the SMD rig that big microscope doesn't want you to know about

does this turn boys trans? not on it's own. but if you're also fatherless...

certainly teenagers aren't "choosing" to get into rock music any more than water chooses to flow downhill

male beauty is specific. "I'm lesbian except for my boyfriend" has no inverse. male attraction feels more wholesome, richer. when you let the dough ferment for a few days in the fridge

@liz_love_lace D/s submission carries ample power. maybe you wanna be abused for real? that is it's own kind of fun

I don't understand "BDSM scene negotiation". As a submissive, the last think I want is to have leverage that I convert into negotiating power for myself

@cutesuscat i feel lucky to have run into you in the bay !

I'm back in Ireland and it just feels so strange, as if I was here the whole time, that I just timeskipped a month, that being in SF for inkhaven was some weird dream I don't remember writing 60 posts? If i try, I can mostly remember writing each individual post, but its a blur

@deanwball it'd be cool if 'we' could just pay 'them' off since 'they' tend to be broke

The sheer tonnage of condescending replies I got re: solar made me realize that the solar and AI communities use the same politically obtuse arguments for their preferred infrastructure. No wonder the rest of the internet hates AI data centers so much. I really cannot emphasize to you enough how bad of an argument this is: “hey, ‘we’ should replace [a bunch of land that isn’t mine that sustains other peoples’ livelihoods and is deeply rooted in their identity], which is pointless and dumb anyway, with [my preferred thing]. That would make ‘us’ better off.” This is what created local opposition to renewables in so many cases. There was no positive story beyond the infrastructure being abstractly “good” for “us.” I used to track the politics of local renewables pretty closely. Beyond similar attitudes and talking points among the opposition, I even see some familiar names and groups. Indeed, a lot of these local data center bans and restrictions I see are also zoning restrictions on utility-scale solar and batteries. All these things have been infected: opaque, foreign, not for you, instead for “us.” I know some will reply that we should change laws to make NIMBYism harder to exercise institutionally. I support federal permitting reform and, what’s more, I would be a big supporter of metropolitan or regional-level planning as opposed to hyperlocal planning. But those aren’t the laws on the books, and even if permitting reform happens, it’s unlikely to stop the kinds of bans/moratoria on data centers and moratoria that are being enacted. You have to deal with the world as it is. I’m still not sure how bad NIMBYism will affect the AI infrastructure buildout. It seems right now as though it might end up being pretty bad. Unfortunately I have bad news: I am aware of no one who handles these politics well here on x dot com. This is an elite signaling platform for the most part, so that’s fine, but I don’t know anyone who handles the politics well IRL either. I am grateful, however, for all the patronizing replies about solar. You made me realize a connection—two case studies in political malpractice—that I hadn’t seen before.: The AI industry is making the same mistakes of the climate left. It was hard for me to see this, because I am “pro-AI” and definitely “pro data center,” whereas I always found myself weary of the climate left. But now I see clearly that the pro-AI community looks to many Americans like a rationalist imposition on their lives from the same opaque “we”—the purveyors of reason, the arbiters of truth, the ones you never meet but who come to your town and tell you that your way of life (corn ethanol growing, say) has been Deemed Obsolete (not “is obsolete in my opinion,” but, “Is Obsolete”)—who brought you the climate movement and so much else. Understand this is political analysis. I’m not trying so much to express my own views as to diagnose a problem in my own “movement” from the outside. Indeed, surveying some of my old work, I can see how it fits the critique I am making perfectly.

@silverarm0r couldn't sleep

it's all one struggle and we should join forces in finding the optimal nandralone dosage for mogging p*t bulls

when you have dogshit movie takes it hurts me personally in my small delicate body

@oldestasian it's common to get got by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27… when you first parallelize smth

You ever seen parallelism fail?

@neocartesian i see why compiler people would be into this stuff too

40yo lady told me to be careful with getting my dick cut off -- never know if I'll want children. said they did it to PoWs back in Africa (??) microaggression ig but i find it so charming simply can't be mad

@birdpathy funny that these three kinda rest on each other to remain true

Here are some obvious things: - Death is bad - Eating meat is bad - God doesn't exist What other obvious things are there? Please only post actually obvious things, not things which have a decent chance of being wrong

@EvilAda17875 @mishapathy you know you can always call me right

I actually just want to be Good. I just want to be Good and that's impossible.

@mishapathy but once you become Good it will some kinda way, right?

@lcmedium Good people probably have similar emotions and feelings to the rest of us.

@bashu_thanks @gptbrooke we yearn for venetian carnival

I am organising exactly one event at Vibecamp this year and it is Ghost Night. Finally, something for the anons amogus.

@transgendererer cool!

@lcmedium i like to see "pole-zero analysis" in there it makes me feel like i understand the world a little bit. i know about poles and zeros. (showed today that there are only 6 non-constant holomorphic maps C\{0,1}->C\{0,1} using poles and zeros...pretty cool...)
