This person is likely in facilities, I doubt they are touching servers much after they’re racked. Maybe a crash cart is shit really hits the fan and ops can’t get in remotely.

They went from directly being responsible for AI to having nothing to do with it. My question is not unreasonable.

So when you said “Without me there is no AI,” what were you referring to?

Previously the equation was trying to get as much processing out of every kilowatt-hour, now the equation is trying to use as much energy as possible. The impact of AI eclipses IT loads from before by a massive margin, and because of the theory behind it will never, ever do any better than it is right now. The environmental impact should bother you because it’s massive and getting bigger.

And you’re helping set it up and keep it going. I know what it’s like to run a datacenter, I did it for a decade and a half. I’m not going to say I’m making more money now, but I do sleep much better.

Choose Goose is looking rough.

Those are cherries that are not yet Marachino. Light-colored cherries are used because the darker ones don’t bleach enough to look good with the dye they use. Maraschino cherries are whatever color they are dyed with (usually red).

Are you John Lithgow in Footloose?

Have you considered the Dreadbox Nymphes? I don’t have one, but it’s on my list because it hits the Juno60/106 target very well while also being more flexible in terms of sound design. BYOKB, but I can see one of them sitting very well next to a digital workhorse like a Blofeld or MS2000R in a setup for when you need that analog feeling.

Lol I put Inattentive Cand Corn.

I put a hard stop on buying synths with keyboards after I got a 61 key controller. Then I found a Grandmother for $600, so now I just look at Eurorack stuff that I can’t afford as I feed LFOs and envelopes into it from my Hydrasynth.

Sell 2 of your synths that have keyboards with more than 39 keys. You don’t use them (be honest, we’ve all fallen victim to our own GAS) and you could use the money and space.

Specifically, sell them to me for a very good deal.

Gotta love it when you can’t figure out why you’re uncomfortable then you remember you were going to eat an hour ago and pee half an hour ago.

Looks like the old school iPad dock connection.

That shit’s been going on for way longer than South Park has existed.

Most decent MIDI keyboards feature velocity detection via the same method as SP404 pads, with two sets of contacts. Their contacts strips are usually quite narrow and could easily be placed in rows. Might be easier to use them instead of DIYing a bunch of rubber.

K cups, like the shitty coffee pods? Doesn’t seem too bad to me.

Flock drops the dime on our immigrant neighbors, causes human suffering and increases food prices. Thanks surveillance, I didn’t want any fresh lettuce anyway.

You didnt have that one kid in any of your classes? A kid I went to school with had similarly deep feelings about evergreens over deciduous trees, and got in a fight with a Canadian kid after he started talking smack about maple syrup and maples in general. I dont think the Canadian wanted to fight, but he had on a Canadian flag shirt so the maple leaf was front and center, making him a target for the arborist. But it was literally trees all the time. Evergreens can photosynthesize year round so they are always giving us oxygen. Evergreen lumber is better for construction. Evergreen seeds are adapted to sprout after fires when there is more likely to be room for them to grow. Nonstop. Middle school is a weird time for a lot of folks and people on the spectrum are not exceptions.

DB9 is still used on for MIDI on electronic instruments, though some manufacturers are moving to doing it with a TRS 3.5mm plug since it only uses 3 pins.

I had a mouse that plugged into the serial port, but my first computer was a Commodore 64.

Scanning electron microscopes image in a vacuum. Nothing looks 100% like it does at sea level when you suck all the air out.
