  • [Opinion] AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles

    Jump

  • Had to look up Chat GPT's energy usage because you made me curious.

    Seems like Open AI claims Chat GPT 4o uses about 0.34 Wh per "query." This is apparently consistent with third party estimates. The average Google search is about 0.03 Wh, for reference.

    Issue is, "query" isn't defined, and it's possible this figure is the energy consumption of the GPUs alone, omitting additional sources that comprise the full picture (energy conversion loss, cooling, infrastructure, etc.). It's also unclear if this figure was obtained during model training, or during normal use.

    I also briefly saw that Chat GPT 5 uses between 18-40 Wh per query, so 100x more than GPT 4o. The OP used GPT 5.

    It sounds like the energy consumption is relatively bad no matter how it's spun, but consider that it replaces other forms of compute and reduces workload for people, and the net energy tradeoff may not be that bad. Consider the task from the OP - how much longer/how many more people would it take to accomplish the same result that GPT 5 and the lone author accomplished? I bet the net energy difference isn't that far from zero.

    Here's the article I found: https://towardsdatascience.com/lets-analyze-openais-claims-about-chatgpt-energy-use/

  • Watt is not a unit of energy, it's a unit of power [Joules/second]. This definition doesn't change between kinetic and electrical contexts.

  • China mass producing quantum radars to track US stealth jets

    Jump

  • This article essentually summarizes a report from China but doesn't give the report's title, authors, or web link. This whole article is hearsay without providing the source material.

    Also, why does it read like it was written by a middle schooler with zero technical understanding? You'd expect better quality from a website named "Interesting Engineering."

    "They send out photons whose quantum properties changes once they hit the stealth aircraft. This means that even the false signals generated by the aircraft would not be able to match the properties of the photons emitted by quantum radars."

    Like, what does that even mean? I would check the source material, but I can't because we're not told what it is.

    Is all journalism this bad these days?

  • Got it, I'll try this tomorrow evening. Thanks again for your help so far!

  • I'm running a desktop with relatively new hardware. Amd 5900x CPU, AMD 7900 GRE GPU, 32 GB ram, plenty of space and good airflow for stable thermals.

    The freeze is definitely at least frozen desktop and mouse/keyboard. I also tried changing terminal sessions after a freeze tonight and this had no effect, so it's probably the whole system?

    Good idea with playing sound, I will try this on my next boot.

  • Debian 12. When the freezing first started, I lied to myself saying it'll self-correct with time. I've since lost track of which timeshift backup to use. I am a silly fool.

    And there was no kernel update afaik.

  • It froze again tonight. Neither ctrl+alt+del spam nor trying to change terminal session worked unfortunately. Seems to be 100% locked up.

  • Thanks for the comment.

    It froze again tonight, I tried ctr+alt+del spam and nadda, no response.

    I have not tried changing tty ctrl+alt+fn, but I will in the next session. Same with REISUB (not sure what this is yet).

    My first guess for root cause was a ram leak, but my system monitor shows little activity when these crashes/freezes occur. Not that this is a perfect method of ruling this out, but my resource usage doesn't smell fishy at least.

  • Whole system freezes unfortunately. The only silver lining is that I know exactly what time the crash occurred, since my clock freezes too!

  • No red text from journalctl unfortunately. My last few sessions each end with different messages too. One is a KDE Connect warning, a few others echoing some commands I sent in the terminal, etc. No red errors.

    The system freezes permanently, requiring a reboot.

    I have an AMD GPU, and likely have OpenGL installed.

  • It's both stupid expensive and the jobs don't pay enough anymore. I can make the same salary as an engineer working a trade or any other white collar job.

    I'm sure the growing distrust in science and general stupidity didn't help either.

  • People of Lemmy, what does your egg carton look like? No fair changing the setup for the picture.

    Jump

  • If you reverse your order, the carton will feel more stable in your hands as you use up your eggs. This is because the carton's mass density moves towards the outer edges, increasing the moment of inertia.

    I'm fun at parties, I swear.
