bitching about the anti-academic streak of :ai: 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? :neofox_heart:

@NoFood4u meet me in the bittorrent peer group chat for Ancient Aliens Season 24 bluray

EDIT: GOAL REACHED. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Hey, I really didn't want to make this post, but
I've completely run out of money. Recently, I've been having to hitchhike my way to school, and I've been having to eat less and less every day. I will have to buy meds soon as well, and I won't be able to afford them.

If you can afford it, I would really appreciate it if you sent some money my way.

Goal: $75/$75

What you are referring to as Haiku OS is actually GNU/Haiku OS...

I refer to clams as a cross between a cow and a vacuum cleaner. And like a cow, some species of clams fart out a fair bit of methane, due to methanogenic microbes in their guts! Their farts may account for ~10% of methane released in some environments. So to answer a question I'm sure many of you have, yes, clams fart. #clamFacts

< im an angel. Everyone agree with me now

The npm worm started spreading 5 days ago. 550+ known affected packages so far, including some with millions of downloads per week. Security vendors desperately trying to keep the lists of affected packages up-to-date, with mixed results.

Still zero word from Microsoft, the billion-dollar tech company that runs npm. Not so much as a tweet. After an entire business week. And the only real guidance that the various third-party security companies can provide, is "don't run npm at all until it's resolved".

Incredible.
