Just like all those drones we use on our adversaries. The next American civil war will definitely be fought with drones.

That’s a pretty amazing acronym if real

Say MTHFR one more time, I dare you.

Never heard of the acronym though so not sure what the mutation implies.


Counter: I failed a rigorous interview at Facebook years ago and the project lead of their mesh internet Aquila was one of my interviewers. I still was pleased to not have the job because I didn’t really want to be marked with being a Facebook employee.

Time to fire up the ol PowerMac G4 MDD (last native support for Mac OS 9)

Iran could do it

You realize the Strait of Hormuz is shared territorial waters between Oman and Iran right? It’s not an international waterway like the orange shit stain likes to say.

It is an international water way according to current rules. Iran is trying to change that.

No according to current UN maritime law it’s not international waters: territorial waters extend up to 12 nautical miles from the coast line. Iran could have always done this, but Trumps use of perfidy (luring Iran into negotiations to murder the negotiators) and assassination of the heads of state and military leadership of Iran have permanently erased that good will and shared use of the Strait.

Stupid hogs are ruining this country because they lack critical thinking skills and normal expectations for how countries should behave.


The Strait had long had a different status from most other waters.

A status which neither Iran nor the US ever agreed to or ratified. Go read and stop wasting my time.

Also sorry for being rude, I had one job.

Great and if you read it you would see this passage: Although Iran has not ratified the UNCLOS convention,[19] most countries, including the U.S. which also has not ratified it,[20] claim the right of passage as codified in the convention.

Which means neither the US or Iran agreed/ratified UNCLOS and you are fucking wrong.


Millions of Nvidia GPUs are stranded in warehouses right now with nowhere to be installed and some will be deprecated in less than a year. Good thing Micron and everyone in the supply chain is scaling up to make millions more... I am sure this will work out fine when they write down all of the inventory which is too old to install

Are you telling me I only have to wait just a little longer and the GPU are going to be really, really cheap?

No, the GPUs used in AI data centers don't have the capability to do normal graphics. They're completely useless for games and content creation. Additionally, B200s can consume up to 14kW of power. There are no consumer power supplies that could power such a thing.

The sad thing is all that silicon will basically be worthless.


Prediction: it's not gonna be worthless for games. This is what's gonna make cloud gaming really take off. True, you can't use these as desktop GPUs, but they can be installed in data centers for purposes of video game streaming rather than AI.

The physics of latency disagree fundamentally here.

Gaming, as a market, dislikes Live Service games, and many recent ones have basically flipped right out of the gate.

Stadia was the exact flop everyone predicted, and simply throwing bigger compute won’t help. That market, simply, does not want that product offering.


> The physics of latency disagree fundamentally here.

We just use AI to predict player actions, duh?!


I think you're just wrong on this. Stadia did flop, but that's a Google problem, not a tech problem. I play online games with multiple people who only play through GeForce Now, and they've never complained. Especially in an era of increasing hardware prices, this is just gonna grow.

Also, do you know much about the games space? There's an enormous difference between a live service game, and a cloud game streaming platform.


They lack the raster engines to display graphics. So they couldn't be used to render games.

> This is what's gonna make cloud gaming really take off.

Hypepunk at the dawn of silicon gothic.


And here I was just using my CIA Simple Sabotage Field Manual

They ruined Pokemon too, not that it was any good to begin with but these scalping chuds took it subterranean.

The pokemon company intentionally limits the supply to drive up demand. Cardboard is in no way a limited resource, they could print as many cards as there is demand for if they wanted. The problem is not the scalpers but the corporation who values the artificial scalped demand more than gameplay. That no one in the so called community can correctly place blame is an indictment of their intelligence.

This is essentially what is going to happen with Monetary Metals (although I hope not!)
