  • Don’t forget the energy needed to produce the humans who:

    • Produced research leading to the creation of LLMs.
    • Figured out how to design the GPUs that AI run on.
    • Extracted the raw materials for the chips.
    • Processed the materials into products.
    • Transported the materials and products.
    • Installed the GPUs in datacenters.
    • Built the datacenters.
    • Operate the civil infrastructure providing power and water to the datacenters.
    • Planned and designed that civil infrastructure.
    • Congregated into a single area to create the town/city where that infrastructure was planned.
    • Birthed that population of people.
    • Etc.

    Hint: It’s the same cumulative energy that his own stupid argument is hinged on.






  • With conservatives—or rather, the people lacking morality and empathy who flock to the ideology—it’s always projection. They can’t imagine having the integrity to not do what they would do when given the opportunity so they cry foul.

    In their zero-sum way of thinking, it sets them up to be ahead of the scandal. They use it as “proof” to justify their DARVO statements and whataboutisms. Morality be damned, as long as the other side takes a bigger hit, they still feel like they win.





  • Well, that explains a lot about the product quality. Their entire development workflow is a complete fucking mess.

    • Long-lived feature branches.
    • Creating merge commits to main just for the sole purpose of tagging them as releases while also maintaining separate release branches.
    • Force-pushing tags to incorporate post-release hotfixes instead of releasing minor patch updates.
    • Taking bugfixes from releases and merging them back into the development branch (have they not heard of cherry-pick?)
    • Always using merges even when a rebase would be easier to follow and keep the history more straightforward.





  • I’m sure the official statement will read more like

    “Voters, they LOVE me. The approvals, my approval ratings, just tremendous. The BEST ratings anyone ever saw. So great they said to ME, “President Trump, we won’t do this anymore”. No more ratings. I FIXED ratings. Just like I fixed the ECONOMY and CRIME. Crooked Hillary could NEVER do that. Obama tried. He tried long and tried hard, I give him that. He COULDN’T do it. Only ME. Only I can fix it. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.”
