What is this obsession with pedophilia? I'm really getting rather suspicious of MAGA. I suspect your average Catholic priest or Southern Baptist youth pastor thinks about nude children less than most MAGA individuals.

No, because the Americans are number 2 net emitters. They're worse.

Careful with your terminology. Chinese emissions are running triple those of the US.

If you think per capita matters, try asking the atmosphere to kindly retain less heat for the gas contributions by China, since more humans are clustered on the land mass.

The best measure for personal responsibility, but arguably the worst for actually doing a damn thing to solve the problem. Sparsely populated or isolated countries contribute little of the total while scoring high per individual.

Qatar per capital co2 is something like 900% of the global average, but they emit 0.3% of the world's total. Meanwhile, India is a well behaved and below average 40% per capita emitter while being the third largest emitter at 7.6% of the total.

Palau is the undisputed per capita king at almost 1300% of global average. But at 0.004% net, they could disappear tomorrow and not change things at all.

So if you want to actually change the trajectory, per capita is a red herring. You address the net offenders first. Sure, everybody should pitch in, but where you spend your outrage capital matters. It only serves to let some folks feel righteous indignation.

Elon Musk compensation package:

And:

So, Tesla has to generate $8.5 Trillion in revenue over the next ten years for Musk to get $1 Trillion in stock... If the company doesn't meet those targets, he doesn't get the stock.

Quote>I agree that people SHOULD want smaller trucks, or—get this—CARS, but the big car companies love their margins. Ford's eliminated every passenger car in their lineup except for the Mustang (even the Mustang Mach-e is classified as an SUV for some reason).

People want smaller pickups, just look at the market for older small pickups... The issue is there is little profit in passenger cars, there is big profit in big pickups and SUVs. If you can make a quality, attractive economical passenger car, you'll sell a ton of them (Honda Accord?) but that's hard - on the other hand, you can make much, much more selling big expensive pickup trucks/SUVs.

The ICE F150 is a huge seller, we're talking about the $100K EV F150.

Ford makes obscene profits on ICE F150s, it suffers obscene losses on EV F150s.

See the difference.

What?

They lose money on every EV F-150 they sell.

To continue making them is non-sensical. What can Ford sell that generates enough PROFIT to at least offset the LOSSES of every F-150 EV?

They have a huge unsold inventory of $100K pickup trucks, why keep making more F-150 EVs just to park them in an airport parking lot somewhere?

This is the only tool left in the entire Democratic toolkit. If you're saying that the Democrats should simply do whatever the Republicans say for the first two years, then I hope you were saying the same thing to the Republicans during the Obama/Biden terms.

If I thought the Democrats were being unreasonable, I'd say so. But their demand is specific, narrow, and reasonable. The fact that Trump just doesn't want to concede one iota should not put the onus on the Democrats to cave.

"Let the tyrant do as he pleases because he'll burn it all down to get his way" isn't reasonable or right. Anybody suggesting it is is just straight up happy to have a strong arm dictator at the helm.

Well, i suspect the union was brought in to raise worker pay and benefits, which could make a facility no longer cost-effective...

Just saying, i doubt the unions were trying to figure out ways to reduce labor costs...

"Most countries" don't matter, it matters in the country these workers live and work in...

No. Like any software, AI requires maintenance, and that maintenance costs money, lots of money.

It does not. Models need nothing more than the storage of some gigs of weights, and a GPU capable of running them.

If you mean "the information goes stale", one, that doesn't happen at all with RAG. And two, updating information with a finetune or even LORA is not a resource-intense task. It's making new foundations that is immensely resource intensive.

Can you integrate it into your products and work flow?

Yes, with precisely the difficulty level of any other API.

Can you train it on your own data?

With much less difficulty than trying to do that with a closed model.

I agree. Make liberal use of the "Don't recommend this channel" feature, keep your feed tidy, and there's amazing stuff out there.

Be your own advocate. Ruthlessly police rabbit holes, and watchdog the quality of your thought.

And watch funny pet videos once in a while. They're a mental palate cleanser, with little down side.

It's easy to rag on Gen-Y/Z for attention problems and the like, but the ecosystem that birthed them was built by... us. The Gen X and millennials took the technology and built the capability-destroying entities on top of it.

I can't blame them for the world they were born into. We're beta testing a whole new way of being on them. And they'll pay the price. That sucks. So while it irks me to see people failing at the basics of communication, I cannot ascribe it to personal failings on their part.
