Have you considered Hilleberg? They don’t seem to be on this list for yay or nay but I think their products are still manufactured in continental Europe. Not cheap but good reputation!

Edit: this thread was bundled in with a recent “repost,” sorry to drag you back in and as a fellow backpacker I hope you found a good tent!!

Sports in general seem to be controlled by right-wing people. Teams owned by right leaning folks, league directors who are conservatives, international conglomerates lead by people who are corrupt fascists. I don’t know the answer to this, but for some reason competitive athletics have been taken over by terrible people. These things will make it very difficult to find resolution for this, which is frustrating since I feel like women’s sports are really growing and this “distraction” isn’t a thing. Or shouldn’t be, I think.

Ok, this really helped. I took the statement in the article WAY to literally.

revolving around a camera that can manipulate real world objects

??? I have never heard of F-stop but how would this work? Especially then!

LLMs ingest tokens as input

This helps a lot! Thanks! It fits in well with your ball point pen comparison. I see why it scales poorly.

As for your second part, I really have nothing to say. I do not know much about investing, but your earlier comment said a lot about the societal side of things. Thanks for helping through this!

I have to admit that I do not understand most of what you said :(

But, I can see that (I think) you are saying that many people in South Korea invested in AI, and that is problematic. I do know that, as you said, LLMs are resource intensive and do not really work financially. If many people there invested in AI companies, I could see them also subscribing to them. I think.

My avoidance of AI has lead to me not knowing enough about it. I don’t know what you mean by token… This is a common theme for me today! I won’t be able to avoid this if I don’t educate myself.

Believe what you like, but you’re throwing the baby out with the bath water on that one

I need more info, I may be misinformed and likely don’t know all the things. I just remember hearing a lot of hullabaloo about it then. It seemed like it was supposed to be good for all three countries, and an agreement of sorts. I don’t understand how this stuff now can be a thing beyond Trump being seemingly unchecked.

Only an absolute concaveman

fair haha. I am older and avoid AI at all costs. Sounds like I need to learn a bigger picture! Also curious what you mean by concaveman… Same as caveman?

Taco Bell goes all in on AI order kiosks and drive through, people order 9999 waters

This also speaks a lot to the state of humanity. I may well be immature or uncreative, but if presented with an AI ordering interface, I would never think about this! I do deal with the public a great deal through the course of my job, and am frequently disappointed at the level of (my) perceived narcissism. Folks are butts.

Wow, these are challenging things. It sounds like they are in a tight spot, even if I do not understand where AI subscription fits in. 20-30 years in essentially tomorrow. It must be on their minds, and maybe explains using AI for what, I don’t know, but something.

Is that a thing that is being considered? I have to admit I do not know a lot about South Korea’s economy, but based on automotive and (I think) tech sectors, they sell things world-wide. At this point, it seems like USA has an economy crash risk. IMO

So NAFTA was really just about USA having the power. “Free trade” my foot. Hope Canada (and Mexico) can successfully navigate this. How awful.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. 25% seems like a pretty high uptake, I don’t understand the attraction but that’s a lot of people. Will that higher number mean that they will end up not seeing any worth in paying for it sooner than folks in USA?

Not who you replied to, but thanks for explaining! I saw the /j but still didn’t get it. I wasn’t a good chemistry student…

I wouldn’t be surprised if most red states have outdated water systems that are unable to be hacked remotely. Have to rely on good ol’ social engineering!! The operators probably have outdated brains that are susceptible.

Bill Clinton pulled out a saxophone to make liberal economics sexy and unfortunately it worked.

Both of these guys are too wrapped up in corruption to care, in my opinion. Really, it’s good US didn’t win because it would lead to more problems. Or maybe it is just delaying the problems? At this point it is clear FIFA can be bought. Multiple times now. Not sure the exact situation of Qatar but it isn’t a good look.

Ya Belgium didn’t need FIFA integrity to win this one. That late fourth goal had to feel rough for US! Hopefully this will make FIFA and US leadership restrain from this activity in the future but I have no hopes for that.

I have no excuses! Thank you for pointing this out. Not sure what my issue was earlier.

Interesting choice by Voyager. But it is nice that there are apps available for fediverse users who want them!
