Also, the fact they they announce not how much computing power they are going to deploy but rather how much electricity it's going to use (as if power usage is a useful measurement of processing power) is kind of gross.
"Good news everybody, your power bills are going up and your creaking, chronically underfunded infrastructure is even closer to collapse!"
Build this thing in the middle of the desert and you would need around 100 sq mile of solar panels + a fuck load of batteries for it to be energy independent. The solar farm would be around $10 billion which is probably far less than the gpus cost
100 square miles is small in the American southwest. And a solar farm would disrupt the ecosystem much less than many other land uses. Adding shade and cover will benefit many species.
Burning 10GW of fossil fuels for 20 years while waiting for the nuclear plants to finish building will do far more damage to the environment than 100 square miles of shade in the desert.
Environmentalists are just against progress. A few desert species going extinct is not a big deal. It's an arid wasteland. When we eventually terraform it (with desalinated water from solar / fusion) those species are going to die out anyway.
I assumed this headline was not aimed at the public, but at some utility they want to convince to expand capacity. Otherwise, bragging about future power consumption seems a bit perplexing.
Exactly this. This is essentially a new consumer tax in your electrical bill. The buildout of the electrical grid is being put on consumers essentially as a monthly tax with the increase in electrical costs. Everyone in the country is paying for the grid infrastructure to power these data centers owned by trillion dollar companies who aren't paying for their needs.
Yep. Consumers are screwed and $500/month electric bills are coming for the average consumer within a year or two. We do not have the electricity available for this.
Thanks! I’ll have a free tier, but advanced features (like commit message generation) do have a usage cost, so I'm targeting $5–10/month, depending on usage patterns. During beta, the focus is on getting it into as many hands as possible and learning from real-world usage.
I appreciate the interest and would love for you to try it out — aiming for July 7 launch!
Accept that you're human, accept the ebb and flow. Recognise when you're in your productive mode, use it. When you're not, don't beat yourself up, do the lighter side of what you need to do. Take your foot off the accelerator and just be. When you stop trying to control yourself like a machine, you'll start to win.
Downloaded 'cogno' (0.15.0) and 'cogno-nightly' (0.16.0-nightly) deb packages, installed and proceeded through the wizard. In both versions I couldn't select a theme, and I couldn't select a font as there wasn't an option to do that. Once I hit the 'finish' screen, I clicked 'finish' repeatedly and nothing happened. I couldn't use the terminal. Bad times. Sorry.
Oh thank you for your feedback. Which OS are you using? Cogno has been mostly used on Windows and MacOS (Apple Silicon) so far. Linux systems are little tested.
Hi TheRealGL,
Maybe I could fix this issue. I just deployed a new insiders build for Linux Ubuntu/Debian. I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 and couldn't find any more problems. It would be super nice if you could test it again. I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your help!
Trust your partner knows what they are doing. Give input but step back on decision making. Your child is going to become your entire universe, and for the first 5 months (as fare as I know- I'm a new dad too), you and your partner are the only thing that matters to them.
Give them both lots of love, pull energy from seeing your baby's little features- their delicate little hands, wisps of hair, milk drunkness, chubby cheeks!
Get skin on skin contact as soon as you can, wrap your arms around your little one- you are their protector and nothing will hurt them with you around.
Be prepared for some dark thoughts; usually centred around something/somebody hurting or taking your child away. I think this is probably normal.
Give your partner support and put little things in the calendar each week- like a TV show the three of you can watch- its making the mundane special that will keep your morale up when you're operating on 3 hours sleep.
Just interested, what language is the codebase in?
