Comment phpinfo (Score 2) 55

I don't know what kind of website he had visited but back in the day I'd used phpinfo as a simple "helloworld" app to test my nginx/php installs and the amount of information it'd dump out from literally doing nothing is astronomical. Granted, at the same time, you could override various browser/host settings if you had the right browser and you could confuse the heck out whatever server/daemon was running on the other side especially if it was trying to do some matching/filtering of the information it got from browser agent. The road goes both ways.

Given that they have optimized the crap out of the software they probably feel like they have done everything short of going assembly. But if you're going assembly you might as well just full send and make the hardware itself then you own the assembly.

It will be interesting to see where they go with this.

For generations the women in the family took care of the financials of the family. They kept budgets, wrote checks and balanced the books. Females are quite capable of doing math.

I think the problem is 1) families are going the way of the dodo. 2) virtue signaling is now included as a category to be balanced on the books for egurls, and that virtue signaling is disproportionally weighted against everything else. Gotta spend a lot on clothes and travel for your instas so you can pull a whale that doesn't exist and wouldn't want you even if he did.

I had one breakthrough DMT experience where I saw 'the machine elves' (I just saw what I describe as fast-moving fractals that I 'felt' were beckoning to me); but, we have matching experiences w/the other primary psychedelics: I only had relatively minor on-top visual distortions with even the largest doses of LSD (1500+ mcg) or mushrooms.

That said, everyone is different. I know that some of my friends absolutely lost their fucking minds on a few tabs of LSD and, purportedly, experienced wild hallucinations that I have to trust were real to them but haven't ever experienced myself.

So the cooling loop is a hermetically sealed ethylene glycol filled system. NOBODY but nobody cares about that; that is what people call a red herring at best and a diversion at worst. Every large building uses this type of system in some capacity.
What provides the cooling to the main loop? Is it provided by refrigeration, via water chillers? Then it uses gobs of power, which is a concern to other customers of the power supply. Is it provided by evaporative cooling towers? Then it uses gobs of water and a somewhat less power--which is a major concern in many of the areas they plan on installing these data centers. Is it a dry cooler--just a heat exchanger? The process temperature will be too high and it probably cannot operate in the desert where they plan on installing many of these colossal data centers.

So what is it? Or are they cooled by unicorn flatulence and billionaire's hearts?

That's not how engineers use AI agents any more. We don't just look at what it says — we have it prove that it's doing the right thing. We just look at the proof, so we don't have to look at all the details, nor blindly believe what they AI says. We also have adversarial reviews, which are typically more thorough (but less experience-based) than human reviews.

He fired 100,000 government workers, putting many of them on government assistance for a while. That wasn't taking away people's money and prosperity?

He took political power away from millions. That's pretty much a zero-sum game right there. It's not just the wealth, it's using the wealth to influence the levers of power that control so many aspects of our lives.
