I really love this chart. I'm guess that the correlation here (.85) is about as big as you would find for any other variable. Also, a less serious scholar than @tesler.bsky.social (namely me) would have made a crude Freudian reference to the slope of the line.
Chart shows a close positive relationship between Trump's 2024 vote and Google searches for testosterone boosters.

Looks like we found another 240p-compatible, zero-lag HDMI to YPbPr converter! Links and more details in the post: retrorgb.com/240p-480i-co...

240p/480i Compatible HDMI to YPbPr Component Video Adapter - RetroRGB
I just found another zero-lag, HDMI to YPbPr (component video) converter that's compatible with 240p, 480i, 480p and above. It has a standard HDMI input and the YPbPr + LR audio output cables are built-in; This is handy, but the cable surely isn't going to be as shielded as something like HD Retrovision component cables.

I didn't enjoy NES Metroid until I stopped trying to follow guides and started drawing my own maps. I loved videogames as a kid because they gave me a peek into another world. They're not just a bunch of systems to overcome. Sometimes it's worth taking time to explore and chart your own course.

I know this'll ruffle feathers but I agree with this Food/Water watch analysis. Diverting renewable energy away from fossil phase-out and climate adaptation and towards melting graphics card to power chatbots is the formal end of moral purpose for clean technology.
Data Centers With Renewables Aren’t the Answer
So all these power plants and “temporary” turbines are raising power prices and polluting our communities. Why don’t we just power data centers with renewables?

Many data center companies are pledging to (eventually) do just that. But even if these pledges weren’t just empty greenwashing promises, powering data centers with clean energy is utterly unrealistic. It also threatens the progress of our already dangerously slow energy transition.

Continuously powering a 1 GW data center would require nearly 20,000 acres of solar panels or 185,000 acres of onshore wind power. We cannot afford to waste the time, space, or money to build renewables for Big Tech’s profit machines. 

Already, data center growth is outstripping available renewable energy supply and redirecting renewables from other industries. It’s drawing urgently needed renewables from existing technologies and resources. We need to focus our renewable energy resources toward thos

I've seen people say that Gen AI is a tool. NO. Things like Photoshop, Blender, etc etc are tools used by artists. With Gen AI, the AI is the "artist". You're just the plebe commissioning the piece. I can't imagine anyone being proud of something they came up with using Gen AI.

Red Ring of Death @redring-nation.com · 10/10/2024
Red Ring of Death #116, “The Tingle Commission,” circa 2007. Folks might not remember how hated the Zelda character Tingle was back in the day, but Shawn made sure to make his feelings known with a wry & clever political allegory! Hilarious stuff!
Panel 1: Tingle dressed as JFK on the day of his assassination, waving to fans from his car with Zelda as Jackie K and Salvatore in the front seat

Panel 2: Tingle is shot in the neck with an arrow, with Zelda tending to him and a text box saying "Not bad! 500 points"

Panel 3: Tingle is shot with an arrow directly to the head, his brains flying everywhere, with Zelda looking shocked. Text says "BULLSEYE!! 10,000 points!"

Panel 4: Shawn Tuckley holding a crossbow smiling. He says "Heheh... gotcha, you piece of shit. The Zelda franchise is SAVED."

Text box says: "Here's hoping Link's Crossbow Training gives us Zelda fans what we REALLY want.."

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way
Screenshot from the article in the quoted post, saying "Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people.

“The general pattern seems to be that with wealth and rising power, you become less engaged with the needs of others and less burdened by the needs of social relationships,” Piff said. “Taking candy from children might be the least of our worries but it’s emblematic of the tendency to prioritise one’s own needs over those of others.”
