Un bon résumé sur l'utilité globale des LLM. Globalement, ça n'est pas très utile. (la seule utilité potentielle étant le résumé, mais ça m'est assez inutile puisque je sais lire et synthétiser rapidement).

AP Stylebook prefers "caregiver" for one who cares for people and "caretaker" for one who looks after a building. "Care-taker" for taking care of children dates to the 19th century, while "caregiver" emerged in the 1960s but now dominates.

"What is the best-practice Alt-Text #usage?"

The researchers say switching to #renewable #energy would avoid #utility #gridblackouts and #save consumers trillions of dollars. One of the main reasons for that finding is that the combustion-based #energysystems most countries rely require a lot of energy just to function. In switching to a #clean, #renewableenergy system, #Jacobson states that worldwide energy #usage would go down by 56% immediately.

Switching the world to 100% #RenewableEnergy will cost $62 trillion, but the payback would take just 6 years, writes Professor Mark Jacobson @mzjacobson
