No relation to Loblaws I’m sure

Very high paying jobs may skew this number. Median wage is probably the more useful way to look at country level pay

I will find a way to refund or chargeback or something. I hate that they feel they can change the contract like this

I imagine the aggressive “feature” upsell popups that get more and more invasive with every new windows release

Which communities/servers? I’ve found the comments on non political threads to be mostly reasonable.

There’s no doubt that lemmy is currently less active than reddit though

I tried a train from Ontario to Quebec this year and found exactly that. Flying was slightly more expensive but would have been a better experience on every dimension

I am thrilled to see an example of regulators actually putting work into blocking monopolistic mergers. Hopefully this is the beginning of many.

I guess the rough reality is that some people want to live where their family lives but can’t easily afford it. I don’t know how far you need to live from SF for prices to return to reality, but I suspect it’s a 1h+ drive

LLMs like chatgpt take a wild amount of resources to run.

If you want something as smart as gpt3 and you want it to run at typing speeds, you’ll need a gaming PC running it.

People just recently managed to run gpt3 strength models at all on ordinary laptop hardware (slowly).

There is currently no way to run something gpt4 strength on ordinary consumer hardware (I’m just guessing but I think it takes a few hundred gb of VRAM to run)

I’m so sorry, I can’t imagine how you bear it

I’d love to see this as a paycheck breakdown. Unless you have a history of debt, a huge house, or like 8 kids I don’t see how it’s not possible to do at least moderately well on 150k/y
