It's really hard to appreciate AI in any meaningful way when the trade-off was a 200% increase in disk drive prices and a 400% increase in memory prices.

I feel like every time I write a how-to on my blog, it's because something is catastrophically under-documented or has way too many quirks.

This one has both.

Remember when Nvidia sold GPUs that purposely crippled certain crypto operations so that they could be kept in stock for gamers?

That, but for AI, please.

[Nathan Osman @nathanosman_dev]

NO.

I'm getting random embedded iframes for pages on https://t.co/i238bWFwF6 — it appears to have been compromised?

Just discovered that Prime membership from one country doesn't work in other countries, giving Costco yet another advantage. 🙄

[Nathan Osman @nathanosman_dev]

Well that wasn't very impactful. 😅

[Nathan Osman @nathanosman_dev]

@jessejones ok, that was funny 😂

@MMatt14 Same, except only 12U for our place.

Also, available power via 15A wall outlets is an unfortunate limiting factor on what I can slot in. 😛

@graninas I instinctively use shift-enter whenever I want a line break in a text entry box because I'm so fearful of a premature form submission. 🙈

Tech companies are going to stop releasing products in the EU if they keep coming up with stupid ideas like this...

@ai_sly @SebAaltonen This *can* be a useful pattern if you're performing a set of operations in a block that you want to exit early. Everything in the loop body will run exactly once and a "break" will immediately jump to the end.

Not an endorsement of this snippet by any means though. 😅

Got some fantastic shots at the #AbbotsfordAirshow this afternoon. 😎

@CityNewsVAN @WillowbrookBC I drove by the scene heading eastbound very shortly after the accident, when paramedics were just arriving. Incredibly horrific wreckage. 😞 That stretch of highway badly needs an emergency lane for fire / EMS to get through.

We're advancing so rapidly as a civilization; let's see what we're working on next...

*checks notes*

......banning airplane contrails...

MAHA, we are one step closer to banning chemtrails and taking back our skies!

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is introducing a bill to ban chemtrails and shut down dangerous geoengineering programs.

The bill will make it a felony to release chemicals into the sky to alter weather, temperature, or sunlight.
