I titrated off. Also switched adhd meds. And a couple other things. But my brain is clearer today after three beers and an edible than it was stone sober 9 months ago.

Side note: fuck lexapro. That shit legit degrades my cognitive function. It’s not fun. Especially when you haven’t yet figured out that it’s the lexapro doing it.

You’re looking at the wrong axis.
American liberals mostly - though not exclusively - tend to be capitalistic. American conservatives are definitely capitalistic. Their disagreement largely centers around “should we or should we not make any attempt whatsoever to be egalitarian”

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3”03’ tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they’re large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more

- Comment on Why do pro athelets get paid millions upon millions of dollars but will be taken off field for something minor? My coach always said walk it off or tough it out. How come its not the same in leagues? 2 weeks ago:
Because they’re grown adults weighing 75-150kg depending on the sport and position, with strength and conditioning to match, and you don’t want to shatter your knee just so you can make a single play in a single game, but end your career (remember that bit about how much they’re paid, and how much the team paid for them?)

- Comment on How does the private equity bubble compare to the AI bubble if at all? 3 weeks ago:
MTBF is absolutely not six years if you’re running your H100 nodes at peak load and heat soaking the shit out of them. ML workloads are particularly hard on GPU RAM in particular, and sustained heat load on that particular component type on the board is known to degrade performance and integrity.
As to Meta’s (or MS, or OpenAI, or what have you) doc on MTBF: I don’t really trust them on that, because they’re a big player in the “AI” bubble, so of course they’d want to give the impression that the hardware they’re using in their data centers still have a bunch of useful life left. That’s a direct impact to their balance sheet. If they can misrepresent extremely expensive components that they have a shitload of as still being worth a lot, instead of being essentially being salvage/parts only, I would absolutely expect them to do that. Especially in the regulatory environment in which we now exist.
- Comment on How does the private equity bubble compare to the AI bubble if at all? 3 weeks ago:
The problem is that the deprecation/obsolescence/lifetime cycles of GPUs is WAY more rapid than anyone in the “AI” circlejerk bubble is willing to admit. Aside from the generational upgrades that you tend to see in GPUs, which make older models far less valuable in terms of investment, server hardware simply cannot function at peak load indefinitely - and running GPUs at peak load constantly MASSIVELY shortens the MTBF.
TL;DR: the way GPUs are used in ML applications mean that they tend to cook themselves WAY quicker than the GPU you have in your gaming machine or console - as in, they often have a couple of years lifetime, max, and that failure rate is a bell curve.

- Comment on Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? 3 weeks ago:
I genuinely do not believe the situation to be recoverable - rewriting the constitution in this day and age, with the insanely partisan politics and fascistic idiocy on full display, juxtaposed with a corporatist, neoliberal “opposition party” that conducts zero meaningful opposition is frankly a non-starter.
And even if it was possible: I don’t want a constitution sponsored by Comcast and Exxon Mobil and Amazon and Meta and X and Palantir and so on. Which, I’m sure, is probably in the plan somewhere.
- Comment on Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? 3 weeks ago:
Using traditional logic and precedent: no.
In the context of the brave new world we find ourselves in, in which the Tribunal of Six have given the president effective carte blanche to do pretty much anything so long as it’s “an official act” (where an “official act” is defined, as far as I can tell, by the president saying “this is an official act”): lots of things, including
- siccing one of the various spec ops teams on them
- declaring open season on said person, including a bounty and guaranteed presidential pardon
- inviting them to a meeting and then shooting them in the face
- etc
Seriously, it’s anyone’s guess at this point. The bones of the system are crumbling, and many have already been shattered, likely irreversibly. The only thing holding this shitshow up at this point are load-bearing posters.
