"Low Budget" by the #Kinks is a fabulous effort with the Davies brothers picking up some of the punk scene vibe of the late 70s! Features "Attitude" and "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman".

A solid LP!

Originally bought this when released, but have since lost the CD. I remember I had a 6 disc changer with 2 garbage cds, 2 veruca salt cds, tragic kingdom and this album, #tobringyoumylove #pjharvey Down by the water is amazing ofc but long snake moan is my favorite track, but I love the album entire

This gold record is my first, #Sunn O))) This is a really amazing doom metal band with extremely custom equipment. They just hit long riffs, but the gear they use is all custom tube equipment. I didn't much like this at first but it's almost a meditation thing I can lose myself easily in this music.

#NuclearBlast records has just terrible policies, they have a no question asked return policy, but if you order an item and then they discount it the next day you can't get the discount, they force you to return the item for the discount.

Why are all online shopping companies becoming so hostile?

It is wild to me that the largest company on the stock market, one with such incredible prestige and a huge PR team got dog-walked here. Why would you EVER give this ANY oxygen? Now everybody is asking whether NVIDIA is like Enron! This didn't help at all!
Nvidia refuted accounting questions in a memo to analysts, saying "Unlike Enron, NVIDIA does not use Special Purpose Entities to hide debt and inflate revenue" (Tae Kim/Barron's Online)

Now spinning: Pearl Jam - Vitalogy (2011 Remastered 2 LP); originally released on vinyl on this day, in 1994; “can’t escape from the common rule, if you hate something, don’t you do it too…”

Vinyl is 30 bucks a pop now? WTF did the black Friday sales just hide a huge price increase in vinyl overall?

I don't see any good deals, everything is literally more expensive than 3 months ago! And shipping is insane. I'm going to check a few local stores but I am not buying anything online.

It makes the disability aspect of autism worse so much fucking worse. It’s sadistic to exclude people from the continual process of forming societal standards, and then expecting said people who are neurologically distinct to follow them “perfectly”.

What I'm saying is that I believe the majority of generative AI is run on A100 and H100 GPUs, and I see no compelling evidence of large-scale or even minor-scale deployments of Blackwell GPUs

are you suggesting ChapGPT is really running on CPUs?

#funk Taking a turn from what I normally listen to, I saw Bonny M. recently and was reminded that this band is actually legit. As long as you like funk anyway.

Famously the lead singer was lip syncing while being a total prima donna. classic music industry nonsense.

Someone on the Minneapolis subreddit caught Waymos being delivered. We need the City Council need to ban the use of driverless cars. The technology isn't there. Our city cannot be a testing ground for 1.5 ton autonomous projectiles.
