To be clear, “right to compute” is the buzzwordy phrase that AI datacenter operators have come up with to explain why they need your town’s water and electricity supplies, and should not be stopped from taking them. It has nothing to do with rights for actual human people.

I was legitimately wondering about this earlier. You know he’s gonna try and put some kind of loyalty kill switch into these things, so at what point does the government decide they don’t want some random billionaire building out a private army of robots?

Through the first section I thought it was a real user who had had a bad experience or maybe started out on the wrong instance. By the 3rd it was pretty funny tho.

Either that link is wrong or this is the least satisfying rickroll ever.

Key takeaways

  • U.S. children and teens were nearly twice as likely to die as their peers in 18 other high-income countries between 2007 and 2022, researchers found.
  • Among 3- to 17-year-olds, the prevalence of chronic conditions increased from 39.9% to 45.7% in pediatric health systems.
  • Childhood obesity increased from 17.0% to 20.9%.

If you’re gonna include lyrics from a Bo Burnham song you need to include the best ones:

Good girl

In a straw hat

With her arms out

In a corn field

(spoken) That is a scarecrow

I started arguing about some of these in my head before noticing the labels.

This is only really true if there will never be a need to really learn the code base — which maybe will be true for most devs, it’s hard to tell. But if not it could leave the majority of juniors with a much shallower understanding of the way things work under the hood.

“The Gobbler” is a post-Thanksgiving tradition in my family. Get out the ancient, heavy panini press that is probably 80 years old (I could do a core sample of the accumulated grease and count the rings I guess). As you might assume it contains all of the thanksgiving leftovers. This year my sandwich had a bigass brioche bun between which was crammed:

  • turkey
  • stuffing
  • cranberry sauce
  • green beans
  • sweet potatoes
  • swiss and Gouda cheeses
  • chipotle mayo

Add a little butter on the outside and gingerly apply pressure so it doesn’t come apart. After a few minutes you have a several-inch-thick slab of deliciousness.

I should have taken a photo because it was a thing of beauty. Maybe next year.

Probably somebody’s irony meter giving up the ghost.

If I/O speed is important the challenge will be getting lots of nvme slots in a small form factor. Many atx motherboards have bifurcated pci-e slots that can be converted to manage 2 nvme drives at once (in addition to on-board nvme slots) but I don’t know if matx boards do that, so if you wanted 3+ drives that would be the first thing to consider. If you just want a bunch of sata ssds there are more options, but all considerably slower.

It’s like click-edging.

 

Lock in, chat. If you're on your sigma grindset (or your GenZ/Gen Alpha kids are) you might think I'm delulu, but it's true - Thoreau, a utopian philosopher with big W-rizz, lamented the issue, which he described as one's inability to capture the essence of the condition of a gradual atrophy in the capacity to think critically, concentrate, and be in the world appropriately. It's not bussin, no cap.

 

While I understand the concept of federation I'm unclear as to what it actually entails at a technical level. When lemm.ee eventually shuts down, will all of that user content (posts, comments, votes, etc) cease to exist? Is it mirrored on other instances?
