The community fact checking on his bullshit is 👨‍🍳 💋

Yeah, it’s pretty clear the regime is trying to provoke a response. They’re doing it domestically, too.

Lol

Lmao, even

And this right here, folks, is why those quisling fucks who folded and ended the shutdown need to burn. They hurt the poorest and most vulnerable people in the country for a political quid pro quo, and there is precisely zero fucking chance that the quid will actually yield a quo, because the fascists (very obviously) do not operate in good faith.

Gotta rizz ‘em with the ‘tism

Grandpa: I don’t have autism wtf are you talking about

Also Grandpa: I’ve meticulously organized my workshop and have a massive array of jars with lids fastened to the bottom side of my shelves; they are organized, in order, according to type, outer diameter, inner diameter, and finally, metallurgy.

MTBF is absolutely not six years if you’re running your H100 nodes at peak load and heat soaking the shit out of them. ML workloads are particularly hard on GPU RAM in particular, and sustained heat load on that particular component type on the board is known to degrade performance and integrity.

As to Meta’s (or MS, or OpenAI, or what have you) doc on MTBF: I don’t really trust them on that, because they’re a big player in the “AI” bubble, so of course they’d want to give the impression that the hardware they’re using in their data centers still have a bunch of useful life left. That’s a direct impact to their balance sheet. If they can misrepresent extremely expensive components that they have a shitload of as still being worth a lot, instead of being essentially being salvage/parts only, I would absolutely expect them to do that. Especially in the regulatory environment in which we now exist.

Tangentially: Belgium and Euroclear may find themselves subjected to rather obvious consequences if they persist in this - specifically, the rest of Europe may just decide take their money elsewhere and stop doing business with them altogether. And if that causes Euroclear to founder as a business… well, that’s no great loss.

Hungary has been doing their best impression of a satchel of Richards for years now - even before the active phase of the Ukraine War kicked off in 2022.

The problem is that the deprecation/obsolescence/lifetime cycles of GPUs are WAY more rapid than anyone in the “AI” circlejerk bubble is willing to admit. Aside from the generational upgrades that you tend to see in GPUs, which make older models far less valuable in terms of investment, server hardware simply cannot function at peak load indefinitely - and running GPUs at peak load constantly MASSIVELY shortens the MTBF.

TL;DR: the way GPUs are used in ML applications mean that they tend to cook themselves WAY quicker than the GPU you have in your gaming machine or console - as in, they often have a couple of years lifetime, max, and that failure rate is a bell curve.

I’m pretty sure that ship has sailed already

HO-tee HO-tee HO-tee-HO!

The momentum is building - keep it going, Europe. Make it a one-nation competition. Make it a joke. Make Israel the punchline.

And there we go. Knew they’d try it sooner or later.

Cool I guess we’re doing piracy now 🤦‍♂️

Thank you, senpai of the pool, your wisdom is matchless

I genuinely do not believe the situation to be recoverable - rewriting the constitution in this day and age, with the insanely partisan politics and fascistic idiocy on full display, juxtaposed with a corporatist, neoliberal “opposition party” that conducts zero meaningful opposition is frankly a non-starter.

And even if it was possible: I don’t want a constitution sponsored by Comcast and Exxon Mobil and Amazon and Meta and X and Palantir and so on. Which, I’m sure, is probably in the plan somewhere.

Well… yes and no. Judges can and do blatantly ignore law and impartiality. To wit: Judge Cannon, who successfully completely stymied any meaningful prosecution of orangeboi, in a series of legal decisions that were overtly partisan and biased.

Using traditional logic and precedent: no.

In the context of the brave new world we find ourselves in, in which the Tribunal of Six have given the president effective carte blanche to do pretty much anything so long as it’s “an official act” (where an “official act” is defined, as far as I can tell, by the president saying “this is an official act”): lots of things, including

• siccing one of the various spec ops teams from the DoDW or DoJ on them
• declaring open season on said person, including a bounty and guaranteed presidential pardon
• inviting them to a meeting and then shooting them in the face
• etc

Seriously, it’s anyone’s guess at this point. The bones of the system are crumbling, and many have already been shattered, likely irreversibly. The only thing holding this shitshow up at this point are load-bearing posters.
