You can run an LLM on a phone (tried it myself once, with llama.cpp), but even on the simplest model I could find it was doing maybe one word every few seconds while using up 100% of the CPU. The quality is terrible, and your battery wouldn’t last an hour.

A study from 1989 doesn’t apply to modern plants built 35 years later, it really doesn’t make sense to extrapolate it like this.

I would rather do that instead of indirectly killing a bunch of unwilling people, yeah.

Lemmy but twitter instead of reddit.

Look, I’m sorry but I have better things to do than arguing about why putting blobs of solder on your HDD’s contacts isn’t a good idea. I’m not gonna stop you, but I don’t think you’ve convinced anyone.

The contacts are gold, which definitely doesn’t oxidize any more than solder considering it, y’know, doesn’t oxidize in air at all ever. The solder doesn’t really add any contact surface area, and even if it did, it makes no difference for digital signals. “Better conductivity” doesn’t improve digital sigs either. And why would the contacts ever disconnect?

I can’t confirm the last paragraph, but HDD manufacturers could just move the PCB closer to the chassis and/or make the contacts’ springs a bit stiffer to achieve the exact same thing, which is slightly more pressure between the contacts. That’s literally all you’re getting here.

DON’T DO THIS, at best it’ll do nothing and at worst (muuch more likely) you’ll short and kill your HDD.

The whole point of contacts is that they aren’t soldered, the transmit current by physical contact. There’s a matching pair on the HDD chassis:

Yeah you’re right, I just felt the need to point out that API calls are not really comparable to serving a full website.

The thing is that when you interact with the remote server directly it’s not 10 api calls, it’s 10 full-blown HTML webpages that have to be served to you, which are way bigger than REST API calls.

None, selfhosted is the way.

yeah, from my experience lemmy has way fewer but more active users compared to reddit
