I just learned that data centers don't even NEED to use all the water they're guzzling up. It's all because the people making them refuse to make proper cooling loops, but it's cheaper to just turn all that water into waste. What the actual fuck. Want for efficiency is dead apparently.

Hey Aotearoa! There's another price match on donations to the Green party now, and we really need them to be funded so we can have policy based on reality instead of racist vibes/billionaire bullshit. Donate here: www.greens.org.nz/amp_up_our_c... More info from the Green Party directly 👇🏼💚
Your gifts have a tangible impact:

$15 pays for a small billboard

$28 allows us to have 100 conversations

$40 pays for one large hoarding

$140 covers the cost of 1000 flyers

$275 pays for one of 9 field organisers around the country for a day

$1375 is one field organiser for one week

The coalition parties use their funding to stoke the fires of disinformation, division and fear mongering through the media and advertising.

By contrast, our ground campaign and field strategy is supported by evidence just like our policy.

We know that people vote because of trust and the best way to build people's trust is to have one on one conversations. The number of conversations Green volunteers and candidates are able to have with people is directly linked to the number of people who Party Vote Green. Generally, 1 in 3 conversations turns out a vote for the Greens! So it's crucial that we have the financial resources to amp up our campaign.

Your vote matters and is the only thing, on election day, that can elect a Green Government. Funding matters because it helps us have more conversations with people in our communities, including those who may not have considered voting Green (or voting ever!) before.

This very minute 94% of NZ generation is renewable. Every example in the article is from countries struggling to meet energy needs &/or substandard infrastructure. Just make it STOP
O% of NZ energy production is coming from Diesel or coal. 

Zero.

THEY ARE SUGGESTING THE WRONG SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM THAT DOESNT EXIST, or at the very least is fixed by substantially cheaper renewable sources.

This is hilarious. For context I used the Copilot Orchestrator that has Condutor, Planning, Implementator and Code review agents. But with the new "usage based pricing", seems like this is not an ideal setup anymore?

First day of the new pricing model, I tried one prompt to just refine one of my existing change proposal, basically a conductor with few sub agents to update the existing change spec, architecture, test plan, prototype, tech spec and implementation plan.
About 20-30 mins task, ends up burning 16% of my monthly credits in one shot.

A single bus seat at the front of the bus (this one is just behind the driver: I am on the opposite side, as I prefer pavement side to centre line side), suspended OVER the arch of a bus's front wheel, with a nifty baggage holder set behind it, similarly suspended.
