Batteries can be recycled, reused or repurposed. It’s nowhere near as damaging as drilling for/refining/shipping/burning oil
Why is the alternative to an EV SUV a combustion engine SUV? Why isn't cycling and public transport?
I'm not saving ICEs are good and EV are bad but that maybe... both aren't great anyway, especially when actual alternatives that make people healthier do exist.
FWIW I did try few LLMs locally too (cf my notes on the topic https://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/SelfHostingArtificialIntelligence ) but AFAIK that is only the top of the iceberg, that LLM has been trained before and that's a significant part of the cost.
Despite the ecological costs?
Typically LLMs aren't a problem with FOSS with licensing as pretty much anything and everything is free to use, remix, etc.
What is more of a problem is hallucinations, imagining using the wrong rm -rf ~/ command without understanding the consequence, but arguably that's hard to predict. What will always be a problem though, no matter the model, is how much energy was put into it... so that, in fine, it makes the actual documentation and some issues on StackOverflow slightly more accessible because one can do semantic search rather than full text search. Does one really need to run billion parameters models in the cloud on a remote data center for that?
Depends how you learn and what are your goals but I can recommend :
... yet IMHO the real fun comes when you apply YOUR commands to YOUR files.
So yes, please do try in a safe sandbox first then when you want, when you are not rushed by a project start a terminal right there from the comfort of your desktop, then PLAY with your files after doing a backup. Trust me it won't just be fun, it will be truly empowering.
When you get stuck, come back here and do ask.
How does SteamOS do on my AMD 7950X3D with my 4090? Oh it doesn’t support those?
Hmmm maybe I'm missing something but doesn't Steam work on these? Doesn't Proton work on these? Doesn't KDE Plasma work too? Basically what's missing for you to consider it working if arguably the most important do work on it?
Asking as I use those 3 daily on my Debian desktop and... it just works. Anyway, back to play Clair Obscur, thanks a lot to Valve.
The command line is precisely trying to address this, providing not isolated apps but commands that are flexible and can be stitched together so that most needs are cover. Think of it like Lego blocks made out of text, that do stuff to your files.
If I can help, let me know.
Exactly, hence why being aware of provenance matters.
May I introduce you to the wonderful world of open source instead?
Thanks for taking the time to check, blocked them.
Anything else but driving doesn't work well in the US because the "way of life" is indeed car centric. It will never change without infrastructure, including but not limited to bike lanes. Large distances are possible with (electric) bike but this at least needs to be safe.
So... yes I'm not advocating for somebody leaving the middle of absolute nowhere to give up on their cars. This is not even about cities (as the article mentions a parking lot I assume it's next or even inside a city).
No, my point instead is to question the false dichotomy.
