He’d better get a hell of a plea deal bargain out of this.

I’m fucking pissed that he’s not even giving jury nullification a chance.

What else is AI for?

Yeah, a lot of ‘smoke breaks’ aren’t officially sanctioned by the company. The smokers just take them, and what’s the company going to do about it?

But, as a rule, I don’t really like blowing smokers. Smoker cum legit tastes much worse than normal.

This isn’t really chaotic enough for my tastes.

BinFace had just under 1/3rd of the votes, Fascist Scam Artist had just over 2/3rd of the votes

That’s it. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

If you don’t light the datacenter on fire, someone else will.

You need to learn the ways of the dumpster:

A) Find the good dumpsters. Some grocery stores have ‘compost only’ dumpsters, and those are an absolute gold mine. Those ones will be full of food and only food.

B) Of course you need to wash everything thoroughly before eating it. And don’t take (unwrapped, unsealed) things that can’t be washed.

C) Follow your nose. Billions of years of evolution have actually equipped you pretty well when it comes to determining which food is and isn’t safe to eat. If it looks good and smells good, it probably is good. Add a bit of common sense and looking out for signs of a few of the more dangerous things – like botulism – and you’re pretty well safe. Also pay attention to recent recalls – if the store is throwing away lots of the same thing, and none of it is expired yet, check for recalls on that product before eating it. (And look at why it was recalled. Recalled stuff is sometimes still perfectly safe to eat. Lots of recalls happen for reasons such as the product being mislabeled and not mentioning an allergen that might be present. In that case, as long as you’re not allergic to that particular thing, you’re good.)

I’ve never once gotten sick from eating dumpster food. IMO, unless you have some specific health condition that puts you at higher risk, you’re very unlikely to have problems.

Nvidia did make a shit power connector standard, though.

Honestly, the entire concept is pretty dumb – 6 different connectors to deliver the same +12V DC power. Trying to split it between different connectors is stupid. It’s the same source, same destination, but when splitting the power without some fairly complicated power electronics to balance the load, you’re just asking for trouble. Electricity will follow the path of least resistance. If one of the connectors has a slightly better connection than the others, more power will flow through that one, and less through the others. While the connectors can handle the load when it’s perfectly balanced, they can’t handle the load when too much of the power is flowing through one of the connectors and less of it through the others. The one that’s conducting the most power will overheat.

The main power connections should instead be large single conductors and large single connectors. One big +12V connector and one big ground connector, along with thick single wires connecting each to the power supply. Make them as big as necessary to supply the 600W or more that the biggest modern GPUs want. Will that make it a bit more expensive? Yes. But only a bit – it would be a tiny fraction of the cost of one of these GPUs, and well worth it to protect the investment that the GPU represents.

(Hell, go ahead and future-proof it by making it capable of ~1800W, so even if you have an independent power supply just for the GPU, and it’s maxing out a standard household outlet, it will still be able to handle that absurd power demand. At anything higher than 1800W, the house’s wiring will be the limiting factor, not the GPU’s power connector.)

This ‘share the load among multiple connectors/conductors’ strategy is only here because the standards we have now are built upon a hodgepodge of previous standards, trying to power these extremely power-hungry GPUs with power infrastructure that’s based on trying to be compatible with old Molex shit that was never meant to handle this much power. Make a new standard from the ground up. Stop this insanity of trying to split the load between multiple conductors without load balancing.

Most people don’t do that.

I think you underestimate how sycophantic these AIs can be. Especially once you push back a little and insist on having it your way.

But those experts don’t tell Mr. Senator “you’re absolutely right!” often enough.

Legit, yes.

Went to the local hardware store yesterday to pick up some necessary nuts and bolts for building a bicycle trailer (itself being built so I don’t have to spend money on gas as much). And fully half of those nuts and bolts went into my pockets instead of the little bag they give you to go through the checkout. The more expensive half, of course.

Until the Epstein class is behind bars – or better yet, 6ft underground – I will continue to do everything possible to keep my money out of their pockets, which includes stealing things when feasible.

But, also, beef is pretty much the worst meat when it comes to environmental impact of producing it. So it probably should be the most expensive.

and unfortunately most fresh produce at this point

Special secret: grocery store dumpsters are often full of perfectly good fresh produce – and I mean full. And in most states, it’s perfectly legal to take some. Learn the ways of the dumpster, and you’ll eat like a king.

that’s almost old enough to get a driver’s license itself

Bruh. As far as I’m concerned, a car under 20 years old is a huge luxury.

This is absolutely a container for a spare/replacement typewriter ribbon.

As for what that text around the rim means, though, that’s still a mystery. Maybe it’s just decorative, a random assortment displaying the kinds of letters and numbers one might be typing with this ribbon? Kind of for advertisement purposes… Looking at the font of the letters, they look pretty clean and uniform (for a typewriter), so maybe it was meant to suggest that this was a high-quality ribbon that would help you type cleaner-looking letters?

(Still, if that’s the case, then their marketing department kind of missed an opportunity there, to instead spell out something that would hopefully make it more appealing than purely random numbers and letters.)

Nah, they’re too small to make a decent meal of.
