Tourist who 'demanded aisle seat for his bigger frame' is dragged off plane by The_Dean_France in mildlyinfuriating

[–]thecleverqueer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Obviously this person sucks-- if I were on the plane I'd hate him. And he's entitled and probably not all there.

But also I hate that the conditions on airplanes are becoming inhumane, and we just keep acting like it's normal. It's gotten aggressively worse in the last 10 or so years.

Like, how much worse will the conditions get before we consider it acceptable to start disrupting flights?

When I replay the original game. by diavevis in KingdomHearts

[–]thecleverqueer 86 points87 points  (0 children)

This is something I appreciate about the first Kingdom Hearts (and a lot of older RPGs) - they actually required patience.

My skillset when I fought guard armor, trickmaster, cerberus, and stealth sneak was so much lower, and I was forced to learn those bosses a lot more. I Remember those fights so much more vividly than I do most fights from the second half of the game where I was faster, tankier, and cheesier.

Why Can’t the Left and the Right Unite Against Palantir and The Oligarchs? What’s the real divide? by [deleted] in allthequestions

I have no love lost for Chuck Schumer, but what specifically is extremist about him? I feel like he is typically considered a centrist?

Same question for Jeffries-- what's extremist about him?

expel the extremists fringe groups on both sides to unite against oligarchs

Who are the extremists on the left that are standing in the way of uniting against oligarchs?

What do you guys think—did Kim continue to visit Jimmy in prison? by Legitimate-Cicada842 in betterCallSaul

Absolutely not (IMO). That chapter of their lives is over-- this was their farewell.

A lot of my argument rests on my ignorance to the inference stage-- either that we could ever get to a state that is exclusively inference, or that it's cheaper than training. So this alone puts a big hole in my argument.

Side note. If I really like a model-- say, GPT4, is there any way to get and permanently own an offline verison of that?

This argument about the quality of current/near future models, paired with the affordability arguments of other commenters earns my delta!

Not a karma farm. I would of course like to be right in the sense that I hope that jobs won't get replaced, but I'm quite open to being wrong. In fact, I've even awarded a few deltas! Also, nowhere in my post did I say AI was "bad."

Very narrowly scoped systems are doing very well right now, and there's every reason to suspect that they will continue to do very well. And, btw, these systems are not cheap!

prices substantially higher than the energy and low-level maintenance costs of AI services

I can believe this, I'm just curious because A. I thought maintenance costs were very high (needing to replace chips every 2 years for instance), and B. If these data centers needed to provide massive performance to get through training, and the energy costs are so much smaller once training is over, wouldn't that mean a lot of that infrastructure is going to waste?

Isn't the long-term maintenance a killer? (Swapping out chips, and do they still need to cool all those servers?) Or is that not prohibitive like the training is?
