Probably also a good explanation for why Trump has been acting extra unhinged lately. Probably was hoping they could get their big win and walk away

Not news but for anyone struggling with paywalls I highly recommend the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension. Not sure if it’s on chromium based browsers but you can use it on both Android and desktop Firefox

They have cell coverage in the hole now? Smh my head everyone’s on their phone now

They were too full of lint to takeoff

I can just imagine them deciding to spell it out because it sounds more fancy and erudite and just assuming they must know what it stands for because they’re a super smart journalist

Ah interesting guess I got it mixed up. Thanks!

This one sure isn’t anymore

An outside context problem is something so outside your culture/frame of reference it’s impossible to predict beforehand or combat when it arises.

An Outside Context Problem was the sort of thing most civilisations encountered just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop.

Which I fucking wish

Well luckily Nvidia’s new data center cards are famously power efficient and generate very little heat. Latency also doesn’t matter that’s nerd shit. How could this not work?

If they’re admitting to 50% still being operational I wonder how much higher the real number is

Facism is as American as apple pie, the Europeans were just copying our homework.

Doesn’t the US mainly extract garbage heavy sour crude now but most of the refineries are setup for the old light sweet crude? So net “self-sufficient” but incapable of decoupling from the global oil trade and has to pay whatever spot is like everyone else

Is this good for the helicopter?

Treating communism as an outside contex problem akin to aliens is hilarious

Super similar because the researchers spent the whole time telling them they should act like heinous pigs

The problem with a respberry pi (especially at this price point) is that everything you can do with them you can do easier and better with the shitty old laptop you already have sitting in a drawer collecting dust.

Built-in UPS, already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, (not as much of a problem now but) x86, storage

Not news

Yeah I guess I disagree less about the idea that they’re building a data center under the White House and more that it’s significant if they are

Yeah I don’t really find tech companies bribing Trump to be evidence of a secret scheme because there’s already the established history of him taking bribes for all kinds of shit. Like that Qatari plane. And if it was a secret data center why would they be paying for it rather than being paid to build it?

Also plopping it underneath the White House seems like the worst way to keep it a secret and the justification that putting it there is necessary to maintain executive control seems very naive. If it was built on a military base or some random federal land out west and run by the NSA it would be way more secretive and we’re kidding ourselves if we think either org would put up any resistance to doing whatever the president wants. And by that logic it would be resigning to handing it over to the Democrats at some point in the future? If it’s a complete secret in the middle of nowhere maybe the deep state hides it for you lol

A zero dark 30 operation to put underwear and mop heads in the toilets and lint in the dryers
