  • Nah, the ounce is a unit of weight and volume. 55 gallons = 7040 fl oz ~= 7040 oz ~= 440 lbs = 200kg.

    Aren't American units great? Here's a nice converter for various things, including mayo, which is ~0.94 oz per fl oz. But generally speaking, a fluid ounce is roughly the same as a weight ounce, kind of like how a milliliter is roughly the same as a gram (exactly equal for water, while a fluid ounce isn't exactly equal to a weight ounce for water).

  • Do you have an alternate source that proves your point, or is your entire argument "because I said so"? Whether something avoids taxes or not has little to do with its credibility, you'll need stronger evidence than that.

    And I don't know what you mean by "polls are not accurate." Yeah, they're unreliable for certain things (I.e. predicting election results) because people lie and change their minds, and elections are generally decided on a per-state basis, so just one or two "flipping" is enough to turn an election. They're more reliable for other things, like tracking sentiment across a longer period of time.

    I certainly don't buy the "6 hours saved per week" statement here (that's self-reported and a small sample size), but I do buy that teachers are using AI more and more to assist w/ their work. Surveys can only tell you so much, and it's important to not read too much into them, but that doesn't mean they're worthless or misleading.

  • Exactly. If anyone is going to be using AI at the forefront, it should be teachers, for two reasons:

    • so they can teach students its proper use because it will come up
    • education is closely tracked, so we can see the impact of teachers relying on AI in student outcomes

    I think this is fantastic!

  • LLMs don't use that much energy once trained. We run some models on a Mac Mini at work, and that thing sips power. Since education materials don't change much, there's no reason to need an up-to-date model for most subjects.
