19·14 hours agoHow does bluesky make money?
Scientists have estimated that the power requirements of data centers in North America increased from 2,688 megawatts at the end of 2022 to 5,341 megawatts at the end of 2023, partly driven by the demands of generative AI
5341 Megawatt = 5.341 Gigawatt
so a 2.6 GW increase, jeez that’s a fair amount
The US set a record by adding 50 GW of new solar capacity in 2024, with solar and storage making up 84% of new capacity.
Global renewable power capacity increased by 585 GW in a single year
noo the joke was he was supposed to reply
"you're welcome my dude"
thanks, you’re clearly a genius, these LLM providers should pay you a lot of money to implement this, you’d save them millions 🙄
Are you confusing LLM’s for a car?
tbf to the US they fund an absolute ton of things, eg. I didn’t realise they helped fund lets encrypt and now the CVE database either, I assume it’ll be a drip feed of things being cancelled slowly over time as they find them all
How would you filter it?
everything the US gov helps funds now has a question mark over whether it’ll still be here in 4 years…
1·2 days agoi only had a few thousands, thankful for tafe here in Australia
This I can’t relate to
Online, “You can see someone on a boat. You can see someone skydiving,” says Kara Perez, the financial educator behind the sustainable spending platform Bravely Go. “That leads to these questions of, ‘What am I doing wrong that I can’t afford that?’ Or, ‘You know what, I deserve that. Let me figure out a way to achieve that’ — which usually means, ‘Let me put that on my credit card.’” If you see that the whole world has flocked to Europe, you may not rush to book a ticket, but you may do something small to give yourself an immediate dopamine hit — DoorDashing yourself an Italian dinner, for example, or buying yourself a swimsuit for future Sicilian sunbathing.
if you’re ordering doordash or uber eats and having trouble with money i don’t know what to say
uber eats is the epitome of a waste of money
tbh I find these articles unrelatable
I’ve always followed things like

my mortgage is 1/6th of my monthly pay my next biggest spend is food because I am special needs XD and it drops off quite quick after that
With an EV with home solar charging, a battery and heat pump, I should pay off my mortgage in the next few years and after that I’ll quickly be getting close to barista fire
where’s the funny
So she and the rest of her squishy latte liberal cohort threw away a big chunk of LGBTQ support for what? What did Dems gain by embracing reactionary policy?
Why are you asking what the dems gained? You’re the one now worse off?
What did you gain by not voting for her?
I don’t get it, can you explain it more? I’m not talking about the voting system, I’m talking about the culture:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_of_two_evils_principle#In_modern_elections
In 2012, Huffington Post columnist Sanford Jay Rosen stated that refusal to vote for the lesser of two evils became common practice for left-leaning voters in the United States due to their overwhelming disapproval of the United States government’s support for the Vietnam War.[8] Rosen stated: “Beginning with the 1968 presidential election, I often have heard from liberals that they could not vote for the lesser of two evils. Some said they would not vote; some said they would vote for a third-party candidate. That mantra delivered us to Richard Nixon in 1972 until Watergate did him in. And it delivered us to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney in 2000 until they were termed out in 2009”.[8]
She can add it delivered Trump 2024 as well to that list
Australian doesn’t have first past the post voting! What are you talking about!
I don’t get it, how does this preclude having shit options to vote for?
Yes, it’s possible to have 2 shit candidates you know :P
In Australia we are frequently voting for the ‘least worst’ candidate, we have mandatory voting so very few of us have this idea in our head that we need to run out and enthusiastically support a candidate, we just vote for the one who we think will do the least damage, in Australia Kamala would have won easily
do you think aoc would have won as well?
i agree with you but the guy i was arguing with claimed that kamala strayed too far from left wing values and thats why she didn’t win
my claim is something more fundamental, she didn’t assure voters that she would do better on the economy than trump
imo even if she did turn around and become the biggest pro Palestinian, transgender, anarchist, radical communist out there she still wouldn’t have won because the biggest issue to people was the local economy not gaza
she probably should have just offered everyone a tax cut
edit: and that trump has pretty much no values or ideals, just donald is #1 and he’s gonna fix everything and everyone else is wrong or stupid
thank you mitch hedberg :P
