This has always been true unfortunately

This AIPAC cheque was promised to me 3000 years ago

Punji sticks. Me use poop and sharpness. Give big lizard tiny microbe. Big infection. Me eat meat and watch it slowly die painful horrible death weak from no food or water.

Don’t forget the loudest tell: Quietly.

People who use AI a lot (like me) recognize it instantly. Recent studies find if you take 5 people who use AI a lot and have then grade human or AI output the majority vote is 99% accurate.

I have electric baseboard heaters so i like to heat my home with my server in the winter. I dont use it enough in the summer to warrant the power draw, but i’m looking forward to doing so this winter.

I’m hoping the AI bubble pops soon… i’d really like to pick up a decent accelerator card for AI for my desktop. My current server doesn’t have the PCIe slots left (all filled with U.2 drives on PCIe adapters or HBAs) so it would need to go in my desktop… i thought 64GB was a lot when i built this 3 years ago but now i’m wishing I put 128GB in it…

My server has 238GB though (ordered a 256GB kit and one stick was dead. Caught that on the 4th test cycle with memtest86+ pro which I 100% paid for.) Since I use it for not only ZFS but also all of my random containers and game server VMs.

Maybe try netbird?

I did… it was in my post that I assumed you were capable of reading which was a terrible blunder on my part

I think that’s a self report. If you read more we wouldn’t be having this conversation 🤣

My specific claim isn’t talking about the past year or past decade, but the past 50 years to be clear. The technology has existed to taper off of fossil fuels for a loooong time but we never did. Why? And don’t tell me it was too expensive. Everything is too expensive at first but economies of scale, innovations, and technological maturity drop prices. Solar is cheaper than gas and has been for a long time now. Same with wind… that could have happened earlier.

Theres a difference between token usage on your grid, or edge case countries like Norway that are all mountains and Fjords they can easily dam up for cheap power. Most of the countries you listed still consume huge amounts of fossil fuels and are delayed by decades on decarbonization. Why? You’re pointing to exceptions that prove the rule, also EV usage is a recent thing as the US empire is collapsing.

The US has historically obstructed global climate policy. The Senate’s 1997 Byrd-Hagel resolution passed 95-0 against Kyoto-style commitments. It said the US shouldn’t accept binding emissions limits unless developing countries also took on commitments thereby crippling their own economies.

The US never ratified Kyoto, and it has withdrawn from Paris twice. The US also promotes its own LNG and oil exports. They built the world’s largest petrochemical supercomplex in Louisiana. For the past 70 years the US has made money hand over fist by importing cheap shit oil and refining into products it sells back to other nations. Other nations don’t need to invest in refining capacity or deal with crude grades and markets, and the US earns money and a large part of their dollar backing demand by being the world’s refinery.

Additionally members of the International Maritime Organization voted to delay a global carbon price on shipping after the US threatened sanctions, tariffs and visa restrictions on supporters. Sanctions update

There’s also this how can this happen if Europe isn’t beholden to American interests? Why would the EU sign up to be even more reliant on American oil? If the US were instead a leader on decarbonization how do you think things would be different?

Do you need past US presidents to go on public television and say “We are opposed to any country trying to decarbonize” Or is a wealth of circumstantial evidence and direct evidence not enough?

How about you provide actual meaningful examples to support your counterargument. Address each of the claims I’ve made here because I think they’re pretty damning to your argument. Yes, the US doesn’t allow other countries to decarbonize.

Back that up with some examples and i would be more likely to believe you

Also the USD was backed by oil. The US would never allow countries to truly decarbonize since it undermines the value of the dollar.

Meanwhile, the other side of the bell curve:

“Can we talk later?”

“K”

Yet again semiconductors adding asterisks to physics lecture.

“This is ohms law, and it does these things* except for an-ohmic devices like diodes and semiconductors… they don’t give a shit about ohms law”

“This black body radiation and absorption, it works like this* except for these weird combinations of semiconductors and coatings, which is an exception now.”

In a normal non-bubble world it would just be considered anti-competitive practices. Also typically it’s not possible to do this, as it’s like lighting a pile of money on fire and a single company can’t afford to buy everything to starve their competition of infrastructure. A private business would vote that moron out, and a public one does the same with shareholder votes.

The problem was irrational exhuberance and everybody doing it everywhere. It self corrects eventually with the public likely eating the losses… but the hardware itself is marked down, discounted, and liquidated just the same so it’ll restore the market for components that way.

1. Nvidia backstopping coreweave by renting capacity nvidia doesnt need from coreweave so coreweave can justify demand for nvidia GPUs

2. Customers being forced to take delivery of preordered GPUs that now sit in warehouses, which will age out, and will eventually be in my home server rack some day 😘

You can’t have both those things happening while publicly claiming demand is high and justifies planned capacity. The fire sales are going to be epic… 2001 massively overbuilt fiber which got auctioned off for peanuts. This bubble doesn’t really have lasting infrastructure to auction off besides unused hardware i’ll be able to buy for cheap.

Which means I can buy 32GB+ accelerator cards for peanuts on Ebay to run DS4.1 or Qwen3.8 at home on my own machines.

Same with memory eventually despite the memory cartel trying to prevent it from happening. Once demand implodes for GPUs, so does this synthetic demand for so much HBM, which means a pivot back into consumer memory and normal server RAM…

And then my fellow Canadians were even more enthusaistic than the Germans or the French in using gas… same with night raiding and sapping. The pioneer spirit makes for some batshit crazy nasty combat. It’s where the whole Canadian Geneva checklist jokes come from.

Gross earnings for the whole year bought in gold at that same year as a reference. An ounce of gold was $35 in the same time period. That’s 89 ounces of gold at $1.5/hr working 40 hours a week.

And yes, I know the US went off the gold standard which made the ratio of dollars to gold go haywire. What’s interesting is whatever amount of gold it took to buy a house in 1970 is roughly what you needed to buy it before gold prices skyrocketed recently.

A person in Canada making a 6-figure income today is earning a minimum of 17.55 ounces of gold in gross income

Mimimum wage in 1970 bought approximately 84 ounces of gold in Canada (roughly similar in the US.) Worth roughly $160 000 pre gold spike, and roughly double that after gold went crazy recently.
