I miss it. unfortunately it met an untimely end at the hands of a dipshit driving a G-Wagon.

now I can control my AC with Home Assistant, instead of having to use the remote like a goddamn peasant.

comparing server hardware from the late 90s to a GPU almost 30 years older is bullshit, c'mon. source: www.wheresyoured.at/ai-doesnt-ha...

"In the aftermath of the Dot Com Bubble, dead startups flooded the market with cheap server and office gear, which allowed plucky founders to cobble together their own services. A single Sun Microsystems Ultra Enterprise 3000 cost $43,000 ($89,000 in today’s money) and had a power draw of between 1,200W and 1,500W, but could run an entire company’s infrastructure. A single B200 Blackwell GPU uses 1,200W, and more-complex AI coding tasks can take up four to twelve of them for a single user’s output. Put simply, you can’t really do very much with a few of these GPUs, and what you can do isn’t profitable, scaleable or valuable."

I chose Canada and I chose Alberta. Alberta leaving Canada would mean losing the Canadian passport and frankly that's not what I signed up for. @4alberta4canada.bsky.social #ableg #ab #yyc
