    • No SSN on that card and it’s not signed.
    • “United States Birth Certificate” is neither a Certificate of Live Birth Abroad nor marked for the particular domestic county of your birth.
    • That Driver’s License ain’t from my state
    • Incorrect number of stars on your flag
    • Hat is unworn
    • Francis Scott Key didn’t produce a modern recording of the anthem

    Well, it looks like you might be trying to pull a fast one with all those fake documents and faux patriotism. Step out of the vehicle–you’re off to El Salvador.

    Check Craigslist, FB Marketplace, Letgo–just general classifieds. Can generally find decent deals on 1 to 2 generation old PCs, especially if you’re near a US Military installation or college.

    Edit: just checked Boulder’s CL–10700k, 3080, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 850w PSU and a 27in, 1440p, IPS Monitor for $1000

    Here are some things that people will suggest that are unacceptable:

    Have the dnalounge.com MX record point to some Google thing and let them take over 100% of my company’s email. Fuck no. Also it wouldn’t integrate with our internal systems, store, transactional emails, bounce processing, etc.

    Why is that unacceptable? “Fuck no” is not a reason for it being unacceptable, and having to build out integrations when things change is part of the job.


    You want business email? Well you host it yourself, pay someone to manage it in house, or pay someone to manage it externally. Using loopholes to get free end-user emails was bound to stop working eventually; just pay for Google workspaces, keep the same familiarity for your employees and now have heightened control over how Google uses your data.






  • I have had teachers try to grade on a strict bell curve distribution, but if your goal as a school is to accept promising talent then train them better you should expect your students to fall within a part of a bell curve and not spread across the whole damn thing.

    Sorry, can’t pass you cause my morals oblige me to give 2 As, and 2Fs, and I’m all out of everything but FS (no matter how many points you were away from someone with a better final grade).









  • On a “respond to an individual query” level, yeah it’s not that much. But prior to response the data center had to be constructed, the entire web had to be scraped, the models trained, the servers continually ran regardless of load. There’s also way too many “hidden” queries across the web in general from companies trying to summarize every email or product.

    All of that adds to the energy costs. This equivocation is meant to make people feel less bad about the energy impact of using AI, when so much of the cost is in building AI.

    Furthermore, that’s the median value–the one that falls right in the middle of the quantity of queries. There’s a limit to how much less energy a query to the left of the median can use; there’s a significantly higher runway to the right of the median for excess energy use. This also only accounted for text queries; images and video generation efforts are gonna use a lot more.
