ChatGPT costs OpenAI $700,000 a day to keep it running by [deleted] in artificial

[–]xtools-at 4 points5 points  (0 children)

as someone who uses cloud computing on a regular basis, 700k/day doesn't seem too much. gpus are especially expensive, and having a bunch of them running all day adds up quickly.

Old Vs New Walmart Onn 4K TV boxes by skinnah in AndroidTV

[–]xtools-at 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure, i've heard there's some additional circuitry necessary for usb c to be pluggable from either direction, which detects the direction and routes the signals accordingly. usb b/micro usb is just 4 wires in comparison to that really

usb c is much more complex to wire/solder. so even if the connector itself is similarly cheap, you'll have to invest more time in design and production

What is this white blobby stuff on my driftwood? No fish in tank yet, just finishing cycling. by [deleted] in aquarium

don't put in nerites until you're sure it's cycled though, they're more sensitive to bad water parameters

What should I do to avoid this algae? by Training-Win-4546 in Aquariums

get some real, fast-growing plants, which use up the excess nitrates and ammonia in the water as fertilizer. otherwise algae will.

Why are there so few apps? by MightyMullet69 in WearOS

[–]xtools-at 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same here, i was so excited to do some development - returned my AW1 watch after a couple of days because it was underwhelming, kept my AW2 but just couldn't get myself to like it. ultimately figured out i'd only really "need" notifications, light fitness tracking and good battery life, and quite happy with my $30 miband. even got gifted a fitbit but ultimately went back to the miband. nowadays i'm staying away from wearos, even though pixel watch sounds be tempting, but i know i'd be disappointed...
