Nope, they can use your NPU, GPU or CPU whatever you have.. the performance will vary quite a bit though. Also, the larger the model the more memory it needs to run well.

Yup, it refers to conditions that occur together.

I wanted physical books out of something that was only available as PDFs. So instead of going the sensible route I bought a color laser printer, learnt how to bind books, bought tools and materials, made a simple book binding press and made my own books.

this plus:

1. For many companies the majority of operating expenses are related to employees, so they will try to resist raising wages, preferably cutting them and/or firing people (also, union busting)
2. Product quality will suffer
3. They'll try to skirt regulations and lobby to overturn them
4. In capitalism there's no such thing as enough when it comes to ROI so we go back to 6.

Umm, what makes you think that if they did exist they wouldn't also be explainable by science? Also, if you dig really deep into anything you'll find all kinds of fascinating stuff even if it's not supernatural.

How to dress for -30C weather. How to get out if you fall through ice into water.

People challenging the seriousness of the climate change are saying "we will adapt and survive like we always have".. Yeah, our "adapt and survive" could look like that.

How do you vote for a non-existent option with your wallet?

I'll be that guy.. 56% of normal

One of the biggest problems when it comes to integration is that those immigrants were massed into certain places, usually poor neighborhoods where they formed their own somewhat closed communities and didn't intermingle with the local population. So the local population didn't "have to" interact with them and vice versa. So, they didn't learn the language as fast, didn't form connections to get somewhere.. those areas plummeted deeper into poverty.. which radicalizes both sides.

It would've been better to sprinkle them among various areas so they could have taken part in the existing communities, they would've learned the language faster and prejudices would've dissolved faster.

Why didn't that happen? People with more money and power didn't want them among themselves. Classism, racism and also capitalism at work. Government can try to change those but it can take decades.

Having a monopoly is not good.. I just wish others wouldn't completely ignore Linux users.. Valve/Steam on the other hand is seriously pushing it forward which makes me very much biased toward them.

That quote means that actual facts are dismissed as leftist ideas by many americans (where Colbert lives).
