I’m in. 🎉 Just a heads up that one cookie took me like an hour.

I should watch The Ballad of Buster Scruggs again. They were all great, but "The Mortal Remains" really stuck with me… the lighting is 💯

And they’re only getting bigger and more centralized. 🤷‍♂️

SETI@home was tongue in cheek. Even there with data rates it’s better in invest in a bigger/better GPU pipeline instead of chunking it.

Maybe the most telling thing is Tesla and xAI continue to build converged data centers to keep the GPUs on a local high speed, low latency fabric…

I appreciate Tesla trying to make use of “idle” hardware, but the number of useful workloads where you have intermittent nodes connected via Wi-Fi/cellular, and with limited storage is very small.

Unlikely this becomes some EC2-like inference service.

SETI@Home? 😎

I flubbed a timelapse of beaut green arc to the West that was very dynamic.

Cold fingers and a crappy tripod mount for my phone. Out of focus. In a rush I didn’t have time to grab my SLR.

Ah, the weird feels of liking this post.

Thank you for your service. 🫡

That came out great!

I wonder how it’d look on a 3 color (black/white/red) E Ink display.

They are paving the way to Apple TV and Apple TV Pro. I only watch my TV in a professional capacity, thank you very much.

If you’re in the Chicagoland area, I have just the film series/theater for you…

I saw it back in probably 2007 (on DVD), and then again a couple of years ago (streaming). There was a good crowd for a 10pm Saturday night screening.

Updated the meme. ♻️

I’m long AMD and NVIDIA, but still find it crazy.

Necessity is the mother of invention, so I imagine we'll see a lot more effort put into this given recent image generation advances.

Canon dabbled (and failed) at this a while ago, but there are groups working on means of cryptographically signing images: contentauthenticity.org

For GPS, you can spoof it with an SDR to make your GPS chipset think it's where ever you want, but more common (in conflict areas) is to deny/jam GNSS.

It does look nice. I’ve had luck buying them early, and not updating the software until a jailbreak is available. They make great self-contained E Ink displays.

… than a few 300 character posts.

I’m a fan of efficiency, so stuff like dark skies ordinances make a ton of sense (why waste energy lighting up the sky?).
