Can universities just force in person tests without access to an LLM?


I don't know why you are being downvoted.

They can't see your messages but then can give ips or accounts that can be inferred to be related given the info meta has access to


Also take the "can't see your messages" statement with a grain of salt. Like the famous Lotus Notes backdoor [1] they might have given the government an easy(ier) way to decrypt those messages.

The backdoor in Lotus Notes (differential cryptography) wasn't a secret. It was public information. Ray Ozzie used it as a way to circumvent US encryption export laws. Today companies have to be more discrete.

a faraday cage should do the trick


Bandwidth it’s at 273 GB/s for the m4 pro. I hope the m4 max is two times that. It will allow using llama 70b a little bit faster


My girlfriend bought some Chinese WiFi plugs from Amazon to use with Alexa. I wonder how many of these devices are doing this from time to time. Amazon has tons of generic devices that connect to your WiFi network


You should use PPP instead of GDP because GDP does not represent local purchase power


Looks like nuclear with proper waste disposal is they way to go


It is not. Proper waste disposal is an unsolved issue that extends beyond so many human generations. Also I suspect that social licence and NIMBYism will make it impossible to build them in time to save us from global warming.


Based on the conclusions in this comment thread, any energy source more exotic than a wood campfire is unacceptably damaging.


I get the joke but let me just mention that wood campfire is one of the worst solutions (if done at scale). This may sound idealistic (like the other comments mentioned) but I think we just have to reduce our energy footprint and then many solutions will be green again.

One great example (some will say absurd and impractical) is just using energy whenever it is available, with minimum storage. That means cooking, heating water etc. during the day (or when the wind is high) and only using lighting and low-energy devices at night. Factories could work on a similar principle (producing more in the summer) but then we would have to rearrange a lot more stuff to suit the seasonal renewable energy production capabilities.

This may sound absurd but it only shows how much we are locked in our way of thinking about how reality is supposed to work, not what it is. There's no reason to have high quality on-demand electrical energy available 24/7/365 other than convenience. Convenience that fossil fuels brought us.


What sort of onboarding path do you see to get a majority of the energy consumers (both the populace and industry) willing to accept this? How could the public will to make that change be created?

This feels like about as useful a solution as saying "the US could balance their budget by simply disbanding their military". Would it work if implemented? Sure. Would the resulting world be arguably better than before? Quite possibly. Is there a path to that outcome from the present day with a nonzero chance of success? Well...


Dynamic energy pricing with smart power-hungry appliances controlled by the energy producer would be a great start.


Would it be hard to expand it as global endeavour?


Governments would never agree on what to show or hide.


We will know at the end of it and we will recreate it.

Or at least I hope that's the outcome


Maybe it's a quality control issue?.I ordered a fully spec'd macbook pro and it had a small dent in the frame of the screen. It's really small but still piss me off that I paid 4k+ for a device that was not pristine when I opened the package


Did you take it in?


I did. I waited 3 months to get it and really needed a new one. But like I said it's not something to see in a new product
