good point. i don’t kill them though, silly, there are people to do it for me.

Also, unlike us, animals eat literal grass which does not require all kinds of fossil fuel machines, tons of earth-polluting pesticides, you know, stuff like that. Also we don’t need to exterminate trees in order to be able to herd them, you know, that long things sticking up from the ground, producing oxygen, green all the spring, summer, and even autumn, unlike wheat and stuff.

well duh. Not my point. It was just so funny that you actually used kinda the same rhetorics as meatlovers usually do.

Anyway, i still wanna adress your arguments. We can live without meat in the same manner we can live without plants. Good luck on getting your minimal daily value of b12 or d3. You can always get them in the form of pills, too bad animals still will be hurt for that. Fatty acids and fats are important too, as the modern studies show (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5577766/ ), what about them? My point is, you can have no meat in your diet just as you can have a meat only nutrition, both need to be adjusted with bioactive supplements.

Also, since most guys here don’t know any better than simply to press the vote down button without actually answering, and you seem to be the one that actually wants to discuss the topic, may i ask you a question? How come that we blame meat industry, and i cite (surprisingly, from wikipedia page for meat), for global warming, pollution and biodiversity loss (last one actually surprised me), while it is our endless fields of wheat are the reason we have little to no forests where they were normal not so long ago, therefore less co2 being processed back into o2, and it is this very fields we cover in chemicals therefore the pollution and biodiversity loss. I mean, it almost seem like meat industry is just a handy target to blame, while certain guys can continue doing their business.

some say we can’t live without meat

If you care about CO2 that much, go strangle a billionaire or two, or, i don’t know, go change how our whole grocerie system works, because if you didn’t know, everything we find at stores is produced with great margin. Most of the product simply being destroyed simply to keep the prices where they are.

I certainly don’t care about CO2. Why? “We all die”? No, silly, some of us will (both of us most certainly), but don’t underestimate our species’ adaptability. And you know what, it’s fucking beautiful because eight billion is a bit too much. That’s a perfect self regulation kinda thing.

Its nonsense to eat that much meat. Once a month is perfectly fine.

Its nonsence to eat such overprocessed food as some of you vegans do i could say. Not that i would mean it. All I’m saying, the amount of any type of food is a matter of personal preference, And since we both live at the time when we could afford such a luxurious thing as an ability to choose what to eat, and not just consume whatever we were able to find/produce, i would like to try to enjoy this little bliss. Fuck you guys for even attempting to ruin it for me, and then telling me what to do, you brave don quixotes fighting your imaginary windmills.

yeah, yummy meat. I like it a lot. Sometimes i salt it than dry it myself, and god, does it taste delicious. I might be bothered by the cruelty of all this meat industry, but guess what, if i were to choose, i’d rather be a farm pig. Anything actually that does not comprehend the cruelty of this reality, and i’m not talking about farms here. Also, unlike most of us they go away quickly.

P.S. fyi, latest studies show that plants might also feel the pain. Sorry to disappoint you guys, but it seems like we are just doomed to bring more suffering in this world. You better find a way to cope with this before it became more researched.

Maybe the OP can’t read scientific notation?

there’s a lot to optimize in LLMs and i never said otherwise. Though, photonic computers if the field would be researched, could consume as much as an LED lamp making it even more effective than our brain. given the total amount of computers in the world, even the slightest power consumption optimization would save colossal amount of energy, and in case of photonics the raw numbers could possibly be unimagineable.

Regarding research…

I bet they simply will find a way to greatly simplify the mathematical apparatus of the neuron interaction. Matrix multiplication is kinda slow and there’s lots of it

under the “reinventing computers” i mean chosing another information transfering entity for our processing units. For instance, photonics is a perspective field, as photons are much smaller, thus potentially we could make even smaller logical elements also as they produce much less heat.

What’s about ML architechture, of course it won’t be the tech bros, of course it would be scientists, but don’t forget that untill someone sponsors them, the research could take literal decades before there will be discovered anything revolutional. Scientists are not some kind of gurus who live in moutains and fed by the energy of the sun. In order to make a living they have jobs besides scientific research. That’s why grants and other research funding methods do exist. And as you could’ve guessed, these are greatly dependant on guys with money and their interest in said researchi.

I’ve already thought that in terms of major progression AI has peaked as early as in 2022 when chatgpt and various diffusers were all hyped up. It was kinda obvious, since our silicon tech is already basically maxed out. There are lots of potential optimizations, but they are minor advancements compared to the raw compute power growth we’ve had till the near past. And in order to make the next revolution in the AI field, those moneybags will have to spend the colossal amount of money to basically reinvent either computers themselves or the ML architechture.

why would your skin color be a reason for an insult?

i’m using it for half a year or so. Have done multiple system upgrades by now. My only question is “how!?”. How did they manage to break it? I have lots of AURs installed, i did intall some python dependencies with pip --break-system-packages, it still runs perfectly.
