All the new nVidia stuff is liquid cooled, full stop

NVidia understands this too, and are trying to convince all their customers to go closed-loop. We’ll see if they pony up.

I am not anti-datacenter. Your phone apps need a back-end somewhere. But these datacenter companies are making gazillions of dollars. If they want to exist, we should force them to pay whatever it takes to have as little effect on the environment as possible, even if it means their profits are a few million off this month. They can afford it.

Donald Trump did not become President (twice!) by listening to anything experts had to say.

No, the decrease in voter registration is real, there is an official press release about it, with substantively less snark than the linked piece.

My understanding is that all of the AI slop factories are liquid cooled, and that’s where a lot of the major new investment is going. They are mainly using evaporative cooling, because it is cheaper. But, we could require them to spend the extra money (and power) to use closed-loop cooling, and then they would not use up nearly as much water.

It’s a solvable problem. All we need to do is force them to do it.

I’m so excited about my new Standards Development job! I can’t sit still. I’m so ANSI!

Turns out the “Tabletop exercise” was just Hillary Clinton playing Avalon Hill’s “Diplomacy”…

This might be a good time to remind you all that a significant part of this wealth has been accumulated in the past two years. In fact, when NYS was going after his companies, and those big financial judgements came in, it was assumed he didn’t have that much liquid cash on hand, and would have to liquidate some of his properties to pay it off.

But then not only did the judgement get reduced, and he got reelected, but he also found crypto. He stated his Trump coin only a few days before inauguration, and has made bank on it.

All this wealth is due primarily to fleecing his supporters into buying his meme coin.

Yes! Sorry for the confusion, edited to clarify

I ain’t clicking on that game. I wonder what type of telemetry it’s gathering…

It was also marketed as an IPA, but didn’t quite make it there

That’s funny, his wife tells him the same thing

Oh, I definitely blame Biden. He should have stuck to his one-term promise.

We might differ on whether Harris was a “good” candidate, but I think we agree that we would have a better candidate (whether it turned out to be Harris or not) if that candidate was chosen as the result of a competitive primary.

I will argue with you there. She may not have been the best candidate, and might not have won the nomination if there was a primary in 2024, but if she had been elected she would have done the job competently.

Sometimes, the perfect is the enemy of the good.

The graphic artist certainly knew, check out this infographic of how the tower will be erected:

I agree. Not because I feel a woman can’t do the job, but because too many of my fellow Americans are sexist asshats.

The thing is though, they are self-aware to know they can’t just say “a woman can’t do the job” out loud. So they say things like “she has a funny laugh” or “she doesn’t smile enough”. Or say they don’t like her policies, even though they can’t actually name any of her policies. So there will never be a statistic that proves it. Just call it a prediction based in my learned experience.

I hope to live log enough to see AOC (or some other woman, there are several I think are qualified) become President. But I don’t think she can win if she ran right now. And only way she can be in a position to win in 2036 or 2040 is if we turn back the creeping fascism in 2026 and 2028.

Republicans frequently run on a platform that government is corrupt, the they get elected and prove it

Yup, I still have baconreader installed, I can’t delete it.
