Dragging up again

You’re talking out of your ass. This county commission put a moratorium on datacenter permitting the same week.

Bullshit. Prove it. If you could do that you’d win an easy lawsuit against the county.

If they were so pro datacenter they’d be willing to get sued over unequally applied procedural rules then why did they put a moratorium on datacenter permitting.

Oh weird no response. Everybody knows it but apparently there’s no evidence and nobody wants the massive payout.

Suck my dick moron. You’re not being crushed under the boot of tyranny by a county government meeting’s procedural rules. You hypocritical idiots just think that because somebody is on your side that they should be exempt from the rules. To go a step further and call them not getting special treatment oppression is astoundingly stupid.

Freedom of speech does not mean you get to exercise it anywhere at any time any way you want. I’m disappointed that 404 is just leaning in to the outrage economy clickbait, I thought they had potential.

Like no shit, if you’re warned multiple times to comply with procedural rules or be removed they’re going to have you removed. You might even be arrested for refusing to comply when a sheriff is giving you a lawful order to leave, crazy.

*I guarantee you unprincipled hypocrites wouldn’t be crying about muh freezepeach if this was some chud getting dragged out of a seattle city council meeting for the exact same thing. Are you people self aware enough to realize that you’re hypocrites or are you just so addicted to the outrage machine that you don’t really think about it and it just washes over you?

>have a [non-specific] degree

Ok, and? Is it a degree in something somebody will pay you for or am I supposed to feel bad that your degree in medieval polish history doesn’t entitle you to an easy and well paid office job where you send emails and don’t have to meaningfully alter material reality?

*downvoters be like ‘it doesnt matter! they’re a more fulfilled and well rounded person’ ok good for you, nobody is going to pay you to be self-fulfilled. Your personal enrichment is not economically in demand. You have to be kind of stupid to not consider the supply/demand of the degree you get before you spend tens of thousands of dollars to get it.

I guess it makes sense that the people who could never understand his sense of humor in the first place are having even more trouble with it now that his mental decline has really degraded his ability to deliver it semi-competently.

But if you think he’s seriously announcing his bid for reelection at the WH correspondents’ dinner you are just choosing to believe what you want to believe. He’s a narcissist, if he was doing this earnestly he would want rapturous applause. He would do it at the biggest rally he could muster.

Couldn’t be that a video would reveal the actual state of his health so they went with a picture.

He was barely presentable in front of a camera before this happened. Obviously he’s in rough shape and they don’t want to reveal how rough.

Lemmy has decided on a narrative to believe so no evidence will be enough. Couldn’t be that a video would reveal the actual state of his health so they went with a picture. No, obviously it’s a deepfake. If they release a video that’ll be a deepfake or a body double.

If they were in a position to get away with lying so brazenly with a fake proof of life they wouldn’t need to bother with the pretense.

I wish I had the brain disease that made me willing believe anything as long as it serves a convenient narrative. Seems more fun.

It was already linked in the vice post.

You are really stupid dude. I’m not standing up for open AI, you are the only person standing up for a business. It’s just the business is a clickbait farm.

You craving manufactured schadenfreude is not activism.

You’re so based for standing up for the clickbait rag that is modern vice. Even if you have the reading comprehension of a grade schooler.

Ok and you put more thought into the framing of this story than the author of the vice post(I will not call that an article) did. If you think there isn’t an anti-datacenter circlejerk and this wasn’t bait for it I don’t know what to tell you. High value cargo theft did not start because of datacenters, but you definitely only heard about this one because of the huge appetite for anti-datacenter news.

That’s what I mean by circlejerk. Things that are not actually particularly exceptional are being treated like major news stories because people crave confirmation bias and schadenfreude. This vice post is one of the most transparent examples of the outrage economy that I’ve seen in a while.

Do you think pretending that thieves doing what they have always done is now epic and based is somehow hurting AI companies?

Clickbait circlejerk slop. Every construction site is a target for thieves. This is just low effort clickbait made to pander to the anti-datacenter circlejerk, you could at least have linked instead to the business insider article this is ripping off.

I’m pretty definitely sure the photo is AI too, it’s certainly not the Muttsee dam.

‘confirms the energy is there’ buddy it’s the sun, we already know it’s there. It doesn’t make sense to install capacity at 12 euros per watt when you can install capacity for 1 euro per watt or whatever the numbers actually are. I would be shocked if transmission losses are anywhere even close to cost efficiency losses.

The swiss do this sort of thing because they have the money to burn and place a high emphasis on aesthetics. They probably think this is less of an eyesore than ground mount so that makes it worth it for them.

I could have sworn I looked this up recently, I might have been thinking of Austria.

*oh that figure includes combustion heating, I think I saw their domestic electricity production mix.

I normally really hate spiders but for some reason jumping spiders are cute enough to bypass the arachnophobia. But there is something deeply unsettling about making eye contact with and appreciating one of these little guys but realizing your face is conceivably within jumping range.

Switzerland is one of the only countries where it makes any sense to do this kind of nonsense because they’re already almost completely on renewable power. I shudder to think of how high the installation cost per watt is when you need rope access teams drilling into concrete. Some IRATA certified electrician probably bought a vacation home with the money from just this project.

‘wow the panels are 50% more efficient during winter, and it only cost 1000% more to install compared to a conventional rooftop’

*Ok I checked, it cost about 3.6 CHF per nameplate watt. Roughly double residential rooftop solar in Switzerland, which itself is again about double what a ground mount array costs. So still bad, not nearly as bad as I thought. This also is only the original install cost. Apparently they’ve had to do significant repairs, including replacing 270 panels, because of snow and ice damage. From the bit of extra research I did on this I think the primary purpose of this install was to ease the path to getting more alpine solar installation approved. Because this definitely isn’t economically viable and I don’t think they expected it to be. But there is potential for economically viable alpine solar farms if they can get approval for development.

**By the way this article and the image for it are AI slop, the actual install is slightly less absurd than the article makes it look.
