@q Too late. Used to think it was just trivial things like skin color that divided people, but then I look at the friction between the US and Russia also both majority descended from the Caucuses. I'm more convinced humans are just incapable of peaceful coexistence. We fight over resources, the name of God even though God himself was clear, "I am that I am", what hope is there.

@🦜 Crikey - an independent Australian source for news and analysis People fail to understand if nobody makes stuff there is no stuff, fighting over a dwindling pie is ultimately a death spiral. If one wants to improve the economy, just re-slicing the pie isn't going to do it, you need to make it bigger, that means more reliable energy more than anything else, then you can build a circular economy and make more stuff so that everyone can have enough. Inflation is the result of thinking that you can make more stuff by throwing more proxy for that stuff into the marketplace. But proxies only work when what they stand in for actually exists. If you put more money into the economy without more product that money is proxy for then you get inflation. No government policy will fix that, free stuff won't fix that because there is no magic horn of plenty. Resources and policies that streamline their creation and application will.

Yea I'm afraid that's not my experience Brad, but I'm not a libtard. I'm someone whose lived from a time when my town had a vibrant economy, wasn't overly regulated you could build stuff without a three year permit process, and didn't street encampments, to the exact opposite, and it hasn't happened under Trump. It was in play before his first term, really starting with Clinton, and went downhill from there.

@Argyl I provide something totally for free. And apparently a lot of people are happy about it because it carries 8650 users, about 30% of the friendica total even though I'm one of 457 or so servers. And I simply have a top of the message blurb hoping some will support it by exploring and purchasing servers here, but some people just want everything for totally nothing not even the inconvenience of a 512 byte blob. I understand youth today are raised in a school system that rewards everyone no matter their performance, and we end up with a generation that expects everything to just be handed to them on a platter. It takes resources to run something if this magnitude and if people aren't willing to help with that then it goes away. And I'm not asking you to purchase something you don't need, I am asking people to at least acknowledge that, consider us if we have a product they need or care to support free speech.

@Argyl Go elsewhere, honestly for the energy and effort I put into this I don't feel like getting a bit of advert out of it is unreasonable, if you do you've got more then 470 other instances to choose from, most if not all are slower, have less retention (we've retained everything since we brought it online in 2020), or have worse uptime, certainly few if any throw the level of resources at it we do, but if you don't like the top page splash that's your option.

@Jacobin The problem with socialism is it guarantees universal poverty and starvation. That's been the outcome everywhere it's been tried throughout history. Is capitalism perfect? No, but it beats socialism. Capitalism would be ideal if one could eliminate monopolies, corporate capture of government, etc, nothing can make socialism work, economics are just too complicated to be hand managed and when you make all people equal you eliminate any incentive to be productive. Nobody makes stuff then there is no stuff. And stuff includes food, which is why five million Bolsheviks starved to death.

@スカイラー I'm two weeks away from 68, this used to be a nice state to live in when the libtards were mostly confined to Olympia, but it is not today, at least not in the urban centers. It's a shame to see the city I grew up in rotting and covered with tagging. Hell, I just tried to go Lowes hardware and the driveway was blocked by prostitutes.

If I wanted to live like this I'd move to Haiti.

@Jacobin Schools have been part of France forever, Muslims have not. Really though the problem is broader, EU forcing immigration quota results in people coming in who have zero interest or willingness to assimilate into the culture and this is what results. In the US we have a similar problem but it's not the EU, it's libtards. Seattle's a "sanctuary city", decode "shithole". It wasn't always, it was where I was born and I mourn it's loss.

@Caleb James DeLisle Trouble with H-Boron fusion is temperatures, it requires about a billion degrees, D+He3 fusion only requires about 200 million so is a more achievable aneutronic, but He3 is rare on Earth, present in Lunar regolith or achievable by breeding tritium in lithium in a neutronic environment and letting it decay. It's present as a waste product in Candu reactors.

friendica (DFRN) - Link to source
@Jolly Rancher @Caleb James DeLisle Yes but you know what it decays into? He3, a helium isotope possibly usable for neutron free fusion and that we'd otherwise have to mine the moon for. And as for the danger of that short half-life, tritium emits only very low energy beta particles (electrons) that are stopped by paper or skin. Only a threat inside the body, and there it's excreted within ten days so not all that dangerous.

@c.c. I would like to see people acknowledge that no land has been occupied by one people or another indefinitely and that all humans originated from Africa or most might be some from Asia, so fighting over who owns the land is not productive. Humans don't own the land, at best some space is loaned to us during our lifetimes and sometimes we have to share it with other peoples or even other species.

@Caleb James DeLisle The issue is not immediate, we have enough known thorium reserves to last 10k years or so. But we have enough deuterium and lithium to last 500 million, but if I were to bet, the odds of us destroying ourselves in a war before thorium runs out are high.
That said, we fight over resources, with adequate energy reserves we can create a truly circular economy and most resource issues vanish.

@Caleb James DeLisle Deuterium is about 1-in-2000 hydrogen atoms in the ocean and there are a shitload of hydrogen atoms in the ocean so not at all rare. Tritium can be bread by using lithium blankets, so again not really a major issue.

@Jacques Caplat Je ne cherche pas à provoquer ; je suis tout à fait sérieux. Nous vivons sur une planète qui compte 8 milliards d’habitants ; la plupart se disputent des ressources, d’autres meurent de faim, et nous ne pourrons pas surmonter cette pénurie de ressources sans la technologie. Votre courant de pensée aurait pu être pertinent en 1500, mais pas aujourd’hui.

Ce que vous appelez « vol » impliquerait que celui qui détient initialement une connaissance la perde ; or, ce n’est pas le cas. Il n’existe pas de vol d’informations ou de connaissances : il y a multiplication de celles-ci, ce qui n’est pas une mauvaise chose.

@Jacques Caplat Non, je ne suis le porte-parole d’aucune organisation ; je m’exprime en mon nom propre, mû par le souci que mes semblables ne meurent pas de faim. Il existe, au sein de notre nation, des groupes qui privilégient des méthodes agricoles traditionnelles — refusant le recours à la technologie, se déplaçant en calèches, etc. — et qui produisent des denrées de qualité ; toutefois, ces méthodes ne permettent ni d’atteindre des volumes suffisants pour nourrir la planète, ni d’assurer une viabilité économique. Si nous disposions de terres illimitées et que chacun se consacrait à l’agriculture, cela pourrait peut-être fonctionner ; mais dans le monde moderne, nous avons besoin de personnes exerçant d’autres activités. Par ailleurs, nos terres ne sont pas inépuisables : celles que nous consacrons à la production alimentaire doivent donc être exploitées avec la plus grande efficacité possible, afin de préserver autant d’espaces que possible pour la nature. Cela ne signifie pas pour autant qu’il faille pratiquer la monoculture ; cela implique, en revanche, le recours aux engrais et aux machines modernes.

Ce que j'apprécie avec Mamba, c'est qu'il ne se limite pas à un apprentissage lors de sa phase initiale ; il continue d'apprendre au fil de l'utilisation, en mettant à jour ses poids en continu en fonction des nouvelles données d'entrée.

@Jacques Caplat Le problème est que les méthodes agricoles préindustrielles ne sont pas suffisamment productives pour nourrir une population de huit milliards d’habitants. Manquer de réalisme sur ce point mènera inévitablement à une famine de masse. Plutôt que d’abandonner l’agriculture moderne, nous devons trouver le moyen de la rendre plus circulaire. La méthode chinoise, qui consiste à produire des carburants synthétiques à partir de dioxyde de carbone capté directement, mériterait d’être généralisée : elle permettrait de ne pas ajouter de carbone net dans l’atmosphère, tout en conservant le niveau d’efficacité nécessaire pour nous nourrir.

@Sui In den Vereinigten Staaten haben wir ein ähnliches Problem: Linke Parteien fördern illegale Einwanderung und die darauf folgende illegale Stimmabgabe, um ihre politische Agenda voranzutreiben. Da es bei uns keine EU gibt, die Einwanderungsquoten erzwingen könnte, handelt es sich in unserem Fall um eine rein interne Angelegenheit.

@Lefuan No me gusta recurrir a la censura, ya que considero que las diferencias se resuelven de forma pacífica mediante el diálogo o de forma violenta mediante la guerra, y prefiero la primera opción.

Dicho esto, para mantener un ambiente constructivo es necesario establecer ciertas normas; entre ellas, la prohibición de ataques *ad hominem*, ya sea contra una persona o un grupo. Está bien cuestionar ideas, pero no atacar a las personas.

Je vais avancer une autre explication au racisme : une adaptation génétique aux périodes de pénurie et à l'organisation sociale des chasseurs-cueilleurs. La défense territoriale des ressources alimentaires par les tribus était cruciale pour la survie ; ainsi, les groupes qui protégeaient farouchement les leurs ont transmis leurs gènes. Nous ne sommes plus des chasseurs-cueilleurs, mais la pénurie persiste dans certaines régions ; ces gènes liés à l'instinct de survie demeurent donc présents et actifs. Nous devons choisir de passer outre, et si nous parvenons à survivre encore une trentaine de générations, peut-être finirons-nous par nous adapter. Mais je ne me fais pas trop d'illusions.

@Jacobin It's funny people criticize capitalism but they've got nothing to offer as an alternative except that which historically has been a disaster, socialism. Socialism lacks any automatic feedback with respect to supply and demand, lacks any incentive for humans to be productive, and this never worked in the past, and it sure as hell won't work with gen-Z.

Il y a une certaine ironie à voir les Français critiquer la politique américaine. J'aimerais que cette critique soit sincère et altruiste. Malheureusement, les émeutes qui secouent la France suggèrent qu'ils ont leurs propres problèmes à régler ; peut-être critiquent-ils les États-Unis parce qu'ils ont dilapidé leur identité nationale au profit de l'immigration musulmane et sacrifié leur capacité industrielle sur l'autel des préoccupations environnementales, se retrouvant ainsi vulnérables et dépendants d'apports extérieurs en matière d'énergie et d'industrie. Et, bien entendu, je ne souscris pas à l'idée que multiplier les mots renforce la justesse de mon propos : je vais simplement droit au but et je conclus.

@cm0002 No good answer for RAM right now but with respect to GPUs, consider Intel Arc. I purchased a B50 Pro for a whole of $300, it's turned out to be a reasonably solid performer. I have SR-IOV working on it now a vf for a windows vm, and one for LLAMA inference, I'm using a mamba model so unlike the big boys my LLM learns on the fly. And this thing draws a whole of 50 watts so you don't need your own nuclear power plant to run it.
