What are the "other reasons"? Thought about trying it.

If you intentionally chose/wear something to make a statement (or "telegraph something") isn't that the exact same thing with the camo diaper bag, they might also want to telegraph something - so you are not that different.

The joke is on you, I hate all sports teams.

I check for keys, wallet and phone every time I leave an apartment or building. I even do that in my dreams 😬

Life can't exist in a high entropy environment. Of course you can declare the entire solar system a closed system but because of the sun our solar system will be in an extremely low entropy state on average for a couple of billion years. Once the sun "dies" and the temperature averages out in our solar system there will be no life.

And yes it's (almost) always an energy argument that's why the water argument is not a good one. But not everything is an energy argument. Take He and H2 for example if you let that into the air it will eventually escape our atmosphere because of solar winds and is truly wasted/lost - but that's not true for water. You can't really waste water in a sense that we will have less water im the future (unless you split it into hydrogen and oxygen and let the hydrogen escape).

Entropy always increases in closed systems. Because of the Sun, the Earth is not a closed system. If Earth were a pure entropy game, there would be no life. Also the atmosphere can't hold infinite amount of water - that's why it rains sometimes. So "using" fresh water is only a problem in regions where it doesn't rain much and/or where the water has to be prepared/cleaned im the first place (which would probably make it too expensive to cool data centers in the first place) - if the water was from a natural fresh water source than just heating it is actually not a water issue - but it will contribute to global warming, but then again the argument shouldn't be about water but about that data centers contribute to global warming.

So the amount of water is pretty much constant. And because of the huge amount of energy the Earth gets from the sun, there is plenty of opportunities for clean energy that can (and is be used) to reverse entropy. All living things reverse entropy all the time. So the issue is not using the water but the unclean energy sources that lead to global warming.

To give the (anthropomorphized) model credit, I think the biggest problem is that the way it's trained is has practically no concept between the relation of the token it spits out an the html code that will be produced by the ChatGPT UI wrapper.

Because of that inserting regular newlines often don't work because a single newline in markdown doesn't translate to a line break in HTML.

To force a particular structure I often ask it to use some will known formats like yaml. Because there is so much yaml training data, is practically impossible for the LLM to not add newlines at the correct places (which is also typically rendered correctly because it places that in a markdown code block)

But wouldn't you point still be true today that the best AI video models today would be the onces that are not available for consumers?

Probably won't happen under capitalism. It's way too expensive (time consuming) to write good software/make good products.

Sure, just asign them a random Greek letter and call it a day 🤣

Thank you for the feedback. I know that only the "first" part is the prefix and I tried to be careful to not use it wrong. I just checked all 53 instances of "prefix" and I don't see a wrong one, but to be fair there are situations that could be misunderstood easily like here:

Today the only correct conversions are to either use SI prefixes (like 1 MB = 1000² bytes) or binary prefixes (1 MiB = 1024² bytes).

But with prefix I only meant the "M" and "Mi" part and they are both prefixes.

I'll try to clarify that later so the difference is clear to all readers. Thank you.
