This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...
PITTSBURGH'S Public Source Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh journalists return to their jobs at the Post-Gazette after three years on strike After a court ruling in their favor, long-striking journalists declared victory and returned to a pivotal Southwestern Pennsylvania newsroom. They return as union organizing continues throughout the region. Stephanie Strasburg November 24, 2025 Natalie Duleba, local secretary of the guild, hugs Jon Schleuss, president of the NewsGuild Communications of America, as she hands him the mic. "The first day of this strike, our folks went over across the street and they sat down at a table, and they started talking about that they were going to take care of each other," said Schleuss, acknowledging the guild could not have known how long the path back to work would be.

A dirty little secret of the AI boom is that it appears everybody loses money on buying AI GPUs, as the incredible upfront costs (billions) put every data center in a deep, dark hole - and because GPUs are so power-hungry, it's difficult to make any margin at all.
www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-g...
Why It’s So Unprofitable To Run AI Services Using NVIDIA’s (or anyone else’s) GPUs Before we go any further, it’s important to remember that the rest of the cloud computing industry is relatively high-margin, and that’s because the stuff it sells is, by and large, nowhere near as expensive as running GPUs. That’s because you really don’t need that much compute to serve a normal website, or a normal web application. Cloud providers can take a resource — like physical memory, or storage, or a single virtual CPU core — and sell it at a pretty steep mark-up relative to the cost of actually providing it. Ordinary computing resources are cheaper, and they can be divided across more users. As a result, the margins are better and the upfront costs are lower. By contrast, a single AI application — like one that generates a video, or an image, or that processes a large codebase — may use multiple GPUs simultaneously. The whole division of resources that makes cloud computing so efficient (and so lucrative) simply doesn’t apply here. And that’s without mentioning the cost of ownership, or indeed, the additional power costs that come from GPUs, or the cost of keeping them cool. I could keep on going. By virtue of their scale, AI data centers often require additional infrastructure that doesn’t really apply with conventional computing gear. This may involve a greater number of transformers and substations to deal with the insane power demands (all of which are extremely expensive, and have painfully long lead times), or on-site power generation infrastructure. The Stargate Abilene facility, as well as xAI’s Colossus facility in Memphis, Tennessee, all have (or will have) on-site natural gas turbines, as well as pipelines that provide the gas they burn, and all of this costs money. Again, these turbines have an incredible lead time — which is why we’re seeing creative alternatives spring up, like former jet engines being repurposed into stationary generators. Sidenote: I have no idea how efficient those converted engines actually are, but the Interesting Engineering article linked above notes that the engines being used by one such remanufacturer are the General Electric CF6-80C2 — an 80s vintage design that flew with the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 (which first flew in 1988) and the Boeing 747-400 (an aircraft that debuted the same year, and that has largely left passenger service because it’s not a particularly fuel-efficient plane to run). Obviously, there are variables that affect fuel efficiency in aviation that don’t apply to a stationary, ground-based power generator. Still, I’m curious about the economics of this, and whether these repurposed turbines have similar fuel consumption habits to, say, a purpose-built natural gas turbine! As I explained before the premium break, one does not simply “plug in” a GPU, nor does one just buy “a” GPU. You usually buy thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of these things, and the more you buy, the more likely it is you have to build a new data center to house them. While previous generations — Ampere (A100) and Hopper (H100, H200) — could be integrated into older data centers, new generations like Blackwell (2024) and Vera Rubin (coming next year) are so power-hungry and generate so much heat that they require specialized liquid cooling systems (which means using sealed tubes of specific coolant liquid to cool something), which in turn requires bigger, more power-intensive data center architectures to handle them. Oh, and the chips are tens of thousands of dollars more expensive than the previous generation, while also having higher electricity and cooling costs. Important detail to add: remember all that stuff I said about parallel processing and doing a bunch of maths at once? Doing all that maths is very intensive on these GPUs, meaning they’re running at full tilt a lot of the time. That’s a lot of heat. I get this all sounds super complex and confusi… Because you can’t reuse the old servers and cooling, you have to both buy a bunch of new stuff and build a bunch of new stuff. You can’t just use the old cooling either, so you need a bigger data center, meaning more construction (unless you’re just building a new one). Construction is expensive and takes time, meaning that while you may have bought all those new GPUs, you have to wait to get them all installed. When your construction is done, you now need more power than before. Once your data center is built, you have spent an incredibly large amount of money and taken a whole bunch of time. When you turn on the GPU, it immediately starts costing you money. This means that every GPU purchase starts in a deep, dark hole. While a GB200 rack containing 72 GPUs might cost $3 million, its costs balloon even further when you factor in all the stuff you had to build around it so that it A) turns on, B) functions properly and C) doesn’t overheat and turn off. It’s difficult to say how much more because things like power and construction vary from place to place, and something as simple as, say, permitting can have an outsized effect on the price of construction, but my napkin maths says there are tens of thousands of dollars of costs at minimum for each GB200 rack. So, yeah, when you finally turn a GPU on, you’re tens of thousands of dollars in the hole already. And then we get to the muddy part — how much do these fucking things cost to run? The answer is “nobody seems to want to tell us,” and also “it’s complicated.” It’s hard to tell exactly how much one GPU costs, despite many companies (like Microsoft, Google or Amazon, or AI-specialist companies like CoreWeave) selling hourly access to GPUs, because data centers are full of them, and because a GPU isn’t just a GPU, it’s also connected to a CPU, a server, storage, and many other pieces that need to exist for it to do anything.

Yoongi is wearing a yellow sweater and a blue beanie, and has a large snowball rolled between his legs. Jungkook has a hand raised and is bare-headed with streaks and blue and purple in his hair.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

i think so so much about so much seokjin music is about feeling like a celestial body (Moon) and something out in space (The Astronaut). how he thinks of himself as a satellite to the things he loves, himself something cold and distant that's pulled in gravitationally, curiously, by love

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
