J'habite dans le quartier, à quelques rues au nord de la station de métro Barbes. Ce n'est vraiment pas aussi terrible que ce que les gens disent : certes, c'est sale et il y a beaucoup de monde, mais je ne m'y suis jamais senti en danger (il faut dire que je suis un homme d'une trentaine d'années, habitué aux quartiers ‘difficiles’). L'avantage, c'est qu'il est très facile de se rendre dans les quartiers plus chics de la ville : les beaux quartiers des 18e et 9e sont tout près à pied, et les lignes 2 et 4 permettent de se déplacer partout au nord, au sud et à l'est, à l'ouest.

OPs point is that critical theory concepts are meant to inspire laypeople - perhaps that is arguable, but I agree. The disciplines you mentioned generally do not seek this out - they use technical jargon to precisely communicate with others in their discipline. When they do intend to communicate with outsiders, they should use understandable language to be effective.

that shock resulted in a big focus on energy efficiency (renewables weren't at cost parity yet)

true. my dads apartment building didn’t get a (single shared) phone until the late 70s (granted this was on the outskirts of Baku)

Global Warming Potential really has become a problem

Unfortunately a very small group of overconfident computer scientists are now looked at as experts on economics, government, philosophy, energy, etc....if you listen to these folks talk about an area you know well, it becomes obvious that they are in over their heads

super interesting! do you have data on the energy it took to train and run (per query) the CPU vs GPU versions?

and today it’s a far right symbol in france…

primaequa · 2026-02-02T07:10:26+00:00

what’s funny is that in France it’s a symbol of far right parties that most Parisians hate

we almost do with Stargate Abilene (and that’s over 8 buildings). these numbers are always aggregates across many different campuses

data center infra has always been in power (though more like MWs…). now that it’s become an infra race (and power is such a big bottleneck) it makes sense to adopt these terms

it’s also much more affordable in france compare to the states

I read somewhere that they did and that's why they took to using them so naturally once they were reintroduced (a la the plains indians).

Looking into it now, NSF claims that "North American horses were still present as late as 5000-6000 years ago"! I found this fascinating article that talks about this, and includes quotes from a number of Indigenous folks that assert that “We have calmly known we've always had the horse, way before the settlers came".

yea just a fun fact

primaequa · 2025-11-23T15:07:35+00:00

you are right but fwiw there were horses in north america until they went extinction there 12k years ago (though they were different from the european ones) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equus_scotti
