  • Google and Microsoft consume more energy than 100+ countries | Windows Central

  • WattHours is a unit of work. If you say that bitcoin uses x amount of Wh it doesn’t say shit about how much it actually consumes. Because you don’t say in what amount of time Bitcoin uses said amount of work, you cannot compare it. I could state, that Bitcoin uses 5 Wh. Which would also be correct.

    Its the same as saying, Bob eats 5 apples. Alice eats 2000 apples. Can you compare the two? No, because what I forgot to mention is, that Bon eats 5 apples a week and Alice eats 2000 apples in 3 years. Now i can compare the two.

    Do you get my point?

  • The comment was 172TWh without specifying a timeframe whatsoever. Is it a year? Is it a day? A month?

    It was about the comment about bitcoin, not the post itself.

  • 172 TWh per year

    Your statement was as useful as the following: A VW Polo car costumes 3000 liters of fuel.

  • I think with Edge you get punched, robbed and then raped for good measure.

  • Do you think there are no assholes working for google or mozilla? Assholes are everywhere. And fuck cancel culture.

    Edit: I stand by what I said, you can downvote me all you want. It doesn’t matter to me one bit.

  • Using The Wind And Magnets To Make Heat

    Jump

  • That’s partly because the pot itself heats up. With conventional stoves you have to heat the pot first, which takes a lot of time.

  • Pi Gazing is a project to build meteor cameras using Raspberry Pi computers connected to CCTV cameras which are directed upwards to record the night sky.

  • That’s nice, but this project seems very dead, or am I missing something?

    Human Brains Can Tell Deepfake Voices From Real Ones

    Jump

  • I don’t think brains are capable of thinking something about something. Brains are used to think something about something. I don’t know, sounds stupid to me too. I think of it like a plane. There’s a computer or a person flying the plane, the plane doesn’t fly itself. Probably would have sounded less stupid, if it said something like „What happens really in our brains, if we think about/hear these mimicry attempts?“

  • Oh wow I didn’t know. Fuck Ashton Kutcher!

  • YouTube is experimenting with Notes, a crowdsourced feature that lets users add context to videos

  • I don’t see what was wrong with the comment of /u/voyajer. Can you elaborate?

  • I don't appreciate that.

  • Why is it important that you vote in that poll that is clearly just designed to get you to sign up for the newsletter? Just don’t do it, nothing good could come of it.

  • TOFU vs 2FAS

    Jump

  • Never tested 2FAS, but tofu I have been using for years. Can’t complain, it works.

  • I just switched to Pop OS, any tips on what I should do next?

  • And then realize that tiling in popos is inferior and start using i3 or sway

  • Windows just changed my desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update

  • If you use voyager you can filter keywords. I recommend filtering „elon“, „musk“, „tesla“, „spacex“… makes for a much more enjoyable experience.

  • OpenAI Insider Estimates 70 Percent Chance That AI Will Destroy or Catastrophically Harm Humanity

    Jump

  • I am glad you liked it. Can’t take the credit for this one though, I first heard it from Ed Zitron in his podcast „Better Offline“. Highly recommend.

  • OpenAI Insider Estimates 70 Percent Chance That AI Will Destroy or Catastrophically Harm Humanity

    Jump

  • I feel this is all just a scam, trying to drive the value of AI stocks. Noone in the media seems to talk about the hallucination problem, the problem with limited data for new models (Habsburg-AI), the energy restrictions etc.

    It’s all uncritical believe that „AI“ will just become smart eventually. This technology is built upon a hype, it is nothing more than that. There are limitations, and they reached them.

  • What's your server wattage?

    Jump

  • 82.2W average for which I pay 144.6€/a at the moment. That’s for a Ryzen 7 3700X, some hard drives and SSDs and the fiber connection to my basement. I outsourced 90% of media consumption to a VPS though, that’s another 84€/a.

  • Ask it five times if it is sure. You can usually get it to say outrageous things this way

  • I also don’t understand. Sometimes the answer to a question is equally or more interesting than the reason a question is asked
