You’re aware that LLMs all have persistent memory now and personalize themselves to you over time right? You can’t transfer that from OAI to Anthropic.
They make PLA ones, advertised as biodegradable, but AFAIK the settings for them to biodegrade never happen in nature, it's ever so slightly better than the alternatives but far from perfect, or even good.
> PLA is only biodegradable under industrial composting conditions and anaerobic digestion – there is no evidence of PLA being biodegradable in soil, home compost or landfill environment.
I read up on PLA when I got my 3D printer because it's popular material for that. From what I understand, it's biodegradable above 50° C. Not something you'll find outside Death Valley. Still better than most other options, but it would be nice if we had something that was stable for weeks and then degrades nicely.
Not all PLA are created equal though. Raw PLA pellets won't behave the same way a 3d printer filament choke full of dyes, additives to make them more UV resistance, &c.
There are plenty of posts of people putting 3d prints in compost piles, for months or years, and visually not much happens. Even stuff advertiser as bio don't fare that well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tavrkWrazWI
If you dig up a sufficiently old landfill you’ll find pristine newspapers.
The idea that you can coat much more resilient stuff in PFAS and label it “biodegradable” is at least as big a scam as California’s $0.10 “reusable” bags, or mixed stream recycling.
I’m for taking each use of plastic, by global volume, and then banning them, in order.
We should probably start with fishing nets.
Alternatively, the industry should need to produce 200% as much post-consumer recycled plastic made from the same grade as they’re manufacturing. This would act as a tax, strongly encouraging investment in more sustainable materials. Maybe drop that to 150% if the plastic in the product is 100% recycled.
Not patronising, this was exactly my first (and off-topic) thought as well.
We have lived in our house for +15 years and we still regularly find small fluorescent yellow ball bearings in the garden soil from the previous owners family. These things are here to stay
I haven’t played with airsoft since I was a kid, but I remember the biodegradable ones back then had issues. They would fall apart when you shot em, sometimes deteriorate inside the gun and muck it up.
The cards are the easy part. It's setting up 100,000 accounts where you run into trouble. There was some traceable payment methods in use here, which might be how they got busted by the Secret Service. The whole thing could have been fallout from an earlier counterfeiting operation.
100k Not sure. Good question! 100 is easy, in NL you can just grab boxes of them at certain phone shops, Lebara etc. These are free and anonymous. Sometimes they will stop you and say: these are only for clients, other times they are happy if you take the whole box of 100pcs.
Any city would be a bad place for a rocket (test) launch facility, 'collapsing' due to mining or not.
Luckily the city is some 44 km drive away from the launch site.
And there's still people living in Kiruna, it's not collapsing but affected still in some shape of form. Heard on some podcast that mining blasts are timed to reduce the disturbance and some buildings (or their inhabitants probably) relocated, IIRC.
Not if you run it idle a lot; most commercial blade servers suck down a lot of power. I think a niche where Pi blades can work is for a learning cluster, like in schools for HPC learning, network automation, etc.
It's definitely not suited for production, but there, you won't find old blade servers either (for the power to performance issue).
