Who sees the party as left wing? Its seems like a disingenuous argument to make.

What is that quote from?

I’ve know people that took a very long time to beat Lyme, through multiple rounds of antibiotics. Avoidance is very much the best path.

Not going to downvote you, but you missed the point of Roy Batty and his speech. Roy’s mind was indistinguishable from humans, and that’s why he was feared by humans and was given an artificially short lifespan. And the quote you referenced proves his humanity.

I don't think so. Look at these numbers:

  | Year | Capacity (GW) | Construction Spending |
  | 2015 | 0.2 – 0.3 GW  | $1.8 Billion |
  | 2016 | 0.3 – 0.4 GW  | $2.2 Billion |
  | 2017 | 0.4 – 0.5 GW  | $3.1 Billion |
  | 2018 | 0.5 – 0.6 GW  | $4.5 Billion |
  | 2019 | 0.6 – 0.7 GW  | $6.2 Billion |
  | 2020 | 0.8 – 1.0 GW  | $8.0 Billion |
  | 2021 | 1.2 – 1.5 GW  | $10.0 Billion |
  | 2022 | 2.0 – 2.5 GW  | $15.0 Billion |
  | 2023 | 3.5 – 4.0 GW  | $20.0 Billion |
  | 2024 | 6.4 GW        | $35.0 Billion |
  | 2025 | 8.5 GW        | $46.0 Billion |
  | 2026 | 13.6 GW       | $50.7 Billion |

2026 figures represent full-year capacity projections and annualized construction spending rates.

There is absolutely no way that increase was planned due to precisely planned for capacity. It's speculation.

What the comments fail to point out (and I haven't read the article to find out if they address it): the number of data centers being built is based on speculation of need and is a dramatic over-estimate. It has to be. What, other than AI has happened in the last few years that would warrant that many new data centers? How do they know there will be customers for that capacity? There will not be advances in algorithms, etc that do AI much more efficiently? (We know China is making strides in that!)

It's complete speculation! It's the new gold rush and everyone wants a data center. Most of these data centers might not even be built! And the ones that are, might never make any profit.

Construction jobs, yes. After that, a skeleton crew and a bunch of people in far off places, possibly outside the country.

Thought of the same, has a big Sun Microsystems vibe.

How about audio from pottery? That’s like magic.

And feral pigs… is that a problem in the EU? It’s apparently a huge and growing problem in the USA.

The Pitt come to life.

AI hallucination? If definitely has that feel.

I started with gosmacs then switched to gnu emacs in 1985ish. So about 40 years. The renaissance of emacs development in the last decade has been very nice to see.

I don’t think you understand how supply chains work.

Krugman sure is a good, probably even great, writer. His prose is almost effortless to consume. On the content, very interesting.

I think we can all agree that information should be behind a -v CLA. It's probably just something no one has thought of doing. I've learned over the decades to just ignore it.

Care to share?

I agree, people don’t change, the circumstances change to expose their true self.

Of course it does. It’s still a measurement though against other super rich.

I sent Colin Furze a note and got back a nice reply. The dude has an insane number of followers, so it was surprising I got a reply.

A ploy to waste resources of neighboring countries? Distract from something else? Theories?

Just want to thank you, Mike. I love Homebrew and wouldn't know what to do without it. My company sponsor's the project on github and I recommend that everyone consider helping out.

I was talking with a neighbor once, and we had just started feeding the local crows. We were standing there for about 39 minutes, the I heard something metallic hit the sidewalk. I looked about 4 ft away, directly under the power lines, at a bottle cap. I hadn’t seen one of those in decades. Clearly it had been dropped by the crow perched up there.

Then, once we noticed a weird nut near the bowl of peanuts. Not sure what type it was, a buckeye I think.

Oddly, we’ve been feeding them for 6 years now and no other gifts!

We have two types jays that visit us. Scrub and Stellar. They come into the kitchen (door off the deck) to stand and sort through the bowl of peanuts in the shell. It’s hilarious to watch them go through them, finding the heaviest (?) ones, tossing the rejects to and fro. They’re completely unafraid of us. They are a great joy to watch.

Clickbait is a thing and pisses people off.

While I'm grateful for all Andrew has done to create and maintain rsync, I rely heavily on it for backing up files between machines on my home network, so I've spent the time to figure out how to pin the Homebrew version of rsync to 3.4.1 because the bugs in the subsequent two versions really scare me (as does the original report that triggered all this).

Here is the process I used to do it, which was way more complex than I thought it would be:

Took my son there when he was young (6?) and we all loved it. What a great day trip.

Some were forced out, sure, but enough could have voted to prevent this shitshow.
