pretty sure it can run on either, but cpus are slow compared to gpus, often to the point of being impractical

Have you seen that study about the accuracy of chatgpt responding to programming questions? (here) It's wrong 52% of the time, and I can say that I have personally experienced trying to use chatgpt for programming and getting more confused rather than less. Maybe it is because I wasn't using gpt4, or claude, or whatever new model is the best, but I'm just sharing my experience.

Also I support electric vehicles because without them lots of energy (and emissions) is generated for critical infrastructure (we can't ditch cars yet), and so replacing that with renewably generated energy is a good idea.

LLMs consume lots of energy to train and use, but instead of literally moving millions of people around, they assist you in doing things you could have done without them, but with dubious accuracy. Look at the massive use of LLMs in by students to cheat in school, yes they may not get detected, but sometimes they have noticable flaws, that get them in large trouble for being too lazy to actually learn anything.

If you want to learn in depth knowledge about a topic, just go look it up and learn there, it's more helpful than an LLM.

you're getting downvoted because LLMs are simply not very good, they consume lots of energy (bad for climate), and seemingly most people involved in ai hype want to replace human creativity or something.

how about instead of training a not very trustworthy or useful LLM on lots of nyt, 4chan, and "dark web", you go read lots of nyt, 4chan, and dark web to train your own (much better) model (your brain).

the author of the article wrote an article a while ago about how they think steam is enshittifying and becoming bad because they got rid of mac support and some people didn't like steam in the 2000s, so I think this person just takes controversial opinions randomly and writes about them.

I mean it might be more secure, it might be less secure, we just can't read through the source for windows, so we won't know until linux is attacked as much as windows. It would (will?) definitely be interesting to find out.

freecad is horrible, not really worth trying.

I've heard of people getting fusion 360 running great with a snap, but others say it has issues. the github for it is being actively maintained, so thats a good sign at least.

I tried to get siemens solid edge working through wine, but it was mostly broken and I didn't dig too deep into troubleshooting, I just dualboot windows for fussy programs and anticheats

ok but the real interesting stuff like reading hand writing from a paralyzed person imagining writing it and etc are all only for actual electrodes in brains.

I wanna see some even more insane FPV drones. theres always some battery breakthrough though, so I don't wanna get my hopes up.

you can spoof wifi networks, too

electric heat strips in an air handler is a common option
