Art by me, eye contact
Gift art I've spent the last several days making for my great friends @astra_underscore !
Drawn in Aseprite, which suffered for my enormous canvas size. Other resources involved include Blockbench, GNU Image Manipulation Program and Unsplash
re: GPU power waste, LLM nonsense
@clarfonthey as a general rule when using GPUs for general compute (instead of just graphics) you can do parallel computation with more energy efficiency than a CPU. It is just that the minimum power draw to reach that efficiency is significantly higher than a CPU, and the GPU can only be used efficiently for certain types of compute (notably nothing involving significant branching).
I've always thought the more pertinent point is that power is being wasted on entertaining this nonsense at all.
There's an old Russian joke, a man walks by the newstand every day. He looks at the newspapers but never buys anything.
One day the owner of the stand asks him if he's looking for something in particular. He says an obituary. The news seller says: "Ah those are on the back"
"Not the one I'm looking for" the man replies

Also to be clear I'm not saying the impoverished are constantly stealing and *that's* why they're barred. I'm just saying they *oughta* be stealing at this level of need. The threat and reliability of punishment should not measure up to this level of desperation gdi
If you're sleeping on concrete, it should be easy to steal corn, goddammit. The idea that we can't watch out for each other that much, jeez. The fucking cops should not be chilling at the entrance of a grocery store

Like at this point in a society, people not constantly stealing bread from stores is a *bad* thing
Diaspora isn't tragedy, it is the resiliency and strength of distributed and highly interconnected community.
In a place like the United States I see members of diasporadic communities cope with the perceived tragedy unhealthily. The only healthy way of dealing with it is staying connected to your people wherever they are and wherever you are. Those connections however limited are not something be be sad or ashamed of, they should be cherished.
Lots of good scholarship on this in diaspora studies, but I don't think the core lesson gets spread often enough. A strong diaspora is something to be proud of.

I've been seen emails and such like this one often:
"Do he hedgehog feets smells really really badly bigly stinkly when he takes them off for you, sir?"
I must reiterate: I cannot comment on this as it would be a violation of doctor patient confidentiality. Stop dming me and emailing me. I need to get back to work uploading all the patient's feet pics into a machine learning model for the institute.
New premiere! Prepare to cyber! Now!!!

I put a lot of work into manually making the English captions, so if you have trouble with un-captioned YouTubePoops, don't worry! It was fun to sprinkle in a little David Wilcock source material too

Anyways, stay

cursed food poll (vegan, but throwing PETA a curveball)
With the rise of 'impossible' imitation food meats I would like to pose a question for the public. If the following animal meats were available as plant-based vegan alternatives, where would you draw the line?
Vegan cow (impossible/beyond burger, ground plant beef, etc) included as a control. Select as many as you would be willing to eat. Please do not vote just to show results.
