The sad thing is those GPUs are in specialized boards with specialized servers and cooling, and not really good at the kind of work consumers would want it for, assuming you could even get drivers. So most all of those GPUs will realistically get scrapped if the bubble pops.

Maybe we’ll see the EPYC CPUs get sold secondhand at least, those are socketed.

Kagi uses Bing as its primary search index AFAIK, so no Google search API there.

That said, it does run entirely on Google Cloud Services, which I personally find ironic.

I think we’ve tapped most of the mileage we can get from the current science, the AI bros conveniently forget there have been multiple AI winters, I suspect we’ll see at least one more before “AGI” (if we ever get there).

If you feel you are not properly sedated, call 348-844 immediately. Failure to do so may result in prosecution for criminal drug evasion.

I agree with this viscerally.

A lot of people are expressing sympathy for the people in the Kirk crowd, but honestly I think it might be a good thing for them — to see first hand what Kirk and the Republican rhetoric is actually advocating for. Maybe it’ll snap them out of the fantasies they have of culling “undesirables”.

…Which is basically how the OP’s or function also works, it takes several Option<T>s and returns the first valid one (and only that one), it doesn’t operate on boolean logic types — it’s a valid lexical use of or.

It’s an understandable interpretation for the lexical use of or which can imply exclusive disjunction.

In Rust the result type has the method .or() which returns either Ok(A) or Ok(B) (but not both), and I don’t see clambering to change it to xor, because the exclusive nature is implicit both linguistically and in the type state.

It’s fine, modern CPUs boost until they either hit amperage, voltage, or thermal constraints, assuming the motherboard isn’t behaving badly then the upper limits for all of those are safe to be at perpetually.

Literal vampire shit lmao.

Imagine how much more they could’ve just paid employees.

In this guy’s specific case, it may be financially feasible to back up onto other cloud solutions, for the reasons you stated.

However public cloud is used for a ton of different things. If you have 4TiB of data in Glacier, you will be paying through the absolute nose pulling that data down into another cloud; highway robbery prices.

Further as soon as you talk about something more than just code (say: UGC, assets, databases) the amount of data needing to be “egressed” from the cloud balloons, as does the price.

It really depends, pulling hundreds of GiB out of AWS for backing up on say GCS is going to add up extremely quickly. The cloud companies make it intentionally painful to leave or interop.

In my experience these “containment” boards/servers/sections tend not to work.

Long term it basically just creates a place that attracts those you don’t want, and becomes place for those ideologies to spread. Then it either gets bad enough they take over (you know the site) or they break off wholesale and form a new community dedicated to those worst impulses (pyrrhic victory at best).

The best policy is to actively moderate, and in the case of the fediverse, defederate, those groups and those that give them shelter.
