Local AI models are not more efficient than corporate ones - you might not need as much energy as a datacenter for cooling, but the actual GPUs and the software that runs on them are similar enough that the necessary enery per image is effectively the same.

Stable Diffusion might be open-source software by some definition of the word, but it was trained on mostly the same unlicensed data as the commercial models, so using it is still plagiarism.

If you don’t want to be mistaken for techbros, you might want to avoid parroting their talking points.

Intuitively I would assume that a single event would either not release enough energy to start a feedback loop or destroy the planet altogether, but I have no idea how to calculate that.

The greenhouse effect won’t even start if the greenhouse gases are frozen on the surface

As far as I know, yes.

In some regions of Germany, beer wasn’t traditionally as common as you might expect. By watering down wine, you get a beverage with a similar alcohol content like beer which you can drink in similar contexts - for example, it’s not a great idea to drink undiluted wine when you’re sitting outside on a hot summer day

You can mix carbonated water and wine - that’s called Weinschorle in German

It used to make sense during the COVID lockdowns, but at least where I live most stores stopped offering that service soon after the pandemic

I don’t think making semiconductors at home is explicitly illegal anywhere, but I doubt hobbyists can legally buy or synthesize many of the chemicals you’d need

Obviously you’re supposed to use a modern OS like GNU/Hurd

That depends on whether it was always kept at that temperature - if it melts and re-freezes, it becomes much harder

If you take it with a grain of salt it’s less dangerous than pure water

That’s because whoever uploaded the video couldn’t handle 30 minutes

If you complained to most Germans about an S-Bahn system with an average delay of 4 min, they’d think you’re Swiss - according to the German railway statistics, any delay less than 5 minutes and 59 seconds counts as ‘on time’

To avoid confusion, just use mebimeters (1 Mim = 2^20 m)

It’s less misleading now than it used to be
