current global average electricity production = approximately 3.6 terawatts

But then again these systems do not use 1400 watts all the time. We would probably have much more then 11.2 terawatts demand if all humans turn on all their electrical consumers at the same time.

I also like 4K with 90 to 120fps which leads me most of the time to use almost minimal settings.

Look at steam hardware reviews. My setup is quite the default thing. Games optimize for it

I expect it to stay a mediocre gaming PC for the next 3 years maybe 5 years.

So if politicians base their decisions on "common sense", they confess to not being able to use experts that refine their knowledge and position about a topic.

A "common sense" strategy is therefore what is most popular and on the basis of the understanding of laymen without deeper understanding or knowledge.

Other than that there is not really a difference to renting a GPU since the GPU provider can also just steal your data.

Local GPU(s) are always an option if you have the possibility. It is also not that difficult to run with stuff like “LocalAI”

> “In the current generation, our density is 8 billion parameters on the hard wired part of the chip., plus the SRAM to allow us to do KV caches, adaptations like fine tuning, and etc. In our next generation, we would have the ability to go up to 20 billion parameters in a chip. Even with trillions of parameters, we’re talking about few tens of chips, which is a very, very small compared to anything else out there on the market today.”

Edit: i do not know how reliable this page is... it has a lot of typos.. for me it does not look like it was written by a LLM

So i guess maybe they currently try to solve a very hard problem with a small focused group before scaling or they are dysfunctional.

Also Llama 3.1 8B is a dense model AFAIK and they are fast by nature. As there are not a lot of dense models these days i could imagine that they try to optimise for MOE models.

This should be the first thing on this page.

There is no way people will put up with that.

So they get more data of the same person over time.

If it is then wow!

I recomend focusing on designing Tests before rigid definitions of states of tests. - it is much clearer that way what is asked from something to be conscious.

But again these are all just indirect tests because we cannot test the core of consciousness because we don't know the core of consciousness.

For example: people in developing countries throw away more food then in developed countries although it is relative to their income much more value. The reason is because they often do not own fridges, use a lot of rice which spoils fast or have difficulties with the food supply chain in other forms.

Food waste is a bad indicator for food value.

But then again this is just a external crude form of test that can lead to something like „light bulbs emit warmth, so fire must be a light bulb“

A specific pattern of self-referencing data could be seen (or not) as low-level consciousness in the future, when we know what consciousness exactly is.

It might be that stockfish is already something future scientists would define as "conscious".

Altough it is diffucult for me to Imagine that specific example.
