_Stephan: I am following reliable research polls on Trump and his administration because I have been so surprised at how many Americans still support his coup, and his destruction of the economy, social security, education, and healthcare. My explanation for this is that a large per … ⌘ Read more

10 World-Changing Ideas Explained First-Hand by Their Creators
Unfortunately, most of the ideas that human beings conceive never go anywhere. This is true even for very good ideas. Many appear briefly, only to fade into obscurity as history marches on. But every so often, an idea emerges that is so bold, visionary, and fundamentally transformative that it cannot be forgotten. These are the […]

10 Great Comic Book Castings Wasted on Bad Scripts
Casting comic book characters onto the big (or small) screen is tricky. Unlike regular novels, these superpowered stories come with vivid illustrations of every plot beat. As such, fans have clear pictures of how the characters should look and act. Maybe that’s why they scrutinize these adaptations so closely. It’s painfully apparent when the wrong […]

In-reply-to » Based on a recent study of the brains of mice I estimated the human brain to have 200B cells/neurons and 50,000T connections. We have several orders of magnitude to go before we reach that kind of scale with these fucking stupid Big LLMs 🤣 And the best part of all? 🧐 It is estimated that the human brain only consumes the equivalent of 5 Watts of power !!! 🤣🤣🤣

What’s the relation between the brains of mice, and the human brain? I am kind of lost trying to make the connection.

I also read that it isn’t 5 watts, but more like 10-20 watts. Still a super tiny consumption, comparing to what it takes to run anything AI.
