But doesn’t that count as an accident? Kids who play with fireworks don’t cram a steel can full of black powder imagining how cool it would be to loose your fingers and eyes.

And why does the government need to have so many people inspecting industrial facilities? Can’t a single person handle the entire country? On second thought, that takes money, and the goal was to cut spending. Just have the companies send reports every 20 years and we’re all good. I’m sure they’ll do a great job with notifying the government if something violates regulations.

It’s a power efficiency thing. According to the article, a GPU gets the job done, but uses more energy to get there. Probably not a big deal unless charging opportunities are scarce.

So, if you own a coal plant and the government is spending time and money on regulating your livelihood, then that would be an obvious thing to cut from the budget.

”However, if it is performance you are concerned about, "it's important to note that GPUs still far outperform NPUs in terms of raw performance," Jessop said, while NPUs are more power-efficient and better suited for running perpetually.”

Ok, so if you want to run your local LLM on your desktop, use your GPU. If you’re doing that on a laptop in a cafe, get a laptop with an NPU. If you don’t care about either, you don’t need to think about these AI PCs.

Tragedy or comedy? Why not both?

There are so many contradictions with his plans and reality, that it’s just wild. Then again, that’s how pre-election fluff talk works.

Trump is also planning to increase exports. However, many customers are aware of the climate impact their actions have, so buying from environmentally ethical sources isn’t just a fantasy any more. Companies and individual consumers are beginning to care about these things, which could have an impact on those ambitious export plans.

If you merely abandon your account, the change can be seen in the MAU statistics. If you delete it instead, you’ll make sure you won’t slip in the future. Either way, investors care about the active users, because the total number of accounts isn’t a very useful number to them.

Oh, that’s interesting. Lucky you, I guess. The algorithms have been tuned to be as engaging as possible, and that seems to be working for most people. Obviously, it’s impossible to make it work for literally everyone, and you seem to be one of the few who can escape the algorithm.

The lack of an algorithm is a solution. Social media tends to be too addictive to the point it can be harmful to humans, so Mastodon was intentionally designed to be less addictive.
