it actually is productive, because steel bar retailers and metal door installers will make a ton of cash and then 'trickle' that money into the economy.

it'll be a rack based GPU without video ports. The only thing getting sick GPU's will be landfill when they all burn out and the data center rationalization happens.

Agree, they also may find themselves in a place where the government rightly says they can't have their dangerous new toy because they can't be safe with it. This is a high stakes PR game. Governments can and will step in and embargo and regulate these systems in ways which will hurt the companies and investors.

So how it works is, you grow the bloom in a massive pond. Wait for it to fully fill up, skim half the pond, add more nutrients and then agitate. With the algae you skimmed off you dry it out then compress it into a brick and burry it. In a 100K years we can the burn it for coal power again. And then repeat that until you've grown enough biomass to match the amount of Carbon put in the atmosphere since the industrial revolution.

Depends, In northern NSW, the heat it humid, in the south / west it's usually dry. It gets hot, like opening a oven door, but it's not a wet humid heat that kills you.

I think there's a bit of a definitional skew happening here. The data isn't that good around this stuff.

Heat as the primary factor, vs heat related deaths is significant.

Heat is a system stressor. There's plenty of people having heart attacks and dying from weight related issues that probably got pushed over the edge by a hot day in Nevada that are missed in official stats.

This is why i have an xbox and not a gaming pc. Can't have a crack dealer in the house.

The sea is a very hard place. Heavy Chains break all the time.

not the best analogy. It's like industry has an ox pulling a plow and we just check back at the end of the day to see what's happened to the field.

Mee too. We just did a very similar migration at work it's incredibly frustrating, I've got all my CI ported over and now this.

MSFT should just create slophub.com they'd make money im sure.

Someones gotta see what 40bn on VR looks like. turns out, it looks like shit. Thanks Zuck!

The knowledge is one thing. But the competence of execution and the will to act are difficult to line up.

Yes there should be safe guards, but after a while you're jumping at shadows.

I'm more worried about depressed kids getting on chat and being encouraged to kill themselves than terrorist attacks.

We know what a cancer algorithmic social media is yet we don't act.

I doubt there will be any real and serious opposition to this bill, but there should be.

just like Zuck.

People always end up petitioning for them to be cutdown because tree litter inevitably falls on cars. The best solution for cars is dense multistory parking.

They have magic consultant power mode.

In government you have to deliver, most of the time the mode of delivery is boring, small, conservative, and disjointed from other government groups because large efforts of work attract big budgets, oversight and doubt.

Consultants are magic, because they come with no baggage and promise the world. They take you hostage with sunk cost fallacy and then after years they deliver something.

At the end you're so tired you think that what they did was beyond your government agency and the cycle continues.

Its exactly the same as 10 years ago and being able to google and search well for odd support bugs. Junior people think it's easy and they don't see the massive skill in framing questions and filtering.

It just needs to be described in a more concrete way to people. Such as, You know how the podcasts you listen to keep getting updated on your phone? That's RSS. Imagine if other things you liked turned up when they were new and you had a lot of control over that process.

nah, open ai doesn't have a moat it has a brief window to get a lot cheaper to run or it's going to go pop when someone figure out how to do inference a lot cheaper.

At the least, all the hyperscalers should be putting money into a fund for this sort of thing.

This just in: Wolves is the new hype word for the mythical 10x employee.

They could put that engineering effort to unifying the AWS console. :D.

I was thinking about this very thing today. Personally, I see the Windows OS as a core competency of Microsoft. If the OS is bad, then the company is being run badly. In the same as when you go to a fine restaurant and the kitchen have the polished pots and pans you can see, generally things are going to be great. Its the attention to detail, If those small details are right, then the whole meal will be good. And currently the whole meal is crap with windows.

What would you consider real decline?

I would say children having worse prospects than their parents at the same age is a good indicator of it. The big issues IMO are: The housing market locking out young people and The jobs market being brutal to graduates.

Things are not so great at the moment.

I was always stuck by how different all the cars in the BYD line are. There are some pretty bold styling and fitout choices between the models.

I have mostly driven BMW and Toyota sedan and fwd's. And as you progress in car price and size its a matter of getting more features, and a better version over the cheaper model.

The BYD's all seem really different,

I do like that BYD cars are opinionated which is a feature that is somewhat lacking in modern cars.

Well as far as storing it goes, if you can capture it, turn it into a solid and stick it in the ground.

Imagine you were growing a huge biomass that you harvest, dry out, and then store. We know how the bacteria and processes that stripped co2 from the atmosphere in the past, we just need to do that in a big way. Good thing we have places on earth that are huge and flat and growing algae won't be a problem.

And then we complement that with green energy and an attempt at net zero.

Just use a pg container on a vm, cheap as chips and you can do anything to em.

I agree, however the simplest place for a static bit of the web seems to be an s3 bucket with cloudfront or something similar.

Nothing, the answer is nothing. The harm of Meta continues.

Change your idea of success to being "Propping up the consultant market", and by that definition these projects are smashing it out of the park.
