Bruh you don’t even have to be using lemmy to use lemmy. I seen @mastadon people all the time up in here.

Clearly not a gooner

catbox.moe for the win

Well I can’t really blame Tuesday per se… but their primary was generally a disappointment. And it came on the heals of some other progressive L’s, where just, it seemed like the terminally online component of the left (the tankie-crats) were self-destructing on the only even decent people in those races. At the same time, the field was incredibly “mid” and there was a general sentiment of “this is the best you can do California?” and the results were as disappointing as we expected them to be.

Two races in particular: The governors race and the house race to replace Pelosi. And like with many of the NYC races, these are safe blue seats, so the primary is everything. First with the house race, its a very important seat because its SFO, and like a very very safe seat; whoever won is going to be in congress for easily 40 years. Saikat was the progressive in the race, but local DSA kinda self destructed, and they had trouble gaining a local edge because they also failed to get AOC’s endorsement. I really blame this one on AOC. I don’t think she endorsed because of local DSA, but it really left a turd floating in the punchbowl to not do so.

The second dissapointment is Steyer. And yeah. Maybe California needed to do better in terms of fielding candidates, but at a certain point, you go with what you got.

Then there was the LA race and its associated drama.

Just across the board CA kinda blew it. And not just on election night but in the whole run-up.

Trying to stay positive in these largely positive and great outcomes, but man, it really is putting highlighter down on how disappointing California’s results were.

I’m litterally shocked. It took about 30 minutes, I restarted and its working like it was no-thing-but-a-chicken-wing…

Machine learning.

It’s a strix halo machine so I can go big on ram (up to 128gb).

Currently it’s set up for a research project that’ coming to an end. In this paper we’re using time series climate and satellite imagery data to model the long term climate and ecological impact of plantation agriculture.

I basically paused updating because the set up was working and I didn’t want to have it break on me mid project.

edit: also used for piss and shit posting

Platner can be divisive

Only to those with either thin skin, a sense of entitlement about what kinds of people should be allowed access to political power, or who don’t have a coherent theory of change.

Look. I’m a veteran. I drank that kool-aid and won the poverty draft lotto. I literally signed up for tacos. Understanding the imperialist machine from the inside changes you. And veterans have been representative in the fight against fascism in the US the whole time. And I’ve worked with every one in those links. Many of them were raised as conservative assholes. And for some of them it took their buddy getting blown up in the humvee next to them to wake up to the consequences of imperialism. And you should have the grace to allow people to change.

i’m like 80/20 if this is just going to straight bork the machine.
