I’d be wary of that given the detachment from reality of the TSLA share price. The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent and all that.

Sure, the question is does he have $2.17b/month worth of spare compute to cover this + the Anthropic deal after whatever compute grok is using is accounted for

This isn’t space based, this is traditional data center capacity that spacex acquired when it bought xAI. Although given the inclusion of a no-penalty termination clause if the required capacity isn’t provided a cynic might suspect that Elon is just juicing expected revenues ahead of the IPO and that these contracts will quietly be discarded when the promised compute doesn’t materialise…

Maybe that’s what actually happened with the pyramids

Also it’s not even been 5 years and they’ve already made great headway with their stated goal of screwing the French securing against China.

Realistically if you want to see less of this sort of thing you need to start posting content of your own. Otherwise you see what is posted.

Maybe stop getting your news from social media if you want to know what is actually happening?

Honestly grumbling about Putin himself is a change in Russia. They’ve traditionally applied good tsar, bad boyars to him.

Can’t talk about other countries but as someone working in the EV charging business in the UK that gets asked why we don’t routinely do this for EV charging bays: planning permission. Anything that goes above head height is a right pain in the arse to get permission for.

(I also suspect people that ask that are wildly overestimating the power output of a parking bay’s worth of solar vs what an EV takes to charge - if we do put panels up we just sell the energy straight to the grid, it’s not worth the added complexity of trying to actually use the power ourselves)

In what way is Iran proof of China’s ability to conduct an amphibious invasion?

The 2027 date comes from a report to congress in 2021 so it’s not like it’s always been a year away. It was also an estimate for the timescale for China to build up the military capacity to be able to annex Taiwan, AFAIK there’s never been an official analysis that they actually would pull the trigger on an invasion on that timescale or any other.

The issue is that if the analysis is correct and if they think whoever comes after Trump would be more likely to defend Taiwan than Trump is then there’s an incentive to go while Trump is still president which pretty much would mean striking as soon as they had the capability, I.e. in 2027.

Do you want to get kidnapped and handcuffed to a radiator for 24 hours? Because that’s how you get kidnapped and handcuffed to a radiator for 24 hours.

Also to act as a vehicle for “investors” to funnel money to the president.

Generics aren’t really OOP, OOP tends to use run time dynamic dispatch through inheritance. Generics come from functional programming type constructors.

Clearly it’s so obvious people want to play on the GameCube, they don’t need to use the mug to ask.

5/7 with rice

I had a teacher that refused to give 100% on any tests because he only left room for two digits when he drew up his marking list. True story.

Try throwing a tennis ball that a dog’s chewed open at him and see if he climbs in. If that doesn’t work, throw a rat at him and try again once they’ve fought a bit.

Sort of like pickup artists
