Quantum entangled particles can't influence each other; they just allow you to infer information about one particle by observing the other. It's like if you randomly put a red and a blue ball in two different boxes without looking, then moved them far apart. Opening one box and seeing a red ball instantly tells you the other box has a blue ball, no matter the distance, but no information has been transmitted faster than the speed of light (because the boxes can only move slower than light).
If you're not on the same local network as the server and it's not configured to be accessible from the general internet, you need some sort of proxy to access it.
Yeah this seems fine; if they're proxying the stream through their server it's using their bandwidth which costs them money. It doesn't make sense for them to not charge for it.
True, my estimate for tokens may have been a bit low. Assuming a 7 hour school day where someone talks at 5 tokens/sec you'd encounter about 120k tokens. You're off by 3 orders of magnitude on your energy consumption though; 1 watt-hour is 0.86 food Calories (kcal).
Around a year ago I bet a friend $100 we won't have AGI by 2029, and I'd do the same today. LLMs are nothing more than fancy predictive text and are incapable of thinking or reasoning. We burn through immense amounts of compute and terabytes of data to train them, then stick them together in a convoluted mess, only to end up with something that's still dumber than the average human. In comparison humans are "trained" with maybe ten thousand "tokens" and ten megajoules of energy a day for a decade or two, and take only a couple dozen watts for even the most complex thinking.
I liked generative AI more when it was just a funny novelty and not being advertised to everyone under the false pretenses of being smart and useful. Its architecture is incompatible with actual intelligence, and anyone who thinks otherwise is just fooling themselves. (It does make an alright autocomplete though).
I have; it goes to what seems like a pretty normal server with an owner that has apparently been completely inactive. Nothing obviously sketchy but I didn't stick around long.
That sucks, it's always hit or miss with weather. I was obsessively watching the forecasts and ended up driving 3 hours away where clearer skies were predicted.
As a teenager who is relatively tech-savvy and on the fediverse, can confirm. I think it's gotten to the point where even less technically inclined people can join fairly easily, but the more savvy are usually the first to flee from enshittifying platforms so we see a lot more of them here.
I left back in 2023; didn't do anything besides purging my posts and comments and deleting my account. No sense doing anything spectacular, you're just wasting your own time and causing more overall engagement on the platform. Though I suppose posting about the fediverse wouldn't be the worst idea.
