Making stuff
It would be kind of funny if the ai bubble pops because a little factory in the north of Italy can’t make the forgings for an important bit of power infrastructure fast enough

Went back and forth to Paris in one day and it's fast through the Netherlands, very Belgium between Antwerp and Brussels, and suddenly all the cars are going backwards on the highway at 160km/h when you enter France

I’m definitely not, but it’s going to be extremely funny if they have warehouses of GPU’s that can’t be used, because the lead time for a new high voltage transformer is three years.

I’m also wondering who is going to build the power stations. 26GW is more power than several countries can generate, and building a new power station plus related infrastructure takes longer than a datacenter.

This is Madelief, a cat that really prefers to hang out at the train station to relax and get pet by loads of people. And it’s always nice to see her when I have to be at the station

I know just enough about the period to be interested, and would like to learn more about it. It does sound like a lot of extra research work on top of all the other things though.

If spending less time here means spending more energy hanging out with friends, or doing creative endeavors? Go for it.

I’m getting flashbacks to the time I tried to get into an Alcatel switch. (It has a different pinout on the console port and doesn’t work with a Cisco console cable. It has to be special)
