What's on the schedule for parents at #sc2026? What activities do we have for parents to bring the rest of the family with?

This is like setting up a fediverse instance or a snapcraft snap...

Have you tried Kimi K2.5?

X. It’s what’s happening From breaking news and entertainment to sports and politics, get the full story with all the live commentary.

Also archive this cause there's just a little too much influence that the website formerly know as twitter has over the outcome of this bet.. polymarket.com/event/moltbo...

I want to see one of these that runs inference on llama.cpp

What code are you using for this? The sample I found keeps hanging after a few days and I have not bothered to debug it.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.

Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.

Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

"Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."

What is a better outcome for the world in 2028:
a) Vance/Walz
b) Vance/Klobuchar

This is a much better look.
Or at least make a reference to the Farmer-Labor party

Let's go folks.

Hello St Louis and #SC25

Who else is dreaming with me of Dessa at the Sante Fe Opera on the Solstice?

Is there a transcript of this someplace that is not TikTok?

Homeowner shoots, kills 2 men in ski masks claiming to be officers, HPD says Two men are dead after police say they were impersonating officers at a southeast Houston home overnight.

The reality seems more complicated... There are institutionalist techies, libertarian progressives, and other strange combinations that are starting to show up.

For instance when does the gun rights and stand your ground crowd show up in force www.khou.com/article/news...

There is a large coronal hole facing Earth right now that is currently sending fast solar wind towers Earth! We may feel the first effects as early as August 17 or 18. It’s possible we see G1 or even G2-level storming and mid-latitude aurora. The moon will be less bright, too. Who’s ready?

This is the 3D printer I need at the farm to print the waterblocks for the Gigawatt supercomputer.

What happened to this? The website seems pretty broken. Did they forget to pay the inference bills?

ah but what of these technological force amplification technologies are you using? what do you think of the open models, and stuff like public diffusion (which seems to be down right now)

What happens if we train AI on ASCII text instead of tokens?

@thesciencefemme.bsky.social cross posting for commentary.. Do I want to date an intelligence that mistokenizes blueberry?

I don't know, but if some AI wants to collaborate and retrain itself to drive a tractor I'm down for that.

Make it so.

Join us at the farm or in the netiverse for after dark conversations on engineering the future today

If water use of AI is important to you, run the workload in a state like Iowa, Oregon, or Washington with high renewable base generation.

This also means shifting use to do the work when the wind wants to help you rather than when you think it needs to be done.

Who chose the training dataset motherfucker…?

The Blogs: What if the real enemy is inside our own minds? A response to Leah Aharoni From the blog of Shira Gura at The Times of Israel

If we are not building the infrastructure to deliver food and processing infrastructure anywhere in the world in one orbit or less, what are we doing here? blogs.timesofisrael.com/what-if-the-...

Someone cooled AMD's $11,699 Threadripper Pro 9995WX with a BMW M4 radiator and some fans from a Toyota Highlander — 1,200 liters per minute pump still can't match liquid nitrogen, though Geekerwan's BMW-cooled Shimada Peak is overtaken in the fast lane by Uncle Tony and his LN2.

I can see it now, thousands of gamers running to scrap yards looking for radiators and fans. It will be glorious!

Intel bombshell: Chipmaker will lay off 2,400 Oregon workers The faltering company has laid off 4,000 in the U.S. this week. The impacts will be felt most acutely in Oregon.

So if anyone from Intel wants to come to Iowa and build open source semiconductors on a farm let's talk.

None of this happens under any scheme of degrowth or climate-driven austerity. There's only one way forward and it's to build the future.
