Is it now?
The quest 2 tests between 30 to 60. Sure Intel has tech coming that says it'll get it to 5, but we'll have to see.
Honestly all I would really care about it the price. If it's another $1,500 AR I'm not going to care if it's 2ms.

BB10 was, too. Magic Eraser has nothing on what BB10 did, almost ten years ago, but we live in an app-driven world.

You can also download custom Civitai models into the app. Go to Civitai and click the green arrow to see if it's compatible before downloading. The best option to download is the safetensors format +pruned if possible. Pruned uses less disk space, and the only downside is that you can't use it to train new models. Model training requires a 12GB GPU so you aren't going to be able to train a new model on an iphone anyway.

Not really. The UAE built their new reactors quickly and cheaply. Japan used go build reactor incredibly fast, but unfortunately has turned sour on nuclear.

This is a serious question, you would watch weeks/months of video looking for one person? How would you be able to identify the person wearing this hoodie from another time they were not wearing it?

It depends on what AI you're using. Feet comparison between Midjourney and StableDiffusion.

Yep. And that’s a job for AI in big systems (say at a Walmart or federal building)

Are you on a newer iphone? There are apps like this for iphones. I know some people are trying to get android apps too, but the ones I know of are run on the cloud and include ads, so using Google colab might be a better option.

Nuclear is costly even in countries that are very much in favor of it.
We can have diversity while only using renewables and storage; we have a wide range of types of them, with more being developed.
I wouldn't bet against another few decades of cost decreases in renewables and storage. Graphene, organics, new catalysts, bio-fuels (not corn ethanol), flow batteries, all show a lot of promise.

Yea that us market only fyi… those numbers so you are off by a cool 1M cars..
I will hold my ground that going from ICE to EV isnt just “building cars”. Completely different.
Sandy Munro is the person to listen to and does these analyses for a job. Tesla is way in the lead and they make more money per car, build better cars. Good luck on where ever you get your info. Because if its not Sandy you are smoking something.

Now do that, but just include search.
I'm not a fan of either company, but they're not even in the same league there.

Nuclear costs would drop significantly if we would let them. Renewable and batteries won't drop forever as well. Regardless, it's vitally important to have diversity of supply. The more sources of power you have the more resilient your grid will be.

> the past year’s supply chain disruptions have made nuclear more appealing, showing just how volatile energy prices can be.
Um, a tech that requires many years or a decade to build, and then 20-40 years to operate to be profitable, is a good fit for "volatile energy prices" ?

True that, it will be good for stock photos which don't need copyright. I was thinking of those few "AI commission artists" I saw on Deviantart, who were competing with traditional commission artists. But IMO the lack of copyright and the current state of AI art should help slow down those people from being commonplace and preserve traditional art.

Well, you do need inverters and grid-tie and space and permits etc.

One problem is that you're trying to compete in a market where costs of renewables and storage decrease every year. You can't just hold steady with cost and schedule, you have to be something amazing. And steam-based nuclear never will be that.

Naval reactors have the advantage to having the Navy as a customer, who is used to spending billions of dollars for single ships. So naval reactors get the best material, equipment, and operators that are borderline in a cult.They also aren't expected to be profitable.
Civilian reactors don't have any of those advantages, normal size or mini.

> Turns out natural language models are great at generating natural language.
AIs are basically being designed to hack our brains by using "right-sounding" language to bypass our BS detectors with unearned confidence. This is what con-men do. We're building AI to con us at scale.
