    Again, y’all just need to search for posts with the word “speech” made by Johnny Sack . . . to realize he’s completely full of shit and simply trolling

    Oh I’m quite capable of realizing Sack is full of shit without going to all that trouble.

    My favorite is when you're in a board meeting about to vote on something (and I've been in 2 where we were deliberating and about to vote on someone's future - hiring/firing - and this happened) and someone rolls out something to the effect of "I've prayed about this and God has led me to know that _________."

    I would respond “I also prayed about this last night and God told me he was just fucking with you.”

    Same way several dozen DPS troopers in riot gear happened upon the site within minutes.  Even given the geographic proximity, a deployment like that without an advanced briefing doesn't "just happen."  This was set to occur last night/early this morning.  For performative purposes 

    You’re not answering the question. Someone at UT had to tell those fucksticks what was about to happen. Abbott didn’t divine it himself.

    This is Abbott, Longoria, and Eltife.

    And how did those three catch wind of the plans of a UT student organization?

    My larger worry is he won't give up the goods on the folks up the food-chain that fucked him and our school on this. 

    Thats what I’m saying. You’re fucked either way, Jay. Why not grow a pair and stand up for what’s right, rather than carry water for authoritarian shitbags?

    a good chunk of people seriously believe these protests are nothing but about anti-semitism. 

    And if there’s any group that uniformly opposes antisemites, it’s MAGA Republicans.

    There was no violence, nor threat of violence, except from the fucking cops.

    Well that is certainly a surprising and unprecedented turn of events!

    The fact that the President's office nor the Chancellor's office have said a word about it yet gives me even greater pause.  

    In recent years, I have grown more and more ashamed of my affiliation with the University of Texas. Today did not help.

    They also get out of control by letting fucking idiot kids do whatever they think they want to do.  Look at the fucking idiocy going on in the Northeast.  

    What precisely do you think is going on? All accounts I’ve seen so far have indicated that the protests at Columbia, Yale, etc. have been peaceful.

  10. On a more global note, this movement has real potential to impact the election. College students should be Biden’s bread and butter. In 2020, exit polls showed Biden won 18-29 year olds at a clip of 60-36. And I found one pre-election poll that showed college students preferred Biden over Trump 70-18. 

    But this Israel-Palestine issue could erode Biden’s support in this demographic. I doubt it would shift votes to Trump, but it might shift them to some whack job like Kennedy.

    This makes absolutely no sense and is nothing like what lead to AWS. Elon is just talking out of his asshole.

    Yeah I’m not talking about the practicality of the overall concept which, as I understand it, is to use idling EVs to provide computational capacity for AI. I'm asking specifically about the terminology he used. “Kilowatts” does not seem like an appropriate unit for computational capacity. Seems like that should be expressed in flops. But I’m not a computer engineer.

    “There’s a potential... when the car is not moving to actually run distributed inference,” Musk said. “If you imagine the future perhaps where there’s a fleet of 100 million Teslas and on average, they’ve got like maybe a kilowatt of inference compute. That’s 100 gigawatts of inference compute, distributed all around the world.”

    I’m still trying to figure out what Musk is claiming here. Maybe it makes sense to CS/CE types. But it seems like he’s muddling power and computational capacity. In other words, that’s just fancy technobabble to say “Our cars have a battery and a computer and we can use those when they’re not being driven.”
