@skinnylatte Oh they are delightful!!! Highly recommend. I did one from New Orleans to Chicago once

I once worked on a project to move a factory and had to learn about the infrastructure of buildings. Concrete floors vary widely in thickness and that changes how much weight they can take!

And thus, old data centers cannot take the physical demands of new data center equipment.

(So few consumers actually care about the ai workloads of these new data centers but none CEOs asked us) https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/844966/heavy-ai-data-center-buildout

Delight from the end of the article:

Musk has claimed that FSD is capable of driving coast to coast unaided, despite Tesla never actually attempting such a feat publicly.

Well, a couple of Tesla owners appear to have given it a try, with a plan to drive a Model Y from Los Angeles to Jacksonville, Florida, operating under FSD the entire way.

At least, that was their plan. In reality, they crashed into road debris after just 60 miles, breaking the car's suspension.

@skinnylatte It does but the buses also provide so many good links and let you see where you are when riding them which is just excellent.

How long are you in NYC for? I'm getting back from Boston tonight

@skinnylatte Yeah! The bus and express bus systems are really lovely and robust

@HauntedOwlbear @neil Hey, what payment processor are you moving to? I'm in the process of setting up a business which skirts the same things and want people to be able to pay online

@annika Yeah, I'm cool with this being on!

@annika @charmcli Oh this is beautiful! If I still coded I would be all over this

@annika I love this and have a related image of Saturn just after rolling out of bed, groggy and tired.

@annika I often do but it depends on the company. Bigger and more corporate? No. More surveillancy? No.

@skinnylatte What's the format for addresses there? I want to imagine it's like:

123 Letter St
Apt 42
Singapore, Singapore, Singapore

And then it feels like you're chanting Singapore!

@annika Nice! I haven't touched Andible in aaagggeesss

@exchgr @cstross @jalefkowit The corporate death penalty is really just treating companies like the hoarder money piñatas they are

@exchgr @cstross @jalefkowit it really is the future liberals want

@exchgr What kind of liberal fantasy posting is this. What kind of twelve dimensional chess is he imagining exists here.

@exchgr Is he imagining that Merrick Garland is going to be persecuted like he should have persecuted Trump in some bizarre busted clock twice a day thing??? I cannot imagine what headspace is making this.

Ed Zitron has said in the past that one of the horsemen of the AI bubble popping would be the release of a shiny new thing to try and prop up generative AI's failure to generate profit.

Well here's OpenAI's Strawberry model to fulfill that promise! A new model that has reasoning! And is more expensive! And fails at grade school tasks in that classic generative AI bullshit way!

@annika Wow sure puts his rivalry with Knuckles in a new light

@annika You sure know how to string me along

When I see you I spring a memory leak

@annika Oh no, jeez, tag your nightmares (I wish to acquire a TOOT pin)
