I accidentally found another "you are on your own" in kernel docs

remember we are talking about drivers released under a GPL-compatible license here, if your code doesn’t fall under this category, good luck, you are on your own here, you leech

The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....

Large language models such as ChatGPT are some of the most energy-guzzling technologies of all. Research suggests, for instance, that about 700,000 litres of water could have been used to cool the machines that trained ChatGPT-3 at Microsoft’s data facilities.

This metric doesn't say anything.

Without temperature difference energy can't be derived. It's just useless data without it.

@uis@lemm.ee avatar

And even if it's not in closed loop, water probably goes back to river at worst. Better option is using computers as preheating stage in central heating system.

Torrents. Their hashes are derived from hashes of chunks. Just verify chunks.

That wouldn't distribute the load of storing it though. Anyone on the torrent would need to set aside 100PBs of storage for it, which is clearly never going to happen.

Torrents are designed for incomplete storage of data. You can store and verify few chunks without any problem.

You'd want a federated (or otherwise distributed) storage scheme where thousands of people could each contribute a smaller portion of storage, while also being accessible to any federated client.

Torrents. You may not have entirety of data, but you can request what you need from swarm. The only limitation is you need to know in which chunk data you need.

Ideally you'd have more than that so that a single node going down doesn't mean permanent data loss.

True.

~300MB/s on one core of 13-years old i5 SHA-256(used in BitTorrent v2). Newer cores can about half a gig per one. Less than 3 days on one core then. Less than day on 3 cores.*

* assuming no additional performance penalty for increased power consumption and memory bandwith usage

My guess storage bandwidth would be biggest bottleneck.

Found relatively old article(in Russian, just search for openssl and look at graph that mentions SHA-512 which is SHA-2 too) that says i7-2500 all-cores throughput is slightly over 1GB/s.

Not-super-fun fact: you can measure in metric with school notebook paper.

https://basket-01.wbbasket.ru/vol95/part9594/9594259/images/big/2.webp

Each sqare is 0.5 by 0.5 cm.

EDIT: 0.5 cm, not mm. For measuring 0.5mm I can use 0.5 mm mechanical pencil lead.

Also there is coordinate paper:

Sadly, ISO in recent decade started to do bullshit. They don't pay for standard development, they don't employ anyone for standard development, they collect membership fees from national standards organizations, require payment to download most standards and don't allow to copy published standards. Also they retroactively paywalled a lot of standards.

Russia enters the chat.

Same. It is done with National Payment System of Cards law, which people usually call "MIR cards". It started as replacement system for visa and mastercard, but evolved into System of Fast Payments/Transactions.

You can use it in three ways: enter recepient's card number, enter recepient's phone number or use qr code.

Correcting myself: 0.5 cm, not mm.

For graphs you can use graph paper with 1 mm grid.

It's the same when people say Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants to restore the glory of the Soviet Union. No, he doesn't care about any of that, he cares about staying in power and becoming more powerful. One of the best ways to do so is to invade other countries, as long as you don't lose.

Thank you. I see so many people who don't get it. I'm happy some people understand it without sending them link to one of few Ekaterina Shulman's lectures in English.

This is not the lecture I originally intended to post. Also small correction for 1:00:02 first answer in poll should be translated as "social fainess".

If you find lecture where she says about "dealing with internal problems by external means" and "dropping concrete slab on nation's head" - that is one I intended to link, but still searching which one it is.

To be fair electric cars are still cars. Fuck them.

uis ,
@uis@lemm.ee avatar

You mean using same road cars would use for buses, while optionally removing extra lanes, is less green and cheap than building and maintaining 18-lane monstrosities in the middle of nowhere?

uis ,
@uis@lemm.ee avatar

18 lane monstrosities are connections between the dense cities/burbs.

All those 18 lanes are built ONLY because of cars.

uis , (edited )
@uis@lemm.ee avatar

What? Cars per length? What is this unit of? Some wierd linear density? I'm saying that that 18-lane abominations are built only for no other reason than driving cars. You say that car infrastructure is cheap, especially in rural areas, but you seem to ignore(intentionally or not) most expensive and destructive part of it. Which happens to go through rural areas. Or you can name abomination that is purely within city limits?

And public transit just doesn't need this abomination. Public transit works fine even with one lane per direction. Or track if we are talking about trains.

uis , (edited )
@uis@lemm.ee avatar

And there are fewer cars per km in rural areas.

You said sentence that has no clear meaning. Per km of what? Per average distance between houses? Per average distance those cars travel? Or you want to say rural areas require more car infrastructure per car? If so, then this is close to what I was trying to say.

I reread entire convo. This started from

If you live in rural areas with really low density it is often cheaper and greener to not build mass transit systems there.

And if you are not the only person living in that area, then public transport WILL be greener. One car for two people is more efficient than two cars for two people, one car for four people is more efficient and one minivan for eight people is more efficient than two cars for four people. And minivan is just few steps awa from bus.

And again, less total amount of cars means less car infrastructure needs to be built and maintained, which means less money spent.

Meaning I could either back up and rewrite a $20 card forever, or rewrite the balance to having FF credits or whatever.

As you can guess, checksum is stored somewhere. And that somewhere happens to be card that was just dumped.
