And Harley Davidson.
They go hard on branding. They’re one of the few motorcycle brands that let you go for a test ride (others might have a special event day at a dealership where you can ride around the parking lot). If you go for it, expect to be suited up in all the Harley leathers by the sales guy. It’s not a motorcycle, it’s a branded lifestyle where you ride around sometimes.
I’ve never heard anyone say “we need less data centers” until ai came along. What, all the other data centers are totally fine but the ones being used for ai are evil? If you have an issue with the drastically increased power consumption for ai you should be able to argue a stance that is inclusive of all data centers - assuming it’s something you give a fuck about. Which you don’t.
AI data centers take up substantially more power than regular ones. Nobody was talking about spinning up nuclear reactors or buying out the next several years of turbine manufacturing for non-AI datacenters. Hell, Microsoft gave money to a fusion startup to build a reactor, they’ve already broken ground, but it’s far from proven that they can actually make net power with fusion. They actually think they can supply power by 2028. This is delusion driven by an impossible goal of reaching AGI with current models.
Your whole post is missing out on the difference in scale involved. GPU power consumption isn’t comparable to standard web servers at all.
Shoot me a DM.
I would love a tattoo of this.
Water cooling computers. Pretty much all aesthetics. It’s expensive, hard to maintain, and isn’t that much better than decent air cooling these days. Looks really cool, and I still want to do a glass tube build.
Would not recommend to anyone else. You really have to want to do this just because.
If money is going to be irrelevant, then he should give his all away right now. Get ahead of that curve.
If drow lady evil, why so hot?
I dunno if Stephen Miller has a small dick or not, but if he did and was really hung up about it, would he act any different?
ICE is being extra cruel because of this. The numbers Miller expect are outrageous, which is why ICE does everything they can to meet them. Grab a guy who was just walking out of his immigration hearing? Drag mothers from their cars while their kid is inside crying? Raid entire apartment blocks? That’s exactly what happens when law enforcement has to meet a quota at any cost.
Today, we remind you that AWS isn’t the only single point of failure on the Internet.
That’s not how cults work.
You could use that same argument for any other type of math. Boolean logic. Linear algebra. Hyperbolic geometry. You have to pick something for high school, and you should pick what’s most likely to be useful to anybody.
See what happens when you don’t comply in advance?
I assume he doesn’t wipe for the same reasons.
You’re not supposed to try to reproduce the Stanford prison experiment.
Our long nightmare of commodity hardware and open ecosystems is finally coming to an end!
From the comments during the trial, he may very well lose this one.
The trouble is that conservatives hate taxes, and the old ones are just smart enough to know that tariffs are just another way of taxing things. If you go back through Project 2025, you’ll find two opinions on them. One took the libertarian view that tariffs are bad, period. The other took the protectionism view that some tariffs were necessary in order to beat China. Neither wanted such gigantic, across the board tariffs.
The old conservatives on the court were making some very skeptical questions of the Administration lawyers, and didn’t seem to be buying the answers. We’ll see what happens when the ruling comes out, but that sort of thing is a pretty reliable signal of where they’re going to land.
All that said, what’s going to happen is that after prices to average people rose due to tariffs, the payback will go to the companies that imported things, and they’ll pocket the money.
. . . the fundamental ideas about rates of change seem like they’re something that everyone human deserves to be exposed to.
People understand the idea of instantaneous speed intuitively. The trouble is giving it a rigorous mathematical foundation, and that’s what calculus does. Take away the rigor, and you can teach the basic ideas to anyone with some exposure to algebra. 6th grade, maybe earlier. It’s not particularly remarkable or even that useful for most people.
When you go into a college major that requires calculus, they tend to make you take it all over again no matter if you took it in high school or not.
Probability and statistics are far more important. We run into them constantly in daily life, and most people do not have a firm grounding in them.
Just for context, the US uses around 7 billion barrels per year. Can keep the SUVs going for the better part of a century.
Whichever company owns Chrysler has been flailing around from one financial disaster to another for my whole life, and I ain’t that young anymore.
