Don't forget that we've not got to waste energy, we've got to make sure we use low energy light bulbs, change to energy efficient appliances, make sure that we don't leave stuff turned on unnecessarily because it all contributes to climate change. But that only applies to us lowly serfs. Meanwhile if you're a mega corp that's made a net zero pledge you can just waste as much as you want.

Well, we could always stop using Google.

Some OEMs can get surprising thermals out of thin laptops using aggressive fan curves and liquid metal (at the expense of the liquid metal sometimes leaking onto the board and amalgamating with the solder joints).

This is like watching McDonalds advertise their fresh hot coffee by showing a copy of the lawsuit they settled after burning the shit out of a customer.

(They got any cool T-800 features to go along with that liquid metal, or is the term "melt down" about to get really explosive being near all that lithium ion.)

Also, all modern chips throttle, it's a feature called "boost", but you can't know whether the promised 1 petaflop is boost or sustained because that wasn't disclosed, you have to wait for someone to test it.

Knowing 21st Century marketing, they did achieve 1 petaflop. Measured for approximately 0.18 seconds. Right before the entire laptop exploded, with performance experts standing on the other side of 6" of bulletproof plexiglass. Not that they expected that result or anything. We're told the Guinness adjudicator was just there for show.

Not sure what your point is against a reality like that.

My point is that you're deluded.

Society deluding itself by painting personal experiences as the statistical norm, is how we managed to create a situation where even the liberal goalposts can't keep up.

I literally do.

If your UID does, and you in fact enrich yourself from it without the use of DMT, then understand even the 19-year old in the room grasps the fact their intellectual maturity represents maybe 10% of their generation. Proven factually and statistically.

Asking the seventy-something divorced male victims of modern feminism why they’re quite jaded, is an exercise in futility.

Asking why millions of twenty-something virgin men now feel the same, is an exercise in accountability.

When even young men aren’t bothering to stick their dick into the very thing that makes them young, you know society has a MUCH bigger problem than chasing the fountain of fucking youth.

Silliness aside, it seems we're getting very close to regeneration and lifespan extension. Anything that will extend old people's lives is generally going to be great for humanity. If I knew in my 20s what I know now sorta thing...

50 million human lives are prematurely ended every year on this planet. That’s a World War II death toll, every two years. Across decades. Thats more than any animal, disease, plague, virus, or asteroid has ever inflicted on this planet or likely ever will. That, is abortion.

Japan has sold more adult diapers than infant diapers for over a decade now. The birth rate across many countries, has been below sustainment levels for years now.

For the first time in decades, both cognitive ability and longevity took degrading hits due to bad lifestyle habits being championed instead of discouraged. The body “positivity” movement, did not exactly create a positive end result for health or longevity.

If you think people living into their 120s and 130s is going to be “great” for humanity, then dare ask why so many retirement communities happily discriminate by age alone. Or consider why you don’t hang out with 19-year olds to have intellectual conversations ripe with common life experiences and perspectives. Not aging physically is one thing. Being stuck in an ever-changing world unable to keep up, is what often kills the mental desire to live longer than 100.

I’d love to have my Father around another 50 years. He’s made it clear why he doesn’t feel the same. I’m starting to understand why. We have a lot more than just the physical to address with extending life when even GenX struggles with accepting the realities of today.

"Americans have no idea who's looking at that information, or why it has to be collected in the first place," U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday, adding "They deserve to know."

You know what Americans also deserve to know, oh exalted lawmaker of yore? Why the fuck you're pretending Mass Surveillance just fell off the back of the Flock truck when you've been around long enough to have voted for Clipper Chip kickbacks in your 401k and name your grandkids Prism and Orwell.

There's a difference between a Politician and a Representative. If you cannot uphold the Constitution and Bill of Rights to protect the very citizenry you're elected to Represent, then you are in the wrong as a lawmaker. You should not hold that title or power. You should be fired permanently. Because those enforcements Will Not Be Infringed.

At some point voters will either remember they hold the power to fix this problem, or they will lose that power. Forever.

Perhaps after 165 million games played there is little substitute for the real thing. But given how AI (and humans) often learn a game to the level of building strategy, is there a reason these AIs weren’t merely trained by first reading every Stratego strategy book?

I’ve not heard of a single Grandmaster that has ever reached that level by simply playing the game of chess. They read about it. A lot.
