molson 🧠⚙️ (@Molson_Hart) reportedMy company's best seller, Brain Flakes, sells ~4x as well as they tell you. They say we sold 1K+ units in the last month, but in reality we sold 3,945 on Amazon. This is off-season for us and we have outsold every SKU made by Lego on Amazon in August before (back to school). Is this just a me thing or do our other peoples' products have this problem?

Psomny (@inpsomnyach) reportedI wanted to write down what I thought of Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary (the book, of course), being as careful as possible not to spoil the mood before I finished. In short, I loved it; today was my day off, and I spent every free moment reading. I got the book at 10:00 AM, and here at 10:40 PM, I finished the final page. I am exceptionally relieved to have not been disappointed. This was the first physical book I've gone cover to cover on in months, if not years. That fact is very sad. I would have tried going back over The Wheel of Time, but I lost the first book and... could have ordered it when I ordered this one... God, I think I ordered it yesterday. Amazon has really been kicking *** lately. In any case, this book proved to me that I can thoroughly enjoy written material and still split the sea by running over it. Maybe 500 pages in a full day isn't that impressive, BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT! Most importantly, there was a fear wedged within me that if I tried taking on a big ("big") book, I wouldn't be able to finish it before getting bored of it. Maybe it's on me for using The Wheel of Time as my standard for reading excellence. Maybe I just never read all that much and I'm getting grandiose. What the hell am I saying? I just read ONE book. The real test will be to see if I can keep reading more. My pointless anxiety is focused solely on whether I can find as good of a book again. Sorry most of this review isn't talking about the book, have some semi-specifics as a reward for getting to the end (by skimming, probably): It was a thrilling blast up until the final 3 chapters, at which I began to dread how it would end, since it felt like I could read forever. Then, it ended. And I WAS happy. 10/10

StealthGPT (@stealthgpt) reportedEvery transformative infrastructure wave in American history has had the same villain. The railroad, the highway system, the power grid, cell towers, fiber optics, each one faced the same local opposition, the same apocalyptic op-eds, the same "not in my backyard" energy from people who still wanted the outcome those things made possible. And in every case, the people who lost that fight didn't stop the infrastructure. They just delayed it somewhere else. We're doing it again and this time with AI data centers. The narrative you're supposed to accept is simple: hyperscale data centers are environmental catastrophes burning through the planet's electricity to power chatbots. It's a clean story. It's also wrong in the ways that matter. Let's start with the energy argument, because that's where the fear is. Data centers currently account for about 4.6% of total U.S. electricity consumption. That's a real number. It will grow. But context collapses that argument fast: Agriculture - 1.4% Aluminum smelting - 2% Crypto mining - 2.3% Chemicals production - 5% Steel industry - 6.1% Commercial Buildings - 35% None of these get the same cultural panic. What makes the data center conversation different isn't the actual energy footprint, it's that the output is invisible to most people. You can see a car. You can't see a drug discovery model running inference at 3 AM. Here's what you also don't hear: Google, Meta, and Amazon are collectively the single largest corporate buyers of renewable energy on the planet. In 2024, Big Tech accounted for 43% of all clean energy power purchase agreements signed globally. Nearly half of the world's new clean energy contracts, signed by the same companies the environmental critics say are destroying the grid. But the nuclear story is where the argument gets decisive. In 2024, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, and Meta didn't just buy renewable energy credits. They went further than any industry in American history has gone to solve its own energy problem. Microsoft signed a 20-year agreement to restart Three Mile Island, bringing a shuttered nuclear plant back online exclusively to power its data centers. Google signed the world's first corporate small modular reactor purchase agreement, contracting 500 megawatts across six to seven next-generation molten salt reactors with Kairos Power, with the first unit coming online by 2030. Amazon backed 5 gigawatts of new SMR projects through X-energy. Oracle already has building permits for three SMRs to power a gigawatt-scale data center. Meta issued an RFP for up to 4 gigawatts of new nuclear generation. Small modular reactors are the most significant development in clean energy in decades. They are factory-built, faster to deploy, safer by design, and can collocate directly next to the load they serve. The American nuclear industry had been functionally dormant for a generation. It is now being commercially resurrected by the same companies critics say are an environmental threat. The demand signal created by hyperscale commitments is what makes SMR manufacturing economics viable. Without data center buildout, that technology probably doesn't get funded at scale. This is the part of the conversation that never makes it into the op-ed: the industry accused of destroying the grid is the one financing its reinvention. The compute doesn't disappear if we slow down. Every permit fight, every zoning delay, every "not yet" from a utility commission or municipal government is a decision about where this infrastructure gets built not whether it gets built. China added more new power capacity in 2024 alone than the United States has added in its entire history. Their data center projects move from planning to operation in months. In Northern Virginia, home to the densest concentration of data centers in the world, grid connection delays now stretch to seven years. A developer breaking ground today might not receive power until 2032. Beijing isn't having the zoning debate. They're building. The U.S. currently controls 74% of global high-end AI compute. China holds 15%. That gap is the product of decades of private investment and the infrastructure decisions that enabled it. It is not permanent and will erode exactly the way you'd expect. Gradually, then suddenly. If the country that built the internet decides that the data centers powering the next generation of it are too much of an inconvenience, then its clearly throwing away the privileged position it held in the world in favor of pessimism and defeat. Infrastructure has never been clean or quiet. It has always been expensive, large, and locally unpopular. AI scaling isn't a multi-billion dollar highspeed rail that will never come to fruition, it is pure potential and growth. The countries that built it anyway are the ones writing the terms everyone else operates under, just like it was with the internet. The question isn't whether hyperscale data centers have tradeoffs. They do. The question is whether the alternative, ceding compute leadership to a nation state that isn't us, while patting ourselves on the back for our permitting processes and NIMBYism is actually the outcome anyone wants. Build the infrastructure.

The Brewing Sailor 🍺 (brew checkmark) (@BrewingSailor) reported@LichesWurms @Balam_GF13 There’s nothing to praise. This was shut down because it was too faithful the original. The article states Amazon is still looking to move forward with the property, just with a team that will appeal to a wider audience.

NarangNamita (@narang_namita) reported@letsblinkit you guys suck. I ordered a power bank, and its not working tried reaching out your support they said if the LED is working then we cannot do anything amazon is so much better than you guys no wonder why you are facing loss zero customer support!

Venture Pictures (@venturepictures) reportedTHIS! there was so much goodwill. I gave it some. I defended it. And guess what. Amazon went and did the EXACT same thing all the naysayers said would happen. The way they dropped the news on stream and made it out this was for the fans to then tell us we’re the issue. lol. Wild. Any project that comes next has destroyed what fandom was left active and engaged with the idea of a refresh. You’ve tainted what comes next. Made it sour and pushed out the old guard who made it happen. If I was Amazon, if I was thinking of a reboot, ignoring the past and wanting a “fresh take” so far from what made STARGATE great. Don’t bother. If you wipe out the legacy that came before. You’ve got no chance. GG. I’m going to sleep. I’ve been a keyboard warrior enough tonight. #stargate

Adam David Collings (@adamcollings) reported@EStephenBurnett I am utterly heartbroken. This is a terrible decision. Amazon actually got it right, and then changed their minds. First Snyderverse, now this. I no longer have any confidence in modern TV. Nothing good survives.

tridentxan (@tridentxan) reported@Rakunvar I knew the moment I saw the picture in the delivery notification of it being in that Amazon paper bag on my front porch that my chances of it being in even remotely good condition were low. I didn’t expect it to look like it was ran over with an 18 wheeler, though I’m just glad there wasn’t any big hits in it since all the packs were bent inward like some sort of hotdog bun. First ETB I’ve been able to buy at retail since the scalping / investor-bro craze started and it turns up like this 💀 First two pics are the Gallade, which I managed to mostly fix the bend and mostly flatten the wrinkled foil so it’s not really noticeable unless you look closely. The last two are just two little stacks of the bulk I picked up for the pics. Some packs had it worse than others, but every card out of that ETB looks like this lmao. The sad part is that their support AI bot told me I was only eligible for a refund and that I’d have to return it. I said absolutely not, considering another one shipped and sold by Amazon is almost $100 versus the retail price I paid for. So I spoke to an actual agent and they replaced it after I insisted to show them the pictures. It should be here on Saturday. I asked them to make sure it’s in an actual box this time and that I’ll be recording getting it off the porch and opening it, especially if it’s another paper bag, because this is insane lol I’ve seen posts of tears in the shrink wrap on ETBs, but not ones completely destroyed.

Eliyahu Kamisher (@eli_kamisher) reportedA deeply reported look into Amazon's control over its army of nominally indepdent drivers who are monitored by AI cameras.

Spice 🇨🇦🍁 (@100DollarSpice) reported@_6signxxx 90% of the stuff i bought from amazon 1 day delivery had to be returned because it was either old, not matching the visuals shows on site or broken. What's the point if consumer satisfaction is not your goal but faster delivery of trash is

Ironworks Gaming (@Ziroc_Ironworks) reported@Variety I have a feeling that Amazon wants to bring Stargate back to Vancouver. Also, the budget may be an issue... @AmazonMGMStudio PLEASE make the series. You have a team of VERY passionate writes and directors/producers and many others. I understand wanting it to have a more 'broad appeal'. But Stargate SG1 was always for all ages. Please don't be cliche (you know how Jack O'Neill feels about cliches :) ) and make it ultra woke and about agendas. You see how well that worked for Dr. Who, New Startrek, and others. It will fail if this is done. You have a tent poll MASSIVE IP and you are not making use of it. Please.... work it out. 💫🫡

J-Lo Crafford (@jlocraf) reported@BaronDestructo So sad that Amazon "wasted" the time of all of those people who worked on it the last 6 months, or was making plans to, and of course the last few years, in Martin Gero's case. Of course not every project gets off the ground, but a situation like this is just terrible
-
Philip Hornsey (@Malavoces) reported@Variety This is a terrible idea. Martin Gero was the perfect show runner and now what are they going to do? Bring in someone to euthanize the entire IP? I hear Alex Kurtzman is out of a job. Leave it to Amazon to buy a property with a rabid fan base and then burn the IP in the backyard.

Jeff (@CoolJtj) reported@antibearthesis Data centers. Amazon needs them to run AI. Right now Amazon is building them until they get data problem fixed investors will look at other AI companies that AI has a demand for such as Marvell and Nebius.
-
just doing things (@_abbie_watson_) reported@r3a9an_k_ Amazon regularly deploys 1M square foot data centers and assembly halls in under a year. This is substantially smaller, at <100K sq ft. They’ll have 24/7 shift, and will build the bay in 6 months, no problem. The crawler though? Loaner from NASA? Who knows.

Joe Rutland 🇺🇸 (@JosephRutland5) reportedI know there are people making a killing selling books with AI help. I mean, they let AI write the book, create the cover, upload those books to Amazon...and make money. But...I cannot do that. Why? Because I am a God damned writer and journalist who believes in sitting my *** down and writing with my brain and my hands. Maybe I am missing out on a killing, but I'd rather have a clear conscience knowing that anything I publish has my brain and own hands involved.

Ghost Wiz (@Masterbodyworkr) reported@achilleas_ghost 8 years prior I told him the same thing and that I could fix it but i dint need machines and a bunch of products to sell so I got left out. Same result with about 50$ on amazon and about 20mins a day. 20 years proving it too, ballpart of 11k clients. Not a miss yet! Just sayin

Jason Keenan (@raavin) reported@Scaramucci That's a very American lense Anthony. The people she is talking about aren't creating wealth for their workers, they are hoarding wealth for themselves. There is no trickle down effect. Uber, Amazon, they sold a lie and their workers and others small businesses paid for it.

Hunter Leath (@jhleath) reported@milesrichardson @michaelfreedman well, there are lots of different layers to this answer so hang with me. yes, AWS is definitely partitioning by region to begin with (we know this is the case because AWS promises that data never transits region boundaries unless you explicitly ask), and there are probably a few more layers of partitioning within a region that we don't know about. however, AWS also tells us that "s3 bucket partitions" [specific to your bucket] are based on the "object key prefix". it's pretty simple to think through how this is set up. s3 is made up a "name service" (which maps key names to storage identifiers) and a "storage service" (which maps storage identifiers to actual bytes on disk) the limit of 5.5K IOPS per partition comes from the name service, so they need to [on a per-request basis] figure out quickly which name service your request should be routed to, based on the object prefix they almost certainly do this by hashing a certain number of characters in your object key. they could do all of the characters in the key, but this would make it more challenging to scale up and down the number of partitions you actually use, and it's probably compute-wasteful. if they have an invisible background job that's analyzing, it's probably selecting the best way to slice your requests to get you the most performance with the fewest amount of resources. it *could* be varying the number of characters they look at to partition, but probably not by very much. so then the whole trick here is to get as much entropy into the part of the object key that AWS is looking at to select the name servers. the more random it is, the easier it will be for amazon to split your requests across name services, and the more name services you can be assigned as your IOPS requirements grow.

nathan (@myusernamekl) reported@AugustineOPN @groypergunner @remarks Not at all. Once you grant the goverment power, you’ll never get it back. These checks and balances slow walk it to keep it small. Imagine what the Obama and Biden admins would have done without checks and balances. Biden tried to nationalize Amazon. It’s frustrating but needed.

Thomas (@Thomas52490815) reported@RowdyRick73 No, me and loads of young Stargate fans were excited for this. The issue is people thinking like you that caused this show to be cancelled by telling Amazon that young people don’t want to watch these shows while we really do
-
Robbie Mahrou (@MahrouRobbie) reported@JasonSorens @JoeSweeneyNH Honestly a lot of that I agree with. Regulate actual harm, eliminate permitting barriers, level playing field on energy, get rid of the red tape. All of that makes sense to me. Here's the problem. Your model works when you're talking about market actors who play by the rules until proven otherwise. But we're not talking about a local manufacturer here. We're talking about Meta, Google, Amazon. These are companies that had to be dragged in front of Congress for knowingly feeding soul stealing algorithms to children that were proven to cause harm. They knew. They lied. They did it anyway. That's not an assumed harm. And now we're seeing eminent domain being floated to clear the way for data center infrastructure. So we've gone from "let the market decide" to "let the government take your land for a private corporation." That should bother every Free Stater in NH a lot more than it seems to.
