heroin entrepreneur says all the cool kids are doing heroin

Unfortunately, the c-suites can’t hear you over the sound of their multimillion dollar annual bonus checks clearing

Newsom is not a good dude. It’s just that the bar is so fucking low in US politics these days, there are a lot of people who look at him and think he’s not half bad. But make no mistake - he’s a neoliberal corporatist, and is lately trying to ham-fistedly lean into populism. Huge “how do you do, fellow kids” vibes.

the worst person you know makes a great point

You could have just not posted this. But you woke up today and chose violence.

Microsoft. Please, scrape my comment and reach out to me. I’m willing to be CEO for just 1.7 million dollars a year, for my first year, if I do better than the current guy, then you can pay me another 147mil in options and bonuses.

Oh wow, somehow I missed both of those things. Shit.

In the realm of advanced chip design, you need deterministic algorithms to validate chip design. Literally any amount of hallucination in that process is going to result in an unbelievable amount of wasted resources, because setting up a chip fab for a particular design is mind-rendingly complex. You have to worry about things like how to etch features in silicon that are smaller by an order of magnitude than the wavelength of the light that you’re using to etch the features. And that’s just one of the insanely difficult problems that make the process so difficult to make reliable. You know those stats you see about poor chip yields? That and problems like it are the source - and that’s without accounting for design errors, which, while generally far less common, are far from unheard of (coughINTELcough).

This, juxtaposed with the fact that the vast majority of tech investment in the US is comically shortsighted, is only proving that irony is dead.

Guess I’m not using discord anymore lol

The creds were published on Reddit, and the feds evidently didn’t bother to activate 2FA

Gauge deez nuts, ICEatzgruppen

Yeah I’m running 16s and that’s pushing it imo

Holy fuck can you imagine how long it would take to re-stripe a failed drive in a z2 array 😭

Can confirm. Decided to pop for a base MBA, but with 32g ram, about a year ago, and it’s fantastic. Unbelievable battery efficiency, completely silent (passively cooled), and still decently performant for when I want to compile something/do a cpu intensive thing. I’ve used MBPs as corp-issue dev machines for nearly a decade and a half now, so I’m quite comfortable in the ecosystem.

I still have my old T14g2 running fedora, though (in addition to a plethora of non-mobile systems). Also snagged one of those silly-cheap Acer laptops with a fairly late model i3 in it, because it was $200 and had a SODIMM and m.2 slot, just as a spare/extra (it’s running kinoite)

It would be one guy with three dozen armed security contractors around him in full mercenary kit

I have and I do. I am under no illusions that the “less bad” party is actually trying meaningfully to improve things, or that it will do anything to stop the fascists. Because they’re not doing anything to stop the fascists.

With a single digit quantity of exceptions, the vast majority of our political establishment are somewhere between overt fascists and inept, useful idiots who are manifestly unfit to face the challenges of this fucked up new era we find ourselves in.

No.

She was one of the central players that lost the Republic. I don’t ever want to see her fucking face again in politics.

She was a bad candidate in 2016 and 2020, and she was demonstrably a catastrophic choice in 2024. And by that I mean her lack of backbone in standing up to monied interests shows that she entirely lacks the grit and will that our current era demands. Too much compromise with the neoliberals and hypercapitalists, not enough listening to actually fucking citizens and lived experience. Walz was the brightest spot in her campaign. And then she and the DNC muzzled him, with predictable results.
