From the preview, I’m guessing honey is shaking down retailers. If someone hasn’t partnered with them then they’ll do what’s on the tin, apply the best coupon available. They tell the retailers they’ll stop if they agree to a partnership.

The amount of power AI and Crypto require is orders of magnitude the amount of power required by pretty much any regular application. The company I work at uses somewhere around 2000 CPU cores worth of compute at AWS (and we have ~100 microservices. We are a fairly complex org that way).

Generally speaking, an 80CPU core system takes up ~200W worth of power. That means my companies entire fleet operating eats about 5kW of power when running full bore (it isn’t doing that all the time). My company is not a small company.

Compare that to what a single nvidia A100 eats up. Those GPUs take up to 400W of power. When doing AI/crypto stuff you are running them as hard as possible (meaning you are eating the full 400W). That means just 12 AI or crypto apps will eat all the same amount of power that my company with 100 different applications eats while running full bore. Now imagine that with the model training of someone like chatgpt which can eat pretty much as many GPUs as you can throw at it.

To put all of this in perspective. 5kW is roughly what a minisplit system will consume.

Frankly, I’m way more concerned about my companies travel budget in terms of CO2 emissions than I am our datacenter usage.

And I’ll bet roughly 50->90% of that usage is idiots doing crypto/ai garbage.

Yeah, there was a huge gap in the experience of a white person and a PoC. Further, the 70s was right on the cusp of stagflation. Not unlike what we feel today.

Layers, layers everywhere

Depends entirely on who the veterans are. If the majority of the veterans have only a year under their belt, this can be disastrous.

Time, multiple checks/options to back out, and independent evaluation is the way you handle this.

Lmao, everyone can read this thread including yourself. Try again.

Then how can you claim the statement is a lie?

Right, because it makes Israel look bad. Anything that makes them look bad is a lie right?

Oh? What’s the official number? Perhaps you can report how many children Israel has counted.

“I mean, sure Israel is murdering thousands of children, expelling people from their homes, bombing a sovereign nation unprovoked, and Israel is bulldozing homes to make way for new settlements. But other nations do bad stuff too so this is obviously antisemitic”

What’s antisemitic is conflating the actions of Israel with Jewish people. Jews aren’t inherently fascist and fascist Jews aren’t all Jews.

This is also fucking disgusting as antisemitism is a real thing. Trying to conflate it with Israel critique makes people take antisemitism less seriously which is also dangerous.

They can’t even stick to their own rhetoric. Dem commentators calling Trump Hitler and then going out golfing with him is everything wrong with the party and media.

I fear 2028 is going to be Dems deciding that they were just too “woke” and running Liz Cheney for president.

Bingo. AIPAC funds a lot of election campaigns and gives the most money to the most pro Israel politicians.

That, more than anything, is why most everyone in Congress is Westworlding.

Yup, they deliberately ran it into the ground. They took out loans against Kmart to buy Sears and sold Sears and Kmart properties off to give themselves money via stock buybacks.

And what’s worse, because it worked, you can see similar actions happening to other major retail outlets. Target, in particular, seems to be following directly in the footsteps of Kmart.

Agreed, very well done.

It’s racist.

They are literally only doing this because it’s protests for Palestinians. When you put negative attributes on an entire group of people based solely on their race, we call that racism.

These CNN bigots are every bit as bad as the lynch mobs killing black people because a white woman said they raped her.

The UN statistics on deaths in Gaza have not been updated in months. Do you know why? Because israel has killed everyone that can count the dead and israel is not counting the dead.

Israel does not have numbers on how many people they’ve killed because they frankly do not care.

To sum up the reports here. Hamas is in the west bank, ACCORDING TO THE IDF.

And if you read any of the articles you actually posted, you know that there are a lot of problems with just verifying what the IDF claims as true. For example, Wissam Khazem’s death where the IDF quickly hid the body and hasn’t allowed any 3rd party verification.

Or the fact that in the very same article about Wissam Khazem’s death, it goes on to talk about how snipers killed elderly and disabled people in the region.

You see, Israel likes to play this neat trick where every person they kill is suddenly hamas. So, excuse me for not believing israelie intelligence sources when we have crystal clear evidence of them massacring civilians.

But again, are you going to answer my question. How many hostages are in the west bank?

I once saw a hamas at a wendy’s. I was so ascared that the hamas was going to get me. Then the hamas just told me to stop starring at them. When I ever so politely yelled at them for hamasing around me, they just kept saying “Fuck off, I’m Mexican”, which I think is a new hamas antisemitic slur.

You did not answer my questions.

But I’ll answer yours. Hamas is not in the west bank you dolt. There is no “pretending” about it. You actually have to be mentally ill to think that somehow “Hamas” has spread out of one of the most heavily guarded regions through Israel and into the next most heavily guarded regions, the west bank.

I guess if you’ve now taken israel’s definition of “hamas” which is all arabs, then yeah, hamas is literally everywhere in the region.

Now, explain why fighting “hamas” involves desecrating bodies and bulldozing homes? How is that counter terrorism? Oh wait, you don’t think arabs are human so I guess that makes it ok, right?
