A 100-word email generated by an AI chatbot using GPT-4 requires 0.14 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, equal to powering 14 LED light bulbs for 1 hour.

Es algo muy curioso y me lo he preguntado muchas veces. Hay muchísimos hispanohablantes, pero donde están? Sobretodo los de España. Yo no soy español así que no sé dónde se puede encontrar españoles en internet. Sé que hay algunos foros que son exclusivamente en español, como foro coches y menéame, pero esos me gustan tanto. Todos están allí? Incluso en reddit hay menos de lo que esperaba.
Millennial here. I’ve been consuming Reddit, and now Lemmy, almost exclusively on my phone and for me it’s card view all the way. Often the graphic content is more important than the title and opening posts only to find out it’s not funny or interesting feels like a waste of time. Only when I find a post interesting enough that I want to comment or see the comments, I open it. Instances or communities that I don’t like go on the blocklist.
If I really need to use Reddit, I open old Reddit in the browser with an extension that turns it into a mobile friendly site with card view. The new design has always felt sluggish and bloated to me, but not because of the card view.
Absolutely, over here we’ve recently elected a horrible party as the biggest one, with 25% of the votes. Dark times.
The difference is that in many European countries the head of state is more of a ceremonial position (at least in practice) and the head of the government holds nowhere near the amount of power a US president does. With proportional representation, the biggest party often doesn’t have an absolute majority and needs to form a government together with other parties, or might even end up in the opposition. Together they agree on who’s going to be the head of government (usually the head of the largest party), who will be the ministers and what will be the policy. If it doesn’t work out because of disagreements, the government breaks up and new elections will be held.
My point is: the risk is real, populism is growing, policy is shifting, but the dynamics are different. Having a first past the post system and concentrating so much power into a single political position feels like an accelerator.
Exactly. Same as with sleeping data. When it says that you’ve been awake 3 times last night, it doesn’t really mean much. That kind of data shouldn’t be presented as being accurate. However, it could still be made accessible behind a button er menu option. For example, it might show you that the signal is intermittent because your watch band isn’t tight enough, or other anomalies. And of course you’re right: they won’t tell you that the data is of low quality and as a user you don’t necessarily know that, so in that sense it can be very misleading.
I’m not familiar with how Bluesky works, but I bet that if lemmy.world goes down it will feel like Lemmy as a whole is down for a lot of people. Is this similar to that, as in that the major instance went down because of the large influx of users? Somewhat comparable to the influx of Lemmy users from Reddit that we’ve seen? Or is Bluesky not really federated and did it go down as a whole?
My Garmin also shows the shape of the graph, but to be honest I don’t trust it at that resolution. I just keep track of the moving average, which is the main value that is shown. I do agree that that kind of data shouldn’t be hidden from the user.
I think that the idea is that by setting a strict deadline after which women can’t have children or marry, they are forced to start a family now or risk regretting it later. That’s the only way I can make sense of this bizarre scenario.
It’s off by default, but activated when you end your search query with a question mark. That option can be turned off.
I wonder how it works with pensions. In my EU country, you get about 25% extra on top of your gross salary that goes into a private pension fund, most or all of it paid by your employer. I know that the US has 401(k), of which I don’t know the details, but I believe it requires that the employee pays half and the company matches the amount. At the end of the ride, I wonder what your options are as a foreigner to cash out. If you choose to invest in your own country, the full amount will be paid from your gross salary. This is something that you need to take into account to get a clear picture of the net benefits.
Those net benefits should be weighed against having 25-35 paid holiday days, unlimited paid sick days, paid parental leave, social security benefits, etc. It might still be worth it, but my guess is that it’s more interesting for European countries with lower wages, as in that case the extra money might outweigh the loss of some benefits.
Though I’m sure that US companies are in many cases required to have a legal entity in the foreign country and must comply with local law, so then most of the benefits will remain.
Tengo cuenta en Twitter, pero no la uso. La única razón por la que no la he cerrado es por si la necesito para ver algún comentario. Tengo cuenta en Bluesky también, pero esa no uso tampoco. En Threads no tengo cuenta.
Mi plataforma favorita es Lemmy y anteriormente fue Reddit. Me gustan más este estilo de hilos y las comunidades. Hay una opción experimental en Bluesky para habilitar una vista de hilos, así que quizá lo usaré más a menudo en el futuro, pero hasta ahora ni siquiera sé a quién seguir.
