Here I was hoping they wouldn’t take the deal. But after seeing a quote from their president, it’s obvious only $$ talk.

Literally shit that Al-Queda is doing in Afghanistan and yet people still don’t realize it.

Nope. “Top Shelf” came from liquor at a bar. The most expensive stuff is put up there so it is a focal point of what the bar has and can be seen wherever you’re at in the bar. It’s also up there because it’s rarely used given its price.

So interestingly, “top shelf” in grocery terms is the exact opposite.

You mean the exact thing they agreed to over 11 years ago and then the US just trampled all over?

My company should be providing me the tools I need to get things done. If I’m making $500K, that means the company should be willing to pony up $250K in tokens, not me personally.

(Not to mention that I reject the entire premise)

Just when I start getting the inkling to go back there because of how much I love it, I’m reminded how far it’s crumbled and is now just another city in China.

Some most

I bought an Intel Arc B580 to put my money where my mouth is. $270, can play most things on high settings at 1440p, and for anything with XeSS compatibility it can do 80-90fps (about 60fps for other games).

Is it an amazing card that will play 4K Ultra at 144Hz? No, but it works for 99% of how I like to play.

At least they gave some potential thing that they could do, because frankly I was having trouble coming up with what.

Let’s keep count kids. If the US does this, this will be the third sovereign leader they depose of in less than a year. Guessing there’s no limit at this point.

Hands down the Sovereign class for me too. First time seeing it in First Contact on the big screen was so damn amazing.

The US is still providing support to Ukraine?

Pigeon management: Fly in, shit on everything, strut around like you’re the best and then fly away without a care.

If you’re going to use AI in a military capacity, I’d say the infrastructure to support it becomes a perfectly valid target.

I think the other part of the issue is “is it just good enough?” Will you see developers end up like other bespoke professions like tailors and coach builders?

Can they do it better than AI? No doubt about it. But will they become a niche, high cost luxury because everyone else is just fine with what AI can churn out?

Look at clothes makers and clothes before with the amount of detail and care that was put into them. Or the printing press and books. Each one used to be a work of art, made by hand. Sadly if people are fine with “just good enough”, it’ll stick around and I think that’s what most businesses are counting on.

Racism is just tribalism evolved.

The one biggest thing I’ve noticed is how little reporting there is on the war this time, which says something in and of itself.

When the two Iraq wars were going on there was daily briefing of just how much “ass kicking” there was with pictures, theme songs, logos, and daily counts of units destroyed.

Yet the state news, err, Fox, CNN and CBS are feeling oddly quiet or just reporting similar small stories here and there

Got news for you with the Datacenters…

So is there an option to pick it back up again or is it just lost to the bits after that?

Oh this is an interesting conundrum. On one hand, fuck AI, but on another, playing in the street is very much fuck cars….
