Amateurs! They should’ve charged $4000 and handed you some terrible “medical food” on the way out.

You’re supposed to use a lighter

It’s like everything else conservatives think they want: “We want illegal immigrants out of the country! But we’re not willing to fund more immigration courts/judges. Let those court cases back up forever so they can stay here indefinitely! Oh wait…”

Conservative: “Tesla chose Texas for their new whatever, yeeeee fuckin’ haw yo! That’s a lot of money that will come into the state!”

Bystander: “But don’t they have to settle that case with the EPA before they can proceed? I mean, they totally fucked that river and will have to pay for cleanup.” (note: this is hypothetical river fucking)

Conservative (and Libertarians, oddly): “Yeah yeah whatever. That’s why we have the courts!”

Bystander: “Except that court case won’t be heard for years because the courts are backed up. Apparently there’s not enough money in the Federal budget this year to pay for more judges, courthouses, and lawyers to handle cases like that”

Conservative: “Then they need to increase taxes! Oh wait…”

Congratulations conservatives! With this ruling, you just drastically increased the size of the Federal government.

Simple administrative rulings are gone so now we’re going to end up with five zillion more expensive lawyers, a lot more judges, and a gazillion more cases before the courts.

It’ll also increase the cost of doing business! Because now instead of just having to occasionally deal with an administrative body full of technical people who know what matters and what doesn’t every company is now going to have to hire teams of lawyers to defend themselves in court and explain every little thing to a jury of total laymen.

The companies that violate the law regularly with the intent to “just pay the fines” will now have to defend themselves in court over and over and over again. You think immigration courts are overloaded? Now every federal court will be!

Perhaps they thought this would just result in businesses no longer having to comply with regulations? Hell no. Next year’s Federal budget is going to balloon in order to pay for all these new inefficiencies.

They are insane.

Of course, this is conservatives modus operandi: Don’t bother looking at real outcomes and real consequences of their actions! Instead, look towards tradition and religion and only that which is right in front of their face.

Nvidia cards are so much faster than AMD for Stable Diffusion it’s ridiculous.

That and Turbo like that other person said 👍

Thanks to the genius of Large Language Models it’s much more likely that they’ll say something like, “PUT GLUE ON YOUR PIZZA.”

To be fair, is as “new” as what the major record labels put out!

Hey now! This design met all the PM’s requirements 😤

AI has a negative impact on the environment today (because of energy use) but it could also result in breakthroughs in battery and power generation technology that enable us to overcome our energy problems. It’s already having a huge impact with things like medicine and was a key component in recent advancements in fusion reactor design (which would be the thing that saves us from our energy problems).

It’s not all LLM and image generation.

The article is way, waaaaaaay off. My PC generates images at a rate of about one per second (SDXL Turbo) with an Nvidia 4060 Ti which uses 160W (~12W when idle). Let’s assume I have it generate images constantly for one hour:

• 3,600 images per 0.16kWh
• About 22,500 images per hour.

In other words, generating a single image is a trivial amount of power.

Nah just declare that churches worth over $1 billion that are influencing politics are no longer churches and therefore no longer tax exempt. Utah will change their tune immediately.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that graduates would be screened “to exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges.”

Communists? 🎶 One of these things is not like the others 🎶

Alternative: We need more robotics engineers to build robots that can do the job.

The secret is that no matter how many buttons the panel has they all perform the same function.

Surprise everyone by bringing a grill!

The British suck in this situation for sure but the local racism this girl is experiencing is also bad. There should be an article about that too.

Everyone of every skin color belongs everywhere. There’s no location on earth that you “belong” based on your skin color or general relative appearance. The concept absurd.

I’ll take laptops over a Punch Card System (PCS) any day!

No, actually. The current GOP stance on compulsory schooling is, “no”. They really don’t believe every child should be educated.

I’m not even talking about kids with special needs or “just minorities”. They really don’t believe in compulsory education. It’s considered government overreach.

The ideal GOP educational system is 100% private and only those who can afford it get to go. They couldn’t care less about literacy rates.

They want the Bible taught in schools but they don’t want kids to actually read it. That would reveal what’s in it (liberal stuff everywhere!), after all.

Electric vehicles. Did you forget?

Also, the reason why walking, running, or even biking to get around 99% of the US isn’t feasible is because the distances are too vast. The average commute time for people in the US is 26.7 minutes and most of that will be on a highway. Covering the same distance on a bike would take 3-10x longer (why 10x? Because of soooo many bridges that don’t allow bikes or pedestrians!).

Why would we want to hear about and end to Trump flags being burned? I mean, as long as they’re old and people aren’t sending money his way 🤷
