one thing I’ve had success with is just buying some dried great northern beans and throwing them around. They grow like crazy and you can eat the bean pods as green beans.

I mean the top 100 and we’d be good to go honestly.

the us been trying this for decades and despite killing millions it hasnt fixed the climate

Honestly you could just go down to random underdeveloped areas and throw native berry bush seeds and stuff like that around. Then you know where it is if you need it. I’ve got quite a few areas where I’ve just found native edibles and know I can go to find them in a pinch.

See this is a normal response to this. It kinda weirds me out how common it is for people to be all “Heh heh, tell me Chinese AI… China bad, right? It won’t say it! Authoritarianism!”

Like maybe straighten out your priorities a bit? The country we live in killed like 300 little girls in Minab a few months ago. That seems a bit more important than the AI not letting you have your gotcha moment.

It doesn’t discuss anything Chinese politics related, and sometimes just wider politics too. It’s just a blanket filter on like any chinese politicians name or anything else the company decided it didn’t want to risk it talking about. It’s not about positive or negative the filter isn’t that advanced. It’ll just clam up the instant one of its filter words is hit.

I cracked up at I don’t understand the question lmao. I also read that and was thinking, “huh?”

Exactly. I try to tell this to my family and they all act like I’m crazy. Well my house is stocked atleast even if they don’t stock theirs. I’ve also been experimenting with growing my own food. Have potatoes, corn, blueberries, peaches, blackberries, mullberries, onions, and butternut squashes. Summer squashes and beans going in soon. Also have a few books on edible wild plants and stuff for foraging. Fishing gear too.

I honestly think this is the only logical stance someone in the US can take. Like wtf is China going to do to you? Is the CPC going to come across the pacific and try to arrest you? No. But ICE might come knocking if google figures out your not on board with Trumps new President for Life position.

It is not just possible. They do use domestic Huawei chips. The Ascend 950 specifically. Which is a big part of why they can operate so much more cheaply. No need to buy those insanely expensive NVIDIA chips.

I disagree. While most things are best measured per capita dividing it this way is kind of silly. China uses MUCH less energy per person than the US. As does every country. So it’s not really a useful comparison. It’s better to look at the percentage of total energy usage by country that is renewables. Dividing it by person ignores the fact that the average USian just uses an absolute metric fuckton of energy day to day. Like many times the global average. For China specifically, the average US person uses 2.5-3x more energy than the average Chinese person.

LOL right? Like does the other person not realize that unless your running a local LLM or using something like duck.ai ALL of the AIs are training on your convos. It reminds me of all the “Chinese Surveillance” fearmongering around TikTok as if Meta and Instagram don’t do the exact same thing.

I’m actually a big fan of the Gnome workflow on laptops. When using a mouse i HATE Gnome but when using a trackpad? It has no peers. It’s entirely designed around gestures. three fingers up to switch apps, side to side to switch desktops, up a 2nd time to get the apps page, etc. I do wish it was more customizable like KDE but it’s my go to on a laptop simply because I can’t stand using a trackpad with anything else.
