  • Given the price of RAM and graphics cards, it is obvious that running LLM is at least somewhat limited by the amount of hardware available. So having that hardware sitting idle, except when there is too much solar power, is obviously not economically viable.

  • you’d be a fool not to see its instability rooted in US/Israel/UK domination goals.

    Yes the US has fucked up bigly in Iraq and Iran. There is a pattern - fuck Republicans.

    But in many cases, the US has also created stability. The 1991 Gulf War was fundamentally a stability exercise - Iraq started that war by invading Kuwait. Likely Saddam would gladly have invaded Saudi Arabia, if the US had not enforced the status quo in the region.

    The US was the world's policeman. Sometimes they did some shit, but sometimes they kept the peace. Over all, I think people were glad they were there. But keeping the peace involves force or the threat of force sometimes, and it seems to me that some people only see the violence or threat of violence, and not the peace created. As in the 1991 Gulf War, for example.

    Iran was quite repetitive, but spoke much more eloquently than the US.

    Iran's political leadership has shown far more competence than Trump's administration, no question. Trump apparently started this war without knowing that Iran would close the straight of Hormuz, which random people on the street would have known would happen. Trump's administration is literally idiots - not just people I disagree with.

  • Iran says Hormuz open to all but ‘enemy-linked’ ships

    Jump

  • if Iran hit it, it’s because they got a tip Israel or the US’ dickhead billionaires were involved,

    Iran's proxy the Houthis made a promise to also only hit enemy ships. And then shot at everything that moved - ships were sunk where people could see no connection.

    It is quite reasonable to doubt how precise Iran is here...

  • Generally it gets a bit muddy at such a stage.

    I think international law is actually pretty clear, in general. You don't get to shoot at every ship that moves.

    Are trade ships that are trading with the enemy, not expressly and officially guaranteed by Oman not valid targets

    Iran is shooting all the ships. It is pretty clear that "legality" is not a concern Iran has.

    If anything, Iran, in its desperation, is fighting well against the superest most bigliest ultra fascist state in the making.

    This seems to be the root. You see that Trump/USA is evil here, which it is. And then somehow conclude that Iran must be good, if Iran is fighting against Trump.

    Iran is evil too. Fucking evil. Killing innocent civilians deliberately and laughing at it evil.

    There is a trend of ignoring how evil some of the Muslim groupings in the Middle East are. That has got to stop. It almost seem like "white man's burden" - as if people think Muslims don't have agency to know right from wrong.

  • They are fully allowed to close it

    According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), ships have a right to transit international straits like the Straight of Hormuz. Article 38 to be exact: https://www.un.org/depts/los/convention_agreements/texts/unclos/unclos_e.pdf

    at least on their side of the strait.

    And as you say, their side. But it is quite clear that Iran has closed the whole thing, also the part Iran has no right to.

    Whether Oman is a party in this war (given their harboring of US bases and military assets) is up to debate.

    Has Oman allowed attacks from the bases (I don't actually know)? If not, then Oman is not party to the war. But it seems pretty clear that Iran would not restrain itself in either case, right?

    And in any case, this is civilian ships, which are not valid targets even in a war.

  • Trump's Kobayashi Maru

    Jump

  • So he is saying that Iran is not responsible for *checks notes* Iran selectively and deliberately hitting ships of third party nations not involved in the war? That is not how moral responsibility works. How old is he, 5 years old?

  • save this one for later ;)

  • There is zero chance that MAGA will look at the Trump quote, and say "you know what, you have a point, I can't be mad at you for celebrating Trump's death without being a hypocrite".

  • don't worry, be happy

    Jump

  • Yes - but you can choose any point to stand on. So all arbitrary separations in to "East" and "West" are equally valid.

  • Trump threatens to 'obliterate' Iran's power plants if Strait of Hormuz isn't opened in 48 hours

    Jump

  • You know that Hamas entered Israel and took lots of innocent civilian hostages, right? Which Israel enetered Gaza to get back. Hence, Israel had an extremely good reason to enter Gaza.

  • Wrestling terminology is once again best for describing MAGA. There are certainly "smarks" who know and don't care, yes. But there is surely also plenty of "marks", who believes it is reality. Remember how stupid the average person is.

  • Trump threatens to 'obliterate' Iran's power plants if Strait of Hormuz isn't opened in 48 hours

    Jump

  • Often it is the case (and documented) that Hamas deliberately used hospitals and residential buildings to shoot from, or for other military purposes. In that case, by the laws of war, Israel is actually allowed to level those buildings - and Hamas are the ones who committed a war crime. A fact that often seems utterly lost in social media posts. Often in war, a party will retreat from or surrender a city, rather than shoot from the buildings, if the defending party is not a death cult.

    Power plants can be military targets, and as such valid to bomb. But... Trump has pretty much stated here that he is bombing them as terror against civilians, which is a war crime. So Trump is arguably behaving worse than Israel.

  • That's how the world works.

  • You will need to do a small amount of research on planting times

    And climate zone. There are many places where it is too cold.

  • JD Vance gloats that allies are 'suffering more than US' from high gas prices

    Jump

  • You surely need a lot of oil tankers to sail oil across the Pacific Ocean - because each voyage takes so long. And there needs to be export oil terminals in the US towards Asia, which I assume there isn't currently, because Asia was supplied by the Middle East.

    So a priory doesn't seem too surprising to me, that there is a price spread.

  • JD Vance gloats that allies are 'suffering more than US' from high gas prices

    Jump

  • Does lifting sanctions on a country that you’re at war with the smart thing to do? Literally helps to fund their enemy.

    It is not a zero sum game. Letting the oil through, and thereby preventing the world market from a total tail spin, probably helps the US more than it helps Iran. So is on the surface surprising, but surprisingly rational on second look.

  • JD Vance gloats that allies are 'suffering more than US' from high gas prices

    Jump

  • I’m pretty sure he thinks allies of the US are beta males that follow the US alpha male…

    Vance said Trump was "America's Hitler". Before Vance realized that he could get power by supporting Trump.

    You seem to be using "he thinks" in the sense "Vance genuinely believes". I am not convinced Vance believes anything, his actions look like pure opportunism.

  • I actually don't understand what Carlin is saying, then. "The wars I don't like are bad"?

    An overbroad and often false generalization is not a good joke. So yes, it isn't much of a joke.
