A fraction of a datacenter. Maybe a rack. Maybe two. Maybe ten. I dunno. Like my original point, "training a model" does not inherently involve a GPT-tier amount of electricity, because most AI models aren't eleventy-billion

Hah, I was scrolling through some commercial listings this morning and found a barren industrial warehouse (with windows!) that I thought would be perfect for the eternal tormenting of information workers under the guise of a Fun, Hip Place

If HOAs increase property values, maybe we can convince our overlords that an Office Workers' Association for planning these renovations will help save them from Numbers Go Down in the commercial real estate market.

I'd love to see a comparison between the amount of whiskey and blow consumed by people who get drug tested and the amount of weed smoked by people who don't.

I think "cool" here is subjective, and aptitude aside, not everyone can [design|fix] things, because then who will [fix|design] them? I think a lot of people like the hands-on aspect over, say, math, and/or the fact that thei
