I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

when I was very young, about 3 ish - I saw some tv show/film with a scary seahorse monster on legs stood in the water on a beach, which stuck in my memory. Finally worked out what the show was - Man from Atlantis! (ep 10) And that scary seahorse thing... not so scary looking now :D

This is @ukri.org effectively abandoning what it means to be part of academia. There, humans read things, critique things, and provide feedback, even if it is not the feedback we want. It is symptomatic of the developing horror that is the UK research funding landscape. It's horrendous.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report
A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

Gradius III SA-1 is one my most proud ROM hacks. Zero slowdown. Gameplay fluid as a rocket. You can either play it unlocked (60 FPS and harder) or play the Origin version (60 FPS with speed controls for fair difficulty). It's available for download and works on real hardware.

Anyone know the name of an animation from around the '90s, about a small rural village, where the men go off to kill a wolf one at a time and never come back, and the twist ending is the women find them all partying. Online search was crapolla, mentioning The Village which has a v different story

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

The thing with AI is much like when Radium☢️ was discovered in 1898. It was used in paint, glass, advertised as healthy, without care or knowledge of the actual costs it came with. Historically, capitalists jumped into trends to sell a fancy new technology thing that just happen to kill you
