Ubuntu started locking security updates behind an account. I therefore don’t care what the Ubuntu installer does anymore because I’ll never use it again.

Dude, yes. That is a precedent I want to see established.

To be fair I’ve seen similar insanity before the days of infra slop.

No. Not quietly.

Hanging out with Epstein will do that. Unless you’re able to somehow get your name redacted out of the files.

Not a single tulip. The bulb. The best new tulip line from which the latest product in a hot market could emerge. What would it be worth to have the production capability for and exclusive sales rights for the latest iPhone?

I dunno. Windows 11 orphaned a bunch of laptops that are useless for everything but Linux. And Linux works a lot better than nothing

Sounds good to me. I’ve got 50.99999% uptime! Five nines club!

Forget Venezuela and Iran. You want a war with 100% popular support? Go to war against the scammers.

This is so dumb. Show me an example of the economic model where this works and I’ll shake your hand. (Hint, no such model has ever been demonstrated or even proposed). Under current economic system, displacing wage earning work does NOT end

I’ve built and managed data centers. There’s a difference between a modest collocation space and an industrial deployment by a big five AI provider. People in the area (and sometimes neighboring states) face increased power prices since a d

Taiwan. That’s the reason these little low value wars and erosion of soft power are ill timed, ill considered and ultimately supremely destructive to our relevance and influence in the world. But, good news for China!

Isn’t there a song that goes: I can’t save you, I can’t even save myself?

Don’t tell me what to do

That seems like a bad plan at this stage of the game.

Derivatives on “rock solid” debt. Where have I heard this one before?

Am I crazy or did nowhere in the article mention how much nvram the card has? Anyway a great start. If you asked me to start a gpu company from scratch, I’d be thrilled to only fail this much on the first launch.

Stop saying data centers in space. That’s not what anyone is building. They’re building satellites that contain computers. Already a solved problem. The only question is what density and what quality.

Might be the Only way to go. Rock protects against cosmic and solar radiation, provides a scaffolding upon which to affix atmosphere retention skin and protects against puncture by micrometeorites. I worry about the sharp dust for equipment

Oh child of summer. We are not rocks. The geological timeframe means nothing if we make our ball of mud uninhabitable in the short term. We could have this place lit up and dried out in a hundred years.

Excellent work on Walmart’s part. I can think of no better and faster way to force every state to make this illegal immediately. I’ll send this to my state legislator today and ask him to draft the bill.

If you can buy low and sell high it’s worth it. Especially if you’re positioned to buy when you can lock in low mortgage rates. Above 6% you might be better off putting your down payment into the stock market and renting. It’s also more lik

Stop saying orbital data centers. They will be compute constellations or nothing at all. (Data center is a warehouse with servers in it. That’s impossible in space with current technology). But a million satellites with a gpu? Yep. Terrestr
