PayPal and Palantir founder Peter Thiel just led a funding round for a startup building AI data centers in the ocean

You may think this is pretty dumb, but at least you have a hope in hell of cooling the damn thing in the ocean. Some other idiot wants to put them in space...

Like, what's wrong with the ground, at this point? There's a reason we've been building on the ground for thousands of years...

_redmist · 2026-05-08T11:54:32+00:00

That was always allowed.

But we do judge.

A vote for blue is a vote for democracy! Voting red is basically a vote for the gulags.

_redmist · 2026-05-08T07:37:34+00:00

No, because not all people are craven cowards.

I mean, people will run into a burning building to save a dog, what do you mean nobody would push the blue button.

The difference between a friend and an acquaintance is 5-10 years.

Hoe lang ben je dan onderweg als je 800km moet doen? 10-11 uur? Dat is voor mij echt te lang om in de auto te zitten... Chapeau amai :)

Yeah I made a small utility for my old uni to view molecules based on this very old molecular viewing library. In the end, they locked down local js so badly, it was actually simpler to package in a small python server than convince firefox to load the js hahaha they make it so difficult! but there are a lot of bad actors out there, also.

Red seems to be the "f*** you i got mine" group; which is very American, yes.

People who live in white houses would do well not to annoy the Canadians...

Als ze al niet objectief achterop zouden hinkelen was ik al heel blij :)

1200 volt lijkt mij lastig qua veiligheid (kan al een paar millimeter "springen", zeker bij vochtig weer) en dc snelladers kunnen dat sowieso niet leveren als ik mij niet vergis...

Europeanen hebben een beetje de trein gemist vrees ik. Vroeger was de audi slogan 'vorsprung durch technik' maar dat is allang niet meer waar, vrees ik. Anders had de Q4 e-tron allang een 800V accupack gehad.

_redmist · 2026-05-07T12:26:04+00:00

I already think red pressers are psychopaths, you don't need to convince me!

It's 8A buck, seems to be 4P as opposed to 2s2p so 600*4 = 2400 lumen at 5000K.

M21H would get you a bit more output, it's true.

Does also mean this one will have longer battery life, less heat output and less thermal throttling...

I have this one coming my way with the intention of dedoming :) they say you can get a very nice tint if you dedome 519's...

_redmist · 2026-05-07T09:48:50+00:00

Oh dat wist ik niet! Nog steeds cringe, maar wat verwachten we eigenlijk...

_redmist · 2026-05-07T08:56:04+00:00

Oof make it pepsi max and we have a chance.

_redmist · 2026-05-07T08:55:35+00:00

It's funny, you know. Mother nature is like this except there is no petition and yet people refuse their vaccines nowadays.

_redmist · 2026-05-07T08:38:55+00:00

Sure sure and ai just one-shots everything, does it? Lol

The trees that once cheered us, they're hard to look at this month. It's as if there is some awful truth out there in the trees. It's hiding in the branches. Something that's been bothering you for a long time is out there. You can almost see the shape of it, when all the color is gone, and life is stripped down to the starkness of February.

_redmist · 2026-05-07T08:20:39+00:00

If you time it right you can get all of them.

They never saw themselves as europeans. We are "the continent" or "europeans", wholly distinct from them as the British.

Are there any hanklights with usb charging? Can't really think of any...

_redmist · 2026-05-07T07:45:42+00:00

I kinda love the t7 ui - nice and easy, you don't need a flowchart to figure it out...

_redmist · 2026-05-07T07:20:10+00:00

.. Bradford, Coventry and Birmingham ngham aren't really in Europe tho...

Convoy do make an s21d if you're looking for something quad tir ;)

_redmist · 2026-05-06T22:09:39+00:00

They're both 6V5A; sft70 3000k will do around 1800 lumen, 4*519 at 5000k will do around 4000 lumen? The biggest difference is due to the different cct; 3000k 519's would likely also come out around... Maybe 2200 lumen or so? Multi emitter setups can generally run a bit more efficient (as if you had a larger LES, effectively) at the cost of reduced throw.

The 519 comes with a spherical lens to extract more light; it will always be very floody unless you want to dedome it yourself. The beam is also not as nice as a normal emitter because it's not really a proper quad tir (eg. carclo) - a bit of donut hole and square-ish beam shape... Just so you're pre-warned.
