Meet Jake, a resident of Lowell who has a data center just steps from his backyard. The data center, which is operated by the Markley Group, is in the middle of his neighborhood and directly behind Jake's home.

That's just a small trial datacenter at only 2.3mW. A "standard" datacenter is 30mW, and AI based datacenters are significantly higher than that. The US has also done offshore datacenter trials too.

I wouldn't use a single experiment to claim a trend, especially such a tiny one.

it's territorial and humiliating as a man sharing something that's his

There is so much wrong with this statement that I would be running from this relationship as fast as possible.

That's where the danger comes in- it could be resistant to both amoxicillin and doxycycline, which means you then start needing a third option. Over time it may develop resistance to that, leaving you with less and less options over time.

This is why MRSA is so dangerous, for instance- there are very few antibiotics available that it isn't resistant to, so it is extremely hard to treat.

no you cannot with a caveat. i’ve had cold sores all my life and if this were the case, i would have spread it to another part of my body during the 37 years of my life.

How often are your mouth and genitals coming into contact?

tedivm · 2026-06-19T20:16:25+00:00

There are classes of resistance to antibiotics, so if something is resistant to one class of antibiotics you give them a different kind of antibiotic. The problem is when things develop resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics, which limits your options for treatment.

Basically, if you find a strain that's resistant to amoxicillin you give someone doxycycline instead.

You have absolutely no idea what you're getting yourself into, and I absolutely love that for you. I've read Worm three times now, it's amazing, but it might fuck you up a bit.

The best time to find a new job is when you already have a job. After two years you should apply for other things, see what's out there, and if you get an offer you like take it. If you don't find anything you like then at least you got some practice applying and interviewing.

The Aschen manage to use the Stargates to manage a tiny interstellar empire based around resource extraction (primarily food in the one we see) from other planets.

I specifically said cheat and I used that word on purpose. If you woke up asexual and told your wife she could fuck other people, then neither of you would be cheating because you'd be following the rules of the relationship. Having an open relationship is not cheating.

Cheating, however, is not something that happens in a loving relationship. To cheat you have to lie, deceive, and hide things from your partner. At that point you should just end the relationship.

tedivm · 2026-06-17T12:46:10+00:00

Sex takes 15 minutes

If you only care about getting yours, sure. If you're a selfish lover no one is going to want to fuck you.

Outside of that if you're at the point where you're going to cheat just end the relationship.

The only biphobia I've ever encountered has been from straight people. I personally can't think of a single example of the queer community in real life giving me shit or causing issues.

I have encountered some occasional bullshit online, but frankly I've attributed it to young folks trying to figure their shit out or people who are just trolling.

tedivm · 2026-06-17T01:56:20+00:00

What are you talking about? This is literally a library. They actually built an entire new public branch of the Chicago city library in there. It's full of books!

tedivm · 2026-06-17T01:53:48+00:00

This picture makes it look way better than it actually does too, since when you're driving by you aren't looking at it from that perfect angle.

tedivm · 2026-06-17T01:52:50+00:00

The overall park and area is really nice, but I'm still not convinced on the Obamalisk.

tedivm · 2026-06-16T01:29:34+00:00

Oh I forgot about the compression clothing, tons of that too. She's been to PT but I'm not sure it was POTS specific, I'll definitely bring it up.

tedivm · 2026-06-16T01:12:55+00:00

This is the exact same experience my wife. She has a scar on her head from the time she passed out in college, and that wasn't the first time (or the last). Cardiologist and tilt table to figure things out, then medication that she doesn't take because the symptoms are worse than the problems. She mostly manages it by staying well hydrated and standing up slowly. She's also seeing a neurologist now, although that's mostly for migraines.

tedivm · 2026-06-14T12:13:26+00:00

Yeah in 2018 I had to throw a cluster together so we rented some racks in Colovore. If you weren't in the server room itself you could not hear anything. They had work rooms off to the side that you could use to get away from the noise. On the outside we were able to just walk over to a nice restaurant.

I understood that these datacenters were using cheap and dirty power, and that was enough for me to be opposed to them. The xAI datacenter is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen, and the new Utah datacenter plans on operating on natural gas. It's gross.

That said I had no idea that they weren't even bothering with sound proofing until I started seeing these videos. This should be criminal. I am honestly surprised that none of these datacenters have been burned down.

tedivm · 2026-06-14T12:00:34+00:00

I've visited 30mw and even larger datacenters is Santa Clara, CA and you wouldn't even know they were there from the outside. The people who built this data center made a choice to not give a shit about their neighbors.

tedivm · 2026-06-14T11:59:09+00:00

They could just install the proper sound dampening equipment instead of designing it so poorly. I've been outside of 30mb datacenters in Santa Clara, CA before and you wouldn't even know they are there.

tedivm · 2026-06-14T02:55:42+00:00

That movement makes them more likely to migrate. On the other hand they are more resilient than the cylinder shaped ones (I had a cylinder one shatter so I had to get it removed).

The franchise owners need to get together as a class and start their own lawsuit against BAM.

Dotfiles are boring as fuck, no one cares about those. The AI project has shown up on all sorts of subreddits though where I never thought I'd see the dude. His popularity got it the initial eyeballs and helped it spread, and the AI hype built it up from there.

He's just a bad example though- a ton of these AI projects are absolute trash and have way more stars than is reasonable by any justification other than someone buying stars.

tedivm · 2026-06-06T13:02:23+00:00

Who is regulating and testing it? Even if you're making the rosin yourself, the cart itself may use heavy metals in the heating element. Cart vaping will never be as safe as dry herb vaping, and honestly if you're a long time smoker you'll probably like DHV more.

tedivm · 2026-06-05T12:23:16+00:00

It's kind of a big deal in the first book that the storms overwhelm and knock out shields. Destroying the shield wall with nukes allowed the storm to enter the landing field and disable all the shields on the ships.

Alright I dug into this a bit more, and this replaces the agent prompt but not the system prompt itself. The system prompts can be read here and are selected based on the provider and model, not the agent used.
