You say probably a lot. And that was my point. We dont know. We say "probably".

And the whole law of thermo dynamics was also my point: you cant reuse energy twice magically. It does something, now, in our climate. We are removing that energy and converting it into something else. So what it did before, whatever purpose it was, doesn't happen now. Does it matter? Probably not. We dont know for sure.

What's the problem with only 1 degree median temperature rise? Probably nothing, we said.

Well... That's come back and kicked us right in the nuts now didn't it?

There was a time, once not very long ago, when we also said "it probably will not matter if we burn this oil."

We dont know. Were fucking around with systems we dont understand and which exist in a current state of equilibrium. And we dont know how much we can wiggle the scales. So we say: it will be fine, probably.

Am I saying to not do it? Nope, the other options are proven to be bad so lets try something else. All for it.

AMD never used chips "more efficiently". They hit gold with the RYZEN design but everything before since Athlon was horrible and more useful as a room heater. And before athlon it was even worse. The k6/k6-2 where funny little buggers extending the life of ziff7 but it lacked a lot of features and dont get me started about their dx4/5 stuff which frequently died in spectacular manners.

Ryzen works because of chiplets and the stacking of the cache. Add some very clever stuff in the pipeline which I don't presume to understand and the magic is complete. AMD is beating intel at it's own game: it's Ticks and tocks are way better and most important : executable. And that is something Intel hasn't been able to really do for several years. It only now seems to be returning.

And lets not forget the usb problems with ryzen 2/3 and the memory compatibility woes of ryzen's past and some say: present. Ryzen is good but its not "clean".

In GPU design AMD clearly does the same but executes worse then nvidia. 9070 cant even match its own predecessor, 7900xtx is again a room heater and is anything but efficient. And lets not talk about what came before. 6xxx series where good enough but troublesome for some and radeon 7 was a complete a shitfest.

Now, with 90 70 AMD once again, for the umpteenth time, promises that the generation after will fix all its woes. That that can compete with Nvidia.

Trouble is, they've been saying that for over a decade.

Intel is the one looking at GPU design differently. The only question is: will they continue or axe the division now gelsinger is gone. which would be monunentally stupid but if we can count on 1 thing then its the horrible shortsightness of corporate America. Especially when wall street is involved. And with intel, wall street is heavily involved. Vultures are circling.

What he means is what he says at the end: if everybody is screaming FASCIST after less then a week while nothing has happened which isn't already in the US constitution....

You get a cry wolf situation when it really happens. Like: Oh no, yada yada yada there goes the Donald is a FASCIST troll again... Ignore those lefty nutcases.

But dont believe me, believe what you yourself witnessed last week: Elon who does a clear and present SIEG HEIL but can brush it away saying "it's so easy to call each and everyone you disagree with a Nazi again and again.."

And the defense worked. Because he's been called a fascist and worse for months (years?) already just for having spewing right wing nonsense you hear in every pub in every city in every continent. But because we resorted to name calling for bullshit... When it actually did happen everybody continued because it's business like usual! Another day, another time Elon is called a NAZI. yeah. Right. That's probably AI generated. Anyway... Pass the butter please, honey?

Thats the real danger.

If you find that funny you just have to watch Jojo rabbit.

It's where this term comes from. Quite funny. Heartbreaking also. Great movie.

China: bad. X/Musk directly and openly interferes in UK and GER politics : move along, nothing to see.

Its such a bullshit argument. Don't be the pot blaming the kettle.

We should ban ALL socials. All. Everything becomes an echochamber after 1-2 years filled with bots, algorithms and Ai. Nothing is trustworthy anymore.

Ok, so Bytedance does exactly what Microsoft, Google and Apple do. Got it.

All 3 can and do run arbitrary code on their platforms. All three share your data with third parties. All three encrypt stuff in their codebase and especially google tries it's hardest to break networking standards just to obfuscate what their code is doing.

Hahahahahahahahaha

Mods, please don't remove this, it's just pure comedy gold.

I don't have enough fingers to count all the different kinds of psychological deficits this guy has. Really, this post is a goldmine. Leave it up, for posterity.

Ah yes, chlorinated chicken.

Sound mighty good for you and the chicken, does it not? Chlorinated.

Banned everywhere except in the US due to low animal welfare standards (it hides diseases and other fuckery) and hygiene. (it hides bad hygiene during slaughter)

So yes, I do hope someone starts this movement and gets the US to acknowledge the troubles with it.
