Who’s out here censoring tits? The OP? That’s dumb, you can swear on the internet.
Someone else? Maybe go get a fresh screenshot.
FIVE tits? That’s disgusting, where is it?
I already found a LoRa for multiple breasts once so… Yeah…

You dont gotta explain yourself for nobody
They don’t gotta never not explain themselves for nobody
🤔
Don’t = -1
Never = -1
Not = -1
-1 * -1 * -1 = -1
~ They don’t have to explain themselves for nobody.
So it’s the same comment.
Let me know if I have made a mistake.Nobody is a negation (not anybody). So they do have to explain themselves to somebody
Formally yes, but I believe that’s an (American English?) informal way of speaking where “nobody” actually means “anybody”. Similarly to how “I don’t need no man” means “I don’t need any man”.
Of course, but I don’t never need to be told nothing like that from nobody when I’m commenting in a pedantic language thread! /s
With how much communities can quickly become echo chambers, even more on community with strong opinions, there’s always going to be that one person that takes offence.
So better be safe than having to proactively explain.
That’s kind of the point. If someone is offended by something, fuck 'em.
You don’t have to explain yourself for nobody.

I wonder what that last word is.
Tots. A girl with five tots. She has this cookbook:
Tuts. She’s very British.
tats, short for tattoos.
It is a mistery.
Why didn’t you post those 5 boob women pictures?
I miss the internet where we tricked our friends into looking at a picture of a man’s gaping asshole with zero consequences instead of the one where you have to put a little manual strike through “tits” just in case somewhere an algorithm will autoban you for it.
Honestly who keeps doing that crap because things aren’t that locked down fuck sake.
A family member had this “infamous” email chain. The subject was good, not spammy or obvious, but generic enough to be innocuous.
Length was perfect. Layers of FWDs, pages of them. Enough that you scroll to the point that you’re about to give up, but can’t.
At this point you’re not really even paying attention to the email, you’re just sadistic enough to have to reach the end of the email…
That’s when you look back at the email & there’s a woman goatse’ing you with an apple up her butt.

Tbh, I don’t miss that. Neither do I miss spacedicks.

Why is the word tits censored? Also I am going to see these women with five boobs to evaluate the claim.
Yes, I’m also curious of where the results of such devilry are posted.
To avoid them.
But there are so many AI adult image sites.
Which one?
Listen here sassy missy, we need to advance AI. The human workforce is not going to replace itself you know.
if we keep complaining we will never make it to ten tots
I still want to know why tits was censored
Its l worse than that, its got nothing to do with replacing humans. Its entirely Venture Capalist porn full of hot air. Truely amazing how much money is being wasted on a word predictor.
I thought the whole point of cheap human labor is that it replaces itself
Cities asking residents to use less power is largely due to the fact that most cities have no direct policy power to regulate electricity use. Electricity use is primarily the domain of state/provider policy. Cities asking residents to lower power usage is thereby an ask for residents to collectively work to avoid brown/black out situations for the collective good. Messaging like this without a similar ask to the tech/industrial community would still be short sighted at best.
Yeah we just found out (we as a city knew, just without confirmation) who the ‘mystery’ business is that’s building a server farm on the outskirts of city limits. And they’ve got a 10 year tax break from the city on the land.
I’ll turn my AC down when google turns their Power Plans to Eco for those servers
A couple of years back, the official Twitter account of some police force (Maryland?) made a post during a heat wave that was like, “dear criminals: it’s hot as balls outside, can we call a truce and postpone crime for a few days so none of us has to be out there in it? Thanks”
79F/26C is a pretty reasonable day-time temperature…
Depends on the person and what they were acclimated to as the norm in an area. I start to get increasingly disfunctional starting at about 75f, once it gets to 80f it is difficult for me to focus on tasks that aren’t directly related to cooling myself down, and 85f+ my day is a wash
Medical conditions also play a role in it. I’m on medications that make me wicked susceptible to overheating. I start melting at 75°F if there is even a mild amount of humidity. And that’s at home where I can dress comfortably.
You gotta condition yourself to it. Don’t start at 80F, but work your way up to it over spring.
This is the way to go. Without conditioning I’d die when running at 30C. But with gradually rising temperatures you get accustomed to it. There are nicer things in life but it’s absolutely possible
I’ve spent years trying to figure out how to acclimate it never works, I really wish it would I just don’t think I’m built like that. My solution has been to move to colder places which is having mixed results with the planet heating faster than I can move
Are you a hairy person, by any chance? I am, and trimming my body hair added like 8F to my heat tolerance.
Body hair, I have effectively none barely even leg hair. My head hair does grow in very thick though and this season I’m experimenting with shaved sides see how much it helps
What different people can handle is wild. I mowed yesterday through 98° weather. It was miserably fucking hot, but I wasn’t impaired.
However, when it’s slightly below freezing and we get half an inch of snow? Everything shuts down for a week and no one can function.
Yeah and I thrive below freezing lol. My mood improves, I have more energy, I get very excited and active, bonus points if it has been overcast for months I love that shit. Honestly I think I have SAD the opposite direction of most people
I have a problem with the cold. Mainly that I never know how much I need to wear.
Like a good Northerner, I layer my clothes, and if I wear too many, I end up sweating. It’s terrible to have a sweaty body while my hands, feet, and face freeze. If I wear too few clothes, then I’m just cold all over.
I can’t seem to regulate adequately. I’m always either too hot or too cold.
If it’s hot out, then I’m just hot all over. It seems worse, but it’s actually much easier to cope with.
I just want to be a consistent temperature.
Cool weather, like between freezing and like 20C/68F, I’m pretty golden. On the low end, a light jacket with a sweater, and on the higher end, just a light sweater or something and I’m fine. Anything below zero… I’m generally uncomfortable.
No
Incredible insight give this one a best of post lol
I find 27⁰C comfortable when not moving at home.
Yeah, that’s my default summer daytime temperature. But, a lot of that is because I don’t want my hvac unit running 24/7.
I was talking to a bud the other day and we realized that hooking up AC to a solar panel might be a good idea. You usually only use AC if it’s sunny and hot so the solar panel would be in perfect conditions. I don’t think I’ve heard of people doing this, beyond people who just run their house on solar. I wonder if it would be viable or feasable to hook up the hvac to solar and a battery.
Considering AC is the largest electricity consumer in almost any home that has it by a large margin, if you are running your AC off solar then you might as well run the rest of your house off solar. It would be very little extra work.
Maybe if you’re down south but us northerners start sweating at 20c
Acclimation just takes practice. Its not like southerners are genetically different. And plenty of southerns have the same problem because they’re willing to pay like $500/month to keep their houses an icebox in the summer and don’t spend time outside in the summer…
While Tru but at the same time southerners have all year long to acclimate to hot weather meanwhile people up north have to go to work in the cold winter half the year and only have the summer to acclimate to hot weather
Lmao, not even at all
Blinks repeatedly with mouth wide open in British
Nah, anything over 22° sucks in the sun
Signed, A Canadian
It’s 26.7c @ 62% humidity in my office right now. It’s fine (the aircon will kick on monetarily to bring the humidity back down). However, had you asked me this years ago, I would have thought you were insane. I lived in a much cooler place and people had the air on all summer set down to like 22c. I’ve gotten used to my new climate (well, more used to it, anyway), and it helps that I don’t have to go spend all day in an office whose temperature I don’t control.
Yeah, there was definitely a point where I’d have thought the same. Then I started shifting the setpoint up little by little. It’s something that takes time. But if you spend a lot of time in a place that keeps it way too cold all day, it’s harder to adapt. I guess you could just intentionally overdress, so you are a bit warm despite the cold temperature, but that seems like a waste.
Where I live 26ºC is a cool day, when an AC is on 17ºC I’m trembling and smacking teeth.
The WHO recommended a minimum indoor temp of 18º C (and a max of 24º C) for health purposes (and assuming appropriate clothing) back in 1987 (and they still stand by the lower bound, though the upper is locale dependent - e.g., 21-22º in Boston vs 30º in Thailand), so I’m not surprised that dipping below that is unpleasant.
“hey lady, priorities!”
Well, the only different is who use AI to generate trash are rich, and who need power is under-privi people.
Not a fan of disinformation so I’ll post this here as well:
I run ComfyUI locally on my own Laptop and generating an image takes 4 seconds, during which my 3070 Laptop GPU uses 80 Watts (the maximum amount of power it can use). It also fully uses one of the 16 threads of my i7-11800H (TDP of 45W). Let’s overestimate a bit and say it uses 100% of the CPU (even though in reality it’s only 6.25%), which adds 45 watts resulting in 125 watts (or 83 watts if you account for the fact that it only uses one thread).
That’s 125 watts for 4 seconds for one image, or about 0.139 WH (0.000139KWH). That would be 7200 images per KWH. Playing one hour of Cyberpunk on a PS5 (assuming 200 watts) would be equivalent to me generating 1440 images on my laptop.

Have you met men?
Daily reminder that two different things can be bad at the same time.
Sure, but neither will be fixed with voluntary action. Both will point to the other as a reason to do nothing.
We need legislation and regulation to require energy efficiency and clean energy production. If that means kWh get more expensive, then that is the true price of energy. Cheap, deregulated energy is writing checks our grandchildren will have to cash.
100 sq meters of solar cells per house (with batteries and inverters) should do a lot of good.
How big is your house? My roof is covered where it’s practical and efficient to do so and I only have about 10 sq meters.
so like 100 square feet?
Centralization is more efficient and less wasteful.
For energy generation, being close to the point of usage prevents waste from energy transport. For energy storage it’s probably more efficient to do this at larger scale, which means centralized systems.
So I think it’s more complicated and depends on a lot of factors. Stating “Centralization is more efficient and less wasteful” as a hard fact is misleading at best.
Though the rooftop solar isn’t optimal from an efficacy standpoint, it has other selling points. You have residential solar and a battery? Congratulations, you don’t have to worry so much about power outages. This is particularly a selling point for rural living, where outages happen more often and last longer.
The abstract “it’s greener” is a less potent sales pitch than “your fridge, heating, and a/c can still work even if the grid is gone”.
It could just be the same thing. Total houses in community. Apply solar cells to already owned government land or near where the current plant is anyway like most already have been doing. Just scale up and add wind in. Salt batteries all over. Bam.
Having centralized solar doesn’t preclude a homeowner from also installing solar, and decentralized green energy has other advantages over centralized green energy.
less wasteful
Where’s the waste? If you collect more than you use, you can store it or send it back to the grid. If this is an efficiency concern (“you’re collecting less energy than the same amount of paneling would”), then it’s not really relevant as by that same logic, not having solar is “more wasteful” than having it.
The waste is if it’s truly decentralized then everyone needs to be able to provide enough for their individual peak while a centralized system can be made to handle the highest peak of the day for many households while also providing enough for people whose peak is at different hours.
From a material requirement perspective being able to provide just what we need and not more is the most efficient. Batteries are great, the material required to make them still has a huge environmental impact and isn’t unlimited.
If everyone has solar panels on their roof, you can still have the central grid and you can still share power from house-to-house, though.
Generally speaking, decentralized solar refers to a centralized grid that is heavily augmented with decentralized solar, not “truly decentralized” solar.
This isn’t a nuclear reactor: one could have a bunch of PVCs on a solar farm or divided by 10 000s of homeowners.
The beauty of solar is it scales up/down without much fuss whereas you can’t just run a coal fire plant for your home. We can build what makes sense for each community/home.
Sure, but it’s more efficient to have the number of panels necessary for the community (neighborhood, city, etc) than having everyone get what they need for their individual peak…
Depending on the housing density, probably but not always. Again, we don’t have to determine this from the beginning. We can adapt the scale and approach to each circumstance. I imagine buy and large having one central array of solar panels feeding several properties/communities makes the most sense. But how many properties (and their average draw) per sq/km or sq/mi very much impacts what that translates into.

AI isn’t yet slurping any significantly obscene amount of power from the grid, although as it gets more ubiquitous that will surely change. The individual data centers are massive things but they are outnumbered by orders of magnitude by all the rest of it
The big villain in senseless datacenter power usage is cryptocurrency
Plus most of the rest of it, of course, acres of racks burning through the world’s resources to run the world’s ten millionth pink slime news factory or Youtube click fakery cluster, or whatever
But AI isn’t yet adding its useless weight to the groaning pile in any significant way
Based on what, your gut feeling?
Here’s an article based directly on Microsoft’s own sustainability reports outright saying that their electricity consumption has gone up 30% because of AI: https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/microsoft-reveals-the-energy-impact-of-artificial-intelligence
This is a pretty good article about it, with this being the relevant graph:
:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25245947/Screenshot_2024_01_24_at_11.23.05_AM.png)
Like I say, it’s going to become a significant thing, and I’m sure for the tiny fraction of all the world’s data centers that are operated by Microsoft specifically it already is, but it isn’t yet, on a global scale.
Is that the verge as a source
Not really. The primary sources for the chart are actually in the image, and there’s a link in the Verge article if you’re able to read academic papers.
It was a joke
?
I still do not understand the joke then
The verge put out a really terrible PC building guide about 5 years ago which hurt their reputation. So the joke is just that the verge isn’t trust worthy.
But that was 5 years ago and they corrected their mistakes since.
Fair, but it’s pretty much on track to be the new crypto of energy usage. We’re just a few years out for it to get fully ramped up
Sure, crypto is certainly worse.
But ChatGPT uses the equivalent power of 17,000 households according to this article.
In other words, 17 million households can all turn off the AC when they are not home and the savings can run like 100 chatGPTs
Doing a rough comparison: 500k KWh * 365 / 240 billion KWh= ChatGPT uses ~0.076% of the power that Crypto uses.
Just to put Crypto into perspective.
PS: The 500k is from the article (which states it’s per day), and the 240 billion for crypto is the first result I saw from Google, so take with a grain of salt.
edit: I only just now saw which space (?) this is from. Please don’t bully me, I’m only here for the discussion (which so far has been civil).
it’s also completely useless, and even it’s hyped up by the same people who sticked around crypto when it was a thing
It’s not completely useless, it just not the silver fucking bullet that the cryptobros promised it was. It can do a lot of cool shit, but we keep trying to make it do things it’s really not equipped to do.
They’re talking about “AI”, not crypto, the crypto bros part of their comment is about it being the same people that jumped on the crypto wagon and defend the energy waste.
I was using cryptobros as a proxy for the people that hyped AI. I feel like that venn diagram is a circle.
Fair enough and I agree
I feel
Well as long as you feel it is true.
And if I use “I feel” instead of a more concrete assertion, it’s clear from context that I don’t have any data to back that up off hand and am implicitly making a wider assertion that the people they hyped crypto are the same or akin to the people who are hyping AI.
Feel free to disprove me.
Not on me to disprove your, cough… argument…cough.
Learn how standards of evidence work. “I feel” you got some reading to do.
I love this mindset. It’s so regressive, it’s like watching old people form
for the “value” it provides (automated spam, new wave of deepfakes and tailor made propaganda, facilitating layoffs with genai as a failed replacement, and most importantly of all hyping openai stock) any amount of resources spent is a massive waste
Eh. I’ve built multiple apps in very short succession thanks to GPT. I don’t really care if people think it’s useful or not, I know it is.
Osrs already has free to play no?
It’s an old name I had from Reddit :p. I kept it because some people recognized it
your post-gpt output seems to consist mostly of runescape bots?
While I appreciate how much you must have looked into my profile to find that, I was actually referring to the startup I worked at in South Korea for half a year. The impact I landed there paved the way for me to get my current job at Meta.
(RuneScape bots are something I write on the weekend to wind down from work)
Get better at profile stocking or maybe get chatgpt to do it for you haha
Who exactly is replenishing their storefront shelves in this conversation? And with profiles?
You should probably start asking ChatGPT to proofread your comments, too.

You’re being made obsolete by your own tool and you don’t even realize it.
It’s so far off being able to make software, it’s smart but will never be that smart… Well if it does we’re all done for.
It’s a fantastic tool for getting a layout for your code however.
How far off is it from being able to make code well enough that your immediate manager, with basic coding skills, can just do it? Because that’s going to happen to a lot of people and soon.
The only developers made obsolete by IDEs coming around were those who continued to code in
ed
Mate you’re babbling like an old man too. Spam has been automated for a long time. Deepfakes are indeed a problem I agree, but again Photoshop has existed for a long time. Tailor made propaganda has existed as long as civilization has existed. Companies in tech space hand their staff layoffs and hiring in cycles, AI was just the latest excuse. And OpenAI isn’t even publicly traded.
Stop talking shit and touch grass.
Rather than merely wagging the finger at each weekly villain, we should work towards policy that internalizes the cost of energy.
