    I have heard Samsung is bad so often on the internet, but my personal experience is different. I’ve used a Samsung washing machine for almost 10 years now and it still works and looks like the day I bought it. It’s very easy to use, has a large front loader door, is quiet and power efficient (as far as that’s even possible with a washing machine). Never regretted it.

    My brother also has a Samsung washer and dryer, because he loved how large the door was on my washing machine, so he bought one as well. It has served him fine for about 5 years now.

    But hey, maybe I’m just lucky with the one I’ve got.

    Before this one I had a Beko washer and dryer. I was unemployed at the time and didn’t have a lot of money, so I wanted a cheap model. The salesman in the store said it was bad (this was a long time ago, when they still had salesmen) and would break within a couple of years. But they did upsell an extended warranty for 5 years, which my mom paid for so I could afford to get the washer and dryer. Those units had served me very well for over 15 years. I did have to repair them a couple of times, but nothing major and some normal wear items. I sold those when I bought the Samsung as an upgrade. I switched to natural air drying instead of a dryer for environmental reasons, so I didn’t buy a new dryer.

    Well that’s sort of half right. Yes you can run the smaller models locally, but usually it’s the bigger models that we want to use. It would also be very slow on a typical gaming computer and even a high end gaming computer. To make it go faster not only is the hardware used in datacenters more optimised for the task, it’s also a lot faster. This is both a speed increase per unit as well as more units being used than you would normally find in a gaming PC.

    Now these things aren’t magic, the basic technology is the same, so where does the speed come from? The answer is raw power, these things run insane amounts of power through them, with specialised cooling systems to keep them cool. This comes at the cost of efficiency.

    So whilst running a model is much cheaper compared to training a model, it is far from free. And whilst you can run a smaller model on your home PC, it isn’t directly comparable to how it’s used in the datacenter. So the use of AI is still very power hungry, even when not counting the training.





  • Really? I never heard that before. What would they care about how their caps are? I can’t see it having any impact on them at all. A lot of people got pissed about it when Coca Cola was one of the first to change the caps in line with the regulation, so if anything it hurt Coca Cola.

    Also even though large corporations are almost always totally evil, it’s not impossible for them to do something good as well. Probably not for the right reasons, but still, one thing doesn’t exclude the other.








  • What did the doctor say? You may have a fungal infection, where the welts and itch aren’t caused by dryness or the scratching, but by the fungus. It’s actually really common and can be extremely annoying if left untreated. Some miconazole nitrate cream can really help out with this, just a few weeks of applying twice a day and it’ll clear up.

    But never take medical advice from the internet, go see a doctor and ask them what to do.
