Shutting down => Not building new ones. All decommissioned reactors would have reached EOL by 2025 anyhow.

Power generation is 25% higher with 6 than with 12 reactors. Plenty of scaremongering around volatility, though. Consumers don't realize that one-hour price spikes are completely irrelevant since they pay monthly (or even quarterly) AV

The bottleneck is the grid, not the production centers. Volatility is not more extreme in Sweden than other connected (Nord Pool) countries. Companies lament the lack of grid connectivity all the time. Then they get the offer "Pay for

Indeed, it is also imprecise since the timestamp does't include the timezone. :)

The argument is that a modern LLM cares little for the MLE. Hence, statistically speaking, they are not predictors .

Yep. There may be only 25-50 people alive today in the whole world who can credibly claim to understand Wiles' proof. Now we add an LLM to that list. Absolutely mind-blowing stuff.

Alas. it's not enough. My account got banned ages ago but all my comments are still there. Apparently, the only way to delete your comments is to delete them one by one. Undoubtedly that only hides them and they still live on in Reddit

Right, if you are not using dictionary definitions of words we define words differently. Though I should have clarified that I meant " Failing to learn linked lists, sort algorithms, memory allocation, etc, ..."

C is great for a course on computer architecture . C helps you understand how variables and procedures map to stack frames, how segments map to local and global variables, and how it's all data (i.e., machine code). But it's deci

You think it is obtuse because your lies are being called out. FotE was founded by David Brower, Donald Aitken, and Gary Soucie as its Wikipedia page and multiple other sources corroborate. Emphatically, it was not "entirely formed b

Holy fuck, Batman. No one's interested in that LLM verbiage. You made specific claims. Claim A: "Environmentalist groups were in some cases entirely formed by fossil fuel interests." It's clear from context that you&#x

I'm uninterested in bot answers. You claimed label X applies so consequence Y applies. Useless. Why is providing people with the means to express themselves to an audience wrong ? Please think for yourself; don't resort to labe

Right, the argument is "He is a socialist so when he gets power he will do X which I dislike". But now he is in power so the argument is moot. Instead, you have to list actions by him you dislike.

For me, discovering new cool Python APIs gives me the same rush as learning C++ and AJAX did many decades ago. If it doesn't for you then maybe you should get out. Memorizing Latin names of bones, dealing with death, and having direct

Very nice font! However, I wish the default line height would have been a little bigger. It's a bit too dense for long paragraphs.

I think you are completely right. Of course, typing "Write a Tetris clone in Javascript" and having the bot generate a clone is quicker than coding it yourself. But that assumes you don't care about the details. If you do, yo

It's very common in the industry today. They let some journos be the first to break the news. In return the journos write a glowing review. A symbiotic relationship.

Then the article contradicts the slides because it states that OpenAI choose not to disaggregate prefill and decode. Idk you men with "predict"---conventional LLM serving comprises only two phases.
