Yeah, 88/2 is weird as shit. Perhaps the GPUs are especially large? I know NVIDIA has that thing where you can slice up a GPU into smaller units (I can’t remember what it’s called, it’s some fuckass TLA), so maybe they’re counting on people doing that.

This is the most important piece of information. You should edit the post and/or title to make this more clear.

Thank you for sharing this fact that has filled me with joy. I am not enough of a science hippy to tell if beer, wine, or bourbon contain more phytoestrogens than soy, but they absolutely do contain it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6761902/

Gimmie dat d-limonene over any of these, please.

I hadn’t even thought of that! I did some oxyacetylene welding many moons ago and I remember the heat being absolutely intolerable at times.

I do machining as a hobby now and I’d really like to filter out cutting oil smoke. My biggest fear using a PAPR is my shop is the hose—I’d need to find a way to keep it REALLY close to my body. I don’t want to get pulled into my lathe face-first.

I very much want a PAPR as well. I seem to recall that there were some units that came out of COVID that are somewhat cheaper, at least.

Open source can be enshittified. FOSS with many contributors should be basically proof against being fucked with.

Yep, that’s my use-case. I am not interested in unlocking the door, only locking it.

the f stands for file. The c manpage has some details on how it works: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/flock.2.html

CAD was a big problem for me as well. I’ve been happy enough with OnShape (coming from Autodesk Inventor), but the extreme SaaS nature of it makes me worry.

Yeah, I think it’d be a pretty silly thing for us to ever try to do. My goal was to take their stupid idea, provide a slightly less stupid idea, and then say “or just don’t do space power at all and keep everything terrestrial.” Orbital solar power stations were lots of fun in science fiction, but panels are cheap, there’s plenty of land, and giant death masers that cook any birds flying into the beam are, uh, suboptimal.

We’ve had the template for this for decades. Put the solar panels in space where the thick soupy gunky spunky atmosphere doesn’t stop the little energy things from the sun. Collect the power in orbit. You just do that up there up in orbit okay? And then you fucking beam the power down to the surface you numpty fucks. Use a maser to send the power down to the surface and you can pick a frequency that isn’t affected by the gunky spunky and then the receivers on the ground can pick it up and they send the power through these things called wires to a building that uses the power and the building can use this neat little thing called CONVECTION to more efficiently remove the heat from the things using the electricity wow.

Or just, y’know, use less power and make use of ground based solar. We don’t need fucking AI data centers in space. Don’t get me wrong, I think it might be useful to, say, have some compute up in geostationary orbit that other satellites could punt some data to for computation. You could have an evenly spaced ring of the fuckers so the users up there can get some data crunching done with a RTT of like 50ms instead of 700ms. That seems like a hard sell, but it at least seems a bit tenable if you needed to reduce the data you’re sending back to the earth down to a more manageable amount with some preprocessing. That is still not fuckass gigawatt AI data centers. Fuck

Oh god, please don’t use it for Bash. LLM-generated Bash is such a fucking pot of horse shit bad practices. Regular people have a hard enough time writing good Bash, and something trained on all the fucking crap on StackOverflow and GitHub is inevitably going to be so bad…

Pretty sure they got hacked, their comment history was fairly normal before.

EDIT: somewhat normal, at least. idk, I’m not sure what’s been vandalized at this point.

Yo, I think your shit got hacked.

People from India are the same as people anywhere else. I’ve worked with a lot of good engineers who were from India.

AFAIK, LFP thermal runaway can’t start fires. NMC or other lithium chemistries can and they scare me, but LFPs are pretty damn safe. That being said, I’m still stoked for sodium chemistries to be developed. If the round trip efficiency issues can be solved, then I think it’ll be a great solution for residential power storage.

I made the mistake of buying a Samsung washer/dryer set in 2017. The washer actually still works and the seal has held up well, but the dryer drum jumped its tracks within the first year, and both have been plagued with gremlins.

Fuck Samsung appliances and honestly most things Samsung sells.

26 years later and it’s still a fucking banger of an article: https://theonion.com/new-e-toilet-to-revolutionize-online-shitting-1819565332/

I wouldn’t necessarily say that. I used to shoot competitively (service rifle across-the-course), and we’d shoot 200 yards off-hand. We don’t know if the shooter was prone, sitting/kneeling, or standing. If they were standing (because they wanted to beat a quick retreat) then it was a hell of a shot. Honestly, even if they were prone it’s not bad. Given the nature of the shooting, it appears that the shooter didn’t want collateral damage. There were a LOT of people there, and that pressure would make any shot harder.
