Fuck Quebec

Be warned, prompt processing is slow

Mixtral GPTQ can run on a 3090

Mistral 7b can run on most modern gpus

Well fuck you too pal, I thought it was a good analogy.

If humans are just brains why are we smarter than dogs who also have brains?

How crucial is it to move these rocks? What’s the deadline? How many rocks need to be moved? Are there safety procedures in check, and will safety equipment be provided?

Yes. Let’s introduce OSHA standards into a theoretical example where moving rocks feeds people.

All the while spinning a billion bullshit nonsense side points.

Labor has a supply.

Labor has a demand.

To dismiss that is to dismiss reality. Yes. The nature of labor can change and some sorts of work can be abandoned when there is a shortage. No. That doesn’t invalidate scarcity and your “degrowth is good and okay” seems tor to just be a hilarious and twisted rationalization of how when your ideals cause the economy (and more importantly the general will being of people in the nation) to collapse that it’s actually a good thing.

Let’s imagine I had 100 rocks. For some reason I have to move them in order to feed everyone.

If I have one person I can move one rock a day.

With two people I can move two rocks.

And so on and so forth.

There is a labor demand - the need to move rocks.

And a labor supply - the number of people you have available to move rocks.

You can’t mind game your way out of that. Call it a commodity or not, you still need X people to do Y tasks and the discrepancy between the tasks and the people you have to do them is a measure and very real thing.

Because I did

Arrogance that knows no bounds.

You can’t “I don’t see labor as a commodity” your way out of scarcity. That’s just hilariously absurd.

Literally head in the sand sort of thinking.

destroyed by the British 1000 years before I was born

You acted like they still existed. In that case my original point still applies.

Those gift economies don’t work at scale and you would probably have a significantly worse quality of life if you were born to one.

Why would you buy GTA 6 after 5 became a live service game? Fuck rockstar.

It’s been a good couple of years for news coming out of China.

Maybe we’ll hear about to xi having a heart attack next

Move there then.

Best method we have found so far. If you want cookie cutter efficient ass state made beds you can move off to the… Well, every state who has tried has collapsed so you’re shit out of luck.

The beds in that store are for accumulation of wealth

…selling people beds so they have beds to sleep in. Beds that aren’t riddled with bugs thanks to the store not being a homeless shelter.

But why male models?

it makes ZERO sense to me that the U.S. hasn’t provided everything possible to push Russia out.

Israel

China

Venezuela getting prepared to invade one of its neighbors.

Couple of nations in Africa are getting ready to go to war too, I forget what the name of it was, Uganda? They’re wanting to get a path to the ocean.

The United States needs to be ready not only to fight in Ukraine, but also about four other places in the world right now. I’m in full support of giving them everything possible, but there’s a lot of valid reason not to go full of ham.

That’s ( fixed, messed up mah conversion) .1wh for a second of 3090 time/ 30 images a second.

If a 3090 drew 3 watt hours in 1/30th of a second it would melt.

Possibly off by one order of magnitude though… Editing post to see, and it looks like I was. 300 images per charge instead of 3000.

This is outdated in a big way with stable diffusion turbo and the recent LCM models that can render images at 30fps on a 3090.

360w * 1s /60 seconds a minute / 60 minutes an hour = .1 wh/image

30 images a second? .033 wh

A phone battery is 3000 mah * 3.5volts = 10.5 wh

318 images per phone charge

My math is probably off, but you get the idea.

is doing that by lifting restrictions it previously had on the number of kids per family.

No. They are trying to culturally push people to have kids now. Dropping one child not only didn’t work, their birth rates went down since then.

Putin asking Russians to make more kids won’t magically improve demographics

No, but Putin can do more than ask. So can China.

1 - Russia tries to force migrants into Finland.

2 - Finland closes borders.

3 - Russia forced to accept migrants.

Perfect outcome.
