Nope, they can use your NPU, GPU or CPU whatever you have… the performance will vary quite a bit though. Also, the larger the model the more memory it needs to run well.

Finnish ones (some sayings here too):

• “Ski into a spruce!” -> Get lost!
• “So the forest answers as one calls into it” -> what comes around goes around
• “If you reach for the spruce you’ll fall into the juniper” -> don’t bite more than you can chew
• “to be like hit on the head with a piece of wood” -> to be baffled
• “it went into the forest” -> something failed
• “to have own cow in the ditch” -> to have their own hidden agenda behind a request or actions
• “to throw the spoon into the corner” -> to die

Depends on how you define meaning. I find meaning in experiencing the life. It may be predetermined or have random elements in it but the experience is unique to me.

Anyway, given all we know about us and the universe I haven’t heard a coherent proposal of how free will could work. So, until there’s good evidence to convince me otherwise … I can’t help but believe it doesn’t exist.

I’m not saying that humans are just AI, I’m just saying that there’s no fundamental difference in the sense that we also respond to stimuli… we don’t have free will.

"What we call AI lacks agency, the ability to make dynamic decisions of its own accord, choices that are “not purely reactive, not entirely determined by environmental conditions.” "

That’s from the article and I referred to that.

It’s one of the terrible hype trains again… However, I wonder what makes him think that humans are something clearly more than a model that gathers data through the senses and reacts to external stimuli based on the current model. I think that’s special pleading.

Take some time every now and then to consider why you’re doing the things you’re doing. You may do them out of fear, shame, perceived obligation, to avoid doing something else, because your parents want you to, etc. Or you may do them because they genuinely bring you job, help you in some way or make the world a better place… Anyway, we people are weird creatures. We get stuck in situations, relationships, obligations, bad habits, destructive patterns without realizing what’s happening. Try to stay aware, honest to yourself (and others) and keep learning :)

You should be able to do that, you’d just need to set up and maintain the Nextcloud instance yourself :)

I use Hetzner’s Storage Share (which is a nextcloud instance) as my drive and pay around 5€ / mo for 1 TB. Depending on the features you want you could also use their Storage Box which is more like a plain network drive, and cheaper… like 13€ / mo for 5 TB.

Well, I’m not sure if these are cool but I find them pretty cool :D Crows, unline many other animals, recognize humans by their faces like we do and they can remember at least dozens of individuals. They stash food in different places. Sometimes crows spy on others and go steal food from their stashes. Those who have gotten their food stolen will move their stashes. Crows can also use tools.

It’s not a jackdaw nor a magpie, it’s a hooded crow. And to the OP, I recommend befriending crows, I now have my own air support.

Yup, they never figured me out either… Ads are annoying and stupid and thinking about how much resources are poured into them and how much everyone’s time is wasted makes me angry.

I must admit I don’t know the situation well but I feel like “immunity from child emotional abuse claims” is not the right move. This feels like a symptom of much wider problems. Parents work way too much, kids spend too much time in school, too much revolves around being “productive”. Parents can’t parent much but they feel the pressure to provide their kids with best possible future… Much is left to the teachers who probably need to do parenting work too without necessary time and tools. So they suffer, because kids suffer because parents suffer.

Yup, I’ve started avoiding gaming forums, mostly stopped following news/rumors and hype trains and I’ve become “patient gamer”. As a result, I pay much less for games and enjoy more the ones I get.

I wanted physical books out of something that was only available as PDFs. So instead of going the sensible route I bought a color laser printer, learnt how to bind books, bought tools and materials, made a simple book binding press and made my own books.

this plus:

1. For many companies the majority of operating expenses are related to employees, so they will try to resist raising wages, preferably cutting them and/or firing people (also, union busting)
2. Product quality will suffer
3. They’ll try to skirt regulations and lobby to overturn them
4. In capitalism there’s no such thing as enough when it comes to ROI so we go back to 6.

Choir … how would you spell it? Quier?

Umm, what makes you think that if they did exist they wouldn’t also be explainable by science? Also, if you dig really deep into anything you’ll find all kinds of fascinating stuff even if it’s not supernatural.

Carry ice picks (more like ice awls) with you when you travel on ice. If you fall through ice turn back to the direction you came from and start breaking the ice with your elbows (no use trying to get up as long as the ice is so brittle you can easily break it), then drag yourself up and start rolling away from the hole and trace your steps back. Also, try to get rid of the wet clothes as soon as you can.
