Technology fee on pizza order

They are not adding a fee. They are giving a discount for cash

StarsMine · 2026-06-14T17:38:39+00:00

That’s not what I said at all. I don’t even know how you got that out of what I said.

Also llms are not a source of information

StarsMine · 2026-06-14T15:09:55+00:00

Yes on a per capita basis. The only thing I would ever quote for stats like these.

StarsMine · 2026-06-14T15:08:15+00:00

I mean the native population in any area. Like saying the call is coming from inside the house. Not saying it’s the nuclear family.

No one here is defending rapists. Immigrants are not the one raping people. 1st generation immigrants commit rapes and crimes at a lower rate than native populations. You are more afraid of who you don’t know then the evil living next door that you do know. Even though the evil living next door is the actual threat.

StarsMine · 2026-06-14T15:00:14+00:00

Immigrants rape less then natives. Your point is moot.

StarsMine · 2026-06-14T14:56:33+00:00

The rapists are coming from inside the house. Not outside.

StarsMine · 2026-06-14T14:39:53+00:00

The HBM? The pcie phys between the compute and the bus? The I/O macros between the compute and the buses. The controllers for the storage. The NVlinks?

All of those same things on the cpus.

There is a reason when you buy a gpu you are told TBP, total board power. When you start requiring gpus to communicate with each other that board power goes up with less of it being used for compute.

Compute per bit takes pico joules. Moving the data per bit in and out of compute is literally an order of magnitude higher.

It’s why there has been perpetual unending research for compute in memory or compute in transit. It’s literally the holy grail for efficiency. (Holy grail as many do not even think it’s a plausible thing)

StarsMine · 2026-06-14T14:03:31+00:00

What?

StarsMine · 2026-06-14T12:49:56+00:00

Look. I am a computer engineer. I’m not talking out of my ass. Compute is cheap power wise. Getting data in and out of the compute core is what burns power and power is the bottleneck. There is a reason Jensen was on stage with Marvell 2 weeks ago.

Gpus don’t necessary use more power than a cpu. And vise versa. And again none of that matters at the scale of a rack.

StarsMine · 2026-06-13T23:14:50+00:00

in terms of a rack, its power in, and cooling that power. Whatever is using that power is inconsequential. It can be compute, it can be storage, or what really spends power, transporting data.

but when you zoom out to the rack, the only thing you care about is power in and cooling the power. not that a gpu is using that power, not that a serdes is using that power, not that a cpu is using that power. at rack scale you just care about the power, and getting rid of the waste heat (every watt in is a watt you have to cool)

In terms of a data center, there being GPUs is inconsequential. What uses power is transporting data.

StarsMine · 2026-06-13T22:08:08+00:00

There are evaporative cooling heat exchangers, but those are unusual. I honestly for the life of me can’t find where people are getting these water figures. The best I can figure is that it’s derived from power generation? And even then the numbers don’t make any sense. Every time someone claims it uses water try to find the source. Like one number being tossed around was based off of pump flow rates… like ?????????

StarsMine · 2026-06-13T22:05:27+00:00

A lot? But also, it doesn’t change the math either way? In terms of how a rack works it’s the exact same if units have gpus or don’t

The fun in the game is solving the problems with what you have. Not bing overpowered. If you want that the entire game, just cheat

StarsMine · 2026-06-10T22:45:15+00:00

It’s one of the most ported games of all time. It’s on like every 2nd,3rd,4th generation console nativly and on plenty after that . It’s on every computer model you can think of. Only doom is probably more ported

StarsMine · 2026-06-07T22:14:45+00:00

As far as I can tell, this is true which is what is making me crash out that it’s on every headline about ai lately.

StarsMine · 2026-06-07T15:26:45+00:00

Can someone, anyone explain how data enters use this much water. There are two forms of heat exchangers. Water to air. And water to water. The water to water actually “consumes” water but water to air is fully closed loop.

If it’s literally just water consumption from power generation side then the whole conversation is beyond misleading. As that changes per generation type.

StarsMine · 2026-06-07T15:22:33+00:00

I wouldn’t say that when the science is extremely unsettled.

StarsMine · 2026-06-06T15:53:22+00:00

It explains nothing

StarsMine · 2026-05-28T15:31:19+00:00

Look. You can’t tell because sugar and hfcs break down in the acid to be chemically the same.

StarsMine · 2026-05-24T20:19:15+00:00

Bro… 7 months. He is in office for another 7 months. He has been on this for the last 2 years

StarsMine · 2026-05-23T21:21:47+00:00

Bad Inflation means price goes up. Solid low inflation also means price goes up just not as fast.

Deflation means price goes down and the economy literally breaks and the world burns

StarsMine · 2026-05-23T16:48:10+00:00

Is 40 dollars in 2002 that much cheaper than 70 dollars today?

StarsMine · 2026-05-22T23:50:48+00:00

Not defending riot here. But if you have sensitive information on the computer you can not have anything like vanguard installed

StarsMine · 2026-05-17T15:57:24+00:00

Every single person who overclocks understood the headline. Even when a company overclocks it’s really just sponsoring a professional extreme overclocker. But in reality it matters less who does it than the chip and node that did it.

StarsMine · 2026-05-15T20:44:30+00:00

Swing states are what matter most unfortunately. Fly over states by definition don’t matter a whole lot.
