Or maybe that's with projections? They have been in the game for decades, so they know what the expected sales are and they know given the first quarter results, what the second quarter results might be.

Sure there's a chance they're wrong and suddenly a bunch of unexpected orders are going to come in late may or june, but given their current sales funnel it's likely only 5 million for the first half.

Knowing the sales funnel and knowing how the market has behaved in the past helps plan out the supply chain which needs to be prepped months in advance. It's likely the middle of the year will be slow so unless there's a sudden run on motherboards, they're predicting a pretty light summer.

Depending on the jurisdiction; it might allow for some dishonest regulatory hackery; which bad people treat as equivalent to a solution.

If you are having trouble getting approval for a big fat grid hookup or rezoning of what was supposed to be a fairly low excitement commercial/industrial plot into a datacenter; you might have less trouble getting some nice, innocuous, residential development with what are totally just the next generation of cable boxes if you don't look too closely in the back yard pushed through; and once you've done that you aren't going to live next to the externalities or deal with the stressed edge of a grid; so not a you problem anymore.

Presumably the developer who gets paid a kickback to add it that they at least hope will be larger than the loss in expected sale price from having it there.

Assuming you can slip the thing, and some sort of cryptic easement or covenant burned into the deed, to at least one sucker it no longer matters whether the 'owner' wants it or not.

The bit about residential development being overprovisioned for its electrical use seems like a classic 'exploit the commons briefly' format scam.

It's not false; a given house is usually hooked up to a big chunky breaker whose capacity it is not expected to exceed, often oversized by a decent margin; but there absolutely isn't that level of overbuild all the way back to the utility. Probably not even back to the substation depending on how optimistically the transformers on the poles were sized.

Exactly the sort of thing that should work just fine if you do it at a small scale, and sounds like a clever discovery if you avoid thinking about it; but would immediately roll over and die if it were actually exploited at scale(while being even more expensive than the alternative; since wiring in one heavy user is a lot less intricate than converting thousands of distributed residential customers into heavy users). Makes one wonder if they are trying to get away with anything else by playing 'residential'; like the power factor. Utilities absolutely do care about that, because reactive power is real movement in the grid; but historically residential customers have often not been deemed worth the trouble to verify specifically for that; which you could absolutely change with a bunch of selfishly designed switchmode PSU load.

That consumer connection is going to be a problem.

The whole point of AI datacenters is because you have these massive racks of AI servers and they need the ability to talk to one another really quickly. It's not just a server you can have in a homelab, it's 42U of GPUs as part of Nvidia's next-generation compute rack. And they need to talk to other such units quickly because you're going to be using dozens of racks in the training process.

And home consumer power is there because while the home will rarely use it all at once, they will be peaks. If you have 200A coming in, you add up all your breakers and you'll probably have 600A worth of loads. But some loads aren't used at the same time - your dryer might be 50A and your AC 40A, but they rarely go at the same time. Same with the stove which has a 40A plug. It's only becoming an issue because the next big load people are having are EVs and now people are starting to need some sort of power scheduling - usually in the form of a switch between the dryer and EV charger. (This is an issue because 200A is the practical maximum for the residential infrastructure - it's the highest you can get with a direct-measurement electric meter without having to upgrade to a whole new panel involving CTs to remotely measure current).

But it all works because even though we can draw 200A max, very few are doing it all the time, and with the exception of AC and stoves, most loads are run at random times so it even outs. Though even with AC there are plans on scheduling them so they don't all kick in at once - if you can have compressors going on in sequence or in a controlled manner, you can steady the load a bit.

Please remember the APA voted to torture and destroy the minds of people who wore Casio watches, and assisted in that torture program. (All anyone needed to be arrested under the bounty program was to be in a suspicious area or to have a highly accurate clock or watch. No actual evidence of wrongdoing was required.)

Many practitioners had absolutely no problems with abusing their knowledge and ability, not against actual terrorists or even people from the same nation as the terrorists, but against easy targets. The banality of evil, demonstrated to a high degree.

If an organisation can commit acts of utter depravity and evil on whim, then a whim is all that is needed.

This doesn't mean it will happen, but the APA has shown no obvious signs of maturity or rationality, only excuses. And that's not a good position to be in, when the head of state has licensed ICE to gun down people without cause and has promoted the wellbeing of diseases like measles over that of the citizens.

I don't believe forcible injections are likely, but I'm also not going to say that psychiatrists have been earning trust these past 26 years. Personally, I think forcible injections won't happen, but not because psychiatrists have discovered ethics. Rather, because it just isn't practical.

Psychotherapy is unusual in that regard and they have a long history of doing exactly that. Particularly in the US. A very large chunk of what is known about psychoactive drugs come from American government programs where patients were injected without consent with a range of substances. A lot of their biological warfare research in the 60s and 70s, possibly into the 80s, was also done that way, allowing patients to die slowly from a range of diseases.

Nor has this completely stopped. The Gitmo "enhanced interrogation" program of the early 2000s involved not just torture but also involuntary substance abuse.

The use of fake vaccination programs by the US military (and the unauthorised use of Red Cross markings on vehicles by the same) is a significant factor in current world paranoia.

To be honest, it is not surprising that so many are paranoid about medicine - they voted for, and actively encouraged, such abuse when it was people they resented who suffered. And with so many in the APA voting to abuse their medical training under Bush II, it's hardly surprising that there's a feeling that such things can now be used on everyone else, too.

"Security is defined as a positive integer. By having none and then removing a layer, we overflow to perfection."

The powers that be will say "let them fight".

In my experience, no... but context loops are a hint the model is starting to go mad and should probably do some of this "dreaming" to consolidate memories and correct some of the semantic drift it has incurred.

Am I the only one that can't imagine any possible value an AI assistant would bring to a game? Unless you could use it as an aimbot...

Well, it would be if you were achievement hunting or trying to find something - you could use the AI as a way to get to that hidden chest or whatever. It could either guide you, or see you're struggling and actually provide an assist.

Could be useful if you're trying to 100% a game, or get something rare and hard to find.

Not that you couldn't Google it yourself on a phone or something, but maybe there's a higher level of integration. The original Xbox One had a side view type thing where you could watch a video on how to locate some hidden treasure, so I guess this was an expansion on that now-removed feature.

You know, research has shown that from a political perspective, a large majority of people, liberal or conservative, share the same exact values

That's true. The whole left-vs-right deal was really cooked up by billionaires who know if that the proles are fighting each other, they're not ganging up to go after them.

That's the whole point - if we're fighting each other on silly things, we would be too busy to realize the real enemy which are the elite trying to hog all the money. The energy used to deny a person of different skin color access to school is energy not used to try to extract money from the billionaires.

So it's alarmingly invasive and ignores established good practice; but in a staggeringly incompetent sort of way. Would it be the 'white house app' any other way?

It'll help exactly as much as Unreal experience helps if you apply at a Godot shop.

In case your answer is "Well there aren't many Godot shops", then why is that?
