Until it gets cloudy, foggy, or even just a little hazy anyway.

Yeah CUDA, made a lot of this possible.

Once crypto mining was too hard nvidia needed a market beyond image modeling and college machine learning experiments.

Right,, but in 20 years, the dark places will be hot in the summer, but the sunny places will be dangerous much of the year.

Arizona already has real problems, water, asphalt melting or burning people, more heat stroke.

SAD sucks, but if you can get outside most days and treat it with meds if needed, moving away from desert is gone be necessary in the not too distant future.

Sort of vaguely op-art. Or postmodern brutalist perhaps.

It could be a bit better thought out to improve readability and find a more pleasing interaction between the letter and logo elements, but it’s an interesting idea to explore further I think.

Hey now, you can burn yourself with compressive heating just fine down here on earth. Specifically by accidentally touching the pipe between the pump and tank on my air compressor the other day.

The rapidly expanding co2 does get very cold though. It’s not any different from freezing things with compressed air cans.

I don’t hover, know which would absorb more heat per pound though. Someone who knows more math than I can do it though.

At one point they were only keeping the desperate H-1B visa workers. I don’t know if that’s still the case, or how many of those workers are Asian or South Asian, but they might not want to move to whatever anti-woke place Musk wants to put X next.

Nebula/curiosity stream maybe? Patreon is interesting for this too, and is helping a lot of podcasters and video creators (more) directly.

We need little zinc doggies to bolt to those spots for a sacrificial anode.

Or if humans are the cause, I guess little zinc dicks would be more appropriate.

The only time a cat ever pissed everywhere was when it was sick, and everywhere was all over my apartment.

We were cat sitting and I’m mildly allergic. It was definitely all hands on deck to clean that piss up, it was suffocatingly stinky.

FOIAing a backup of your lost website would be epic.

We also might be able to fill in some gaps in the internet archive that way someday.
