I teach computers to explore and learn at MSR-NYC. Once upon a time, I built Cortana; I still stink at Halo. Not PR - not paid to Tweet - so opinions all mine.

The hysteria over data centers is similar to the hysteria over nuclear power in the 70s and 80s. Our idiot politicians listened to morons who didn't understand that nuclear power is safe and clean. Now our power grids are aging and falling apart.
More data centers. Full speed.

“wE dOn’T wAnT dAtA cEnTeRs!” 🤡 Guys, you can’t uninvent something. AI is here. It isn’t going away. If we don’t lead the world in AI, another country will. What does America look like when China or Iran or any other country supersedes us, and their tech runs circles around ours? People who want to slow down AI believe they’re doing good, but they aren’t. You think you’re saving jobs or keeping energy costs down or whatever altruistic ideas you have that motivate you. They are all wrong. In reality, they’re just shifting the power balance to countries that will never play by your rules and giving them the upper hand. We must lead the world on this. It’s non-negotiable.

@Geiger_Capital He also writes about economics, which is even more unforgivable under that context

Absolutely incredible…

A reminder that "The Japan Times" is a newspaper overrun by leftists who hate Japan.
They're trying to really hard to push "friendly relations" with the Chinese Communist Party.
It won't work and we won't be tricked.
The Japan Times@japantimes
"Chinamaxxing," Japan-style? Nope. These social media standouts say what they do is deeper than a trend — and increasingly necessary amid bilateral tensions. 👉 ebx.sh/8iE5Vd

this is not how energy and heat work
what is it about data centers that makes people phenomenally stupid about heat???
Joel Montfort@jmontforttx
The massive Utah data center, called the Stratos Project, will be as big as 2,000 Walmarts, will need 9GW of electricity to run, and will generate the heat equivalent of 23 atom bombs detonating every single day in Hansel Valley. The expected impact of wildlife is catastrophic. sltrib.com/news/environme…

@mizanyx @DomTechnostate Supremely underrated commentary on the human condition

@DomTechnostate Raise a whole generation of artsy girls devoted to fuck the brains out of Marxist engineers and scientists.
Right now the reproductive organs of the new generations of girls are too aligned with the material interests of what you call "late stage capitalism".
English
We must create a situation where Marxism is more associated with engineers and scientists than it is with Youtubers and twitch streamers

@TrisH0x2A That genuinely has not been my experience.
Could you expand a bit on this? Did you find that there are specific common failure cases that people should watch for or is it just stochastic? (And do you have a sense of the propensity?)

@ChrisMartzWX I suspect we need to wind down a lot of things first for such a move to be viable.

No you wouldn’t.
The 16th Amendment says that Congress has the authority to levy a federal income tax. It does not 𝑟𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑟𝑒 Congress to levy one, and it also does not specify income tax rate(s) or brackets. Those were set by statutory law in the tax code.
Congress could pass a tax bill changing the rate tables in the tax code so that all brackets are 0%. That would require:
• A simple majority in the House of Representatives
• A simple majority in the Senate if it were to pass the budget reconciliation process. Otherwise, it would need 60 votes.
Repealing the 16th Amendment would be ideal, but that’s extremely difficult to do. Setting the income tax rate to a flat ZERO would be far easier and doable if the GOP wasn’t filled with spineless cowards.

@ChrisMartzWX Actually you would need to reverse the 16th Amendment.

@DastDn This was done to them, by design, as a means of producing revolutionaries.
To some extent, some of them are abuse victims in this. They went on to abuse more people in the same way, but such is the cycle of (Jacobin) abuse.

So much of the modern Democratic party's disfunction can be traced to the fact that they keep confusing American and French revolutions.

Clean water? Capitalists
Five day work week? Initiated by a capitalist.
Child labor laws? Picking up on trends set by capitalists.
Right to vote? By protesters who still understood that their right to protest did not supersede my right to drive to work. Enjoy a piece of art. Or Listen to a speaker at a university.

@BattlingBud @MarkRPellegrino @HistoryBoomer That you can use the same directional terminology to mean the same things, even if absolute coordinates (e.g. means/boundaries of "The Center", "The Left", "The Right") are not, is evidence.
English
@BattlingBud @MarkRPellegrino @HistoryBoomer No, the center of the Overton Window is not the same in Europe as it is in North America and South America. You can easily choose a basis that allows you to compare the two, because they share the same structure.

Elon is trolling about the guilt-by-association, but, like many, he seems to believe the "Hitler was a socialist" nonsense.
Hitler was a socialist the way the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic.
People getting history wrong always pisses me off.

Trying to create a one-size-fits-all solution will simply reduce the number of configurations that are allowed, irrespective of how viable they are.

Moreover, it ignores differences between households. A single young adult has different financial constraints than a parent of four. Then, the Many States are intended to allow experimentation without "all-eggs-in-one-basket", this leads to extra intra-regional variance in prices
English
This is a misunderstanding not of jobs but of the minimal wage. Minimal Wage is a societal agreement that we will not create jobs unless they pay at least X amount per hour.
But that includes all possible jobs, not just those for the primary income(s) of a household.

People are really out there arguing that you shouldn't be able to pay rent and support yourself on a minimum wage job lol. Okay, then what exactly are jobs for?

@BattlingBud @MarkRPellegrino @HistoryBoomer That's what's so ludicrous about trying to map the conflict between the various Collectivisms onto the Left-Right arena: Both sides are firmly, and far, too, on the Left.
English
@BattlingBud @MarkRPellegrino @HistoryBoomer So yes, I'll agree with you that Marxism has won the intra-socialist wars. Nonetheless, Fascism is intellectually descended from Socialism/Syndicalism/Trade-Unionism, primarily the non-Marxism forms.
Modern socialism is an amalgam of all of those.
