My wife volunteers during tax seasons to do tax returns for low income people. It always depresses her when people on the lower runs of the ladder come in and have been doing uber, lyft, doordash, etc or some…
Famous studio and touring bassist Lee Sklar has a great youtube channel [1] where he tells war stories and plays along to a few of the thousands of songs he has recorded on over the past 50 years. In one (which I can't…
I'm a 62 year old straight man. I've described the change this way. I've always been able to see a handsome man, say Pierce Brosnan back in the day, and say "he is quite handsome" without have a whit of sexual…
You missed my distinction -- I said that the Chinese companies (like BYD) would eat Tesla's lunch except for they aren't in the US market. The other companies which Tesla does compete with have largely caught up and in…
Why Musk would spend probably tens of millions of dollars on this prototype which clearly will never be drivable on roads. One explanation is he is a trillionaire and the 14 year old in him thinks it would simply be…
As someone who has been programming for nearly 50 years of it, it seems less remarkable.
The Supreme Court ruled that it is 100% constitutional for states to disenfranchise voters based on party affiliation. I am not constitutional expert so I'll take them at their word that this is indeed the case. So…
JD Vance, VP of the USA, recently said that if Watergate happened today it wouldn't last a 24 hour news cycle. I don't know if his intent was to minimize the crime of the acting President ordering a break in of his…
I'm a materialist and man your opinion is going to give materialists a bad name. It is easy to jump from "rabbits are not conscious" to "rabbits can't suffer" to "it is OK to skin rabbits alive". I believe we are all…
It probably means Apple spent the silicon to handle subnormals at full speed in hardware, rather than triggering a slow microcode handler for such numbers.
no. IEEE splits the power of two exponent from the base 2 mantissa. Yes, the exponents are added during a multiply, but the mantissas do an ordinary multiply. The idea is rather than storing a number x as (exponent,…
It was more than one minute.
> her "rational objections" were not be-all and end-all of the situation. I hope this is not what you think my position is. If you want to change someone's mind, you need to understand it. If someone believes false…
I got the covid shot and every booster. I have no qualms about mRNA messing me up, and I think it was a tremendous life saver. As stated, there was also a ton of misinformation floating around, and people believed that…
There is a legitimate discussion of what can be mandated you do to your body. However, that discussion was largely side-tracked by the massive amount of disinformation (eg, "Plandemic") that circulated online. There are…
Which is worse, when people noun verbs, or when they verb nouns?
nvidia doesn't make chips -- nvidia designs chips and TSMC or Samsung or whatever foundry makes the chips. nvidia can't build either GPUs or ASICs.
I've experienced this recently. My wife has osteoporosis and her doctor told her to eat sardines with bones to get more calcium. She doesn't like eating them straight, so she makes hummus and blends in two cans of…
First convince the DRAM suppliers to drop their prices for you and then maybe nvidia will drop the DGX price for you too.
It is really fast and ... really hallucinates. I asked "Does the Wang corporation still exist? If not, what happened to it?" and it replied (in part): "Yes, the Wang Corporation, the company that originally developed…
The article claims: > The Z80 is fully binary compatible with the 8080 instruction set. It wasn't in regards to the flag register. The parity flag behaved differently for some ops. And of course it would be possible to…
The sailing-around-the-world (and similar) market is obviously miniscule. The isolated communities probably tend to be on the less affluent part of the world, so it doesn't seem to justify a 100x expansion.

I often embarrass my daughter when she has some new friend over. If the topic comes up, I give a demonstration. I'm 62 and I've never tried to get a tan and work indoors, and I haven't had a serious sunburn in close to…
