How will they maintain their office real estate portfolio if the demand for offices drops precipitously?

I’m for eliminating one minority.

The bourgeoisie.

Modern studies using freezers with well-understood properties have observed the Mpemba effect where water supercools before freezing. Water that starts out cooler tends to reach a lower supercooled temperature before freezing.

Also from the Wikipedia article.

If you define the Mpemba effect as hot water reaching 0 degrees faster, then no, it’s not observable. But if you define the Mpemba effect as heated water freezing sooner, (remembering that freezing can initiate below the “freezing point” when water is subcooled) then the Mpemba effect may be observed.

If true, it would be interesting that cool water is less likely to nucleate and form ice than water that was heated.

It’s the whataboutism they so gladly point out only when it suits them

The shutdown concession fell flat on its face, you could say

There’s Mayday/Air Crash Investigation, but it’s less drama and more documentary

Alternatively, a more generous interpretation was he was trying to gain ground to topple it from within. That’s if you want to give him that much credit.

Can confirm. I’ve been in a room exactly like that, where they had an antenna mounted on one wall like the above picture, an RF reflector mounted on the opposite wall, and RF dampening cones on every surface, so that they could measure the frequency curve at a distance twice that of the size of the room (the curve changes with distance)

Big Bounce is cool, but heat death isn’t such a bad thing after all because - and I’m no astrophysicist - I’ve always had a pet theory that a universe as complex as ours could emerge spontaneously from a void of nothing given quantum fluctuations and infinite time.

You’re actually wrong about the specifics of energy usage. The vast majority of energy usage of a model comes from its usage, not from its training. But you are right that the energy usage of an individual prompt is relatively small, roughly comparable to 15 or so Google searches.

The problem is when you process billions of prompts every day.

two hundred thousand!

Right but the actual quantities are arbitrary. A metre is a fixed fraction of the speed of light in a vacuum, but it’s an arbitrary fraction chosen because it was convenient. We could just as well have chosen it to be half or twice as long. Same with the second. And the kilogram, etc.

wtf they’re like 50¢/lb here

Listen if you’re working for Meta you’re basically already set
