"When I look around, I see hundreds of billions of dollars being spent on hardware – GPUs, data centers, and power stations. What I don’t see are people waving large checks at ML infrastructure engineers like me and my team." via @petewarden.bsky.social petewarden.com/2025/11/29/i...

When the Wampanoag first fed the Pilgrims they didn't realize they'd just invented Socialism for undocumented refugee immigrants. Happy Thanksgiving.

The Pope may be American but this is pure Eurotrash brilliance from the Chirch

Porting MusicGen models to ONNX, quantizing, and running them on a Pi 4 to build a generative sampler/groovebox. MusicGen runs 7x faster in my barebones ONNX implementation than in transformers!

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Our whole thing in Silicon Valley is that we're supposed to be weird and non-conformist. It's depressing that so many engineers are silent because they're scared of a few bullies at the top of the industry.

#GVerse This 👇 At this point, Schumer is a dinosaur‼️ The DNC needs younger candidates‼️ Resign @schumer.senate.gov time new life, new direction!

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

I've never called a representative before, but I did today! It's so wrong to have millions of people in the party work so hard to achieve the victory we saw on Tuesday, only for the most vulnerable to lose healthcare because a few senators are spineless.

Mamdani is going to implement Shar Law. Everyone will have to bow down to the Mistress of the Night, the Lady of Loss, and devote themselves to bringing about a darkness that will smother her hated foe and sister Selûne

just....enjoy this

One of the few development non-profits with decent evidence to back up its impact is @givedirectly.bsky.social. You don't to tell poor people what to do though, and unfortunately that power trip drives a lot of philanthropy.

We love Halloween in San Francisco!

True fact: I love Taco John's so much, I went out of my way to drive by their corporate HQ in Cheyenne on a road trip through Wyoming. It was the size of a suburban house with a tiny sign. Now I love them even more.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

Exclusive view from inside the frog costume, now apparently the official uniform of antifascism. #nokings forever!

Everything bad in the world is the result of old men being contradicted and/or confronted with their own mortality, is the lesson here

"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells. It is built in the shrug, the silence, the insistence that life can go on as if nothing has changed" Frederick Joseph"A Thought on Normalcy in Fascism" frederickjoseph.substack.com/p/normal-tim...

If low-cost chips and free AI models offer 100% privacy and the same features as big data AI assistants, then how can there NOT be an AI bubble? @petewarden.bsky.social explains why: petewarden.com/2025/10/16/w... @matthewhughes.bsky.social @edzitron.com

did anybody else in the US watch The Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries and feel a visceral jolt when the whole pilot turns out to hinge on the lack of safe access to abortion in 1920s Australia and the women characters’ rage about it like “oh wow okay this show was NOT made in this country”

Even the rocks are #nokings on Bernal Hill, San Francisco.

Hell yeah. Suck it, birds

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go! Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest. /1

Veteran says exactly what he thinks of ICE while they taser a man already on the ground.

Nvidia is like Sun during the dot-com bubble - selling $10k servers that are doomed to be replaced by $500 commodity PCs running the same workloads on CPUs.

My nephew just found my YouTube channel, and solemnly told me my earliest video, from 2007, must have been one of the first on the site.

Join the frog chorus at #nokings! To find the Portland frog costume, search for the makers "jinstabag", it's only about $60.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Here’s video of the incident

The rain has soaked through everything. Your socks just sprouted a mushroom. You haven't smelled decent BBQ since your last night in Texas, before mustering. Suddenly, a metallic creak echoes through the fog. They were coming again. The naked cyclists. "Just four weeks a year," you mutter.

(Forgot to mention this previously) Everyone: Read this book 👇

how many dollars and hours have been spent funding anti-trans bills, articles, “studies”, and media? it must be astronomical a complete waste of resources and for what? to feed vampires who survive on the despair of others

“Fighting doesn’t always result in victory, but surrendering guarantees defeat. The only people who have preserved their dignity or their rights in dealing with Trump are those who have been willing to stand up to him.”

“It's better to be in a minority class, whether that's a sexual minority class, whether that's a racial minority class. There's something better to being underrepresented, to being somehow downtrodden, that should be treated as preferential or better.” This is a load bearing belief for them.

Again, this is a broad coalition of people across the ideological spectrum whose top concern is making sure everyone rues and laments the “Woke Times” forever. It’s very much akin to the myths around “Negro misrule” in Reconstruction, which justified Jim Crow.

god I love customer feedback

I came here on an H1B visa almost 25 years ago. The system was stressful enough back then, my heart goes out to visa holders having to deal with the current chaos. Immigrants just want to work hard, contribute, and find a home here in the US. Nobody deserves the treatment many are receiving.

Trans rights are human rights.

I love Lower Haight, and not just because it was the first place I lived in SF. It's got no name recognition, so the rent isn't bad (by SF standards) so it's full of young folks and locals, but it's part of the Extended Castro Universe so there's always something happening. Dog friendly too!

Also this, which is always a far better version than the recorded one. That extended creeping bass intro hnnnghhh

[politics understander just read the niemoller poem] oh hell yeah thats loads of people before they come for me that will buy loads of time , sick

One of my favorite analyses of the causes of World War I was that nobody could back down, even when standing firm clearly led to a disastrous outcome for everyone, because they all believed doing so would mark them as unmanly. This is the example I always think of when I hear toxic masculinity.

This is what building a party looks like. I'm trying to do my bit, but I wish I saw more support for this from the Democrats.

My startup, formerly Useful Sensors, is now Moonshine AI, so I guess this is the last time I can post this little piece of art from @jowarden.bsky.social
