A cordless sawzall of circular saw with a metal cutting blade is way faster.

I mean, hypothetically. I have a decent amount of experience with cutting pipes.

I always think of George Carlin whenever people tell me how smart they think AI is: “Think of how dumb the average person is and then think about how half of them are dumber than that.

I deal with the general public every day for my job. People do the most brain dead shit or tell me the most insane things I’ve ever heard on a daily basis. I’ve had customers argue with me that I must be wrong because ChatGPT told them the problem was one thing, and I’m saying it’s something else. The most idiotic was when my solution was about a 1/4 the price, but the AI said it had to be something else so the customer wanted a second opinion from all different technician.

Either AI slop, someone fucked up the math for the capacity, or they’ve broken thermodynamics and are pulling power out of the ether.

First is most likely, 3rd is the coolest.

I don’t care until it gets to about quarter full, that’s when I check to see what actual percentage it’s at. I’m rarely on my phone enough to drain the battery on a normal day.

The limiting factor for space data centers is absolutely not the cost to build them. The AI industry has already proven that they will burn the GDP of a small country just to have an LLM that shits out slightly better text that has coin flip level odds of being true.

The limiting factor here is one of thermodynamics. A travel mug for coffee works because it has a near vacuum between the inner lining and the outer shell. Vacuums are fantastic insulation because there’s no atoms there to transfer heat away. Very useful if you want hot coffee for a few hours. Space is a big vacuum, and data centers are giant heat generators. You’re basically putting a computer in a perfect insulation medium. It’s really stupid.

What dirt do the Israelis have on everyone?

Why does being a billionaire seemingly strip most people of their fucking balls?

It’s a desert. Solar powered desalination plants might have been a good idea.

He’d have to declare martial law to suspend voting.

In theory, there would need to be a clear national emergency, such as a ground invasion of the United States or open rebellion to allow for martial law to be declared.

I don’t think Iran is going to launch an amphibious assault against the United States any time soon.

Ol Petey has been sucking his own farts for too long.

The United States Military undeniably has a technological and financial lead compared to basically every other nation.

He forgot that it doesn’t matter if you have a lead when you don’t have a plan to use any of that shit. You could put a chimpanzee in the cockpit of an F35, that doesn’t mean it can do anything productive with it. That’s Pete Hegseth.

I get he’s trying to make a point that Australia doesn’t want to be on the wrong side of history here, but I’m always confused by the term “illegal war”

Like would killing civilians like the US did for nearly 30 years in the Middle East be better just because a bunch of old dudes were guided into a fancy room by aides and mumbled to each other before signing a piece of paper that says it’s legal?

I do think really light, local LLM’s are the future of NPC interaction.

Not for main story missions, but for random encounters they could add a nice layer of immersion.

10 and 7 years

Who wrote this shit, Abraham Lincoln?

Lunatic calls leader already doing land grab genocide.

Says he’ll give access to largest military in the world because it will distract from the files bring about the end times from his weird death cult prophecy.

“Sounds good, bud”

Cause fuck Tucker Carlson.

He’s an arrogant sleeve bag that sees no issue with spreading his lies in the disguise of news.

He’s the face of Koch brother’s undermining of American media, and he gladly took their money so he can fuck over every other American just a little more.

Unfortunately it looks like they let him go. Should have forgot about his sorry ass in a jail cell for a few decades.

Familiarity breeds passivity

So small it’ll fit right up your ass

Have you considered not dropping your phone in water?

The problem is that Tesla has become a self fulfilling prophecy. Not in any ability to actually make the products they advertise, but in making investors money. So many people have invested so much that the stock price now effectively describes investor’s aspirations for money, not their faith in Tesla. This has been true for some time. The value of the stock has been largely divorced from the reality of production targets, new products, or even the endless controversies.

What have you run into that sticks out to you?

I’m curious because I’ve been on Linux full-time for 2 years now and an avid user for years before, but my friend is thinking of switching and I want to know what he might need help with.

We’ll hold our own elections, with blackjack and hookers
