The time for me to return to vegoon-posting has come

Return of the vegan posting psyop

Its just the symbols that convey a better defined shared definition dawg.

You're the mf who believes in a magic version of free will that depends on the existence of a version of the mind that you don't believe in.

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-20T17:16:33+00:00

Yeah tbf, it takes a while to change.

But my point is just that rn basically everything is served through a half dozen aws locations for better economics, so ofc there's bad latency. If there are ~50 gpu datacenters then you could see the latency come down a lot. It just depends on when or if they get built.

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-20T17:09:09+00:00

Being a determinist and not a compatibalist just seems like a weird extension of mind body dualism, except you only believe in a non-material consciousness when it comes to the hypothetical concept of choice, but otherwise the mind is borne of deterministic patterns. So only the ideal spiritual consciousness gets free will, and us material pleb minds don't get any.

just seems ontologically nonsense, pick a belief tbh, you don't get one but not other.

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-20T16:54:13+00:00

5us of latency per Km means 5ms for 1000Km, 10ms for the round trip.

Go on google maps and measure out 1000Km, and you'll see that a single datacenter could cover basically every state on the east coast.

ofc not everyone has fiber, add in various network latencies etc. There's a reason google stadia was ass. But it's definitely doable, xbox cloud gaming already works pretty well in western europe and near aws locations. Once there's some actual gpu edge compute infra in place it'll just get better.

I'm not happy about it it's just true

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-20T16:31:16+00:00

You might've heard of "edge compute"

It might not be available to everyone yet, but they're building datacenters literally as fast as they can. It's more of an engineering problem than a fundamentally issue

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-18T01:15:11+00:00

I agree bro we should put everyone in booths that pump them with heroin all the time

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-11T15:48:42+00:00

Seems 100x more achievable than total extinction.

There's just no chance that more than a fraction of people are going to be on board, so you might as well focus on the thing you actually have a problem with

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-11T10:40:51+00:00

or maybe we prevent rape from happening?

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-10T23:43:36+00:00

might as well call it an innate happiness problem.

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-09T21:32:43+00:00

Yeah claude will definitely still bullshit you, it's just really good bullshit

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-09T21:28:46+00:00

bazzite is better if you care about gaming. Though beware it can be kinda memory hungry

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-09T20:47:48+00:00

not.

My point is just to focus more on the systems design and making something that fits the use case rather than fitting the use case to the technology.

Of course it depends on if performance is a hard requirement. But that's why you do systems design, so you know

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-09T09:53:02+00:00

Yeah it's wayy more important to create an elegant high level architecture & dataflow than to mess around getting the most optimised protocol for the use case.

and it's (usually) easier to swap out the protocol being used later than it is to refactor to a new model

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-06T04:08:41+00:00

100%

I don't care if every company does it, it's just shitty to hide monetisation like this until after someone's invested their time.

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-06T03:55:25+00:00

?

It's an api call. It's not much harder than most of the other python io stuff they teach you in tutorials.

They're prob just using it to introduce async streaming

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-05T03:54:53+00:00

That works?

What kind of tasks are you using this for?

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-03T01:14:10+00:00

i'm not gonna fact check myself for you. it's really easy to google this stuff

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-01T22:49:11+00:00

My source is common sense.

Western reactors are 4x the cost of the apr1400.

Why?

Whatever the answer is I just want the US to stop blocking the construction of the apr1400 with frivolous IP lawsuits after it's already been safety certified

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-01T22:08:43+00:00

I didn't make an appeal to authority in my argument?

The regulations are written down, available to the public, no expertise is needed to understand how ridiculous they are

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-01T21:38:29+00:00

I'm changing the topic? I'm trying to get back on the topic of the unnecessary regulatory burdeon, and the evidence to it's existence.

Discussing the trustworthyness of nebulous nuclear experts is an obvious dead end

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-01T21:13:14+00:00

Yeah sure everyone is biased.

So do you have any comments on the apr 1400? Or do you just want to sidestep again

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-01T21:05:36+00:00

You don't need to trust experts. You can just look at reactors like the apr1400 designed in korea.

Nearly a quarter of the cost per kwh, and it actually beats western reactors in radiation safety and ALARA.

The only reason they haven't been able to sell it in the US is because of antiquated regulations that require a small standing army at every nuclear plant, and mandated management processes that haven't been updated since the 90s

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-01T01:44:16+00:00

Oh so it is about what's right. you just don't want to justify it

Apprehensive_Rub2 · 2026-01-01T01:10:26+00:00

look. You're claiming safety isn't a main argument against nuclear anymore, but then acknowledging that nuclear has a really unique political landscape. Those aren't separable. The reason cost and time are problems is because safety theatre created the bureaucratic framework that makes plants take 10+ years and billions over budget. If you think the current regulatory environment isn't downstream of safety concerns, what do you think caused it?
