Lose fat and build muscle. You will be more financially stable when you’re healthy.

Hey, I think ai can be a useful tool and I use both cloud hosted and local models.

The ecological impact is god awful.

Datacenters run on fossil fuel turbines to meet demand when there isn’t enough capacity on the grid or just 24/7 because the residents of the nearby municipality said they don’t want brownouts.

Fundamentally ai datacenters transform expensive to transmit electricity into cheap to transmit data, financializing what was previously a relatively insulated commodity whose pricing and production reflect local demand into a globally traded commodity whose pricing and production reflect global demand.

If you don’t have a background in the history of industry and environment: that’s bad news for the environment (and anyone who relies on stable power rates).

Production of ai computing components requires mining rare earth minerals and phenomenal amounts of power. This is the same process with nearly the same inputs as the production of general purpose computing parts (if you leave off the increased rare earths needed to mitigate electromigration in single digit nanometer processes!) but the increased demand has already brought more fabs up to meet it meaning more use of resources and energy in production before the first kilowatt of inference is run on those chips.

Turbine blades for datacenter generators are also limited by production and are currently years out for delivery. These are components produced by advanced aerospace manufacturing shops which use massive amounts of energy to shape alloys of metals that have to be yanked out of the ground and smelted into some esoteric type of steel or aluminum first.

So even without the water concerns datacenters have tremendous impact on the environment.

But the water concerns are legitimate. Swamp chillers divert flowing water into the air where it is blown anywhere but where it would have flowed. Which is fine if you aren’t downstream of one I guess.

All this is to say: if you don’t care about the impacts you can rationalize that however you like, but they exist.

Wilted collards

That doesn’t mean old collards, it means separate the center stem from the leaves, cut them up and in the same pan you fried your bacon and eggs for your ramen, pan fry them until they turn a darker deeper green.

It’s called kilt as well if you’re in a place where people do this.

Save the cut up stems for stock or pickling. Pickled collard stems, bamboo shoots and watermelon rinds are good in ramen too.

You can do this with all kinds of greens but some like turnip don’t need it.

If you’re insanely poor and ill equipped, a half cup of the little frozen mixed vegetable cubes turns packet ramen into cup noodles.

Yeah, it’s hard work protecting your own space.

There isn’t a comparable service.

If you don’t need what mullvad is selling then there are others out there but the landscape is hard to navigate if you don’t understand what you’re there for and how to choose what you give out.

Person who leaves located

Yes everyone just abuses the people who are acting up until they stop posting. It works great.

No.

A photocell is just a reverse transistor where the base is sunlight hitting the p instead of a small current.

I think they have an average 40% adoption rate?

That flattens individuals and second string kill pens into the same group though.

No one with any political power wants actual culls though and the feral mustang herd plays an important role in keeping the blm grazelands in shape for ranchers to run cows on em.

So even if you can climb the ideology mountain there’s real material forces at work preserving the feral mustang herd.

Yeah whenever blm does a roundup they shuffle the animals off to privately run kill pens that warehouse them in substandard conditions and market them to horse girls on social media.

It’s illegal to kill horses for meat in America so you gotta put em on a train to Canada where they mostly become dogfood.

But Americans don’t want them to be killed directly and instead ship the carcasses, so they hold the horses so someone can “adopt” them.

I don’t know why I used quotes there, it’s animal adoption just like a dog or cat except for the wild differences.

While the animals are held in government subsidized private kill pens they are subject to conditions that pretty much every horse owner hates.

Of course the solution is much bigger roundups with direct kills but the horse people hate that idea.

You’ll just have to launder your purchases of Chinese parts through mouser or digikey like the big boys do.

E: try to be diligent when using farnell. They end up with weird shit sometimes.

Am I mistaken or are you the same person who asked if you were the asshole for not planning to attend your fathers funeral after being given an explicit invitation and request to attend because you might see people you don’t like?

If so, consider making amends before tricking your parents into a public place so you can ask them how they want to handle their deaths with a little less chance of your own discomfort.

If possible, enroll in a program of therapy. What you’re experiencing isn’t abnormal, but the way you’re responding to it definitely is. I want you to be healthy and have access to the resources you need during the experience of managing loved ones lives.

Here’s an alternative view, one that perhaps you haven’t heard:

You are living in a world that has become less stable or secure every day. A world with rampant inflation no matter how it’s measured. Guarantees of survival from government have been eroding away steadily and with the advent of llms those same guarantees from private business are already gone.

Family is a safety net you still have access to. Property and possessions held by family empower this safety net.

Consider having a serious and painful conversation with your dying loved ones regarding how to preserve the family and ensure that wealth paid for by the lifeblood and sweat of its members remain in control of the family for as long as is possible and further the needs of the members of the family when disposed of or used.

The word “worked” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

If your goal is to justify throwing things away, there are whole self help ecosystems built to help you to toss it all, from self transformation regimens to grief processing and everything in between. Find one you like and read, listen and engage about it on social media till you believe what it says then just throw all your stuff out.

You could also not do that and listen to your CDs and records, read your old books and either store your old clothes to give to your kids or use them as patch material for clothes that do fit.

It’s a question of forgetting your past or integrating it into your present.

Coral and others had this figured out before Apple. Not to downplay the significant effect they will have, but it was clear from the first little text and image classification pop after deep dream that the technology would bifurcate into little ml that runs on phones and computers and big ml that they use to trade watt hours in rural areas.

Looks like a 24 pin to me, but it’s blurry and who can say.

Either way an old oem psu isn’t the way to go.

It really seems like replacing that with a higher rated name brand psu will resolve your problem. You’re running up against the maximum power the pcie slot is rated to deliver. Claimed wattage only tells part of the story. All that power for the card has to come through the 24 pin connector along with everything else.

If you wanna prove me wrong plug the motherboard/cpu/gpu into someone else’s higher rated power supply and show that it has the same behavior.

If there’s a computer shop near you they’ll probably do this test in front of you with one of their power supplies for a couple of bucks. If there’s a gamer friend they’ll do it for free to help you figure out the problem.
