“East”? I thought you said “Wy’east”.

As it turns out, human heads contain an arrangement of cells that functions almost like the neural networks of machine learning.

Remember when Trump said that Hillary was corrupt for accepting payment for speeches?

Grab him by the pussy.

Its all going to become more efficient enough you can run it all locally. Why are we trying to piss away zillions of dollars on data centers

The idea that the hardware we currently have is good enough for future applications hasn’t been true of software in general. As better hardware becomes available, software has improved to take advantage of it. Also, the improvements in software have allowed the development of even better hardware, in a virtuous cycle.

Also, regarding local vs cloud computing in general, datacenters provide an economy of scale that can’t be matched by local compute. Shared datacenters are also more efficient than everyone having expensive hardware that they only use a fraction of the time. This is why datacenters were expanding rapidly even before the recent advances in large language models.

What in the whirl…

The comment by ksymph sums up my thoughts exactly:

The principles behind this effort are admirable, but I’m concerned about the practical implementation. Who is funding this? How will one person per domain be verified? Is self-hosting actually required, or can one use an external host; in the case of the former, how would it be verified, and in the case of the latter, what exactly does this tld accomplish that isn’t accomplished by free tlds, tlds like .me, or services like duckdns? Open source software clients as described are a major undertaking; why keep them under the umbrella of this tld?

I respect the goals here, and I want this to succeed, but this is a massive project, and without a clear plan I’m afraid this will peter out even if the tld is granted.

The headline is a lie. Not only did they not cut into the roof of the reactor, but the reactor was also offline when they replaced the steam generators

Bruce Power cut into the roof of an operating nuclear station, hauled eight steam generators weighing 100 metric tons each (about 110 US tons) out through the top, and lowered brand-new ones into the same hole. Then it brought the reactor back online on June 8

When you really get down to it, it’s the people who vote against single-payer who are to blame. The insurance companies are acting in their own self-interest, and the politicians simply represent the people who voted for them.

It’s not a good design, anyway, according to the principles of vexillology. We should replace it after the civil war.

My answer has nothing to do with current events: what scares me the most about the future is the inevitable death of my parents. I am scared of never being able to talk to them ever again.

I remember when 30° was considered acute.

Meh. The government has aircraft, tanks, drones, and missiles. Personal firearms won’t counter them.
