Turns out that when Americans said "If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German now..." their objection was to learning a second language, not fascism.

literally the name of the city: mobile

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

there was some satisfaction in seeing them do their best po'-face for the camera. not enough to make it worth it but still

just remembered back when the Observer (of the Guardian) was about to get shit-canned and seeing all these liberals sharing links about saving the jobs of the brave journalists there, and half the ppl in the staff photo had spent the last 10 years calling me a zoo animal in print

from what i understand they really wear those things out, and are worth small fractions of their purchase price within just a couple years

yes, obviously, but is several trillion dollars worth of GPUs (a lot of science computing is btw not done best on GPUs) too much? how much would be too much?

My most controversial take on this is probably that while I think reproductive freedom should be sacrosanct, I don’t really have any problem with additional taxes on (high income) childless people. Someone gotta pay into the pensions!

the remarkable thing about trump and trumpism is that he strips the veneer of respectability off of the depraved institutions that comprise liberal moral authority. him getting the peace prize would really be the icing on the cake

I'm aware of that but the present capacity already far outstrips the non-AI (read: mostly LLM) demand. the planned capacity will dwarf it

the last time they tried to come on here, they stamped them out pretty quickly, i will say to their credit. but if they can't or won't do it this time, and also can't give us locked accounts then that's basically lights out for most of the trans women on here

i'm going to expand this into a "coward's median voter" concept. e.g. a centrist saying, "face it we're not going to get the average voter on board with the trans stuff" they mean them. they themselves are transphobic and are too much of a bitch to say it out loud

tranna karenina @einegeniesserin.bsky.social · Apr 2

in science when you're co-authoring a paper, there's a habit i call the "coward's reviewer." someone wants to take the paper in a certain direction, doesn't have the courage to argue it themselves, so says, "the reviewer might not like this" bitch you don't like it, say it with your chest

what would they (i assume you mean all the GPU compute capacity here) be repurposed for?
