@BjorkBrodern @edzitron Also, build out of data centers without upgrading / maintaining the electric grid at the same time is asking for a disaster

@BjorkBrodern To be frank data centers are both needed and a scam. @edzitron talks a lot about the second part. It's a vehicle for investors to get more money out of ai hype

I don't think Data centers are half as bad for the environment or the community as those against them claim they are but I also see no use for them. I get that we're in some kind of AI arms race against China but it's not clear to me what we get if we win. I honestly believe that if we had lost the smartphone race and China were the only country with smartphones and social media and the rest of the world were stuck in 2010 technology we would be better of with better mental health records and higher TFR.

@boneGPT @Samhain948689 I just block everyone involved with this new media shit. Unsurprisingly, I had him blocked already

@Samhain948689 they were just giving lessons on how to write bangers at the a16z new media summit

this is a slop account

@Icalbert101 Yeah, I like color a lot. Just the idea of salt, water and maintenance makes me shiver

@powoli_ It’s a really pretty green

Buy a boat! Explore the high seas! Due to the green plague!

Exploring Polish real estate, this one is rather spacious, but $200k may be a little steep…

@powerbottomdad1 Thry should do it Norway way. Stop using gas and oil, and get rich by selling gas and oil.

it's so funny that a common climate policy is NOT to stop using oil or gas, but simply to have someone else produce and get rich off it. 0 emissions saved lol

@Ekaeoq Have you seen "entry level Picasso" post?

Rolex has and still is executing everything from their watches, brand, marketing and due diligence to the highest possible level. They were hardly ever the first to innovate, never the first dive watch, never the mountaineering watch (remember the Everest-Explorer-Watch-Bullshit), but their game is ON POINT. Even today, with their ambassadors, the AD games, everything Rolex does, just feeds people with desire, it's almost unbelievable... the shame rituals rich people are willing to entertain. As for the rotor part, Rolex had a strong enough patent on the full-rotor automatic that other brands had to engineer around it. They were, and still are insanely good at packaging, patenting, proving it publicly, and then marketing it until people remembered Rolex as the watch / the originator of everything. I can't even be mad about it, to be this consistently good to your brand for this many decades/centuries is just incredible.

@bjorkingmypean @michalpazur @gmoult Yeah, it's clear that English lacks word for przyjaciel. Friend is kolega

@michalpazur @gmoult kolega?

I asked my polish teacher how many friends you can have in life and she said “two to three, if you’re lucky”

@helscom Why not a soup?

i put coins on their eyes, and a deer came to observe the funeral while a black bird sang a funeral tune. rest in peace girls. there are many worms in the ground.

@visakanv @quasimondo Tried to search for some couldn't find it. But I remember some like "ai did this child drawing". It feels like a run of a mill troll job to me, but I'm outside of ingroup. Seems to mean a lot for AI art crowd. Why would you like to reference it in future?

@powoli_ @quasimondo what's a better previous one?

@visakanv @quasimondo Why this one, and not the previous ones? This felt unoriginal and obvious.

@quasimondo “The Monet stunt will fade from the timeline within the week” personally I expect to reference it years into the future, we’ll see

@47fucb4r8c69323 When I read him I feel smart and intelligent

Tyler Cowen isn't a genius. He's very good at marketing and has a lot of money behind him. In the mid 2010s he made one of the most ridiculous arguments imaginable: that 19th century culture was made by the rich. It's so abominably stupid that he was eviscerated by many prominent minds and really was made to look like a fool by Epicurean Dealmaker, who is clearly miles ahead of Cowen in intelligence and taste. But you won't read about this because moneyed interests aren't trying to promote sense, they're trying to promote bullshit. Don't trust me, look at Cowen's post, it is batshit insane and just plain idiotic: marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu… And for more of the controversy, read this: crookedtimber.org/2014/04/30/ine… Tyler Cowen is a doodoo head.

@Tri_Stanisaurus @Tyler_Plummer I'm build a house so I have most of wood working tools already. Looking at CNCs. I was thinking about metal lathe, or CNC mill - how you make metal pulls and accessories?

CNC router (get the tool changer it's worth it), dust collector (clear view has best deals), a REALLY nice chop saw, saw stop professional saw with the extended table, a bunch of 4x8 tables on heavy duty castors (two heights one hip and one lower for assembly), lamello cutter, domino jointer, bench router (can integrate into Xtra long chopsaw bench), a 50gal or bigger compressor, overhead hoses, overhead plugs, an hvlp sprayer and extra guns, trim router, sanders (battery are fine if adjustable speed otherwise go pneumatic) drill&impact combo, drawer runner and door hinge jigs, drill press, chisels, machine squares, 8'+ and a 4' straight ede, that should get you 90% of the way. Probably cost about the same as an ivy league degree. But you're guaranteed a job at your own company.

There aren’t any high end Household Fixture companies in the US… And only one high end Household appliance company which is Sub-Zero out of Wisconsin. There should be a new company that does high end metal fixturing and also appliances 😉

@Ekaeoq @onehappyfellow MSG is an acronym for "makes stuff good."

@Ekaeoq @onehappyfellow >looks under the hood >it's MSG

taste of my childhood

@boneGPT Getting the vibe that the "original" company is also an slop. Zoomer founders, eh

"Real competitors sharpen you. Copycats with $31.5M just embarrass the cap table. This isn't competition. It's nepotism with a term sheet." What does this AI slop even mean? Embarrass the cap table? It's not competition it's nepotism? What in the chatgpt is this?

@Tri_Stanisaurus @Tyler_Plummer What machines are most useful for millworks? Like if you run one man shop, what would be the first machines you buy

@Tyler_Plummer if you need high end millworks let me know, i own an arch fab company. Sometimes we'll do fixtures, most people cant stand paying over $10/pull so its rare.
