Blind culture is really just asian cultural values in aggregate form.

Why? There's no benefit to the first person view part of it at all.

Malarone gave me insane almost-kindof-sortof waking dreams of concerning character. I have never had anything like that before or since.

In universe the society of earth and the federation only happened because there was a devestating global thermonuclear war that left the survivors being highly selected for collectivist impulses and then on top of that the eugenics wars whe

You’re thinking the servants exist primarily to execute tasks. Servants exist primarily to abuse.

For this system. Their fantasy is effectively automated luxury palaces and the poor exist primarily for exploitation (mostly sexual and gladiatorial).

It’s because they are training them as much for engagement as actual problem solving at this point.

These have been made on and off since 1995 at the latest. They never work out even though you'd think they'd be super popular for 3d modelers at least. I first encountered one for SGI workstations. https://en.wikipedia.

I wish this was true in the Bay Area. 5-MeO-DMT does not seem to be available and it’s supposedly a unique experience.

ECC is _not_ too expensive to use in hardware data paths. The existence proof of this is almost every medium to high end NPU has end to end ECC.

I think you've not experienced one of the real downturns. There isn't always a golden parachute for most of the people involved.

Othr than bubble $, not really. The true "golden time" was the 1980s. Creation of Cisco, Sun and SGI, and so many other things (like the personal computer), all new, incredible energy, mostly positive.

There isn’t unlimited funding. That’s temporary and it’s going to be great when it runs out.

No. You are thinking of the ibm Mach-kernel “workplace OS” which descended from the os/2 interaction once IBM and Microsoft broke up. NT was entirely a Microsoft project. They hired the prism team from DEC and started completely from s

Repeat or not this is wonderful.

Wow that rings a bell. The lack of end to end ECC protection in some packet paths on very high end ASICs is something I just can’t get over.

He has engaged in a ton of bullshit marketing for years.

The Russians signed it and then completely ignored the agreement. That is an objective fact and has nothing to do with the rest of the cultural relativism you're engaging in. Whataboutism about the US _not signing_ things is also irrel

Google would have to start selling them (the real ones, complete with interconnect) to third parties. If google does that, though, Nvidia is done. Unlike AMD, Google can actually ship software. AMD has never shipped good software other than

Nvidia's moat is the IBM, Microsoft moat: I am about to spend $20M, if I buy anything other than Nvidia, and things go wrong, I am going to get blamed, and if things go right I will get no credit. This is why AMD is making no progress

Their "own" as in built by Marvell and Broadcom. Especially Trainium but also TPU4.

I doubt we can even track all of the chip production capacity.

A lot of it relies on what is effectively "the AI will be so smart it can solve anything" magic.

The Soviet Union systematically ignored the BWC. There's tons of evidence.

Blade servers have been doing this for 25+ years.

Until you get cancer. Survivalist fantasies aren’t realistic.

Being able to punish and control others, especially sexual exploitation, is a huge part of the draw. You need lots of slaves for that.

There's also the story "Go, Go, Go, Said the Bird" by Sonya Dorman in the first Dangerous Visions which is like this, in a way.

Are you familiar with Elon Musk's endless, repeated and obvious lies for the last decade?

A shocking number of the neocloud teams have exactly one skill set: raising money. A few of them also have locked in power agreements. Almost none of them have the expertise to build anything. Some of them are even outsourcing that to geeze
