They are ridiculously inefficient at full plane cruise, but if you're ok with puttering around you can have a lot more fun before the tanks are empty. But a takeoff into planing for when somebody is on skis or a wakeboard, yeah, you just paid a dollar for thirty seconds I was talking to a guy at the marina who caretook one of the medium-sized yachts. A trip from Seattle up to the San Juan islands for a weekend was burning something like $30k in gas.

the guardian's tech newsletter had a great remark about what twitter has become:quote:Imagine a world where 4chan inexplicably became a major government comms channel, and you’re pretty close to where we are right now. Surely this will have no long-term consequences.

microsoft did the submerged datacenter research project like a decade ago and the crypto dorks have been grifting on sealand but with computers for a quarter century so somebody is just dusting off the plans for another go I guess we know where the orders for $5b NVIDIA GPUs from Chinese companies that were blocked by export control are going. crypto figured out that they could get to do whatever they wanted cheaper by just going to texas

one can love the idea of offshore seafaring compute platforms and also love watching cryptobros fail over and over at building and maintaining them. It's like space x: either we get cool rockets which is fun as a nerd, or we get to laugh at elon musk when those same rockets (frequently) blow up, which is fun as a hater.

for me the key difference is that spacex is a genuinely innovative company owned by an rear end in a top hat whose products have the potential for real benefit to society and space exploration, whereas the ai barges can do nothing but pollute, generate spam, and facilitate crime

also the only reason for seasteading is to facilitate various forms of ultracrime, humans have lived on water for thousands of years just not 12+ miles from land because the ocean does not gently caress around and fresh water is a good thing for humans to remain alive
