This makes more sense when the compute is tied to local solar, so excess generation can be turned into useful processing instead of being wasted or exported cheaply. That is closer to the Lektra model.
The Volga Hydroelectric Station, located on the Volga River, directly impacts the Caspian Sea. The Volga River, Europe’s longest, flows into the Caspian Sea and contributes about 80% of its freshwater inflow. The construction of the Volga Hydroelectric Station and other dams along the river has altered its natural flow, reducing the volume of water reaching the Caspian Sea. This reduction has contributed to the sea’s declining water levels.

In the late 1980s, I went on an expedition along Kazakhstan's eastern shore of the Caspian Sea. One of our stops was supposed to be a fishing village, but when we got there, it was completely empty. Hundreds of mud huts sat abandoned as everyone had just disappeared. In one of the yards, a camel was still there. It felt haunting, like walking through a ghost town. The strangest part? There was no sea anywhere nearby! The Caspian had dried up so quickly that people had to leave their homes behind because they couldn’t live there anymore.
The paper "RAG vs Fine-tuning: Pipelines, Tradeoffs, and a Case Study on Agriculture" compares Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuning techniques in Large Language Models (LLMs). It proposes pipelines and evaluates their trade-offs using popular LLMs like GPT-4. The paper includes a detailed case study in agriculture to provide location-specific insights to farmers. Results show that fine-tuning improves model accuracy significantly, and when combined with RAG, it enhances accuracy even further. The paper demonstrates how LLMs can be adapted for industry-specific knowledge, potentially transforming various industrial domains.
The issue is not really that the government is bad, the problem is it has become a proxy for ultra rich to push their agenda. You can probably make it more efficient by limiting corporate sponsorship and making it more transparent. Millennials don't have many options or tools at their disposal to influence the direction we are heading.
I am surprised no one mentioned Digg here. It was the original Reddit. Arguably its demise is attributed by inflow of VCs capital following by pivoting direction. Which resulted in community leaving for Reddit.
I am not going to reveal any more information that I already have. I respect his will to stay anonymous.
It was just an emotional post without a thought of provoking a witch-hunt.
Satoshi has been an inspiration to me, I apologize for any inconvenience I might cause.
Open a map, close your eyes and point randomly.
Pack you backpack, buy tickets and go there without any reservation. Spend at least 1 month away from home, comfort and routine.
When you are back you will know exactly what to do.
