Anakins move is the same one Obi Wan did to Maul. Obi Wan saw it coming because it’s his move.

No idea.

Shepards tend sheep not cows, hence Shepard’s Pie is made with lamb not beef. Beef based versions are normally called “Cottage Pie”.

…because gender doesn’t dictate if someone is ethical or empathetic.

I think he means the equivalent of car play.

Helium does a pretty good job of that too.

It’ll be in shadow at midnight, yes, but not necessarily at any other time. Geostationary orbit is at about 7x the radius of the earth.

As such, the period when in will actually be in shadow is only a short period directly behind the planet.

Super heat what in that space? The point is there’s nothing to transfer heat to. All you can do is radiate infra-red light.

It would be 20kW for each rack or two. The types of data centre deal they talk about these days are measured in GW of compute. That’s 50,000x just for 1GW.

Well, seeing how Luke had to jump around and escape, we’ll never know.

The start of Return of the Jedi? The sand vagina with teeth.

There’s no honour amongst them.

Cloud based services in general.

Bubbles don’t burst for rational reasons. They burst because the lie can’t be held together any more.

Indeed. It’s the chaos that is released when people can’t hold the lie together any more. I think a better analogy would be a dam bursting.

I’m 90% certain that none of the resources being “bought” by AI actually have been sold, or created yet.

Indeed. The prices skyrocketed because vendors realised they couldn’t get replacement supply in the future. What existed today was all they were going to get.

I’m expecting a glut of supply once those contracts fall through.

Speaking of the auto industry: Is AI a mirage, like the dreams of a working rotary engine?

It is, but I think it’s a different type of mirage. The rotary engine does work, but it brings with it significant downsides. Getting the positives without the negatives is the mirage being chased.

AI appears to do one thing, but actually does another. People see it “creating” new things, but it’s more like it shreds work up and then glues the pieces together making sure it looks consistent. Train it on one work and it can reproduce that work. Train it on two and it will mash the two. Train it on a billion and it will mash the billion. Nothing creative,. No extrapolation. Just interpolation.

People want the AI promise regardless of the downsides. It just doesn’t exist.

Jacksonville. Never heard a good thing about it.

I decided to play a game

We tried, but we’re running a bit late.

Convenience as in “it’s what I’ve always used and I understand it” or are you noticing some awkward aspects?
