Everyone on LinkedIn should be quarantined.

She and, somehow, Rob Schneider, really made that movie. They really committed to the bit.

I think they mean products that are not new to the market, but are still actively manufactured.

Seaweed is all over Japanese, Korean, Chinese and likely other nation’s foods.

People have been extracting and concentrating cannanaboids for a long time. If there were more serious side effects from strong weed we’d know.

This person is likely in facilities, I doubt they are touching servers much after they’re racked. Maybe a crash cart is shit really hits the fan and ops can’t get in remotely.

They went from directly being responsible for AI to having nothing to do with it. My question is not unreasonable.

So when you said “Without me there is no AI,” what were you referring to?

Previously the equation was trying to get as much processing out of every kilowatt-hour, now the equation is trying to use as much energy as possible. The impact of AI eclipses IT loads from before by a massive margin, and because of the theory behind it will never, ever do any better than it is right now. The environmental impact should bother you because it’s massive and getting bigger.

And you’re helping set it up and keep it going. I know what it’s like to run a datacenter, I did it for a decade and a half. I’m not going to say I’m making more money now, but I do sleep much better.

I don’t think anyone disagrees about early 3d aging poorly. But I wouldn’t even call OG Doom fully 3d on account of everything besides walls and floors being sprites. Sprites are just pixels, and no vertices mean no 3d.

Are you John Lithgow in Footloose?

I cannot wait for this bubble to burst.

You can, but people rarely do more than once, which should be an indication of how much fun it is.

If you still have a local non-chain pharmacy use them until they go out of business. They will eventually because the chains have a stranglehold on pricing and are actively raising costs for independents, then offering to buy the business as it founders.

Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus drugs is my refuge from pharmacies. It’s cheaper than the chains even if you have insurance, but I can’t be my Adderall through them.

Swimming nude is far superior. Nude sunbathing feels great.

The $/flop of that 16% must be awful.

Level 7 susceptible in real life.

No it isn’t.

Nimrod was a great hunter in the Bible. Bugs was being sarcastic and did the man dirty for generations to come.

Absolute truth. I haven’t run into a single game that doesn’t run on my second-from-top-of-the-line gaming PC I built last year under Linux. I know they exist because I see articles about a developer removing Proton support for odd reasons, but it hasn’t impacted me yet.

MS has largely made their own OS irrelevant by putting the Office Suite in the cloud. If you need Excel but don’t want Copilot throwing all your screengrabs to Redmond a box running Ubuntu or Mint or Bazzite or MacOS (a legit option for some people with niche applications that cater to the Apple crowd). MS is following the same playbook with the Xbox brand. If everything is an Xbox then why would you harness yourself to a crappy MS branded one?

Apple’s making it easy these days. Mac Minis are cheap and more than enough computer for 95% of people’s tasks, while also using sipping watts. I’m on a M4 Mac Mini and it’s using 3.91 watts right now. I’ve run it at full tilt for extended periods of time and I barely heard the fan. It even runs BG3 somehow.

That said, the power button being on the bottom is dumb but not a real issue. MacOS’s assumption that you’re going to be using a trackpad is annoying for those of us with nice mice. Actually, MacOS is just annoying in a lot of ways. I get that the bumpers are there to keep people from causing long lines at Genius Bars, but I wish there were just a single button that I could hit that tell the machine I know my way around a *nix and don’t need to be babied at every turn.
