Is This Planet Protected?

1,060,546 Comments

The new season of Doctor Who began today with a very triumphant debut of the Eleventh Doctor. There is a definite shift in tone from the previous series (or non-series as it was), and I think this is exactly the episode to reset with. The introduction of Amy Pond was the best companion beginning yet, and I already love her. The rest of the plot didn’t really blow my mind, but the nod to the previous Doctors was glorious and brought out an actual cheer. I think Eleven is a very capable incarnation and I look forward to seeing him in action week after week.

I’m already re-watching because I let a lot of information slip past me the first time. I also want to compile a list of “clues” to watch for as the series progresses because I think there will be quite the payoff with this writing team. For instance, there is a blue lens flare that lingers for a considerable amount of time when there is no known source of light for that scene. Hmmmm. I’m also curious about the possible significance of the “Myth” laptop. Each of those things may be inconsequential, of course, or they could be related to the coming Silence. Who knows?

Who knows, indeed!! *ahem*

  7. Right here is the perfect blog for everyone who really wants to
    understand this topic. You realize a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want to…HaHa).
    You certainly put a fresh spin on a subject that has been written about for many years.
    Excellent stuff, just excellent!

  20. “AI expends a lot of energy being polite, especially if the user is polite, saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’”

    Dauner explained. “But this just makes their responses even longer, expending more energy to generate each word.”

    For this reason, Dauner suggests users be more straightforward when communicating with AI models. Specify the length of the answer you want and limit it to one or two sentences, or say you don’t need an explanation at all.

    Most important, Dauner’s study highlights that not all AI models are created equally, said Sasha Luccioni, the climate lead at AI company Hugging Face, in an email. Users looking to reduce their carbon footprint can be more intentional about which model they chose for which task.

    “Task-specific models are often much smaller and more efficient, and just as good at any context-specific task,” Luccioni explained.

    If you are a software engineer who solves complex coding problems every day, an AI model suited for coding may be necessary. But for the average high school student who wants help with homework, relying on powerful AI tools is like using a nuclear-powered digital calculator.

    Even within the same AI company, different model offerings can vary in their reasoning power, so research what capabilities best suit your needs, Dauner said.

    When possible, Luccioni recommends going back to basic sources — online encyclopedias and phone calculators — to accomplish simple tasks.

    Why it’s hard to measure AI’s environmental impact
    Putting a number on the environmental impact of AI has proved challenging.

    The study noted that energy consumption can vary based on the user’s proximity to local energy grids and the hardware used to run AI models.
    That’s partly why the researchers chose to represent carbon emissions within a range, Dauner said.

    Furthermore, many AI companies don’t share information about their energy consumption — or details like server size or optimization techniques that could help researchers estimate energy consumption, said Shaolei Ren, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of California, Riverside who studies AI’s water consumption.

    “You can’t really say AI consumes this much energy or water on average — that’s just not meaningful. We need to look at each individual model and then (examine what it uses) for each task,” Ren said.

    One way AI companies could be more transparent is by disclosing the amount of carbon emissions associated with each prompt, Dauner suggested.

  38. Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
    I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but
    I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great
    though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Cheers
