I have an extreme dislike for OpenAI, Altman, and people like him, but the reasoning behind this article is just stuff some guy has pulled from his backside. There’s no facts here, it’s just “I believe XYX” with nothing to back it up.

We don’t need to make up nonsense about the LLM bubble. There’s plenty of valid enough criticisms as is.

By circulating a dumb figure like this, all you’re doing is granting OpenAI the power to come out and say “actually, it only uses X amount of power. We’re so great!”, where X is a figure that on its own would seem bad, but compared to this inflated figure sounds great. Don’t hand these shitty companies a marketing win.

What are you talking about?

Debian is stable.

I’ve banked in South Africa, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Ireland, and the UK. More if you include using British or Polish bank accounts in other countries. The banking sector in the UK is by far and away the most competitive of all those places. Fees are basically non-existent.

You think it’s nationalist to say the UK has a competitive banking sector? Lmao you are crazy. I think you’re projecting there.

I caught you blatantly lying. £30 fee for being overdrawn? That’s way above the legal limit. It literally couldn’t have happened. The most you will have been charged for being £5 overdrawn is the amount overdrawn with a 40% APR, for the amount of days overdrawn.

I.e. if you were overdrawn by £5, then didn’t move £5 back into your account by the end of the day, you would’ve been charged (5*1.4)/365=£0.02

I tell you that in fact, just like the EU, a new payment processing system is being created, and you go straight into denialism and pretend it’s not happening.

Take your weirdly-placed xenophobia out of here. I don’t know why you’re lying over something so inconsequential.

So much text here, and yet so incorrect. Little fees? Lol, so uninformed. The amount of little fees for things you get charged for by banks pretty much anywhere outside of the UK is pretty crazy.

Then topped off with a “they’re working on it? Well I say they’re not!!!” lmao

At least try to make your post believable if you’re going to lie.

The banking sector is very competitive in the UK compared to pretty much any other country, so dodgy behaviour from banks/payment processors wasn’t very frequent.

More recently, however, just like the EU, the UK is working on their own system right now. The EU doesn’t have a unified payment processing system either, just a patchwork of different ones.

My point is that your comment makes it sound like gun control would solve nothing. That patently isn’t the case.

The knife homicide rate is literally higher in the US.

The one child policy and the nightmare that will cause is not just a social policy.

And yes, China’s infrastructure is very very impressive, however it’s also true that when everything has been built in the past 30 years, it’s inevitably going to be a lot more efficient and modern than a country that has a lot of legacy baggage. A prime example of that is probably the UK, who are still trying to keep Victorian-era rail infrastructure working. Tearing out old stuff and replacing it is time consuming, complex, and expensive.

You’ve not heard of shady banking, Nazi gold, reluctance to stop dealing with Russia, women not being able to vote until the 70s, and Nestle?

Switzerland gets aggressively simped for online, and there’s certainly some nice things about them, but there’s also some pretty awful things.
