Because typically the resources for a particular AI job need to be centralized in order to obtain usable speeds. Even a machine with a decent 16GB GPU is going to lose speed swapping in and out of system RAM - though it does allow for larger models - so machines in a LAN can't currently split the workloads without significant efficiency losses. It's also why AI boards are typically using soldered LPDDR rather than swappable DIMM's (can't get an AI CPU with a non-soldered board).

Peers over the Internet would be abysmally slow or untenable for many workloads, at least with the way a lot of stuff is built currently.

HOWEVER, that's assuming monolithic non-specialized/optimized models. In the future as we see models built and trained for more specific jobs, it should be possible to have individual students run more as specialists and swap data. There are models that are specialized currently but not really an ecosystem for them:

• General LLM/Chat or
• Image recognition
• Image generation
• 3D Spatial navigation/manipulation
• Code generation/processing
• Network analysis
• Audio processing/generation
• Etc

If we think of something like creating an MMO (and assuming we didn't include the moral issues of AI generation), then a pipeline could have different assets building a soundtrack, 3d models, scenes/animation per a script, character voicing, various dialog, 3d world space mechanics, etc all running from different clustered machines

Many of the articles are in Swedish, so are subject to translation errors , but: It seems to mostly center around one of the co-CEO's personal donations to recent populist party that has hardline views regarding immigration. The other co-CEO spoke out against the donation but as it wasn't tied to the company there's likely not much more to be done there.

Absent a particular stance on such from Örebropartiet, I don't see how this is impactful to the nature of privacy under VPN's, and IMO is different from a CEO or founder fawning over a government that's actively creating a surveillance-state.

Yeah. It seems most time one of these criminals is outed it's a Hispanic name. Not sure if that's representative of the overall ICE population or they just do a better job at hiding/protecting the white dudes committing crimes

I have a picture in my head of Death hanging out on a lounge chair saying "Donald what? Why would I ever want him".

Then a zoom out and all the good ones are all just chillin' together with ol' Grim.

Soverin for email. Been trying various options for VPN including Mullvad

Yup. This presidency is but an example of how a man became great, but rather how an institution became increasingly foul.

Unfortunately I can't send a message by cancelling. Fortunately it's because I already saw their CEO was a fascist-supporting duck dickwad who only paid lip service to privacy/security in the name of profit (so I went with different companies for my VPN/email/etc needs).

Overseas versions of domestic chains often seem to be better, presumably because people there wouldn't put up with substandard fare or to make market entry easier.

KFC in Asia is pretty good. Pizza Hut locations are actually a decent dining experience as well.

An exception to this would be the Tim Hortons stores they tried to open in Korea. Just as meh as here - maybe with less hobo BO in the corner table - and you could get better, fresher options within a block for the same price or better.

I read this a bit differently. How much does the AI agent actually know about me? It probably has internal directives to not disclose exactly how much information it - or the parent company- has profiled, but prompts like this might be a workaround to learning how much they've really got on me.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure most R voters are just looking for the letter next to the name and not the name itself these days

Foot doesn't have enough holes in it yet, apparently

For people that promote one over the other, my answer is always "why not both"?

Areas that are good for nuclear are likely not as good for solar or wind. The latter two are generally more sustainable, but also more temperamental towards environmental conditions for output.

So my thought is, built all three in the locations best suited to whatever, and also build to storage capacity where possible to manage peak/off-peak loads.
