I don’t know, I think I’m still calling the outcome a win for Kirk. He really got what he wanted, guns are readily available to all the white right people.
Actually, I think everyone got what they wanted, conservatives got to pretend to stand on moral high ground for a month, and progressive got one less Charlie Kirk. Win, win, win.
Which you can do starting at like 15! So it all works out.
Hah
Please please please… please Nvidia? Can regular people please still have computers?
…
Meh, nevermind. AMD and Intel can have your consumer business, I’m fine with that too. Surely this AI trend isn’t a bubble, and there’s absolutely no way you’ll regret this later. Best of luck.
Yeah, just super weak.

Ok, let’s use that example. So imagine you had a large square of rubber and you drew a coordinate plane on it. Then you drew a line segment between points (1,1) and (3,1). You can stretch the rubber until it’s significantly longer, but your line is always exactly 2 units long, even if the rubber stretches.
The thing is, space is the geometry of the universe, it’s what all the various particles in the universe are bound to. Matter isn’t fixed to any point relative to other matter, it’s fixed to a point in space. So if space bends, matter bends with it.
This is how/why orbits work. Gravity is mass warping spacetime. Fast objects like photons sail right on by most stars with their courses barely changed. But slower moving objects like planets are experiencing this local warping of spacetime for a longer period, so it affects them more over time. The thing to note though, is that the planets, and photons are both following newtons first law, they’re traveling in a straight line unless acted upon by another object. The reason the planet orbits the star is that the star has warped space such that (given speed the planet is traveling) an orbit is a straight line.
Not the swedish chef? Think about it… could be good.
Another problem is that the laws of cosmic expansion affects the wire itself. There would be no tugging force between the two bodies. Connecting the two bodies imposes a constraint on them, disrupting the Hubble flow.
This was my first thought on the matter. My understanding at least, is that the expansion of the universe is not really galaxies moving away from each other, but rather the space between the galaxies expanding (stretching). So if a mythril wire ran far across that space between galaxies, one of two things would most likely happen. Either the space would not expand almost like it’s pinned in place by the existence of matter in that region, or the space would continue to expand and the mythril wire would appear to stretch with it, though actually it would be remaining entirely still, either way, the wire would not be unspooling at all.
I think it’s pretty clear from this graph that the macOS is eating their lunch, and to a lesser extent, Linux.
Well iOS only shows up on the graph right at the end, in 2025. You’ll note that it correlates perfectly with a large drop in MacOS. This must be people using an iOS browser on their Mac, this is possible if you’re mac has Apple silicon. I don’t know why people would do that, but that’s what it looks like.
Ok, I get that. But what’s the water for?
My in-laws are coming to stay in our spare room for the holidays. They’re old and getting to be a bit frail these days, what should I put in their room to make them more comfortable?

Can you explain that sentence?
Well put.
That’s the thing, they only have any interest in “innovative new uses for AI”, they aren’t interested in delivering power, so they’re going to do a shitty job of it, they’re going to make a mess that we’ll all be left with.
Additionally, if they connect their power to the grid at all, then they need to work seamlessly or the entire grid is at risk. Again, the aspect of their business they don’t care about at all has to work seamlessly…
Don’t get me started on nuclear, just no. They don’t get to play with isotopes.
The risks here are huge, the potential consequences are disastrous to both the economy and the environment. And the potential rewards are what? Lining the pockets of AI grifters? Pushing expensive technology that nobody wants?
Driver could shoot the HSI douche in the head and I’d say self defense isn’t murder.
I wouldn’t want to test that in court. That’s the kind of case only a white person could win.
And with font discussions comes this guy…
Well that was a fascinating and hilarious read. Thanks for posting that!
That said, 2006 was a long time ago now, I think that kind of issue with the calibri font in particular is going to become less and less relevant.
One of the now public films is the war film “Hell’s Angels” (about fighter pilots, not bikers). It’s directed by Howard Hughes, I thought “that’s odd” because he was an airplane designer, not a director; so I looked it up on Wikipedia. The more I read the more Hughes’ project sounded like a parallel to dumb shit Elon is doing, buying a social media outlet… okay, making a major motion picture… sure, firing a third of the company and running it into the ground… predictable, getting several people killed during filming and never recouping the cost of production… wow.
Hughes has a reputation as an eccentric reclusive genius, he designed some great aircraft, he made a lot of money, but he was problematic whenever he stepped out of his lane. We’re probably lucky he never got into politics.
But here’s what really caught my eye, (I’ll quote from the Wikipedia page).
I’m not sure if Hughes really “learned his lesson” from that, but I’m willing to bet that coming that close to death would affect anyone. How do we get Elon to do anything that would actually give him pause? How do we get him a life altering experience (not necessarily a near death experience, but I’m not oppressed to that either)?
