I asked Dr. Sbaitso why it committed malpractice.

The opening scene of Cool Hand Luke, but it's those stupid flock cameras.

Why do I hear Clint Mansell?

This is so revealing, you have no idea.
Your social media posts are probably measurable in megabytes? The Opus model itself is on the scale of terabytes.

Go to their official website and look at the pages under the "Plan Your Visit" menu.

Try long-pressing on the VCR (or however it works on iPhone) to get it to expose for the dark part of the scene. Then if it's too bright, adjust the photo's exposure after.

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work!

I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. πŸ₯°πŸ––

Also, as a fun thought experiment, look up what a BFLOAT16 is and what would result from a high energy particle tickling one.

I think the fixation on thermal management comes from the conflicting requirements of LLM compute and space hardware.
LLM compute is by nature power hungry, hot, and inefficient. Whereas the people who make space hardware bend over backwards to optimize every corner of software and hardware.

The ISS can support ~70kW of color TDP total. The GPUs needed for these data centers are reaching 1kW of TDP each. A small data center is already reaching 100s to 1000s of GPUs. The flagship sites are nearing half a million. That's a starlink constellation worth of ISSes.

Just getting V2X implemented, standardized, and easily installable would be really neat. (At least as easily as a normal grid-islanding inverter)

They even made it girthier.
I can't.

If you want to know where your electricity is coming from @gridstatus.io has a great page showing every national grid's "Fuel Mix"
California is currently 64% solar.

I honestly thought the thread was an elaborate analogy until the videos were posted.

I've had good success using grade 3 paper (not multigrade) and the right color filters to remove the orange cast.

Every minute this guy spends reassuring people outside California (gee, I wonder why that is) that he's a centrist, really, Is a minute California doesn't have a governor.

We're sick of it too.

These have always perplexed me. While a lot of people have a PO box tied to their license, a lot of people don't! This is like having your home address on your car. "Hey, guess what house is currently unoccupied" among other concerns.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.
