  • These numbers don’t make any sense to me, as the hed is about buying lots of chips, and the body is about power use. No matter how you slice it, $8.76/kWh is a terrible fucking investment … if that’s chip-inclusive, that’s another story.

    Data center scale is usually given in terms of power consumption, not computing power. The trillion dollars is meant to buy enough hardware to suck up 20GW of power, and probably none of the money will go towards power generation.



















  • The US has a law to limit the liability of gun manufacturers.

    The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a U.S law, passed in 2005, that protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products. Both arms manufacturers and dealers can still be held liable for damages resulting from defective products, breach of contract, criminal misconduct, and other actions for which they are directly responsible. However, they may be held liable for negligent entrustment if it is found that they had reason to believe a firearm was intended for use in a crime.
