It's odd to me that people talk about data centers in terms of megawatts, a measure of electric power. For one example among many, a Bloomberg article from March about Microsoft cancelling data center plans began:

Microsoft Corp. has walked away from new data center projects in the US and Europe that would have amounted to a capacity of about 2 gigawatts of electricity, according to TD Cowen analysts, who attributed the pullback to an oversupply of the clusters of computers that power artificial intelligence.


"Data center projects that...amounted to a capacity of about 2 gigawatts of electricity" is a nonsensical statement. The (technical) capacities of a data center have to do with storage, compute, transmission, and latency. I understand there's probably some Fermi calculation along the lines of converting electric power to compute capacity using the TDP of NVIDIA's latest GPUs or something like that. Nevertheless, it's misleading to speak this way, not to mention lazy. It is oversimplifying in a bad way, treating data centers as utilities that supply a commodity when that is just not the case (at least not with AI, where prices for services still fluctuate fairly wildly).

We benchmark GPUs and CPUs in a multitude of ways, including FLOPS, number of transistors (per unit space), etc. In fact performance-per-unit-of-power is one of the more important ones from a design perspective. Ignoring all the other ones in favor of a single metric that's removed from what you actually do with the device is bizarre.

CBC: RCMP charges military members allegedly plotting to form militia and seize land

"...The RCMP has charged four men, including two active members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), with being part of an extremist plot that allegedly involved creating an anti-government militia with a massive trove of weapons.

In a news release Tuesday morning, the Mounties said the group was involved in an alleged ideologically motivated violent plot "intending to forcibly take possession of land in the Quebec City area." ..."

Des rescapรฉes tรฉmoignent : des membres du Parlement israรฉlien participent ร  des rituels sexuels impliquant des mineurs


Par Eliav Breuer โ€“ Source Jerusalem Post

Plusieurs femmes ont tรฉmoignรฉ mardi ร  la Knesset des abus sexuels quโ€™elles ont subis en tant que mineures dans le cadre de cรฉrรฉmonies rituelles religieuses.

Les tรฉmoignages ont รฉtรฉ recueillis lors dโ€™une rรฉunion conjointe de la Commission de la Knesset sur la condition de la femme et lโ€™รฉgalitรฉ des sexes, prรฉsidรฉe par la Dรฉputรฉe Pnina Tameno-Shete (Unitรฉ nationale), et de la Commission spรฉciale sur les Jeunes Israรฉliens, prรฉsidรฉe par la dรฉputรฉe Naama Lazimi (Les dรฉmocrates).

La rรฉunion conjointe a รฉtรฉ organisรฉe ร  la suite dโ€™un rapport dโ€™enquรชte publiรฉ le 2 avril par le journaliste dโ€™Israel Hayom, Noam Barkan.

Yael Ariel, lโ€™une des survivantes des abus, a dรฉclarรฉ : โ€œJโ€™ai subi des abus rituels pendant de nombreuses annรฉes jusquโ€™ร  la fin de mon adolescence et jโ€™ai รฉtรฉ forcรฉe de faire du mal ร  dโ€™autres enfants. Jโ€™ai choisi de parler et de faire entendre ma voix. Jโ€™ai reรงu des menaces aprรจs avoir rรฉvรฉlรฉ mon histoire. De lโ€™รขge de cinq ans ร  lโ€™รขge de 20 ans, jโ€™ai รฉtรฉ blessรฉ lors de ces cรฉrรฉmonies.โ€

Selon Ariel, elle a reรงu des tรฉmoignages de plusieurs femmes qui affirmaient que des mรฉdecins, des รฉducateurs, des policiers et des membres passรฉs et prรฉsents de la Knesset รฉtaient impliquรฉs dans ces abus.

โ€œJโ€™ai dรฉposรฉ une plainte auprรจs de la police qui a รฉtรฉ classรฉe aprรจs quelques mois, et je connais dโ€™autres affaires qui ont รฉtรฉ classรฉes. Sโ€™exprimer aujourdโ€™hui ร  la Knesset est un moment historiqueยซ , a-t-elle dรฉclarรฉ.

Une autre survivante, Yael Shitrit, a tรฉmoignรฉ ยซ Vous nโ€™avez aucune idรฉe de ce quโ€™est lโ€™abus rituel. Le cerveau humain ne peut pas le comprendre. Vous ne pouvez pas imaginer ce que cela signifie de programmer une fillette de trois ans par le viol et le sadisme pour quโ€™on puisse faire ce quโ€™on veut dโ€™elle veut sans que personne ne le sache. ยป

ยซ Ils mโ€™ont trafiquรฉ dans tout le pays. Ils mโ€™ont dรฉplacรฉ de cรฉrรฉmonie en cรฉrรฉmonie. Des hommes nus se tenaient en cercle. Mon thรฉrapeute, son mari et son fils mโ€™ont fait du mal, et il y avait des dizaines dโ€™autres filles et garรงons qui mโ€™ont fait du mal. ยป

ยซ Il y avait des cรฉrรฉmonies et des rituels destinรฉs ร  me faire oublier ยป, a poursuivi Shitrit. ยซ La police est au courant de cela depuis un an, mais elle nโ€™a pas les outils pour y faire face. ยป

Les personnes qui tomberont sont des personnalitรฉs trรจs, trรจs haut placรฉes. Ces personnes dirigent des communautรฉs et des agences gouvernementales. Ils nous menacent. Jโ€™ai des enfants que je dois protรฉger. Quelque chose doit รชtre mis en place pour y faire face.

ยซ Ils ont essayรฉ de nous faire aimer dโ€™eux โ€“ les gens qui nous ont causรฉ une douleur sans fin ยป, a dรฉclarรฉ Shitrit. ยซ Votre rรดle est les arrรชter, ร  Safed, Jรฉrusalem, Jaljulya, ou nโ€™importe oรน ailleursโ€, a-t-elle dรฉclarรฉ.

Le Dr Naama Goldberg, responsable dโ€™une ONG appelรฉe Lo Omdot MeNegged (โ€œNe pas rester les bras croisรฉsโ€ en hรฉbreu), qui aide les survivants de la prostitution, a expliquรฉ que les histoires sont parfois si horribles quโ€™elles sont difficiles ร  croire, mais cette incrรฉdulitรฉ sert les agresseurs, qui convainquent les victimes de ne pas se plaindre en arguant quโ€™elles ne seront pas crues.

ยซ Il y a plusieurs annรฉes, jโ€™ai reรงu des descriptions dโ€™abus sadiques sur des enfants ยป, a dรฉclarรฉ Goldberg. ยซ Les rรฉcits semblaient absurdes. [Mais] les tรฉmoignages continuaient ร  arriver et ne cessaient pas. Ils dรฉcrivaient des viols collectifs commis par des hommes, et parfois par des femmes. Lโ€™abus a รฉtรฉ filmรฉ et des drogues ont รฉtรฉ consommรฉes. Il y avait des pratiques rituelles et du symbolisme. ยป

ยซ Jโ€™ai prรฉsentรฉ ร  la police les tรฉmoignages รฉcrits de cinq femmes. ร€ ce jour, personne ne mโ€™a contactรฉ. Depuis le rapport, dโ€™autres tรฉmoignages ont fait surface ยป, a dรฉclarรฉ Goldberg.

Un reprรฉsentant de la police israรฉlienne, le surintendant Anat Yakir, a dรฉclarรฉ quโ€™il y avait une unitรฉ nationale qui examinait tous les cas et que les plaintes รฉtaient ยซ une prioritรฉ absolue au sein de la division du renseignement. ยป

Les dรฉputรฉs qui ont assistรฉ ร  la rรฉunion ont รฉtรฉ visiblement secouรฉs par certains des tรฉmoignages, lโ€™un lโ€™appelant un โ€œmoment dรฉcisifโ€ et un autre qualifiant les rรฉvรฉlations de โ€œtitanesquesโ€.

Tameno-Shete a dรฉclarรฉ ยซ La rรฉalitรฉ nous montre que la police nโ€™est pas capable de traiter les infractions sexuelles. Personne ne veut parler de viols brutaux et dโ€™enfants violรฉs. Il y a des cas inimaginables de monstruositรฉ ici. ยป

Lazimi a ajoutรฉ ยซ Je ne pouvais plus respirer quand jโ€™ai entendu parler dโ€™un rรฉseau dโ€™abus rituels contre les filles et du fait quโ€™il existe un mรฉcanisme organisรฉ et dangereux et que rien nโ€™est fait pour lโ€™arrรชter. Dans cet endroit, nous allons en discuter et essayer de lโ€™exposer pour apporter des changements. ยป

Deux autres survivants ont parlรฉ lors de la rรฉunion sous couvert dโ€™anonymat.

Lโ€™une dโ€™elles a tรฉmoignรฉ quโ€™un cousin lโ€™avait trafiquรฉe ร  partir de lโ€™รขge de 11 ans. ยซ ร€ 14 ans, il mโ€™a emmenรฉ dans des clubs sadiques. Jโ€™ai endurรฉ la torture et la famine aux mains dโ€™individus bien connus et รฉminents. Jโ€™ai souffert de maniรจre infinie ยป.

ยซ Il y avait des รฉvรฉnements publics, et il y avait des cรฉrรฉmonies internes oรน jโ€™รฉtais attachรฉ ร  un grand poteau avec des menottes. Autour de moi, il y avait dโ€™autres victimes menottรฉes avec des rituels de consommation de sang menstruel et de meurtre de chats et dโ€™autres animaux. Ils mโ€™ont dit que personne ne me croirait si je parlais. ยป

Elle a poursuivi en expliquant quโ€™elle avait dรฉposรฉ une plainte auprรจs de la police il y a cinq ans. ยซ Lโ€™accusation a classรฉ lโ€™affaire faute de preuves, alors jโ€™ai fait appel, et cela a รฉtรฉ acceptรฉ. Je suis venue tรฉmoigner alors que jโ€™รฉtais alitรฉe pendant la grossesse, mais lโ€™affaire a de nouveau รฉtรฉ classรฉe faute de preuves. ยป

For those not in the know:
Amazon prices fluctuate all the time.

Once a year, Amazon hypes up "Prime Day", where they make your savings over list price jump out at you to trigger a psychological reaction that says "I need to buy this now (before Prime Day is over)!"

These boasted savings aren't over the usual price. They are over the list price, which you usually only pay if you're unlucky in your timing.

Sometimes you'll end up paying more on prime day than any given item has been in the past. If you already were planning on buying a thing and it happens to be one of the Prime Day specials, great. On the other hand, if you're trawling through Prime Day specials to look for things to buy because they're on sale, well, there's a reason that Jeff Bezos was able to rent out an island for his fancy wedding. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Exactly! #Amazon should be avoided at all costs! They are a cancer.

Theoretically, if someone were to use a tool like yt-dlp to download offline copies of all of the YouTube videos in their playlists but had to use browser cookies instead of anonymous do download them because some of them were age restricted and also used something like cloudflare warp because the connection kept dropping or getting cut off and then logged into YouTube the next day and suddenly all videos, every single video on YouTube produces an error of "Video unavailable: this content isn't available" and keeps doing that even on day two, what should that hypothetical person do to get YouTube working again?

It's the fact. Communists did this in Russia, China, Vietnam, Korea, etc. Jews did this in Israel. Yankees did this in America. If you take over a country and manage to hold onto your reign, eventually others will recognise your rule.

Recognised by whom, similar outcasts? If you are not recognised by developed economies, you get no foreign investments and you're doomed to remain a shithole country.
* China might recognise you for its own gain, but in the end they will fuck you over and in time own your country.

Communists did this in Russia


No, man, they didn't. Ever heard of this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_โ€ฆ
This is what I'm talking about โ€” without universal legitimacy all you get is a civil war, by the end of it they could suppress most of the resistance, but even that didn't grant them international recognition, it took going through WW2 as an ally to have that.
That is exactly what I'm talking about โ€” without popular support you have to subdue everyone with violence and in case with a big enough country even a foreign invading force is incapable of this, a bunch of fanatics can do nothing of the sort.

eventually others will recognise your rule


Yeah, precisely! If you're lucky enough to remain in power for decades ๐Ÿ˜

I'm 3 months post surgery and spent the first 6 weeks in a neck brace limited to lifting 8lbs, then the brace came off and I was allowed 15lbs, and after today weight restrictions have been removed (within reason). I can now replace the 10lb resistance bands with 30+ and get back to working out, and setting up my massage table so that I can stretch and not have to deal with getting up off the floor.

In my warmup for #OldComputerChallenge 25, I dusted off ol' pal #RaspberryPi model B and burned #NetBSD 10 on an SD card to set it up.

It all went well (slow, but hey) but one thing that I still can't get around (that I didn't experience so much last time I tried it) is the console. Control chars get printed instead of arrow and home/end keys, no colors, etc. Hate to say it, but all in all, it feels backwards compared to a modern, full-fledged console environment of #FreeBSD or Linux. And it's starting to wear me out.

But I have a feeling that this is somehow my fault for not configuring the console properly or using the right output or something. I never had to deal with this before, so anybody knows how I can configure this so I can have a modern env in NetBSD?
