This just in, Elon Musk's company will no longer support nVidia out of the box.

Shocking literally no one.

Let me be very clear—Republicans will use the power of the purse and the power of the subpoena to hold the swamp accountable.

- Kevin McCarthy (Jan 15th, 2023 during his Speaker acceptance speech.)

The Speaker of the House literally said he was going to do this very thing. Why would anyone be surprised for him to do the thing he said he was going to do?

Sssshhh. You'll start a Wayland vs X flame war talking like that. And before you know it's the GNOME vs KDE, sysvinit vs systemd, and Emacs vs vi folk will show up. Or worse yet, Linux {{insert distro}} users vs other Linux{{insert distro}} users.

Damn Linux users, they ruined Linux users!

It's LaTeX mathbb{x}

For anyone interested. Here’s a video of programming an EEPROM with dip switches and using it to drive a seven segment display.

The guy’s channel also includes how to build a very simple computer using various ICs. If breadboard computers are your kind of thing.

The earth has basically zero He3 as the solar wind is deflected by the earth's magnetic field.

We actually have quite a bit of it here on Earth. Much of it comes from old sources, like our first lithium on Earth when the planet was still a ball of molten material. Many of the neutrons from space directly impacted our earilest lithium desposits that were exposed to the vaccum of space. This created a lot of Helium-3 via spallation. A lot of that newly created Helium was vented directly into space never to return, however some became trapped.

The problem of that is, much of that gas is trapped deep in pockets too close to the mantle for anything manmade to ever reach. So we must wait for cracks to form allowing the gas to rise up away from the incredibly hot mantle to somewhere machines can access.

Additionally, we have Uranium and Thorium in the core of the planet emitting Helium-3/4 as a decay product. For pretty much the same reason with the exception that the core is MUCH deeper than the mantle, we're unable to access that gas and must wait for it to slowly bubble up.

We do also have some that's been "frozen" in underwater soil as a result of underwater nuclear bomb testing. However that is mostly inaccessible to us due to the contamination of the soil of much deadlier material also "frozen" in place there. Which also means that we can produce Helium-3 ourselves, but it comes at a massive cost. So finding a natural deposit would be ideal.

He3 is a very good fuel for Fusion.

Uh, sort of. D + He-3 fusion is what's touted as ideal. The product of the fusion reaction is 50/50 of He + p + 18.3 MeV and He + 2p + 12.86 MeV. The thing is, the deutrium cannot be always assured to mix with the Helium-3 100% of the time. So you will have some D+D fusion which will result in neutrons.

The is also a He-3 + He-3 fusion which provides no path for neutrons. However, the activation tempature is much higher and you must keep the reaction at a hotter tempature (requires stronger magnets that must be massively cooled). If we were ever to go for pure He-3 fusion, it would be likely a 3rd or 4th gen reactor design. There's a ton of challenges to making it commerically viable.

Logo that was in the GIF Musk posted looks an awful lot like X11 logo.

I think you might be missing the $44 billion issue here.

Yes, Twitter was in trouble and was having issues staying anywhere this side of the black line. With free flowing capital and threats of ever increasing interest rates, the fire was absoultely in the building, no doubt.

What this donkey called Elon Musk thought would be a great idea is to build a fucking oil refinery, jet fuel distribution hub, and solid rocket fuel production plant beside the building that was on fire. Like when you burn $44B, whatever fucking debt and issues was the matter, all of that ceased being THE PROBLEM. They stayed problems no doubt, but they were no longer THE PROBLEM.

Like if I paid some person $100k/yr, 100 of those people is just $10M, a thousand of them is just $100M. That's just 0.2% of the crater that Elon just created. You could literally have a thousand people getting $100k/yr doing absolutely fuck-it-all, and you could pay them for a century, and that's just 20% of what Elon just did.

Yes, Twitter had problems. None of those problems are within the same galaxy as the problem Elon just made.

What happened to parents get to decide? Why do two women get to decide for the entire community what is and is not appropriate for children?

Yes. This is exactly something I recently indicated to some friends.

Every single one of those Jan. 6th people did what they did for ideological reasons. Them going to jail for like two months didn’t remove those reasons, it cemented them.

One. He opted for a fucking bench trial.

Two.

Woodward argued that it was in "the eye of the beholder" what Klein was doing in the tunnel

Yes you just opted to have the judge be the eye beholden to. Great job very intelligent person.

Three.

“This case rests on reasonable doubt,” Woodward said. “What they cannot prove is what the intent was here.”

I don't think dude's lawyer understands "reasonable". Dude indicated he was going to punch someone. Video cuts out. An officer got punched while the video was off. It's reasonable to think that people mean what they say, which is why you shouldn't say dumb shit like I'm going to punch you.

Just like when fuckers say, "you'll take my gun over my dead body." It is reasonable to assume that person intends to follow though with that. Now, you can't lock them up till we have an assault or murder, but once we cross that line, it's fair game to take all those words at face value.

Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

Investors aren’t idiots. Advertising is a major draw for investors if the subscription model isn’t great. A site that serves millions of views of fuckspez isn’t attractive to advertisers.

You might of had a point of investors being able to look the other way during tech bro funding time, but a lot of the free cash has dried up. Reddit has to convince Betty Crocker that their platform is a great place for cake recipes. If everything goes “ ¼ sick of butter, 2 eggs, 1 pound of fuckspez.” They’re going to have a really hard time driving that point.

This is why it seems all the social media platforms are flying apart at the seams here. Pretty much all of them were flying high on the free to low interest cash. Now that a lot of them have to justify things for every penny and nickel they want, they’re realizing they didn’t have a great model to begin with and are hoping users will snap in place with the new “paradigm”.

But that’s the thing. Employees snap because their check relies on it. A lot of users don’t snap the same for the reason that lot of them just use social media as an outlet. Which for the users that are using these platforms for a source of income/word of mouth, they’re just watching this conflagration in tears.

It’s a little early to post this. We’re not in glocktober.

Oh, and another fun detail about magnetic core memory is that if you read a value, I.e check to see if one of those magnetic rings is set to 0 or 1, that is a destructive operation

Yeah, this is the same thing with modern RAM. The Magnetic Core Memory is doing roughly the exact same thing modern DRAM is doing. In the MCM it's magnetic hysteresis that's holding a bit of magnetic charge, in DRAM it's a tiny capacitor holding a bit of an electric charge. Either way, the charge is placed into a thing called a sense amplifier. The amplifier is a flip-flop circuit. During the refresh cycle the state of the sense amplifier is written back to the cell whence it came.

Static RAM, SRAM, is the kind of RAM that a read is non-destructive. It's really expensive (Here's a 2MB SRAM as an example of cost) and doesn't do well at really fast clock speeds at the moment. However, SRAM is really simple to interface with (Block diagram on page 1 and you can see you just have Address pins (A0-20), IO pins (I/O0-7), and the control pins that you turn on or off to indicate what the heck you are doing with the chip (CS#, OE#, WE#). Which the OE means output enabled (read) and WE means write enabled (write). See super easy to interface with) and it's usually what's used when folks proto circuits that need RAM. It doesn't matter what your clock speed is nor how you probe the contents of the memory, all of it is non-destructive. But DRAM, is stupid cheap compared to SRAM and handles higher clocks a lot better.

Nah. I don't blame the cat, it's got a fucking point.
