If Trump was in my living room, I’d spit in his face. He’s so far removed from how I live my life, it’s hard for me to even acknowledge people like him exist.

Hahaha, that hardware is built to be as cheap as possible so they can make money on this scam of a product. I doubt the people making it even know what a TPM is from everything else we’ve seen.
Thanks for the links. I was able to find the original source for that claim, which has actually usage numbers: https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/18f3ed24-4b26-4c83-a3d2-8a1be51c8cc8/Electricity2024-Analysisandforecastto2026.pdf
0.3Wh / request for Google 2.9Wh / request for ChatGPT
That does however reference the same paper as your linked articles, which I can’t find without a paywall: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2542435123003653?dgcid=author
I’d love to know how they came up with that number for ChatGPT, but it looks like I was a bit off with my estimates regardless. There’s probably some scaling efficiencies they’re taking advantage of at that size.
I’m not sure that’s even a valid comparison? I’d love to know where you got that data point.
LLMs run until they decide to output an end-of-text token. So the amount of power used will vary massively depending on the prompt.
Search results on the other hand run nearly instantaneously, and can cache huge amounts of data between requests, unlike LLMs where they need to run every request individually.
I’d estimate responding to a typical ChatGPT query uses at least 100x the power of a single Google search, based on my knowledge of databases and running LLMs at home.
No, there’s definitely a science to this. It’s the same reason sandwiches taste better if you cut them in a triangle. The sharp points make for the perfect bite size.
A quadratic function is just one possible polynomial. They’re also not really related to big-O complexity, where you mostly just care about what the highest exponent is: O(n^2) vs O(n^3)
.
For most short programs it’s fairly easy to determine the complexity. Just count how many nested loops you have. If there’s no loops, it’s probably O(1)
unless you’re calling other functions that hide the complexity.
If there’s one loop that runs N times, it’s O(n)
, and if you have a nested loop, it’s likely O(n^2)
.
You throw out any constant-time portion, so your function’s actual runtime might be the polynomial: 5n^3 + 2n^2 + 6n + 20
. But the big-O notation would simply be O(n^3)
in that case.
I’m simplifying a little, but that’s the overview. I think a lot of people just memorize that certain algorithms have a certain complexity, like binary search being O(log n)
for example.
Renting out cabins and beach houses makes way more sense, since those are typically places you wouldn’t live in full time. The rest of the short term housing rentals end up driving up the cost of living.
We’re talking about legally, not practically. Obviously copying movies is physically possible.
Damn, $1500 is actually a great price for a 4090. If only…
Edit: I don’t know how I got here. I just realized this post is 4 months old.
Dang, I can’t even be mad with a face like that.
Pretty sure at that range they’re dead no matter what. May as well crack one last joke.
That doesn’t seem worth it when you can fit that amount of storage in about 20 L with lithium ion cells (think a small PC case), or something like 40 L if you used sodium ion cells, which are looking like a new alternative.
Concrete offgassing of CO2 is already a big contributor to greenhouse gasses, so I can’t imagine this battery version is improving things there. You’d probably have to wire your whole basement with electrodes to even access the stored energy.
You can search for them, but I think the one I have is similar to a Uni Kuru Toga pencil. I don’t write as much as I used to, but it’s awesome for taking notes.
Mechanical pencils for the win! Did you know there’s even ones that rotate the lead for you as you write so there’s always a sharp point?
It’s sad that the best most startups can hope for is to be bought by a giant corporation. Not a lot of people are interested in just having a successful long-term business.
It’s sad probably 90% of this stuff won’t make it back to it’s original owner. Who’s still got serial numbers or receipts for something they bought in 2014? Most people will have moved on or had insurance replacements already
I’m not a professional, but all my powertools are covered under my renter’s/hone insurance. It’s incredibly cheap compared to car or health insurance.
Edit: I guess this doesn’t count if the tools are stored in a vehicle parked anywhere but in my garage. There’s definitely some policies available that will cover the full contents of your vehicle though.
This is the true “We did it Reddit” moment.
Damn, I didn’t even see that until you pointed it out. I would have died.
