Silicon Valley and Wall Street invent collateralized GPU obligations. Surely this will work out fine

https://pivot-to-ai.com/2024/11/04/silicon-valley-and-wall-street-invent-collateralized-gpu-obligations-surely-this-will-work-out-fine/

Blackstone, Pimco, Carlyle, and BlackRock have so far lent $11 billion to GPU cloud companies — now apparently called “neoclouds” — such as CoreWeave, Crusoe, and Lambda Labs. The loans are collateralized by the neoclouds’ Nvidia GPUs.

Look ma, new asset bubble!

Funny wobbly moon sets:

I also tried to do a little stacked thingy, not too happy with it:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Because who would enjoy their show then if they took their audience with ‘em?

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl I have separate mail boxes for private and work, but flattened both to have a simpler structure. For work, where we use Outlook, I am using categories for organising the mails and privately I am using Vivaldi’s labels system. The main idea is to use search and grouping through dynamic saved searches instead of static folders.

@bender@twtxt.net Enjoy your vacation! I’ve got you covered as I’m currently building a voodoo doll out of silvester rocket sticks in the form of a small shelf for my drill needles.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah I’ve played with it for a bit and read through the code hoping I could steal some of your regex. I’m trying to up my awk(1p) game but failing miserably. 😆

Apparently, when faculty use AI to create assignments, it’s a “productivity gain.” But when students use AI to complete assignments, it’s “cheating.” (https://opencontent.org/blog/archives/7508)

Yeah, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, on this week’s episode of Hair Care Tips™ with Lyse: It’s super rare that I have spray cream, but at the moment there is a can in the fridge. After giving it a good shake, I parked the lid right next to the plate on the cold ceran stove, so I could apply some cream on my piece of apple pie. I then put the lid back on and noticed that there was some cream on the stove now. Since I did not move the plate, I dragged my long hair right through… :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Some more options:

1. Summer lightning.
   
2. Obviously aliens!11!!!1
   

I once saw a light show in the woods originating most likely from a disco a few kilometers away. That was also pretty crazy. There was absolutely zero sound reaching the valley I was in.

Would it make sense for twtxt v.2 to do something similar to bluesky, where you use a domain as you handle by creating a specific DNS record as explained by: https://matthiasott.com/notes/how-to-set-your-domain-as-your-bluesky-handle

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt You probably don’t know this, but it is also self-signed. I also don’t give two shit™ about its validity or expiry 🤣

Oh no, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, get well soon! My voice also sounds like it’s coming from a tin can.

Did you manage to already hide it all in your tummy, @bender@twtxt.net? :-)

@quark@ferengi.one Yeah i’m in deep red here. the governor race is getting split between a red and a maga that is running a write in.. but even if they split the vote 50-50% they will still be greater than what the blue will get.

@quark@ferengi.one That’s the actual plan for the night, I’m just waiting on a clearer sky. 😆

@david@collantes.us No worries, I got you. And I’ll keep the “Handle with care” reminder in mind, might even use it as mantra if I ever take an arrow in the knee 😆

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com just make sure to howl, two or three times! 😂

@david@collantes.us I’m already prepared to blame it on tonight’s full moon if it doesn’t. 🐺

@prologic@twtxt.net history is a broad subject! i think you could spend your whole life studying and discussing only the last 500 years. i’ve spent many nights sharing drinks and discussing the finer points of political history and theory with my uni buddies. i doubt that’ll ever get old ^^

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I thought I had replied to this, but don’t see it, so my apologies. I like macOS, and Apple machines are the only ones who can run it. Granted, there are Hackintoshes, but those are on the way out, sadly, because of Apple’s move to their own CPU chips. So, no, a ZimaBoard won’t do the trick. 😅

Wives are something else, my friend. “Handle with care” applies all the time. 🤭

@prologic@twtxt.net hahahaha! If only was that easy. Wife is pretty stressed out at work with new duties. At the same time people are getting laid off. So, it truly is a dilemma, and something that must be done carefully. I can wait. I waited this long, I can wait a bit more. Maybe and end-of-year gift for both of us?

@prologic@twtxt.net woot, awesome! I am using ux2028 twice in my description. May lower it to once, but need some reference first. 😅

So, @prologic@twtxt.net, Yarn isn’t rendering the metadata as described on the format documentation. That is, ux2028 is ignored when Yarn renders the description metadata.

@xuu@txt.sour.is done, and done, and done. The three of us dropped our mail-in ballots, and received confirmation they are counted. Living in a red state (well, kid said it is more like purple now) makes me sad, and mad, but I have done what I can—and that includes explaining things to others, and encouraging them to vote.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt What Hallway link?

Seems Hallway link in https://indieweb.org/twtxt is broken and redirects to main page. Is it abandoned?

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt May I ask which hardware you have? SSD or HDD? How much RAM?

I might be spoiled and very privileged here. Even though my PC is almost 12 years old now, it does have an SSD and tons of RAM (i.e., lots of I/O cache), so starting mutt and opening the mailbox takes about 1-2 seconds here. I hardly even notice it. But I understand that not everybody has fast machines like that. 🫤

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt here! create a $HOME/.cache/mutt/twtxt/ directory for example and then add this set header_cache = $HOME/.cache/mutt/twtxt/ to your muttrc (the one you have set up for or use with jenny if you’re using different ones). That’s what helped me with that.

Ref: http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#header-caching

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt right, jenny isn’t the problem, it’s your platform of choice. The fetching of archives doesn’t happen all time (once only, right @movq?), but yes, depending on the amount of feeds you follow that first time might take a while.

@bender@twtxt.net Here #sgvko5a 😁

As @aelaraji@aelaraji.com points out, this @<bender bender@twtxt.net> is currently wrong. The 2nd part of a mention is currently required to be a full absolute URI.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congrats, this is cool! :-) When I returned yesterday, I saw also a bunch of those.

@bender@twtxt.net That mention looks like @<bender bender@twtxt.net> on my side …

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net have the Invidious instances (alternative front-end to the platform) stop working? Otherwise, I have just figured my way around navigating PeerTube content and I wouldn’t even miss it if YT had to disappear from the internet.

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl you replied to me, but the reply was just an @, nothing else (the whole handle was missing).

There are no web mentions here, and no notifications. It isn’t Mastodon; if you want to see if someone wrote something new, or replied to you, you need to open your client.

(#q5rg3ea) Some interesting responses, hearing some with (intentional) manual labour involved. I am modifying @sorenpeter@darch.dk Timeline. Still have things I want, and also pondering what would help others.

@prologic@twtxt.net that’s still a generalization. which religion, which historical trends, which extremes, &c. otherwise you aren’t actually saying anything about religion, you’re expressing disapproval of extremes. which is valid, but doesn’t make for a substantial critique, if that makes sense.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m grateful for this accident. I find browsing twtxt.net useful even though I don’t have an account there. I do it when I can’t use Jenny because I only have my phone, or if I want to see messages I might have missed. I know it’s not guaranteed to catch everything, but it’s pretty good, even if it’s not intentional.

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl I use Jenny to add to a local copy of my twtxt.txt file, and then manually push it to my web servers. I prefer timestamps to end with “Z” rather than “+00:00” so I modified Jenny to use that format. I mostly follow conversations using Jenny, but sometimes I check twtxt.net, which could catch twts I missed.

@prologic@twtxt.net both religion and politics encompass an extremely wide spectrum of ideas and behavior. we need to be specific in making a critique, otherwise it doesn’t deepen our understanding of the world. though i agree that the status quo political and religious landscape is awful due to the historical context i’m talking about upthread.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org This is largely by accident and not on purpose:

Lately I’ve been browsing twtxt.net since they aggregate most of the known network
