@saranormous Great piece. Let's hope that we all have the courage to be honest with ourselves and demand others do the same so that "bullshitting" ourselves and others goes away and isn't amplified greatly by AI/LLMS. Seek truth no matter how much it hurts instead of the ecstacy of delusion.

@RotaryBloke @OskaArcher I'm the one that posted all of the information. reuters.com/legal/litigati… This is current. There is no way in hell that it's cheaper from any energy perspective to filter the ocean for uranium than via the ocean than it is to mine it from a uranium mine

@_____Lightning @OskaArcher Source? Date? The top report referred to recent progress. Lightning's data could be somewhat out of date.

Uranium collection from the ocean is hot again. Re-upping earlier thoughts in reply.

@Brady_H Happy birthday!

I turned 33 yesterday. 🎂 I don't get on social media on Sundays, so you can wish me a HBD today instead.

@Brady_H Does it rub?

This is hands down the single best piece of running gear I own. Naked Belt Fits a phone, gels, even a small-ish water bottle and feels like you’re wearing nothing at all.

@RockyLotito @AlecMacGillis ?

@_____Lightning @AlecMacGillis Spoken like a person who once lost everything to become a Twitch streamer

This is pretty bleak.

@SueSebKos @TommyIgoe @MarcoFoster_ @ErinBrockovich @grok @grok does that statement make sense or is vast majority of that water lost to a process called evapotranspiration?

@_____Lightning @TommyIgoe @MarcoFoster_ @ErinBrockovich @grok Isn’t it true that the water used by golf courses returns to the Earth and can therefore be recycled, while the water for data centers evaporates, leaving the system drained?

Erin Brockovich on data centers: “You’re pushing people too far at this point. You’re taking their water. Their air is jeopardized. Their land is jeopardized. Their sanctuary is jeopardized. Their wildlife is jeopardized. The trees, the rivers, the creeks, the birds, all of it”

@willsolfiac Even the homeless use it. They have their pix number on cardboard sign in sao paulo

I had no idea that Brazil has its own central bank-created payments system, used by over 80% of the population, where merchants pay 0.33% per transaction, compared to 1%-4% for Visa / Mastercard / Amex. If a government can save its businesses a few percent per transaction, and keep the fees in-country, why wouldn't they do it?

Great piece. Let's hope that we all have the courage to be honest with ourselves and demand others do the same so that "bullshitting" ourselves and others goes away and isn't amplified greatly by AI/LLMS. Seek truth no matter how much it hurts instead of the ecstacy of delusion.

I've noticed this too. I'm starting to have trouble understanding and articulating what AI generates

@codetopeople @benln How is it toxic advice?

@benln This is terrible and such toxic advise. The only thing that should matter is whether you have the skills + experience. Why are we assessing candidates based on a profile banner?

Tip: never use the green Open to Work banner on LinkedIn Negative signal for hiring managers and recruiters

@AdrienneRoyer @conorsen Where at?

You can watch the Odyssey in IMAX 70MM at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga but nowhere in the states of Massachusetts, Washington, or Oregon.

"If you don't ask the right questions, you don't get the right answers." - Edward R. Murrow I think what it shows is there is a lot of nuance to the argument. Depending on the method of cooling and where they are developed, she can be right. It also shows that painting everything with a broad brush is incredibly dangerous and advising for a moratorium of developing data centers across the country is dangerous.(That's currently happening) It's the equivalent to when the United States caught the anti-nuclear power disease in the 70s and 80s decided to halt the development of nuclear power. I fear it may have multi generational effects and will put the country at a disadvantage in its quest to meet the needs of the future demands of compute.

@_____Lightning @MarcoFoster_ @ErinBrockovich @grok It's interesting how many flips and turns you're taking when the initial query you made proved you to be wrong and her to be right.

@seema_amble is that a bad thing? Should they not be polite or you took it as a form of agism and or disrespect? What would be the equivalent for a man?

nothing humbles you like a twenty-something calling you “ma’am”

@rsalakhu This sort of misses the point though. He couldn’t *start a startup * in the US as a foreign resident for no good reason. He spoke about this publicly. There’s no reason for this to be the case and the Trump Admin made it even harder for exceptions to ever happen.

@staysaasy What would you do differently now?

Hiring based on credentials is the most idiotic thing people do. My worst hires of all time had big companies and big titles on their resume and I let that sway my decision.

@PathOfMen_ 2-10 hrs of work? What? @grok What is this person talking about?

It's crazy how most "life problems" are just 2-10 hours of actual work you keep avoiding. that's it
