  • Jag spelar mest på Linux nu för tiden, har Pop OS (jag hade lite strul med Nvidia-grafikkort men på Pop fungerade allt fint), men jag har bara kört via Steam och Proton än så länge! Någon dag ska jag sätta mig ner och lista ut hur jag får igång mina spel från Gog också, det verkar lyckligtvis inte vara så komplicerat :)

    I don’t know of any studies unfortunately, but I did want to point out that training is not quite a one time cost in practice, because training has already been done loads times and is still being done! I’m theory, if we stopped training all AI and just kept the ones we have, then indeed the training cost would be bounded just like you say, I’m just afraid we’re quite far from that.



  • I never meant to say that data does not have value, it definitely tells a country how they could best reduce emissions, like in your example by improving the cleanliness of manufacturing products that are exported.

    It does not say how sustainably a specific country is operating (or the EU in this case). If you move manufacture abroad e.g. where it’s made with less clean energy so it emits more, when counting local emissions this still counts as an emission reduction. It doesn’t matter if it’s easier to compute if it’s wrong, and it seems to be entirely the wrong statistic to use for this article.

    I don’t know for sure, but I think most products are not usually made in the country they are sold, but I haven’t seen data of proportions. I don’t trust that it’s a decent proxy just because some people gut feeling tells them it is. Data on consumption based emissions exists, and it should be used.


  • Ahh I’m worried that this might sound better than it actually is, why would anyone not use consumption-based emissions when talking about this? That’s the only way to tell if we’ve actually made the changes necessary to become sustainable or if we’ve just exported enough production abroad to pretend we have. Counting only emissions within the EU is ridiculous.

    I’ll express my last bit of disagreement with your reasoning and then I’ll probably leave this argumentation, but I will read if you choose to respond. This is not what cost means, you are basically saying that your gut tells you it should be cheaper without any supportive arguments. If e.g. the train requires more energy to run faster, that alone could make it more costly, even if it has a higher capacity. Since neither one of us seems to have idea of the actual costs of running trains, I don’t think we’ll get anywhere with this!
