@FediTips I think @briankrebs nailed it

@Npars01 @noellemitchell Sorry, that does not track with what the hyperscalars are actually doing. Training runs need high continuous base load and even coal doesn’t do that well.

In reality, GenAI requirements are turbocharging the drive to carbon-free nuclear

ICYMI: #Telegram is *not* #encrypted in any meaningful sense. Which means with Pavel in French custody, NATO is almost certainly evesdropping on the Russian military as it communicates “securely”

Remember: a #billionaire means your network almost certainly is nor primarily focused of technology, but rather profitability

This hits close to home in multiple ways. For one, I’m physically not terribly far from Littleton. For another, at least one of my own children is LGTBQ.

The article and many of the townspeople take a reasonable stance that religion is not the root of the problem. I disagree on that point; it seems to me that religion is inherently tribalistic and divisive. Muddles like this are going to happen at long as that tribalism is normal.

@nsarwark How so? AFAICT:
A) the poster was the NHLP
B) you associate with the LP
C) you support, or have supported, the NHLP/FSP

Have you recanted your support?

@nsarwark this is the group you associate with. Disgusting.

@Gargron @medley56

I am surprised at the level of visceral Luddism.

"I'm not looking at any iPhoto or Pixel pictures. If you couldn't put in the effort to get an SLR camera and manually set the f/stop and aperture to take an *actual* picture, I won't put in the effort to see it."

Wait... do you use all *handmade* paper, or do you condone that heartless machine-made stuff?

@Gargron So you're saying you want a "celluloid film" style transfer model... have you checked HuggingFace?

Using Physics to prove Mathematics(!!!)

This is the most brain-tingling talk I have seen in a long time. Drop *everything* and watch this from 3:00 to 6:30 as prof. Tokieda makes Pythagoras (and your brain) spin!

@nsarwark Maybe some movements fail because their members fall en masse for conspiracy theories and effectively become assets of influence campaigns, typically by Russia, China, and Iran.

Maybe libertarianism is in exactly that boat.

@cwebber I have a friend who was in our State legislature. She put forward a bill legalizing sex work. Her own Democratic Party "leadership" made it their top priority to marginalize and dehumanize her. It was traumatic just to watch, say nothing of what it was like for her on the receiving end.

She did not run for re-election 😢

@fu @nsarwark Sununu won re-election in 2022 despite masking and telling the House Liberty Caucus to "grow up" in re: their mask protests. I am grateful for that.

The NH R and L party activists largely both went full Q tho.

Sad!

@wjmaggos @dangillmor AOL CDs

@wjmaggos @dangillmor Several factors:
1. Netscape Navigator
2. Pr0n

@nsarwark Then maybe you could, say, wear a mask get vaxxed, and start convincing your libertarian followers of the same.
