What are these Manjaro controversies?

Ads don’t work on me CMV

Though it’s probably because advertisers never promote things I actually want.

There’s a YouTuber (Technology Connections) who’s really into heat pumps, which is the tech responsible for refrigerators and air conditioners.

Being a millionaire is easily doable now on a regular 9-5 job if you’re paid fairly. In my city at least, I can tell you that a software dev can reach millionaire status within about 20 years of work. No fraud needed unless you count ETF investments or software dev as fraud.

Not just afford a one bedroom apartment. They should be able to do so and also afford to go to work. You can get housing for next to nothing in bumfuck nowhere, but if you can’t get to work while living there, then there’s no point.

I have no idea what I’m even missing out on by not paying for Discord but others are happy to pay for it, so I think that’s a pretty reasonable offering. I can’t speak for the YouTube and Tiktok example though since I don’t use those.

Colloquially, average is the mean. Mathematically, average can be either mean, median, or mode.

Much faster to skim the contents of an article than a video.

While true on paper, they don’t have any actual power here.

Bro, they’re next door

Could be. Classification is a type of problem. LLM is a type of model. You can use LLMs to solve classification problems. There’s a good chance that’s what’s happening here.

development of this model over the years required X TWh of power

This part is kind of hard to measure. When do you start counting? From the first work that informed the research direction eventually leading to this model? From the point where the concept of this final model first came about? Do you split the energy usage between multiple models that came from the same work?

To me, it’s mainly gluten content. Cake is fluffy while bread is more chewy. You can have sweet breads and savoury breads. I imagine you can have savoury cakes too, but I’ve never had so I don’t know how good that would be.

I have no qualms about AI being used in products. But when you have to tell me that something is “powered by AI” as if that’s your main selling point, then you do not have a good product. Tell me what it does, not how it does it.

Oh, so you mean local vs external, not browser-based vs other local solutions.
