Considering how much the largest companies are making deals with and just handing money to each other during this AI bubble… I’m not sure money is a concern.

The more that they can bedazzle the concept of a data center and distract from the failures of current LLMs, the more money they can make, which very much aligns with what you’re saying.

Thank you for providing that little bit of context, and apologies for misunderstanding. Have a great day! :)

I don’t mean transfer to the air, I mean radiating heat!

When you have a hot object, in space or in an atmosphere, you can see it on infrared cameras because it’s releasing that energy as infrared light.

Some materials are better at releasing their heat energy as infrared light than others, and having large panels of such a material gives lots of surface area to radiate that energy into space as infrared radiation. The heat transfer to any thin atmosphere found at that kind of altitude would be negligible.

As for heating up in the dark, you could just have a swarm of these that shut down if they’re in the dark, and make sure you have at least a few running at all times.

As for maintenance, I agree. It’s why undersea data centers haven’t really taken off, because it’s very hard to get people down there to take care of things.

Glad I wasn’t the only one to recognize ‘em 😭

As much as I dislike AI… radiators are just about the most efficient technologies, besides space heaters, which do the same thing.

It’s like how incandescent lighting is 100% efficient, if you also include all of the frequencies we can’t see (primarily infrared.)

If I’m wrong, I’m hoping someone will correct me, but I’m fairly certain that radiators in the shadow of the rest of the satellite’s body would be able to dump that heat as infrared into space.

I’ve really painted myself in the corner with my semantics, pun intended.

Before we delve too deeply into these definitions, and because I have to pick up a family member from the airport in a few minutes, i’ll just leave a few links that illustrate (pun intended, again) my point a bit better.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesthetics

The arts or creative arts are a vast range of human practices of creative expression, storytelling, and cultural participation. The arts encompass diverse and plural modes of thinking, doing, and being in an extensive range of media.

This is true, however, i covered that in my previous response. The algorithm hand-made by a human is the art.

The point of art is humanity. Art is inherently an expressive medium. There’s no such thing as “good” art or “bad” art. If you’re outsourcing your art to a machine, a glorified denoising algorithm, you lose the point. Sure, it might look pretty. Sure, it may be of the style and appearance you are aiming for. Nonetheless, it is not art, as it is inherently inhuman.

What is human is the effort that went into making that algorithm do what you want. The art is not the image, the art is the algorithm. The art is the prompt, by definition. But the image is not art, and calling it that is a misnomer.

You are free to believe what you want. Nobody can change your opinion by willing it. I have used generative AI “art” applications before. While they’re interesting, and have their uses, (such as coming up with new ideas, or to assist with backgrounding, which is what I have used them for,) what they create simply is not art. Their output is not copyrightable.

To draw a stick figure is to make art. To write a detailed description of an image is literary art. To feed that description into GAI is an action one may take, but its output is not art.

I suggest trying a virtual machine! Some softwares detect this (and there are ways around that too) but mostly it should be seamless!

for something similar to edge, i’d recommend ungoogled chromium. it strips out all of the google garbage. the setup takes a bit of time to get extensions installed, but it’s smooth sailing after that.

if you’re wanting something new, there are many privacy-oriented forks of firefox that can get the job done. one of the common ones is librewolf, but i honestly just stick to normal firefox with ublock origin, container tabs, and noscript.

edit: if anything i said is wrong, please correct me 🙏

Hello folks! First, I’d like to clarify that, even as a bloodmouth, I fully understand why some people have moral objections to eating meat. I am simply here to ask about it, as someone who is not a vegan.

So I suppose I have a few questions for anyone who wants to answer them, 100% as your own opinions and feelings about the topic.

Why do you make the conscious decision to not eat meat/animal products? Do you have negative feelings towards those who raise their own animals for food, such as those who raise chickens for eggs or cattle for milk, and otherwise treat the animals ethically? Are there other reasons for not eating meat that I’m not considering? When did you choose to switch to a vegan lifestyle, what (if any) was the “catalyst”? What are some challenges that you have dealt with when it comes to this lifestyle? Why do you believe there is a continued stigma around veganism in many physical/internet communities?

I understand that as someone who isn’t vegan, this is not my space, and I am trying to be as respectful as possible while here. If I have said anything objectionable within my questions or otherwise, please let me know so I can avoid making the mistake in the future.

EDIT: Holy crap, thank you all for the responses! I appreciate y’all for taking the time out of your day to respond and share your knowledge. I’m going to go watch Dominion within the next few days since some of you mentioned that.

Hello y’all! I’ve always been interested in computers and programming for as long as i can remember, but recently i’ve decided to try to get into some of the deeper stuff behind that, into the wonderful world of electronics. Where should I start? What courses or books or youtube series should I consume? What are some high-quality forums, communities, blogs, etc. to learn from?

 
 
 

Hello everyone! For a while i’ve been using Okular, but I feel like the UI is a bit crowded and it's difficult to change the appearance of the book itself. Are there any minimalist/simple epub readers for Linux (perhaps something akin to Apple’s “Books” app?)

 

Essentially just the title. Why might one want to use Fabric or Forge over the other? Does one have better support for X features over the other? What are the differences in philosophy of the two projects that led to these differences?
