I wonder what it would take to get the carriers to install a local tower. They’d probably also need to enlarge the trunk since even when when I have a good signal in the region, data rates seriously suck
Just referred to feeling cautiously optimistic as "microdosing hope," in case you're wondering how it's going.

some day i hope we can get back to valuing skills and talents and knowledge and learning.

until then, i gotta tell you, i love ai so much its the best, ive never seen anything come along and destroy my career competition faster than this. really great. keep using it instead of learning things please, very smart.

Cell phone signal sucks here in Betaville. Only one to two bars inside or out. Neighbor on a different carrier has same issue. So I’m researching ways to get better signal, and the fact that the terms “booster” and “repeater” are used interchangeably is pissing me off. A booster just amplifies the signal it receives, which includes the noise. Repeaters decode the signal then recode and transmit it with more power. They are not the same!!! And I’m not even a RF girl

The Stratos AI datacenter in Utah got the go-ahead. 2x the size of Manhattan, & at 9GW, it will consume more electricity than Utah itself. It's also likely to directly imperil the Great Salt Lake, due to the absurd amount of water needed for cooling.

If you use BigAI, you are driving up demand for such computational obscenities, projects whose sole purpose is to mal-distribute wealth, power & control to those that already have far too much of it.

To use is to support.

‘Irresponsible’: backlash as Utah approves datacenter twice the size of Manhattan

Facility would require more power than entire state uses and suck up vast amount of water in drought-stricken area

*shouting at the heavens* Whyyyyyyy???
Me: Time to get up, I guess
Also me: Can’t I just sleep for the next for another 3 years?
