The best source I know: https://betterexplained.com/

Also plenty of youtube channels, like Numberphile (many of the featured hosts have their own channels), 3Blue1Brown, Mathologer, Wrath of Math and many more. They have vast libraries covering pretty much any topic imaginable. It's all top tier presentation, so intersting they made me study math for fun - I'd rather watch Numberphile than Netflix.

I have the bottom one and it's a piece of crap. The clip is weaker then the friction required to insert the stick into the USB slot - it just slides back into the body. And it overheats as hell.

This is indeed very much possible. Just try it.

You realize the models you're running locally had to be trained the same way as the proprietary ones, right?

I bet I could come up with some contenders... I won't though, because I hate that M$ controls the major open-source repository.

You should try this one, it's not fun either.

Also beware the AI Explained channel, where the creator is full-time investigating and evaluating cutting edge development in AI. You might even glimpse what's coming.

It only mentions the snapshot storage and processing. It's a perfect solution for them. The AI will crunch the data and report only it's findings to Microsoft for advertising purposes. They save on storage and electricity by offloading the data harvesting to your machine.

Most of plastic trash is burned, so it's around only in the form of CO2 and other chemicals in the atmosphere.

What would be the impact on everyday life if a nuclear EMP destroyed all electronics in our lives instantly? First there are a lot of dead from car / plane crashes, then most patients in hospitals, then many due to running out of water and food. And what's left of the society then collapses into barbarism, violence and fighting for resources.

It's possible something like this would happen should the nuclear weapons of today be used. The book is hard to stomach, but everyone should be aware of the possibility and be at least knowledgeable in survival without modern technology (if not outright stocked up in a doomsday vault).

One Second After - W. R. Forstchen

Please everyone, read this book. It's sad, disgusting and heavy, but it's probably a documentary for events that may happen one day. It's very well researched and the plausibility and realism make it even scarier. It hasn't turned me into a prepper, but in part motivated me to make our house as self-sufficient as possible. Also it made me aware of small useful things in my surroundings that I used to be blind to.
