Well, yes, but we're still sitting at ~80% of 2020 levels. Perhaps just hangover from 2022, perhaps the end of ZIRP, but it's still depressed relative to 2020.

That part was not discussing data center jobs; it was asking cdrnsf if they'd object to other industries bringing in jobs that just happened to be above median wage (which would increase the COL for existing residents).

They need it to not clog up their cooling loop, corrode fixtures if the pH is off neutral, etc. It doesn't need to be potable.

> Why don’t data centers use gray water more often? DCs will just use the cheapest source that meets their needs. If they have to treat greywater and that costs more than municipal potable water, they'll use the potable water. (In

Marginal agricultural water use is alfalfa / nut farming in the desert and ethanol corn, not products consumers actually care about. Consumers aren't clamoring for E15 fuel over E10.

You can be against lying about water use and for being honest about additional electricity demand at the same time. You can't smear someone for rejecting falsehoods just because you have an unrelated complaint.

Slopulism is effective because people are idiots and happy to eat up lies that align with their priors. Nothing to do with material conditions.

The absolute strongest complaint is that DCs consume treated, potable water, which is less abundant / easily re-created than any old non-potable source. (Of course the easy solution here is DCs just ingest / treat their own non-po

Most of the confusion just stems from anti-DC advocates lying about water usage, not any specific technical details.

Are you saying any industry that brings in net new jobs with above median wages is bad? Or just ones with few employees and high additional property tax revenue?

How much $ extra are you willing to pay for the extremely occasional transfer at rates higher than gigabit? 2x? 3x?

Do you mean Cat 6 or Cat 5e? Cat 6e isn't a thing and 6a didn't exist in 2006. 6 was certainly more future-proof at the time, although arguably 5e is still fine even today. (Super-gigabit consumer equipment didn't really ex

This is a drop-in improvement for essentially any binary search over 16-bit integer members.

Sort of, yes, but you're also removing a data dependency between the unrolled stages.

There is some detection for obstructing the LED. It's a little more clever than you assume.

My employer is paying for it, so I'm cost insensitive, and this is mostly with Claude / Opus 4.7 (which consumes a lot of tokens?).

It doesn't take much. If an elite burns 1500-2000 kcal running a marathon, even ignoring glycogen and exogenous carb, that's only ~195-260g of body fat (~7.7 kcal/g). Even at an extremely lean 4% body fat, Kejelcha would ha

If you can get away from measuring in the seconds domain, just sticking to timecounter values really simplifies. Embed a single reference timestamp pair (seconds domain <-> ticks) in your trace and do post-facto conversion in your an

That may still be worthwhile if fat is harder to recruit than exogenous carbs.

Sure, sure. I remember a time when I didn't have a sound card that supported it and couldn't play multiple streams at a time; this is a thing that really happened. I did eventually go out and buy a soundcard to enable multiple s
