Note how small the wafers are for optical components. And a photo of an evaporator in the Broadcom fab. A system I haven’t seen in ~40 years.

Would pay-per-view to watch DJT say retrocession without a teleprompter.

You can't even get a single conservative to admit Republicans brought this onto themselves huh? Just a completely intellectually bankrupt movement. Top to bottom from the highest elected official to the random talking head to the rando anon person on social media its all trash.

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

How Amazon’s AI Algorithms Raise the Prices You Pay Amazon can steer market-wide prices without ever colluding—exposing a gap in antitrust law that the FTC is now fighting to close.

1. Amazon has built powerful pricing algorithms that have learned how to steer prices upward — not just on Amazon, but across the web. I have a new piece on how these algorithms work, and how they help sustain Amazon’s monopoly.

Made keema with carne picada para tacos, which translates to minced meat for tacos. It is precut meat from the local Mexican butcher, with a much better texture than ground beef.

Not pre-seasoned.

Will definitely do this again.

AIs take a variety of different forms and genders around the world, shaped by local customs and culture, but they are most commonly depicted as monsters who punish workers for misbehaving. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogeyman

“Voltron of financial disembowelment.”

Would pay for that on a shirt.

Thanks. I can remember that.

This reminds of ships vs boats.

I can’t remember which vessels are which, except submarines are boats.

But, lord, I would not choose to explain the difference to a USN or RN veteran.

NB: I know even less about firearms.

Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want Did the tech industry get high on its own supply?

You are very measured. Wow. Known crank is putting it mildly.

Thank you. Well put

Men with white-collar jobs stopped wearing ties.

Yikes and double yikes

Also, Verizon makes a LOT of their revenue selling services to … workers. What does your future revenue prediction look like at 30% unemployment?

He’s not going to make it up selling leased lines to data centers.

Someone should ask the Verizon CEO, “if there will be 20 to 30% unemployment, isn’t the solution to tax corporations much more, and workers much less?” With follow up, “isn’t universal health care and UBI the next obvious step in a society that doesn’t demand violent reprisals against the execs?”

Take a basic photoshop class on blending modes.

You know how "may their memory be a blessing" is a traditional Jewish phrase of condolence? "May their name and memory be erased" is the also-traditional equal and opposite sentiment.

My Way (Paul Anka, J. Revaux, C. Francois) YouTube video by David Frye - Topic

Have you heard this version by David Frye?

From the comedy album, Radio Free Nixon.

I heard this version *before* Sinatra’s. Because Sinatra was on the oldies station when I was a teen, and we avoided that like the plague.

To be clear: some of the people I love most in this world are trans, and if you do anything — from prejudice, ignorance or malice — to make their lives more difficult, then I will work to oppose you and expose you as the shitty excuse for a human being that you are.

Trans rights are human rights.

He is the Energy Secretary. The journalist should ask him a question that shows some thought about *his role.*

The straight is closed, so,
1. What are the consequences if it doesn’t open in a week? In a month?
2. [assume he says US doesn’t get oil from the Gulf] but oil is priced globally.

Etc

My former employer supplied chips for the internet-connected Barbie. None of us (engineers) thought it was inevitable or good. No one said, “let’s buy it for our kids or relatives’ kids.”

We also worked on chips in the PS4 & PS5. Everyone bragged about that.

Draw your own conclusions.

The deliciousness of comparing Trump to a Black African leader. Chef’s kiss for how it would make him squirm.

I am reminded of a National Lampoon “News” headline from the era, ‘Thousands killed in months-long bus crash in Uganda.” (From memory)

Trump would take that as something to emulate.

I am just slightly older than Charlie. (B. 1961)

Am I weird for liking music from *every* decade since the 1960s? Honest question, non-snark.

Not all popular music, to be clear. But that was true in my high school years, too.

engage in forbidden sexual intercourse, the Gemara notes that Rav Yehuda says that Rav says: There was an incident involving a certain man who set his eyes upon a certain woman and passion rose in his heart, to the point that he became deathly ill. And they came and asked doctors what was to be done with him. And the doctors said: He will have no cure until she engages in sexual intercourse with him. The Sages said: Let him die, and she may not engage in sexual intercourse with him. The doctors said: She should at least stand naked before him. The Sages said: Let him die, and she may not stand naked before him. The doctors suggested: The woman should at least converse with him behind a fence in a secluded area, so that he should derive a small amount of pleasure from the encounter. The Sages insisted: Let him die, and she may not converse with him behind a fence.

reject modernity (online r*pe academy), embrace tradition (the Beit Midrash telling a man to die)

That name takes me back to the beginning of my time playing RPGs.
