Low-volume provider of high quality, bespoke skeets. Data center, HPC, networking nerd. My ADHD makes me vacillate between filling this in with a mini resumé and things like 'aspiring llama rodeo clown'. Leftist, but not *that* kind.

I have high hopes, they made a lot of interesting choices.

I'm on the fence about the main character's inability to articulate what's wrong with the hive mind - waiting to see where they go with it.

I thought Murphy was pretty popular, tbh. Best governor we've had in the last 20 years, easy. If only we had gotten the wind farm, I'd have no notes.

You have to hand it to Trump, he succeeded where United flight 93 failed.

Happy Mother's Day!

This morning I made my wife a proposal of an intimate nature, the word for which I suppose could be misheard.

To my surprise, she agreed (normally she needs at least coffee first). I proceeded down under the sheets. She stopped me, asking:

"Hey, where's my cuddleandkiss?"

Niven did a few. The sequel of course, The Smoke Ring, plus A World Out Of Time, and Destiny's Road.

Eh, not really but I think something else is at work here.

Musk has always relied on a single tactic: make up a lofty goal that will get talented people to work 80-hour weeks and then take credit for their work.

I think the engineers at SpaceX, some of them at least, are tired of his bullshit.

The solution they are thinking of is probably "we will get the available power in an emergency and normal people will freeze or die of heatstroke"

OpenAI and Softbank are starting a $500 billion AI data center company Nvidia, Microsoft, and Arm are among the technology partners.

I'm sure they're thinking of a solution, but it's kind of ironic that this massive datacenter initiative is building out in Texas, the state with the most notoriously unstable power grid in America www.theverge.com/2025/1/21/24...

Have we done the "Trump is a weakling" discourse to try to pull off a William Henry Harrison 2.0 yet?

I don't know anything about this, but looking online it seems there are lots of different things called prEP. Which one are you talking about?

@thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social I can't believe you're letting your guest lively get away with asserting that de-platforming didn't work when what actually happened is that the large social platforms were taken over by conservatives and conservative content was being algorithmically promoted
