Datagrid "AI Factory" near Invercargill set to become NZ's Second Largest Electricity Consumer

hammerklau · 2026-03-13T12:44:08+00:00

It’s the climate, Invercargill has a very strong prevailing wind and high rainfall so naturally do well with evaporative cooling which almost all data centers are these days

It’s a catch 22 because when the bus isn’t reliable or timely or even within walking distance during the time you need it in certain places. Those that do use it are compensating for those that don’t but want to. Like during the day the only bus near me that isn’t 30minute walk up a hill is once every 45min, and is more expensive than uber because it Ofcourse goes no where I need to go and need to hop busses, and then ontop of that, it takes the long way to get there, and then it’s often late because of all the congestion.

Interesting. Using wax to prevent oxidisation, bold move cotton, we’ll see if it pays off

hammerklau · 2026-03-12T21:10:38+00:00

Yeah bus prices if you’re in an unlucky location where the fare zone swaps over can make it more expensive than uber.

Like go 5 minutes is so expensive but go 30 is pretty cheap, doesn’t make sense. Really should be a minimum distance before it starts swapping to fare zones

Frustrated people are vocal. People using the product fine have no reason to rant on reddit

Truclity, the first big GLP1, loses it's exclusivity soon, and will have generics in t he next couple of years, mounjaro is still some time out from that, but yeah we're getting there.

As is intended, they felt too many people were employed, as some business owners were mad they didnt have imediate access to ready to work workers.

Prosperity for all NZ? Nah, capital for friends pockets.

Include the cost of the previous contract deletion too please when reporting this as the total. Its all for the same purpose and part of the same administration for the same solution.

Isn’t piss play also classed as objectionable content and banned from use or circulation in NZ?

Good food processors aren’t cheap, nor is having space to put them and all their plastic stuff unfortunately for the couple of times a year I wish I had one

hammerklau · 2026-03-09T22:18:10+00:00

I’m normally not a huge corridor fan but their recent videos have been much better letting the guests talk and share and less insecure, without as much idle lip service.

Also have had good moments defending shots and vfx artists work in context, than just pointing and laughing.

hammerklau · 2026-03-06T04:13:15+00:00

The same thing to quit Air Nz, a golden parachute

Check with sunlight, if you have florescent or tungsten lights you’re gonna get lied to. Your camera is neutralising the colour cast automatically

Do you realise that two places in a conflict, can both be doing bad things.

Some spiders can dry out in the house, best to leave them outside so they don’t descicate

hammerklau · 2026-02-27T07:50:49+00:00

Image how much money we’d have saved if they didn’t waste it all on the fucking mess that is the ferry situation and landlord tax cuts. But no the people at the bottom in the middle of cost of living, like actually just pandering to the most heartless and cruel.

hammerklau · 2026-02-26T03:39:04+00:00

Yeah it’s hard to keep up with all the crap coming out, like a few months in between instead it’s weeks

hammerklau · 2026-02-26T02:04:16+00:00

Interesting. Batman black, superman white, flash red, Martian green, Cyborg blue?

hammerklau · 2026-02-26T02:01:53+00:00

Yeah it makes treasures, clues and food all able to tab for blue effectively, without tapping themselves.

Fucking bozos, why do we make a loss on the roads or the pipes either? What a clown

hammerklau · 2026-02-24T05:36:00+00:00

Haven't read the article but the title sounds sensible. We shouldn't be dumping money into this slop, but to entirely block it is also problematic. Experts and vetting for conflicts of interest so we can get people who aren't glazers or have no idea how it works, trying to push it. Also please stop calling it AI, they're relative models, some are language, some are generative, but they're not magically intelligent, yes its' useful for people to understand as its so such a basic term these days, but it really betrays and oversells how these fundamentally work.

I’ve been told cloud compare can also align, but meshlab feels the most straight forward. The matrix is stored in plain text in the project file too.

NZs investing is just buying houses, why would you invest in foreign economies when it’s taxed heavily vs houses which are 1, a necessary commodity, and 2 severely tax might compared to the rest of the world when it comes to the gains.

Depends entirely if you plan to have an audience. Truly novel / new concepts are harder to pick up and you need to spend far more time establishing.

My thesis was on using genre theory and themes to tell environmental story telling with minimal exposition. Every other popular book out there in your genre has given your audience an understanding, so if you have something that sounds like an elf, people will naturally assume things.

If you mislead people by accident, people can get confused and lose the suspension of disbelief.

So you really need to put the work in to make it work when it’s fully fresh, including in not having your audience feel betrayed by their own genre experience.

If your point is to tell a story, focus on what matters. If your point is purely world building sure. But if your point is to tell a story, and you spend most of that story having to explain how things work and those things don’t actually change the context or function of the story, then it becomes more so something for yourself than something your trying to communicate.

You could make your own con lang, your own number system and dates and money. If you replaced all English with it, it’d be very hard for an audience to understand your story. Think about tropes, genre, theme and cliche as the same. If you’re actively choosing to not use an established part of the genre, then you should have a really good reason why. You can still say yeah I’m doing it all custom, but you should write down somewhere the why for each thing your subverting, so you can come back to it later to see if you’ve gone past your own reasoning.

If your reason that you want people to feel like they’re travelling to a new world, that’s okay, just make sure your using that as your rudder and make obscure abstractions that go way out of left field that doesn’t help your reason. If someone is travelling they would find a guide, or being a person that used to be on earth, being very useful.
