Don't these plants run 24/7? Even if each worker worked on 32 hours a week, they'd hire more workers so that the plant would be staffed 24/7, right? In that case, I don't see how that would lead to environmental benefit.
Yes, for someone with limited Linux experience, Unraid is a better choice than Proxmox. And, the experience gained through configuring Unraid will be applicable should you want to move to Proxmox later.
Is it that we don't know how to make concrete of equal/greater resilience? Or that modern concrete optimizes for something else (I'm guessing cost)? I didn't RTFA.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. I'm sorry for not seeing it for so long! If you can believe it, I just discovered the "inbox" in my lemmy app and am going through all the things people said to me over the past month.
This whole topic is really interesting to me. I hear what you're saying and imagine the distinctions you're drawing between these models and real brains are significant. I can't help but wonder, though, if we, as humans, might be poorly equipped to recognize the characteristics of emerging intelligence in the systems we create.
I am reminded vaguely of the Michael Crichton book Andromeda Strain (it has been many years since I read it, granted) wherein an alien lifeforms based on silicon, rather than carbon, was the major plot object. It is interesting to think that something like an alien intelligence might emerge in our own networked systems without our noticing. We are waiting for our programs to wake up and pass the Turing test. Perhaps, when they wake up, no one will even see because we are measuring the wrong set of things...
Fair, but I'm just saying, we can still catagorize upsetting things as upsetting, even if, personally, we've achieved equanimity with respect to our inability to effect any immediate change.
