Indeed, and the environmentalists are on board with it because although it will disrupt the local wildlife, it will create new habitats, and in the end the reduction in damage from not using fossil fuels to generate that energy far outweighs the downsides.

There has never been a point in recorded history when the British Isles and territorial waters were windless.

And yes, we have hydro, we have storage, and we could have a hell of a lot more.

Actually the former head of the National Grid said that. The guy running the UK's grid said that the concept of base load was obsolete, and he was right.

The UK has at least 20x as much wind power available than its current electricity consumption. Energy independence is entirely possible, if not particularly desirable.

The UK could be a massive exporter of clean energy. Scotland in particular could be getting rich off it, but like with the oil they aren't seeing as much of the benefit as they should be seeing.

I'm not really clear what it even does. You get an @thundermail.com address I think, probably blocked or assumed to be spam by many systems. Anything else?

The containment buildings didn't contain the meltdown, and the emergency cooling system that was supposed to let them use external pumps diverted the water into holding tanks instead of the cores. There were many screw-ups, and even now they are behind schedule with the decommissioning and clean up.

Chernobyl and Fukushima had the same root cause - too expensive. Chernobyl skimped on not bothering to build containment buildings or train people properly. Fukushima didn't build the necessary tsunami defences, despite being warned.

It's nuclear's Achilles' heel. Costs too much to be commercially viable, can't afford to be properly insured, and doesn't get the necessary level of investment once it's running.

I think there is some confusion here. They don't seem to have disabled it on older chips, only on new laptops, before sale, where AV1 is supported.

No, you didn't.
First, you misquoted them.
They simply said that the data supports that vaccinated people do not get sick. This is different but related to breakthrough transmission.

The complaints are largely because the statements would be miscontextualized by morons like you.
The criticisms are things like,

(From your article)
For a normal person, that didn't really need to be said.
No vaccine ever created had 100% efficacy.

And this is still separate from your conflation of breakthrough infections with "vaccinated people transmitting the virus"

I sound angry? lol.
You really are a fucking moron.

Tell me- did the previous sentence "sound angry" to you? That's you projecting. I'm giddy over interacting with morons- not angry. You're angry because deep inside, you know that you are a fucking moron.

They would have to in order to hide it.

That is correct. That is, however, not support for your position.

You can shuffle it around wherever you like- the loss is going to show up somewhere. If P suddenly drops for "Search", then you know it's there.

Necessary?

Well, the performance of larger models is better, so there's a demand for larger models.
That's kind of orthogonal about whether or not there should be a demand.

That's not necessarily true in the slightest.
If it is, they won't be able to hide that- they're a publicly traded company. And lying about it is literally a federal crime.

More likely, they're talking about the 650 million MAU that Gemini has.
They claim that the AI search results only take 10x the power as a regular search result, which means the model that produces those is absolutely microscopically tiny.
That would make sense if its mostly just fed a context of search results and snippets and asked to summarize them.

Their SOTA model will take many hundred times more power than that.

No. Google has a paid LLM service akin to ChatGPT.

The AI search gadget will be a very small model (distilled from a larger model) since it'll need relatively little intelligence, since it'll be fed with search results and page snippets to formulate its blurbs.

The real demand comes from Gemini, with its very expensive model and 650 million MAU- and an independent revenue stream.

It's kinda funny watching the forums flood in posts from people so insecure over this that they deny the truth in front of their very eyes- that every single fucking 20-something-year-old with a phone is using this shit. And a frankly astonishing amount of them are paying for it.

At first, I figured it was pure cope. Now I'm wondering if it has progressed to honest delusion.

Ya, I mean why would the growth of a consumable resource be capped below the available atoms in the universe? /s
I keep hearing about this overpopulation- I had no idea it had gotten that bad.
