Reminds me of some code I saw running in production. Every time we added a new entry, we were pulling all the UUIDs from this table, generating a new UUID, and checking for collisions up to 10 times.
Given that providers of open source models can offer Kimi K2.5 at input $0.60 and output $2.50 per million tokens, I think the cost of inference must be around that. We would still need to compare the tokens per second.
There's a program called Hilo [1] in Québec where it's using the Hydro-Québec Rate Flex D [2] to automatically stop the heating during peak demand.
> With Rate Flex D, you can save quite a bit of money, since most of the time in winter, you’ll be charged less than the base rate, except during occasional peak demand events, when you’ll be charged more than the base rate.
There's a John Oliver episode about the chocolate industry, you can check it out on YouTube.
Of course there's no logo saying the chocolate is made with child slavery, I hope you didn't mean to be snarky here.
There are initiatives to try to alleviate the problem, the only example I have in mind right now is Tony's Chocolonely (which explains the problem and their solution on their website) but I'm sure others could come up with other initiatives.
The trends from top companies of chocolate is that they try to do as little as possible to alleviate the problem of child slavery in chocolate production.
But this hasn't applied for self-driving cars, there has been huge amounts of money poured into it and very smart people working on the problem and yet the results have not really been up to the level.
You can read around [1], but getting a visa in Germany right now takes multiple months, which is probably too much for most companies.

There is good content that is being produced in Quebec, you just have to look out for it and not expect Hollywood quality production. Xavier Dolan, Denis Villeneuve and Jean-Marc Vallée (rip), Monia Chokri and more, all started their career in Quebec thanks to legislation around creating French content.
The "90% bad TV" also happens everywhere, especially in the US. The number of CSI spinoffs must be really high.
One of the dangers from YouTube/streaming platforms in regard to French Canadian content is that the economics is just not the same. For example, Linus Tech Tips have a global reach since it's English content. M. Net (now defunct tech show in Quebec) or something similar would not even be closed to compete monetarily.
We've seen GPT-3 comments being banned from Stack Overflow. I also saw some people just copying the answer from ChatGPT to answer comments on Reddit. The good thing is that they all follow a certain structure that internet comments mostly don't follow, so they are easy to spot.
> Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the department assessed PSSI $15,138 for each minor-aged employee who was employed in violation of the law. The amount is the maximum civil money penalty allowed by federal law.
Actors are much more than just talents, by which I mean being able to carry emotions, being charismatic and delivering lines in the way a director wants it.
There is an undeniable human aspect to it that AI won't ever be able to replace. Sure, it'll probably be an important part of the industry, but saying all future media is going to be 24/7 AI generated content like that Seinfeld twitch stream is a pretty bleak view of the future.
We watch movies because we try to connect with people and share our feelings with humans. I can't relate to an AI.
The Titanic cost $7.5 million to build, which is $200 million in today's money (as of 2020) [1]. I'm pretty confident this is not the cost of the average flat in London.
