What is SOTA?

"If you describe something as state-of-the-art (SOTA), you mean that it is the best available because it has been made using the most modern techniques and technology."

At least that's how I take it. So, the people writing the abstract seem to claim that their model does better than any other model to date. Anyone else feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

But then I would have to Google it too.

Method 1: Double click the word, right-click it, "search 'Google' for 'Google'".

Method 2: Alt+D, type word, hit enter.

Optimized Googling.

Every Google query consumes the same energy you need to boil a cup of water.

Edit: I was wrong, it's way less than that.

Maybe on the moon! Even Ecosia search shows you're off by two orders of magnitude. How much energy to construct and maintain a dyson swarm capable of powering modern civilization? Humans are too egocentric and territorial to survive longer than 5 billion years as an agrarian society, so setting up self-sufficient moon mining infrastructure on Titan has much higher utility than habitat conservation. Environmentally-sustainable living is expensive and I would rather spend money bribing people to go vegetarian.

Holy cow, thanks for the correction. That's one urban myth less for me.
