Attacking people posting facts for having a different opinion and calling them 'fascist'?

pritambaral · 3 months ago

Here's what you did, paraphrased:

"It was the Hyundai Corpo that broke the law! They're stealing American jobs! That's why ICE targeted them! No, I have no evidence, only blind belief. Why are you even asking me for evidence?! What about when Hyundai did bad things in the past???!!?1?"

----

If it:

1. Repeats the arguments of fascists.

2. Defends fascists.

3. Attacks the victims of fascists.

What do you think it is? A duck?!

>When it is operational, probably. But right now it is being built and most of the Korean workers were engineers and technicians specializing in installing, testing, and bringing up highly technical specialized battery manufacturing equipment from Korea.

OK good point. But then why hasn't Hyundai US management made sure to get their imported workers legal visas or that the people they hired had their visas up to date? Surely when you're running a business visa and immigration laws is another one of the things on your checklist, similar to having to follow OHSA laws, fire safety, fire drills, first aid, diversity and sensitivity training, etc and all the other stuff companies operating in the US have to follow.

Also be aware, my original comment was target that person's comment specifically, not the issues from the article.

Who says they didn't? There is only one party here who acted in bad faith, and it wasn't Hyundai.

In fact, this party has a — by now well-established — track-record of precisely this bad behaviour. They haven't even tried to hide their actions, only their individual faces. They've been public about their disdain for the law, for humanity, and their general evil plans.

And here you are accusing their victims of crimes you, like them, have no evidence of.

The legends on the graphs are so small, that I can't read them on my smartphone ... and of course the Website does not allow me to zoom in >_>

Firefox on Android has a setting to force enable zoom on all websites, even those that disable it.

I think you underestimate how much energy in your food is.

1 kcal = 4200 joules

1 Watthours = 3600 joules

The Taco Bell double decker has 310 kcal = 1.3M joules

1.3M joules = 0.35 kWh

If each AI prompt takes 0.3 Wh, you could do ca. 1200 prompts per double decker. Which is a lot.

> you could do ca. 1200 prompts per double decker. Which is a lot.

If humans had evolved to do prompts (while retaining everything else that makes human thought human), that number doesn't sound that big.

OTOH, if LLMs had to do everything humans need energy for, that number would be waaay too big for LLMs.

----

Humans don't even have an efficient energy input system. How many of those 1.3M joules actually get assimilated? Silicon is a lot more efficient at energy, because a lot of effort has been put into making it so, and is fed raw energy. It doesn't need to process food like humans, humans already did that for it when they captured the energy in electricity.

----

I'm sure there's more ways of making the comparison more fair, but I doubt your parent was trying to prove their claim with such deep research. So let me try another angle: No human can burn through as much energy as the top hosted LLMs do for one prompt, in as much time.

Y is used as a vowel when it's between two consonants, and a consonant when it's not. A word like "Synchronize" uses y as a vowel, but a word like "Yellow" uses it as a consonant. Honestly, it's more vowel-like then consonant-like in every case I can think of, so maybe that rule is kind of weak, and it should be counted as a vowel all of the time...

> a vowel when it's between two consonants, and a consonant when it's not.

Not a hard rule, honestly.

Some Indian languages exhibit a blurring of sorts with Ye- sounds. E.g., in Telugu, the word for 'How' is 'yela', which is often also pronounced as 'ela'. TBF, Telugu also blurs Ve-/We- sounds similarly.

The feature that keeps me from moving off of vscode is their markdown support. In particular the ability to drag and drop to insert links to files and images *. Surprisingly, no other editor does this even though I use it all the time.

Interesting.

I belong to the class of people who believe in customising their tools as they please. So I'd have written an Emacs package to do this. But then again, this is Emacs, so someone's probably already done it. Oh, here it is: https://github.com/mooreryan/markdown-dnd-images

Firefox has no profiles. It has a bunch of hacks, such as containers, which are cumbersome to use. Chromium provides separate windows with different profiles, and Firefox should follow Chromium here. Firefox's "solution" forces you to switch Github tabs between personal and work containers constantly.

> Firefox has no profiles.

Patently false. Been using profiles for years.

> bunch of hacks, such as containers, which are cumbersome to use. Firefox's "solution" forces you to switch Github tabs between personal and work containers constantly.

Rarely have I had to that. Until I added rules to open certain URLs in specific containers.

> Chromium provides separate windows with different profiles, and Firefox should follow Chromium here.

Absolutely not. Profiles are a poor "alternative" to containers. How do I add a rule to pin URLs to specific profiles? How would that even work, if it did? A new window for some links? Re-use some random window with the same profile? How do I switch to it? Switch back? Don't tell me to use the Window Manager via Alt-Tab. I organise tabs into windows by shared context.

Then there's the whole issue of sync. Profiles don't share anything. Each profile needs to be configured individually. I like not having to add uBlock Origin to every browser profile. I like not having to think if I have my password for this rarely visited site in this profile or another one. Or a bookmark. Or form info.

----

Just because containers have no use to you / you couldn't find a use for them, doesn't mean the rest of us also shouldn't have the luxury of using this feature. Feel free to use Profiles as you'd like. Leave what works for us alone.
