  • MAGA’s Premier Conspiracy Theorist Becomes the Target of One

  • I also have not read such dumps. I think the LLM was too verbose…

    QAnon Drop - April 29, 2025

    Greetings, Patriots!

    The storm is upon us. The Deep State is scrambling, and the truth is finally coming to light. Hold onto your tinfoil hats because this one is a doozy.

    1. The Vatican Conclave Conspiracy:

    You thought the papal conclave starting on May 7 was just about electing a new pope? Think again! The Vatican is a hotbed of secret societies and hidden agendas. Keep your eyes peeled for any unusual smoke signals—they might be Morse code for the next phase of the globalist takeover.

    2. The Coral Reef Crisis:

    The International Coral Reef Initiative reports that over 84% of the world's coral reefs are affected by bleaching. But what they aren't telling you is that this is all part of a plan to create underwater bases for the elite. Why else would they be so interested in coral? It's not just about the environment, folks.

    3. The Tariff Tit-for-Tat:

    China's 34% reciprocal tariff on American goods is just a distraction. The real action is happening behind the scenes, where global powers are playing a high-stakes game of economic chess. Expect more "coincidental" trade wars as the cabal tries to maintain control.

    4. The Flower Show Facade:

    The Flower Show in NYC from April 27 to May 11 might seem like a celebration of nature, but it's actually a cover for clandestine meetings. Those "flowers" are just code names for powerful figures. Ever wondered why they need so many "volunteers"? It's all about the optics, patriots.

    5. The Stagecoach Festival Fiasco:

    Think the Stagecoach Festival from April 25–27 is just about music? Wrong! It's a gathering of the elite, disguised as a country music extravaganza. Keep an eye out for any "special guests" who might be pulling the strings from behind the scenes.

    Stay vigilant, patriots. The truth is out there, and it's up to us to expose it. Trust the plan. The Great Awakening is near.

  • Generally true and that’s why I often read these articles scratching my head. Make them closed loop! They almost always use chillers…

    Water use becomes a concern if the water is moved too far and/or too fast like your Sahara example.

  • I see your point but the correct answer is to install current branch. If you want pain and suffering, skip the appetizer and go straight to Linux.

  • Simply, because Microsoft says so. The amount of “omg micro$oft is such garbage” more professional versions of that that can be attributed to not RTFM is fairly significant. It’s interesting how much effort people will put in to making a OSS project work, and give up fairly quickly in Windows land. Merely an observation; all respect to those who daily drive on Linux (and to be fair it’s been quite a few years since I tried).

    More specifically, you can run into driver and software issues both inside and outside of the Microsoft space. The “Feature Updates” that are put out do include a fair bit under the hood sometimes and you miss that. Less likely in the personal use space, but quite significant in the business space. When the IT curmudgeon deploys LTSC across 1500 devices and 2 years later needs to implement a newer capability, it’s a hell of a lot of work.

    Your use case is realistically the intended use case, outside of industrial equipment/embedded systems. You’re using WINE for most stuff and poke your head into Windows occasionally.

  • LTSC is supported, yes, but it’s an edge case not intended for desktop (or most server) applications.

    If you don’t want to move to 11, install a flavour of Linux. Don’t run LTSC.

  • Help setting up fail2ban for jellyfin both in separate docker containers?

  • Thanks for sharing; I was unaware. Just closed off that network hole.

  • Do you use your turn signal in a turn-only lane? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • If there’s a hint of ambiguity about the layout of the road or my intentions, I signal. It can me 3 am and I’m the only person on the road. It’s right the thing to do.

  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?

    Jump

  • Entirely agree with that. Except to add that so is Dario Amodei.

    I think it’s got potential, but the cost and the accuracy are two pieces that need to be addressed. DeepSeek is headed in the right direction, only because they didn’t have the insane dollars that Microsoft and Google throw at OpenAI and Anthropic respectively.

    Even with massive efficiency gains, though, the hardware market is going to do well if we’re all running local models!

  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?

    Jump

  • No, that’s the thing. There’s still significant expenditure to simply respond to a query. It’s not like Facebook where it costs $1 million to build it and $0.10/month for every additional user. It’s $1billion to build and $1 per query. There’s no recouping the cost at scale like previous tech innovation. The more use it gets, the more it costs to run, in a straight line, not asymptotically.

  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?

    Jump

  • AI is a commodity but the big players are losing money for every query sent. Even at the $200/month subscription level.

    Tech valuations are based on scaling. ARPU grows with every user added. It costs the same to serve 10 users vs 100 users, etc. ChatGPT, Gemini, copilot, Claude all cost more the more they’re used. That’s the bubble.

  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?

    Jump

  • Theres openAI, google and meta (american), mistral (French), alibaba and deepseek (china). Many more smaller companies that either make their own models or further finetune specialized models from the big ones

    Which ones are not actively spending an amount of money that scales directly with the number of users?

    I’m talking about the general-purpose LLM AI bubble , wherein people are expected to return tremendous productivity improvements by using a LLM, thus justifying the obscene investment. Not ML as a whole. There’s a lot there, such as the work your colleagues are doing.

    But it’s being treated as the equivalent of electricity, and it is not.

  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?

  • ChatGPT loses money on every query their premium subscribers submit. They lose money when people use copilot, which they resell to Microsoft. And it’s not like they’re going to make it up on volume - heavy users are significantly more costly.

    This isn’t unique to ChatGPT.

    Yes, it has its uses; no, it cannot continue in the way it has so far. Is it worth more than $200/month to you? Microsoft is tearing up datacenter deals. I don’t know what the future is, but this ain’t it.

    ETA I think that management gets the most benefit, by far, and that’s why there’s so much talk about it. I recently needed to lead a meeting and spent some time building the deck with a LLM; took me 20 min to do something otherwise would have taken over an hour. When that is your job alongside responding to emails, it’s easy to see the draw. Of course, many of these people are in Bullshit Jobs.

  • I guess you didn’t see the several points in the article where they make it clear that it is “opt in”?

    I do look forward for the bursting of the LLM bubble, but the article isn’t just about LLM.

  • Ben Thompson has been saying that they need to collect user data (like google) for a decade.

    It seems the botched Apple Intelligence release changed some minds, a little bit.

  • What are the most comfortable women's shoes for hospital staff who stand a lot?

    Jump

  • I personally hate crocs, but I don’t work in healthcare. I have a friend who loves them.

    There’s a specific workplace line for things like healthcare. Probably can’t autoclave them but you can use a liquid disinfectant.

    You do want to avoid most running shoes. Narrow toe boxes, upturned toes, too much heel, and too much foam are all bad for your feet.

  • I dated my partner in high school and through university. We went to schools in different countries. They got a job in a different country before I finished. We’re still together.

    There’s a huge benefit to being separate and together at the same time. You get to individually experience things and grow as a human, while also sharing the experiences with and of the other half of the relationship. Growing up together as adults can really strengthen your relationship.

    I know him

    he’s shy and introverted

    I’ve watched over him

    I’ve helped him find a group of friends

    You are smothering him. You’re not his mom; you’re not his brother.

    People need to figure things out for themselves. Universities have strong support structures available to help undergrads through this difficult transition. Go to university. Gain life experiences.

  • This makes sense. Give the companies like Apple and nvidia time to set up some local factories. How long could it take to acquire land, set up a chip foundry, and train up staff? 90 days?
