I do workouts with 3-600 jumps a session, occasionally. A million is a large number. It’s an effective way to elevate heart rate, but I’m not sure it’s the best approach for low risk entry to fitness routine. I’d advise starting with assisted press-ups, bodyweight squatting, and assisted pull-ups or rows (if you can find the equipment) and walking, increasing the intensity as your body adjusts. Jumping - and running - are higher impact and may not be the lowest risk option available to start a weight loss journey.

Amazon was stuffing GPUs into warehouses. Amazon. Jensen maxed out China, maxed out hyoerscalers and neoclouds, and then sold GPUs to startups Nvidia funded. And Nvidia was loaning (imaginary) money to everyone to make the sales happen.

GPU sales were used to justify datacentre buildout (see the demand) which would never have happened - but the GPUs (in any economy a depreciating asset as long as new versions are under development) were used to borrow money to buy the land and build the datacentres. Real estate, manufacturing, construction, engineering, legal, finance. It’s a huge part of the economy tied up in this. A small glimmer of hope - I think Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been using cash flow until very recently to pay for their mess. But they have all (I believe) issued bonds in the last year.

Nothing will happen, but people involved should rot in prison for the rest of their lives.

I have a CO2/VOC monitor (AirGradient). Nobody has adequate ventilation for cooking, and gas cookers make it a lot worse. My 1000m3/h fan makes a huge difference but not enough. The real fun is when I get the wok out. It lights up in lots of colours!

The Charlie range needs more attention.

I keep hearing about how it resulted in cascading failure and, really, the loss of email and calendaring shut down most companies - doesn’t matter if it’s self hosted or Gmail or EOL, you’re having an IT sick day if email stops.

The fact that so many companies rely on Exchange Online is the problem. Email is designed to be distributed and moderately resilient - it’s why spam is such a problem still. It’s not that all the eggs are in one basket, it’s that all the companies are sharing two eggs.

Also, stuffing all the copilot data into hidden exchange folders was a choice. I’m not convinced it’s a wrong one, it’s just an interesting one that has created a dependency. I don’t understand yet the reliance of Intune and Defender on Exchange yet.

“Reasoning” is more trouble than it’s worth. It does help sometimes with identifying why my prompt wasn’t great.

ATC computers and comms are old. Super old. They’re also critical systems. The effort that we put into security today is dwarfed by the effort they put into redundancy and resilience for critical systems back in the day. It was incredibly insecure, but it could work through a nuclear war.

One wire taking it down suggests that it’s new equipment or the redundancy has not been maintained. Or both.

Stock iOS. Computer is windows/macos. Server is proxmox/debian/ubuntu mix. Router opnsense.

For better fit for worse, I like to narrow my options. I don’t want to choose my GUI, with a million ways to configure it, etc. I do run a home server and that gives me an outlet for fucking around if the mood strikes.

Is (relatively blindly) relying on Canonical and GitHub etc. really an advantage over relying on Microsoft or Apple? Sure, open source can be reviewed but Heartbleed and other similar vulns suggest people aren’t catching things; even the Linux kernel is AI coded these days.

Work is totally different than *nix admin but it is still tech and I’m kind of burnt out on it. With that said, with the behaviour of USA lately I’ve become very aware of the centralisation of the internet and I’m working towards more selfhosting and less reliance on big tech. If proton fires their AI booster I’ll move my domain there quickly.

Plumbing ist quite simple at the residential level. But I also live in fear it is a case of Dunning-Kruger. Why else could they charge so much money?

25 years is a good run. They’re obligated to make them so they break down on weekends.

Read the Wikipedia article on sine and cosine and work backwards from there. At the high school level, the “elementary understanding” section is usually as far as they go. Understanding the math behind electricity is at an electrical engineering/university level and it’s going to be counterproductive to go down that rabbit hole when trying to learn fundamentals.

Pants that cinch tight around the waist and also are large enough to handle dat ass can be hard to find.

Yes, but no, because people don’t visit the sites- the slop has the answers.

This could be fantastic news but by the time the chip foundries are reassigned to ram and ssds and GPUs we can use, how many of us will have money to buy them as the economy crumbles?

It is. There’s no ad clicks because the AI answered the query. Plus it’s orders of magnitude more expensive to run the inference than a search result.

Can jensen’s wife argue his actions devalued the assets and claim more than 50%?

MS implied that some of their problems were load management.

Yep. I learned a lot from the guy for a while.

And quit/retired.

I saw him microwaving bearings and that got me into YouTube.

Haven’t seen his videos in ~6 years. The milling machine wasn’t my deal and then he went nuts. ToT is more my jam.
