Dumbells and a bench

Ask New York City. It’s expensive af every time a change needs to be made underground because you have to dig everything up, and once you’re down there, it’s just a nest of wires in conduit so knowing which one you’re supposed to work on can be a challenge.

Underground wires have to be insulated to prevent short circuits to ground. The longer a wire needs to go, and the more power it needs to carry, the thicker it needs to be. Since insulation goes around the outside, this increases exponentially and the cable quickly becomes mostly insulation in many cases, which is expensive and inefficient.

Also, there’s only so much ground you can dig up before you hit bedrock. So, in some cases, power infrastructure expansion is limited because there’s nowhere to bury the wires.

In many places it’s easier to let the damage happen and repair it cheaply.

People just buy an early access game like they buy a normal game and treat it like that’s the game.

Yeah, because devs release an early access game then treat it like that’s the game.

You must not know very much about Bin Laden. Give his Wikipedia articles a quick skim. Your kids wouldn’t survive the night. If they survive an hour, it’s because they decided to kill them slowly.

Bin Laden fathered 24 children, the first of which was with his first cousin when she was 16 and he was 17. They went on to have ten more children. The other 13 were spread amongst five other wives. They also found several beheading videos on his computer. He also believed muslims should kill any US civilians they find until the US withdraws support for Israel.

I think definitely killing and maybe molestation would be on the table.

It would have to be only some. The storage density of printed photos is terrible.

If you make a pillar out of this stuff, then put it in the ground, is that a shit post?

Who?

Are you an American? Are you talking to Americans? The Guardian is corporate-owned propaganda.

What exactly do YOU think LLMs are?

Machine Learning is a kind of AI. LLMs are but one kind of Machine Learning Model. All LLMs are Machine Learning models, but not all Machine Learning models are LLMs. LLMs are one kind of AI, but not all AI is an LLM.

They’re different words for a reason. If they were all the same thing, we wouldn’t give them different names. It’s completely possible and understandable that someone would find one acceptable but not the other.

There’s nothing quite so uniquely irritating as someone who holds a strong opinion on something about which they know very little.

If you punch a clock to pay your bills, you’re working class. Don’t let them turn us against each other.

You’re thinking about it wrong. You’re using the language of the oppressor.

You’re a medicinal marijuana patient. You suffer from an illness you didn’t earn or ask for. Cannabis is the medicine that manages your symptoms. If you don’t take your medicine, your symptoms get worse.

“Good” and “bad” are subjective terms. I accept myself for who I am regardless of anyone else’s opinions. I’m happy with who I am and my opinion is the only one I need to be worried about.
