The last part is absolutely false. The Nvidia H100 TDP is like 700W, though ostensibly configurable. The B200 is 1000W. The AMD MI300X is 750W.

They also skimp on RAM with many SKUs so you have to buy the higher clocked ones.

They run in insane power bands just to eek out a tiny bit more performance. If they ran at like a third of their power, I bet they would be at least twice as power efficient, and power use scales over nonlinearly with voltage/clock speed.

But no, just pedal to the metal. Run the silicon as hard as it can, and screw power consumption.

Other AI companies like Cerebras are much better, running at quite sane voltages. Ironically (or perhaps smartly), the Saudis invested in them.

A reminder that Trumpy candidates to run against is what some Democrats wanted:

I mean the application could tell by looking at how its encoded, right?

Though I acknowledge how problematic “trusting” the app to do that is.

Yeah, I feel like people are freaking out and ignoring that Biden (and Trump) are largely the people they surround themselves with, and the policies they push.

They’ve both been president for years.

Yeah, I mean we’re like lobsters being slow boiled.

This whole situation is mad, but it feels plausible because it’s been ratcheted up so gradually.

Can you imagine the country’s reaction if they say this 2 decades ago?

No, plenty of nonpartisan and even liberal people were yelling this too. I had no illusions of Biden’s age.

America is not just two internet echo chambers… even if it feels like it right now.

Webp works fine for me now.

The problem is AVIF. I mean I love AVIF (almost as much as JPEG-XL), but it doesn’t work with anything except browser web pages, even after all this time.

Because the election is a popularity contest, and name recognition is everything.

And he’s the incumbent. He is president right now.

I then joked that I half expected a woman in a red, white, and blue bikini holding up the round number between each question.

That’s the next debate.

Trump’s idea, until he backtracks on stage and says he ‘never knew this woman.’ And Biden’s team goes along with it, thinking it will be a distraction, and somehow Biden blurts this out and makes it backfire.

Oh, they will play this debate in clips forever.

We live in an age of YouTube and tiktok shorts.

We live in a world where Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho is more electable than the candidates we have.

I figured Idiocracy was prescient, but it’s coming true awfully fast.

It’s like a cherry on top.

Or anyone period.

Yeah. Normally I wouldn’t care, but when the colonies/galaxies get big, even a 30% TPS hit or whatever starts to feel very painful.

Cross compatible social media?

We really are in the future.

I would note that Rimworld and Stellaris (for me) run much slower in linux than they do on windows, and they are kind of perforamnce sensitive games.

What is the bot using? ChatGPT?

I think this is a case where it’s trying to sugarcoat the summary because the rhetoric is too violent.

Which is really fascinating… Here we have a possible next president of the united states, using rhetoric so extreme it’s literally triggering llm guardrails. That’s so messed up.

It would be amazing if this really happened, and they hashed stuff out.

DeSantis’s disaster response was good. He did an excellent job the last few hurricane seasons, including when Ian hit us, and he’s cognizant of how crooked the insurance companies were, among other things.

Say what you will about everything else (and I have a lot to say, trust me, I would not vote for him), but y’all are just demonizing him because he’s a Republican. And, quite fairly, for some destructive party line policies.

Also… y’all haven’t seen anything yet. I was in this rain, and again, it’s nothing compared to Ian or the upcoming season.

No one would vote for them if we did.
