Its not the populace, our politicians just like in the US have gone rogue. People are voting for the nutters due to anti immigration propaganda and so increasingly getting far right. Its happening across the entire western world and its bad news for everyone.

I feel like democracy shouldn't be constantly protesting against the things as politicians continue to take power away from the people, it should be the people bringing great analysis and ideas to governments to implement. The entire system is backwards, we spend all our time fighting the politicians who are constantly becoming more corrupt trying to take more power and more money for businesses they profit from. We deserve the politicians we get because we just don't see what it could become better with less awful people in charge.

Initially a lot of the AI was getting trained on lower class GPUs and none of these AI special cards/blades existed. The problem is that the problems are quite large and hence require a lot of VRAM to work on or you split it and pay enormous latency penalties going across the network. Putting it all into one giant package costs a lot more but it also performs a lot better, because AI is not an embarrassingly parallel problem that can be easily split across many GPUs without penalty. So the goal is often to reduce the number of GPUs you need to get a result quickly enough and it brings its own set of problems of power density in server racks.

In my case its because Sony messed up the bios in more ways than one and refuses to correct the problems. They work around it with their own drivers witin Windows and leave it like that, but it also breaks Linux functionality as a result.

Grid forming will just mean the keep running the house when the power goes off, it's not safe for them to be pushing power when it's disappeared, that has been set by regulation in many countries.

Maybe one day fusion will finally deliver and we might have cheap and clean energy with no consequences to the environment other than a few big reactors in a country. But until that day arrives and we work that out we have to transfer and Wind, Solar and batteries are winning because they are cheaper than gas, coal and nuclear.

All of the sales of public assets have resulted in drastic reductions in services and increasing costs. The water, electricity, post, gas and more it's all just worse. The key infrastructure can't just fail making them a very bad idea to be in private hands without very strict service requirements. We badly need to elect a government that will fix what is clearly broken.

Civilisation is ending, probably the whole of humanity and we will likely take much of the other animals with us. Humanity is an extinction event. Its all over but for dying now, just carry on living your life and just know this is it, we failed the great filter. We could have done something about this once we understood the problem from any point from the 19th century onwards but the failure of Kyoto agreement in the 1990s marked the point where we were always going to fail, it was the last moment where correction could save us. The last tipping point will happen in the next year or two and then a whole bunch more of unknown events will occur that we didn't even predict. The temperature growth will continue to accelerate.

Grain's old and original content before it became mostly hermitcraft was videos about teaching you about how to build things, houses and interiors etc. They are really good for teaching you how to build much better more creative buildings and while things in minecraft have expanded since they are still very relevant and a rapid introduction to the principles of minecraft creative design.

Drax is an ongoing horrible scandal. The theory was that you could burn replaceable trees and wood waste and replant it and then at the very least it was a cycle, all be it a cycle that had a massive lag of many years before the CO2 was once again captured by new tree growth and the old coal power stations could continue on with this new fuel. In practice its repeatedly been caught cutting down ancient trees that wont be replaced from Canada and the USA. It should not be receiving green subsides its just accelerating the climate crisis and despite its relatively low energy output its the biggest contribution to CO2e production in the UK power system because burning wood is so inefficient.

The iamkate and gridwatch sites (https://grid.iamkate.com/ and https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/) don't seem to know quite how to classify it with the iamkate putting it into blue alongside nuclear and templar just noting in its description a link to the scandal but also including "bio" in its renewable graphs.

That gets in the way of corporations making money out of "normal market movements". Its just supply and demand when companies do it, the moment the working class tries to do the same they find themselves getting punished. If its illegal its going to need to be illegal for companies too and this means governments have to start doing their job again and reigning in corporate criminality.

"Let me know if you need anything"

Well I could do with some help with the basics like cleaning. Hello? Hello? Oh they are already gone and have deleted my number. Cool cool.
