If thats using pre-ukraine ratios that’s believable but this war has been extremely lethal for both sides. Instead of cassevac in hours it can sometimes take weeks so a survivable injury in Afghanistan becomes a death sentence in Ukraine. Look at that one dude who was stuck in his position wounded for months. They used a drone to cassevac him because rescue kept getting attacked and killed and the russian drones wouldn’t let him leave.
They’re not safer than cars if i remember right. Small planes are a lot more dangerous statistically per hour or mile travelled. Going per hour general aviation is 24 times more lethal https://avweb.com/insider/why-we-dont-care-about-fatal-accidents/ and yeah the link is bait to get you to read.
"If the automobile fatal accident rate were equivalent to GA’s fatal rate, we would kill more than 800,000 people a year and your car insurance would cost $25,000. "
I have electric baseboard heaters so i like to heat my home with my server in the winter. I dont use it enough in the summer to warrant the power draw, but i’m looking forward to doing so this winter.
I’m hoping the AI bubble pops soon… i’d really like to pick up a decent accelerator card for AI for my desktop. My current server doesn’t have the PCIe slots left (all filled with U.2 drives on PCIe adapters or HBAs) so it would need to go in my desktop… i thought 64GB was a lot when i built this 3 years ago but now i’m wishing I put 128GB in it…
My server has 238GB though (ordered a 256GB kit and one stick was dead. Caught that on the 4th test cycle with memtest86+ pro which I 100% paid for.) Since I use it for not only ZFS but also all of my random containers and game server VMs.
Maybe try netbird?
I really wish it were law that your subtotal included a field called “profit to the shareholders” to transparently show you exactly how hard you’re getting fucked over.
My local butcher shop sells whole pork side ribs for like $13 CDN and still make a profit. Walmart charges $18 and makes a killing any time they sell one. My local butcher pays living wages while walmart doesnt…
I did… it was in my post that I assumed you were capable of reading which was a terrible blunder on my part
I think that’s a self report. If you read more we wouldn’t be having this conversation 🤣
My specific claim isn’t talking about the past year or past decade, but the past 50 years to be clear. The technology has existed to taper off of fossil fuels for a loooong time but we never did. Why? And don’t tell me it was too expensive. Everything is too expensive at first but economies of scale, innovations, and technological maturity drop prices. Solar is cheaper than gas and has been for a long time now. Same with wind… that could have happened earlier.
Theres a difference between token usage on your grid, or edge case countries like Norway that are all mountains and Fjords they can easily dam up for cheap power. Most of the countries you listed still consume huge amounts of fossil fuels and are delayed by decades on decarbonization. Why? You’re pointing to exceptions that prove the rule, also EV usage is a recent thing as the US empire is collapsing.
The US has historically obstructed global climate policy. The Senate’s 1997 Byrd-Hagel resolution passed 95-0 against Kyoto-style commitments. It said the US shouldn’t accept binding emissions limits unless developing countries also took on commitments thereby crippling their own economies.
The US never ratified Kyoto, and it has withdrawn from Paris twice. The US also promotes its own LNG and oil exports. They built the world’s largest petrochemical supercomplex in Louisiana. For the past 70 years the US has made money hand over fist by importing cheap shit oil and refining into products it sells back to other nations. Other nations don’t need to invest in refining capacity or deal with crude grades and markets, and the US earns money and a large part of their dollar backing demand by being the world’s refinery.
Additionally members of the International Maritime Organization voted to delay a global carbon price on shipping after the US threatened sanctions, tariffs and visa restrictions on supporters. Sanctions update
There’s also this how can this happen if Europe isn’t beholden to American interests? Why would the EU sign up to be even more reliant on American oil? If the US were instead a leader on decarbonization how do you think things would be different?
Do you need past US presidents to go on public television and say “We are opposed to any country trying to decarbonize” Or is a wealth of circumstantial evidence and direct evidence not enough?
How about you provide actual meaningful examples to support your counterargument. Address each of the claims I’ve made here because I think they’re pretty damning to your argument. Yes, the US doesn’t allow other countries to decarbonize.
Back that up with some examples and i would be more likely to believe you
Also the USD was backed by oil. The US would never allow countries to truly decarbonize since it undermines the value of the dollar.
I work with a brazillian guy named Flavio and he says he feels like he’s being cyberbullied in multiple languages (he speaks 4 and gets memes in all 4 in his social media feed saying Flavio is a fucking moron)
Please don’t run AI for free on your own workstation 😭 it’s a very bad use of your computer 😥

The “hoard all the RAM” business model is already breaking
Or people can just use the right format instead of making an LLM play pick up 52 million.
I agree it could make something slightly more useable than discord’s current state but it would be a bandaid fix that doesn’t solve the core problem.
In a normal non-bubble world it would just be considered anti-competitive practices. Also typically it’s not possible to do this, as it’s like lighting a pile of money on fire and a single company can’t afford to buy everything to starve their competition of infrastructure. A private business would vote that moron out, and a public one does the same with shareholder votes.
The problem was irrational exhuberance and everybody doing it everywhere. It self corrects eventually with the public likely eating the losses… but the hardware itself is marked down, discounted, and liquidated just the same so it’ll restore the market for components that way.
Nvidia backstopping coreweave by renting capacity nvidia doesnt need from coreweave so coreweave can justify demand for nvidia GPUs
Customers being forced to take delivery of preordered GPUs that now sit in warehouses, which will age out, and will eventually be in my home server rack some day 😘
You can’t have both those things happening while publicly claiming demand is high and justifies planned capacity. The fire sales are going to be epic… 2001 massively overbuilt fiber which got auctioned off for peanuts. This bubble doesn’t really have lasting infrastructure to auction off besides unused hardware i’ll be able to buy for cheap.
Which means I can buy 32GB+ accelerator cards for peanuts on Ebay to run DS4.1 or Qwen3.8 at home on my own machines.
Same with memory eventually despite the memory cartel trying to prevent it from happening. Once demand implodes for GPUs, so does this synthetic demand for so much HBM, which means a pivot back into consumer memory and normal server RAM…
Are you sure this whistle is even making noise?? I don’t hear anything…
Strata is a good runner for that. It also can run Qwen3.8-flash-next which is also great
The best armor is to not get hit!
