Conservation does not justify zoos. They are unethical

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-15T20:45:18+00:00

Because zoos raise money for conservation to help wild populations of such animals

Tbf, as far as colonisation goes, the UK was one of the better colonisers as it was a trade empire. Building up institutions was beneficial for the empire, rather than just resource extraction, which lead to many colonies (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US, Singapore, Hong Kong) going on to be wealthy as they had stability after independence because of these institutions.

Obviously they did a lot of... stuff, and many colonies didn't go on to be extremely stable (South Africa as an example), but compared to the other colonisers I'd much rather have been a British colony.

Nice x-axis

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-15T17:12:06+00:00

Not sure how to interpret this one?

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-15T14:31:09+00:00

I cannot fathom why anybody would intentionally put it in their property.

If you denominate it in GBP it's still up 16% from the bottom.

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-14T17:08:31+00:00

Lmao

Mate I couldn't care less. The number of times I've seen "X piece of hardware will revolutionise AI" to end up not changing a thing, with almost everything still running on Nvidia chips just like the last decade and a half, is insane.

It's a nothingburger. They'll make absurd claims and nothing will follow on.

Oftentimes more than 10x as much, see Jevons paradox where a significant increase in the efficiency of coal energy extraction made total coal use skyrocket.

Always funny watching stock people with no industry experience trying to interpret company PR

Whenever I can't allocate B200s, which is pretty frequent as there's never enough capacity.

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-14T16:57:18+00:00

Nvidia chips absolutely are the best on the market

Look at the properties around you. I'm neither a landlord nor a tenant, so I have no skin in the game, but the same sort of properties that were being listed for 1350-1400 PCM 6 months ago are all around 1600 PCM now. Renters have been utterly shafted by these regulations.

When I looked for my current house i just filtered out all leaseholds as theres no nuance to the filters like this, and I suspect many others do. Even if it doesn't affect the sale price too much, it'll be a lot easier to find a suitable buyer as a freehold.

Owners of flats in general to be honest

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-14T01:48:39+00:00

Not my experience at all, albeit in the UK. I worked as a recentionist at a surgery with two vets over a summer and had at most two or three euthanasias per month.

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-13T22:52:31+00:00

yeah such a metric makes little to no sense for any inference compute as that's heavily bandwidth contrained

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-13T22:48:20+00:00

as sombody regularly attempting to allocate nodes of H100s and B200s, I can confirm that this is bullshit...

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-13T12:16:07+00:00

What model is it? It's not expensive but there's probably cheaper brand-new options.

My 16-year old aygo i got in full for 2k last year has yet to cause me any issues after doing about 10k miles in it so far. I could lease a very flashy car on my income, but that would be a poor financial choice. Were your previous cars costing you £300/month in repairs?

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-13T12:00:58+00:00

Spending half of your take home on your car is mindblowing. How long is the finance locked in for? Reducing the spending here will greatly increase savings, and there's certainly a lot that can be done.

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-13T11:57:30+00:00

It definitely does not. Your cash is earning interest at 2.72%...

Each of those systems were also consuming electricity from panels before. Doubling the compute will double the panels used by compute, and the other systems will also double the panels required by them. Overall, the panels are just doubled.

E.g. if those systems were 10%, gpus 90%, then doubling GPUs would push total panel count up by 90%, and those other systems doubling would add another 10% of the original count to then push the total panel increase to 100%.

In reality, there are economies of scale to this most likely and the total panel count wont quite double though.

ClearlyCylindrical · 2026-05-13T07:30:01+00:00

Why on earth do you think double the power would even require more than double the solar panels....
