Is there any evidence of demand for this much AI compute? Feels very, if you build it they will come. Are we just business by wish casting now?

Without this hype, there is no growth. It’s a Hail Mary.

This was the goal, right?

The purpose of a system is what it does - Stafford Beer

To be a fly on that wall.

In America we have the second amendment and open carry laws. Legally speaking, people openly carrying a weapon should not in itself be considered illegal.

Neither is true.

He was on his knees with two officers holding his arms, another beating him in the head with some hard item while the one on grey disarmed him.

Only after the person in grey moved a few meters away can you hear a gunshot and then they unload 10 or so shots.

Seems like an accidental discharge or they thought he got his gun in his hand since it wasn't in the holster anymore. Either way, extreme incompetence shown once again by aggressive and untrained white supremacist thugs, which is exactly what they want.

He was disarmed before he was shot 11 times. I’m not all ACAB or anything, but literally part of the reason the constitution exists is to limit the use of force by the federal government.

As a society we should be skeptical any time the government decides to use lethal force against it’s own civilians.

And here I told myself I wasn't going to buy anymore synthesizers.

“LOL! Does anyone think CEO's of major corporations are trying to improve the world?”

I think that there are some leaders who think about building a business in terms of providing value or an exchange of goods.

I think there’s a fundamental difference to society between a ceo that abstracts their role as building a product people value, and one that sees their role as hacking the stock price. The first still may do terrible things, but I think a lot of modern problems in society stem from the fact that deregulation changed the incentives from (1) to (2), but I’m pro any conversation that tries to move us back towards 1

It’s not just reckless it’s misanthropic. He’s rowing upstream against a messaging strategy of “fuck y’all!” Jobs? Fuck y’all!

The value of a library is not in the code it’s in the operations. It’s been curated and tested by multiple people in multiple environments. One of the ways to code at a high level is to delegate the cognitive load.

If you really can one shot it and it’s simple(left-pad). Great. But most things aren’t my that simple, the third time you have to think about it, it’s probably a net loss.

This messaging is like tailor made for the culture war and the cynical part of me wonders if the goal is to appeal to Trump voters?

“No immigration and more blue collar jobs”
