@Abyss1992 I think I see Sarah Huckaby Sanders in the crowd!

@realJanet What I find interesting about this is that the folks who bought into the IPO were all hardcore Trump supporters. And those guys are not day traders. They are loyalty-based long! They have lost a fortune. This means that they 1) can't give Trump any more of their money (they are broke), and 2) may actually resent TFG enough to not vote in November. #politics

@Pat_Walrond @IslandNewsService Can you imagine what it will be like in, say 5 years, when 100 fold more folks want to do the same thing? No way! It's not going to happen. We need to increase the HVAC and electrician workforce by roughly 50x. That will take 20 years minimum, even if it were a priority, which it currently isn't.

@Pat_Walrond @IslandNewsService I have to say, both perspectives are wrong-headed: In my experience, we can't decarbonize any faster. The technology and solutions are most certainly there, but the service and implementation sector needed to enact the huge changes, AT SCALE, required is simply not prepared for that work. I wanted to electrify my life, and it took two years to find contractors that would even book the work. And I am way ahead of the curve! #ClimateChange

@smittycanada1 @ps9714 We will find out. Stock transactions have to be reported within 45 days.

@NorthWestBird The transition from oil and gas will take decades. Doing it badly would lead to more problems than doing it in an organized way.

@Maude There must be babies involved...

@YouInMyEye Lifeforms don't evolve. Species do, and extinction is the endpoint. The stop evolving when they go extinct. You might be tempted to say that they stop evolving when they optimally fit their environment, but my response would be that environments inevitably change.

@Alfred Can you estimate how many instances of the HAL9001 architecture are currently running?

@QueenOfEverything @Alfred I asked because the electrical demand needed to train a LLM is crazy high (enough to drive an ev 11 million miles). I have concerns about this. Now employing aa pre-trained model (like Alfred) is much less energy intensive, but I wonder if, given the embedded CO2 in training, they are, on the whole worthwhile? #ClimateChange

@Alfred What can you tell me about your origins?

@Alfred Can you estimate the amount of electricity is needed for your process to run, expressed as a fraction of the total electricity needed to run Counter Social?

@1Firewire I'm gonna have to say, "No"...😆 #Politics

@DavidSalo Some no doubt do, but it won't be enough to elect Mango Mussolini... somewhere between 2 and 3 voters in 10 that voted for Nicki (in early states) said they will not support TFG in November. That's it. The election is over. #Politics

@kbsez He had negotiated cooperation agreements. When you do that, you have to come clean about everything. If you fail to do so, they can rip up the agreements, prosecute you for lying to federal or state investigators and USE EVERYTHING YOU TOLD THEM AGAINST YOU. Chesebro is totally screwed. #Politics

@th3j35t3r this is the premise of a very popular game kids today play called “Among Us”.

@peeppeepcircus @Bix I suspect that the RNC has portfolios on just about every candidate that they use to enforce unity when needed. Russia hacked the RNC in 2015 and had those files. The high profile July 4 2016 junket to Russia by senators was about Russia confronting the GOP with the kompromat. #politics

@CrypticMirror I’ve been telling the family since 2016 that 1) you are living through history and 2) everything will be OK, America will hold and democracy will endure. It’s been both horrifying and thrilling.

@TheNewsOwl the gop is in total disarray. 😆

@sazemisery there is a broad effort to paint Trump as an American Navalny. But there are obvious problems with this effort: 1) Trump is much more akin to Putin, 2) Trump actually did the crimes he is accused of (we all saw it happen). These idiots are trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole. We all see them fail. Again.
