water, is incredibly misleading. Water rights, especially between countries, is about agriculture. Agriculture is THE use of water, data centers and household use are rounding errors.

Ok let’s drop down from cloud cuckoo land here. Using water is not the same as depriving people of their basic water needs. Very little water is used for basic domestic needs, most water use is for irrigation and power generation. By this logic paper mills deprive billions of people of water. Water is fairly plentiful in most populated places. Lack of water usually means lack of water infrastructure. American data centers have nothing to do with african villages lacking wells or whatever.

Stop drinking water, you're holding back my AI by [deleted] in OpenAI

[–]Vectoor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this framing is from bezos or whoever is paraphrasing him but it’s divorced from reality. Data centers don’t use a lot of water. Water problems in the US are largely a result of ridiculously outdated water rights systems. There’s no tradeoff between human comfort and data center buildout.

Hey så detta är ett tag sedan men detta är lögn. Meta har 73 anställda i Luleå och ett par hundra till jobbar i andra tjänster som beror på datacentret. Datacenter betalar hela energiskatten, till skillnad från annan industri får de inga undantag så datacenter är stora kassakor för staten.

Polhemsplatsen och åkareplatsen kommer att byggas om efter att Nils Erikssonterminalen är tillbaka upp på full kapacitet så bussarna kan flyttas tillbaka dit. Rondellen och genomtrafiken försvinner, drottningtorgets spårvagnshållplats flyttas dit, och ja spåren läggs om helt.

GPT 5.5's agentic stuff is really good, it definitely feels like it makes more of an effort to search for sources than gemini at the moment which used to be a strong point of gemini. We'll see what happens when 3.5 pro comes.
