The current spending by private sector with AI is inflationary and excessive, that's how you have overpriced RAM, GPUs etc. Complete waste of resources for future demand that won't be realized, but keeps current demand afloat via spending. When that pops, it'll be gone (though existing stock of AI infra will remain)
The problem, as I understand it, is that the infrastructure isn't being built (either because it's politically unpopular or because they don't have the physical materials to actually make them worth building), and, unlike the dot-com bust that everyone is drawing analogies to, the infrastructure that is being built isn't durable. GPUs have a 3-5 year useful working life and are constantly being superseded because there's still low-hanging fruit to harvest on the efficiency side of things. If the bust happens soon, I can't imagine there being a lot of "dark fiber" that can get turned into whatever the AI equivalent of high speed internet is.
It's definitely intimidating at first but cheat sheets (or straight up googling) can help with a lot of stuff. But in modern Linux, you also don't really need the terminal for a lot of things; mainly just installing software or updating. So you don't need to know a lot about it.
The end result is asserting a special ethnic privilege over the definition of genocide so they can minimize the one they're perpetrating, which sure is something
Having boilers in the home would reduce the need for batteries but wouldn't that be a pretty substantial space and safety issue? Something like radiant floor heating or passive solar might be better but that would have to be built in.
On 13 September 2023, Perry participated in a debate with Anna Khachiyan against Grimes and Sarah Haider. The debate, referred to as "a clash of the female titans", was held at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles and was moderated by Bari Weiss.
Heating in colder climates is probably the big one (at least it is for us). Gas heat should be getting phased out and even relatively efficient heat pumps still need a decent amount of power.
According to Google you need about 300-500 sq ft of panels to power a single family home so it might be simple to start with a 100 sq ft array and gradually build it out to compensate for losses over time and spread the cost. But I'm not a rooftop solar installer
tl;dw: "I'm a liberal and my political party sucks but I'm incapable of imagining any alternatives other than the right wing."
