In a documentary about them putting Dwarf Fortress on Steam Tarn talked about how he had to split the $7 million first payment from Steam with his brother and it turned out the easiest way was to just use the bank app.

You are very wrong. US base load demand is around 400GW that must be provided 24/7

by UltraSane 1mo ago
Baseload is simply the lowest wattage your grid demands in a time period. Solar and wind have not made it irrelevant at all. All of the demand from data centers very much assumes constant reliable power which is in fact a perfect match for

Until we have true AGI there is no value without labor. The shares of Amazon that make Bezos so rich would be worthless without the 1.5 million people working for it.

The human brain is quite special.

When talking about LLM tokens the cost is almost always being implicitly compared to very expensive human developer time.

by UltraSane 1mo ago
Using a LLM whose output is slowed to the rate of a human programmer as a pair programming partner is a very interesting experience.

It really is something to behold. When you start storing FIPS 140-2 Level 4 HSMs offline inside safes you know things are serious.

And route53 makes DNSSEC very easy to enable so all the DNS data is cryptographic signed. This makes putting public keys and certificates in DNS much more sensible.

It IS intentionally cruel because Stephen Miller is a sadistic psycho.

We are talking about the same moron who made the Cybertruck fiasco. I can only imagine how many people told Musk how bad of an idea it was to make a body out of hard stainless steel, and how he probably fired them all. and he shut down one

He is very wrong. color coded syntax makes code MUCH easier to read.

I know I've seen enough people online proudly declare their hatred of IDEs and how real men code in text editors often enough to notice it as a pattern.

by UltraSane 1mo ago
I just generally use the JetBrains IDE for whatever language I'm using.

by UltraSane 1mo ago
I find it so fascinating how many programmers proudly declare how they don't use any IDE when incredibly sophisticated tools like solidworks or Synopsis are universally used in engineering

I swear AGI is becoming the rapture for nerds. People are constantly predicting the date for both and constantly being wrong.

It would be much cheaper just to bribe enough people to build a terrestrial data center.

Modern inertial navigation fiber optic gyroscopes can be used to measure latitude because they can measure the earth's rotation. The routes planes take make absolutely no sense if the earth was flat. They actually use great circle rout

SpaceX is the most successful Musk company because it is the one he has the LEAST direct involvement with. Compare SpaceX to how Musk is causing Tesla to crash and burn. Gwynne Shotwell is the actual reason SpaceX is as successful as it it.

Sites that force you to login to actually use it feel very arrogant.

That includes overprovisioning for times the satellite is behind the earth. And the Tesla robotaxi is still a embarrassing failure.

You need both enormous solar panels and radiator panels. 1MW needs about 7000 square meters of solar panels. This would require 1,500 square meters of radiator panels along with a lot of coolant pipes that have to be kept edge on to the su

Launch costs need to decrease by a factor of 20 to 30 for orbital data centers to make sense. And even then there are enormous issues with irreversible radiation damage.

by UltraSane 1mo ago
Space data centers still make absolutely no sense.

I expect Musk picked Louisiana because it has some of the weakest corporate regulations of any state and will probably let SpaceX get away with almost anything.
