12v boat motors are for only trolling. So technically it powers a boat, but not really... They're typically only 1hp. You could get a 1hp AC, but they're not designed to run on 12v. You'd need to change DC to AC and then step up to 120v at least.

You'd run out of power pretty fast either way if you're planning to use the AC for extended period of time, just like trolling motors. And no quick way to recharge. Alternator suggested above is somewhat realistic as some cars actually do come with a 120V outlet (albeit at limited wattage not enough to power a full sized window AC). Though, all of this is rather inefficient setup and burning more gas.

This type of mandate exists in specific industries. I'm really not sure why it doesn't exist in other.

A large charged lemonade has 4 times the caffeine content than a cup of coffee according to wapo which I won't bother linking because it's paywalled. It's about twice the size of coffee and twice the concentration of caffeine.

Actually statistics show that an encounter with a bear is orders of magnitude more dangerous than an encounter with a man. Obviously. I encounter 1000s of men as I was down the street and I'm not dead yet.

Yes, it's very unlikely to run into a bear. But if that's the point you're making, you're missing the predicate of the question where the encounter is already assumed.

I think hyper polarization is one of the greatest societal issues we face currently. Whether it be war of genders, politics, etc. We are losing the calm middle ground that should be the majority without outside influence.

It's so incredibly easy to polarize. We see it in this thread too. The top of this comment thread is a polarization too. Essentially dividing men into 2 distinct set of groups. You're either good or a villain. This dichotomy is ridiculous and every social community eats it up like crazy, this Lemmy included. These create effects of over abundance, as you mention of caution, fear and hate.

If anyone actually thinks that they'd be better off with an encounter with a wild bear than a man, they're just stupid and insane. Just walking down the street, I encounter 1000s of men. If there were 1000s of bears, I'm sure no one would go there. But we're not appealing to logic. We're appealing to feelings that's been derived from these polarizations and sadly I see no way for this to end.

At that point, it probably starts costing steam more money in support agents.

I get your point... But I feel like people in this thread doesn't know how cake making works...

20 people will make a single cake faster. Not 20x faster, but faster. There are multiple part of the work that can be divided out to different people. Like you can have one person make batter while other makes icing. Fancy cakes actually do take multiple people to make simultaneously.

There are many different niches of ML. 99% of hobbyist would use consumer grade hardware. It's quite frankly more than good enough.

Even in commercial usage, consumer GPUs provide better value unless you need to do something that very specifically require a huge vram pool. Like connecting multiple A100 GPUs to have hundreds or tens of thousands of gigabyte vram. Those use cases only come up if you're making base models for general purpose.

If you're using it for single person use case, something like 4090 is actually the best hardware. Enough ram to run almost anything and it's higher clock speed than enterprise GPU means your results come back faster.

Even training doesn't require that much vram. Chat models are generally more vram heavy but if you're doing specific image training like stable diffusion for how to render your face, or some specific fetish porn, you only really need like 12GB of vram to do it. There are ways to even do it at lower like 8GB but 12 is sweet value spot where even 3060 or 4060ti can do. Consumer GPUs will get that trained in like 30min to 24hrs depending on settings and model.

I haven't been part of the modding scene for a while now. But most likely, none of their public APIs were changed. Naturally, I could be wrong since I didn't read the patch notes, but that's typically not where it goes wrong.

Many modder, and I mean many, do not find Bethesda's provided APIs to be sufficient for their goals. So people extend those APIs further with their own libraries and scripting engines. Then other modders build on top of that extensions. These work against the binary code of the game and contain a list of pointer addresses in binary. So even the smallest changes to the game binary ends up making all of these extensions to stop working.

These mods have a headache anytime any kind of updates are pushed. It's an API thing, but it's not the API Bethesda made.

It's not odd imo. I feel weird about it too. But I can't help but accept it as a fact which works. All the insta addicted people essentially do this every day for years and it's why they're able to produce good pictures.

You likely don't know how to take pictures. There was one "coach" that I've seen who basically said take 100 selfies a day to get skilled at taking pictures of yourself. As well as when taken by someone else. That way you know what poses, angles and expressions work and don't work for you. There's obviously more about it, but point is that everything needs practice, and a lot of it.

Yes. That's pretty much what I would do. Flee.

It's a giant waste of time for everyone. It's honestly horrible and I wish there was a way to seriously penalize people who do that. I'd say >80% of the girls use filter effect. I can't tell guys since I don't look at guy profiles. Though, guys would have better effect taking a pic in front of a random Porsche parked on the street and lie about their height than using filters.

You can tell people are using filters most of the time once you've seen enough. Lot of them are pretty obvious. And some of them are completely obvious as it still has the filter's name literally on the photo.

I would absolutely prefer to match on below avg girl with real face than hot girl with fake filter face. With real photos, I know what I'm getting into, and found them to be much more down to earth as well.
