Fell like this is a long troll on Scotland.

GB: If you leave the UK you're out of the EU.

GB: Hey Scotland we're leaving the EU.

@thuddwhirr One thing I don’t like about Bernie is he is very clear that none of the polices he call for are possible. It feels dishonest.

@RobEducated @CapitalJurassic The delay is already in other components like generation.

Dram shortage is likely artificial and related to panic buying post the open ai deal.

@lauriewired Something like it it’s inevitable because the fewer pins on the package will be desirable.

Pooling has been a cloud fever dream, and I think the industry trend of moving mem closer to compute is likely to continue. So I don’t believe in it.

@minddog Running, split squats, dead lifts.

How far have you run on your shoes?

@mattyglesias I bought an electric car due to high gas prices, and they just drive better.

@minddog My policy was reinstated last week. Somehow the premium dropped. L

@minddog The paper is super clear it still required 50 million worth of NVIDIA GPUs to train(capex) and around 15 million for the inference setup. I’d still buy.

I found the deepseek r1 with 13b pretty ok. I’m going to try the 671b model tomorrow on a system at work.

@ScottAdamsSays I think insurance is broken everywhere.

things like why can’t I change my deductible to something higher. Wouldn’t having more skin in the game help control fraud?

The home value and rebuild costs are silly since it clearly inflates, but never increases.

@notdan I’m floppies were actually floppy years old.

@growing_daniel Post the 1907 earth quake a separate system was built to use sea water to fight fires in downtown San Francisco.

In 1989 they used a fire boat to pump water into the system, and discovered a host of issues since maintenance had been deferred. Ultimately it helped them.

@Sr_Lazarus I’m pro prop k, but I understand the issue with great highway closing you’re effectively loosing 1 of 3 streets you can use to efficiently get across the avenues. 1 of 2 that gets you directly across gg park.

The things north of gg park are hard to get to, this makes it worse.

@progrium I love the window manager.

@pitdesi One change the department put in was all officers needed to fill out a survey that asked the race, sexual orientation, and gender of the ticketed party. Officers stopped pulling people over because the survey results could get them in trouble.

@hsrgood Also who thinks a train traveling 30-50 mph can stop on a dime. Don’t they realize that faster would be down for way longer?

[Geoffrey Papilion @gpapilion]

@EvanKail We built our rail for freight and we built it early. It’s consolidated in a few companies that focus on freight. Even a commuter line like Caltrain runs on freight on its tracks

And no one is handing out land for passenger traffic, so no one is building new rail.

[Geoffrey Papilion @gpapilion]

@dotkrueger The thread here is we stopped being direct consumers of these things. We finance or lease cars, we use loans to pay for school, and we use insurance as a health plan.

Additionally, this discounts the improvements in the things you’re mentioning.

[Geoffrey Papilion @gpapilion]

@Cernovich Most likely this person is in the us already. Went to a US university, and maybe has a family with US born children.

Also as others have pointed out this position is likely 400-500k yearly.

These positions are hard to hire because it was a niche position 2 years ago.

@Nexuist I don’t know why this would be shocking to him. FSB is Russia’s deep state, and I’m sure Putin is aware of it.

[Geoffrey Papilion @gpapilion]

@mattyglesias Is the murder and shooting combined stats the same in both places? Could it be the murder rate is higher because the medical care is worse?
