100% utilization yes, but server uptimes are in the 99 percent range.

Mine gets so exited they won't stay still long though to get the leash on to actualy go on a walk!

The Hobbit wasn't originally set in middle earth. He started working on the Silmarillion in 1914 at 22, but didn't start Lord of the Rings till much later. I don't know if he began to set the Hobbit in middle earth before or after starting on Lord of the Rings.

I can't find any info on Vatican City's energy use, but possibly. You could go even further and compare to not widly recognized countries like sealand, where you have the energy consumption of a residential house or two. But that would be wildly misleading.

Looks like revenue this quarter was $19.34B. That's slightly less than the 2024 Q1 result of $21.3B. Looks like Q1 is usually lower, let's make this trend continue to following quarters.

I couldn't find that version digitally, but looks like this one is a bit newer. I like yours better though with the pictures.

Maybe about 33% less electricity than human digital art? I don't feel like calculating this myself.

Yes, but those servers are pretty ai specific, so that's a decent assumption. Looks like Nvidia is drastically ramping up production of these servers, so current electricity use might be about 10x, I'm working on it.

From this 2023 paper, looks like if all Nvidia AI servers are running 24/7, you'd get an energy consumption of about 5.7–8.9 TWh per year. Nvidia servers make up 95% of the AI market (according to the paper) so that'd be pretty close to what AI servers would consume.

The paper also estimates about 20% of crypto mining GPUs no longer mining etherium converted to AI, which contributed another 16.1 TWh per year.

This doesn't include some AI, but it should be the majority.

Between those two sources, that gives 23.4 TWh per year. That gives 0.08 exta joules per year per this converter. That's 22% of Sri Lanka's energy consumption (which is the lowest country).

So AI in a year uses at much energy as Sri Lanka uses in 3 months. At least in 2023. I'll see if I can find a more recent study.

What country? Sir Lanka? This isn't a useful comparison as is, I'll see if I can dig up actual numbers.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The source is available, right? You just can't fork it to include ads? Or you can't fork it at all?

There's no hope of zero warning. There's hope that we can minimize the warming to that 6C or lower. And hope that we can help ecosystem adapt to new climates. There are corals that are adapting, we need to make sure they survive and spread. We might even need to engineer in heat tolerance. Warming is coming, if they only need to deal with it, they might be able to adapt. But when you stack an half a dozen other significant stressors, it becomes much less likely to survive. So reducing those stressors helps, even if global warming is going to be bad.

 

For the 100th anniversary in 1954, Sylvania set this picture up with thousands of flash bulbs.

Apparently the fireworks were added in post.

 

So many Doritos to choose from.

Interesting plane spotted over Chengdu, looks like a side by side seated trijet.

Scott Manley video, looks like the hold down claps may have ripped the bottom off the booster, allowing it to take off.

 

XiaoHao2 took these pics and videos from across the China boarder with a dgi drone in 2020. They uploaded just recently. Here's some more pics

 

OnStar reports location and speed data to the car manufacturer. Sometimes they will sell this data to insurance companies to raise your premium, as several news stores pointed out a few weeks ago. I couldn't really find an advantage to OnStar, (I have my phone to call emergency services) so I disabled it by pulling it's fuse.

For my 2019 bolt, it's f31 in the instrument panel fuse box, just down and to the left of the steering wheel. The fuse box cover comes off when you pull it hard from the bottom.

I was able to find which fuse went to OnStar in the owners manual and labeled on the inside of the fuse box cover. You should be able to find it for your model car there too if it uses OnStar.

I did have the casualty of my speaker for calls and texts. I'm not able to use it right now. I'll see if I can dig in and reconnect it somehow, but we'll see.

Who knows that other into they're snitching back to GM, or what they could do in the future, so I recommend disconnecting it. Good luck!

 

Folds down to fit inside a 1kg filament box. Upsidedown let's the complicated moving bits be in the base where there's less vibration. Krylan3D originally designed this to easily take in a backpack back and forth from college, but is now hired and working on designing other 3d printers. So the community has made improvements and made it easier to make yourself. Parts cost about $550.

 

As you reduce the amount of carbon emissions (the y axis) the methods to keep reducing carbon cost more (the x axis.)

This great graph came to my attention from this video from vlogbrothers. It also has some good explanations of what it means.

Note that carbon capture doesn't really make sense till you've exhausted all the other emission minimizing methods.

It can't be that hard, it's only two questions!

Hopefully this will help lower objections to getting devices repaired

 

These mini castles were built all over the city.

The reasons for the construction of so many towers are not clear. One hypothesis is that the richest families used them for offensive/defensive purposes during the period of the Investiture Controversy.

Only a few survive to the current day.
