A more apt analogy is trying to pin global warming on e-scooters. I mean, look at all the e-scooters . And man, they sure are annoying, and e-scooters also use electricity which is…

Interesting read, but this sort of framing is so common and self-deluding- > At the same time, gaming platforms like Steam—which indie and double-A games once depended on for disco…

A lot of new data centres have been announced in Alberta, Canada. Which is a weird location given that Alberta has a derelict power grid that can barely serve the current load, and…

>We can throw benchmarks in the bin by now. No, you really can't. This rhetoric on here is so profoundly boring and tired by now. People have been saying this noise about benchmark…

It is extraordinary, but it also was incredibly hard to procure. Most data centres were almost immediately out of instances, and only the original batch of always free land grabber…

This feels like a case where Betteridge's law of headlines applies, or at least should be presumed. [Recreational Drug] solves [malady] is such a hopeful go to and has recurred cou…

Ok? That's nice. As someone who adds AI generated images on blog entries (a single context-appropriate genAI image that is used for OpenGraph sharing), I just do not give a shit if…

That is a stat you invented out of thin air, based upon nothing but pejorative hope, against all logic or rational consideration of the timeline or the scale of the project, and yo…

Uh, sure... Earlier you said- "But cars from foreign manufacturers "made" in Mexico or Canada can be exported to the U.S. per NAFTA, like everyone's doing now" Which cars are those…

You can't assemble a bunch of imported parts and say it's a NAFTA car. 75% of the content of the vehicle has to come from North America. There are other limits on the minimum labou…
