AI data centers demand more water
"In the previous generation, each eight-processor tray had ten 80-mm fans and a large heatsink that together required eight rack units (RUs) or a compute density of one GPU per rack unit. The next generation uses direct liquid cooling with low-profile water block cold plates, with two CPUs and four GPUs per one RU tray. This equates to a processor density of four GPUs per rack unit, a 4X increase."

@Uilebheist XD
È l'Adige, ma l'ho presa a caso. Volevo vedere se prendeva un'immagine in po' pesante, perchè @matz aveva problemi a postare immagini.
Alla fine secondo me sono problemi generali di connessione e le immagini non c'entrano per niente.
Però sono problemi di connessione strani...vabbeh. Sto indagando.
Comunque è un fiume.
Lui ha problemi a caricare immagini e a scaricare le notifiche. Sono tutte e due operazioni che richiedono almeno qualche secondo di connessione stabile.
Il server è su e non ha loggato errori.
Direi che è un problema del telefono di Matteo se non fosse che gli succede anche dal mac a casa e quindi con un'altra macchina e un'altra connessione.
Così com'è non me lo spiego.
Stamattina non riuscivo a visualizzare i vostri profili.. volevo prendere l'handle per seguirvi da di quà e mi dava pagina bianca.
@lorenzo @Uilebheist @matz dici sia il mio sia quello di Matteo?
Uhm...
(Incidentalmente ho già detto che non mi piace per niente Pleroma? Non mi piace per niente)
@lorenzo @Uilebheist @matz da snac mi restituisce vuoto l'elenco dei messaggi, ma lo fa con tutti e vedo il mio profilo...
Non so.
Tra l'altro adesso sono sul tablet e non riesco a fare prove. 🫤
Sta cosa è sempre più strana.
Questo te lo confermo facilmente...ma dopo, quando arrivo a un pc.
@lorenzo @matz Non so perché da qui ha *sempre* dato uno schermo vuoto. Il profilo visto dall'istanza funziona, ma se seguio il link "apri il profilo originale" è sempre una pagina vuota.
[edit, tale link in teoria è inviato dall'istanza insieme alle altre informazioni del profilo, e quindi non ha motivo di essere sbagliato...]
uhm...
a me apre direttamente cubalibre e il profilo di Matteo, ma non vuol dire niente perchè sono loggatə qui.
Esco e riprovo.
ok, uhm... anche se mi scollego dal mio utente e provo da zero a caricare il link
y.cubalibre.social/users/matz mi restutisce il profilo correttamente.
Non è che sia un problema di javascript?
Edit: senza javascript mi presenta la pagina bianca.

"The most advanced AI models are becoming bigger, reaching up to 1 trillion parameters and 15 trillion tokens. As a result, model training is taking more time and resources (up to 100 days and 38 billion petaFLOPS, or PFLOPS), while training costs continue to rise (up to $192 million). What about the power required to train one of these models? More than 25 million watts."

The image is a vibrant poster for a live noise event featuring Grim Machine Threads. The background is a mix of pink and yellow, with a brick wall and a framed picture. The central illustration shows a person with a duck head wearing a green shirt and a black apron with the word "PUTSUM" on it, injecting a syringe into a person's arm. The person is wearing blue gloves and is positioned next to a large industrial machine. Above the illustration, the text "GRIM MACHINE THREADS" is prominently displayed. Below the illustration, the event details are written in Greek: "ΣΑΒΒΑΤΟ 17 ΜΑΙΟΥ 2025 ΟΡΑ 21:00 LIVE NOISE." The bottom of the poster features hazard symbols and the text "ΤΑ ΕΣΟΔΑ ΟΑ ΔΙΑΤΕΟΟΥΝ ΓΙΑ Η ΣΤΗΡΙΘΕΝ ΤΗΣ ΥΠΟΓΑΣ." The overall style is graphic and edgy, with a comic book aesthetic.

Trump revives failed drug price plan with promised executive order
Trump revived a failed effort from his first term on an issue he's talked up since even before taking office.
Donald Trump says he’ll sign an executive order on Monday that, if implemented, could bring down the costs of some medications — reviving a failed effort from his first term on an issue he’s talked up since even before becoming president.
Under the planned order, the federal government would tie what it pays pharmaceutical companies for those drugs to the price paid by a group of other, economically advanced countries — the so-called “most favored nation” approach.
It was a rule that Trump tried to adopt during his first term, but could never get through. He signed a similar executive order in the final weeks of his presidency, but a court order later blocked the rule from going into effect under the Biden administration.

看到吵休假立法程序的敘事很頭痛
當在野黨修改法案和否決大法官任命癱瘓憲法法庭，有沒有獲得同等程序關注目光？
還是我們終得承認民主就是利益交換，價值主張只是次要產物？
bbc.com/zhongwen/articles/c0lz…
引文:
在執政黨同時掌控總統與國會「完全執政」時，可能導致15名大法官均由同一位總統提名。國民黨馬英九與民進黨蔡英文在第二任期末期均曾出現這情況，引發憲法法庭過度集中於執政黨的疑慮
..
修法後，加上「不得低於10人」門檻，現有8名大法官就無法開會..12月24日，立法院舉行新任大法官人選投票，朝野無法達成共識，7位被提名者全被否決
..
立法院剛通過憲訴法修正案，大法官人事案就遭藍白陣營全面否決，兩起事件被反對修法者認為「是有計劃的佈局」，讓憲法法庭因大法官人數不足無法召開。
..
經濟民主連合（經民連）召集人賴中強舉例指，這些法案包括修正《兩岸人民關係條例》，將中國籍配偶取得身分證的年限從6年縮短為4年；《離島建設條例》修法，擬在離島設立自由貿易示範區、國際醫療特區，恐讓離島地區成為「一國兩制的實驗區」
..
違憲宣告需要9人的新規定，一兩位就可以否決所有大法官的決定

If you decide to go there, try to avoid the weekends and holidays since it tends to get crowded.
