we can't figure out roman concrete

we don't know how ancient megaliths were built

centuries old cathedrals and holy places have more intricate masonry and carvings than anything built today (with allegedly more primitive tech)

are historians retarded? what's going on here? time is flowing backwards and civilization is declining, but humanity is under a collective trance and can't even see it.


> time is flowing backwards and civilization is declining

Why do you think civilization is declining?


you can see it clearly in architecture alone. cathedrals and other ancient constructions are far more impressive than what we build today - they obviously had more prosperity and will for greatness than modern man.

and it doesn't take much of a leap to understand the people who built them were more advanced than officialdom gives them credit for. we are in a period of soullessness, and while we have made technological strides - and are probably in a needed period of materialism to make these strides - in order to move back 'forward' in time we need to integrate both the material and spiritual.

> second coming of jesus is about to reveal himself

this, the arc of the covenant news, UAPs, solar storms, PNW & midwest storms, fires, etc... wouldn't be surprised at this point. its actually becoming somewhat mainstream to believe that a 'cataclysm' is coming given recent events.


It has always been mainstream, it's central to the narative in the most owned book in the world.


because that's how much its worth


Its not though. For consumer computers somewhere 1k-4k there's nothing better. But for the price of 512gb of RAM you could buy that + a crazy CPU + 2x 5090s by building your own. The market fit is "needs power; needs/wants macOS; has no budget" which is so incredibly niche. But in terms of raw compute output there's absolutely no chance this is providing bang for buck


2x 5090s would only give you 64GB of memory to work with re:LLM workloads, which is what people are talking about in this thread. The 512GB of system RAM you’re referring to would not be useful in this context. Apple’s unified memory architecture is the part you’re missing.


How much VRAM do you get on those 2x 5090s?

How much would it cost to get up to 512gb?


Do you understand that it's UNIFIED RAM, so it doubles as vRAM? I would love to know what computer you can build for <10k with 0.5TB of VRAM.


The polls were herded to show ~50/50 support in order to prop up Harris. In reality, she never stood a chance.


Polls seemed pretty accurate.

Look at PA polls: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general...

The last 2 polls had Harris at 49, and 48. She ended up at 48.5%. Last 2 polls for Trump were 50 and 49. He ended up at 50.5%.

https://apps.npr.org/2024-election-results/pennsylvania.html...

Similar story for Wisconsin, (Harris polls 49 and 48; result: 48.9% and Trump polls 50 and 49; result: 49.7%) and Michigan (Harris polls 48 and 48; result: 48.3% and Trump polls 50 and 50; result: 49.8%)

Despite the end result, it was really was a minor polling error away from a Harris victory.

Also, FWIW, the total 3rd party vote in WI and MI was greater than the margin of victory for Trump in those states.


if it’s just exposure you are looking for, you can buy any of the ETFs in your brokerage, but sadly there is no way to send the actual BTC to a wallet.


ETH supply has decreased since the switch to PoS and BTC supply has increased fyi


It's possibly backed greater than 1:1. Tether likely cleaned up their operations over the past few years, but the "Tether Truthers" are still anxious about fraud. Even more transparency is welcome of course.

> Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick on CNBC:

> "I'm a big fan of this stablecoin called Tether...I hold their treasuries. So I keep their treasuries, and they have a lot of treasuries. They're over $90 billion now, so I'm a big fan of Tether."

> Tether also reported all time high excess reserves of $2.44 billion.

a callback to the old IRC days


I still maintain that IRC is better than Discord. It was so nice to have "real" servers.
