bitching about the anti-academic streak of
crap taking over
Supercomputers put to the task of AI.
Nuclear plants put to the task of powering AI supercomputers.
Yet none of the top-tier HPC compute can go back to academic nuclear plant research simulations. Those sims gotta run on a creaky old institution cluster.
AI bros claim they are gonna bring about a technocracy or some shit but they can't even conceive of Baconian science 101.
And for what? So we can see AI slop in ads. Cut the last bastion of humanity out of corporate marketing. Fucking great.
I think anyone who fundamentally views an artist as an obstacle to be bypassed ought to be bypassed themselves.
Nvidia and openAI are talking about building a 10GW data centre.
So. We gots a big number. Let's look at it.
How much is 10GW? Well the UK has a typical day time electricity consumption of ~40GW. Meaning that this one single data centre is looking to use the same amount of electricity as a quarter of the UK. In a single installation. A quarter of the electricity of the 6th largest economy in the world. A single data centre.
Or put another way. It needs power from 3x sizewell C nuclear plant.
KDE
I really wish KDE would let me rotate a desktop window 90 degrees. The weston wayland demo compositor has had this forever, does literally anything else implement it?
Am I just an unforgivable weirdo for occasionally wanting to have one window have one orientation while the rest of the desktop and windows have another?
I wish I had time to become a contributor for this. Or money to put a feature bounty on it or something.
Funded for now, tysm - GFM to save our cat Clyde
Hey friends,
Things are getting really difficult financially, as Clyde's other fees used almost everything we had left on my disability benefits.
We only have the money for her appointment on Friday.
We've made this GFM for her only, please boost if you don't mind. All amounts are detailed.
Any donation would be really appreciated as well, if you can.
Thank you so much
cute robot girl with a built-in high-energy cannon in her arm because she was developed as military tech, but she's an anarchist, and she fights against the regime that created her
with her precise movements and her computing power she's able to calculate the trajectory of her projectiles with immense accuracy and she's only limited by the theoretical range of her cannon; she's essentially able to take down her enemies firing artillery barrages from her cannon before she's even spotted
also she really likes headpats and bugs
is this anything? ![]()
sonic's podiatrist
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.
