Nvidia has been doing a lot of useless stuff lately, but this is actually a big deal. I wonder what the latency looks like on these switches. Traditionally direct-attach copper has always been the preferred choice for low-latency applications, with optics used for longer connections where […]

When we read The Lord of the Rings as kids we thought we'd want to be Frodo or Gandalf, or Aragorn, or Galadriel. And then there are these mega-rich guys who must have thought "I'd really want to be Sauron!", and I suspect they never bothered to finish the book.

"History is a branch of Mathematics, Economics is a branch of religion" Funnily enough I was trying to think of a way to word that argument recently then today I finished "The Humans" by Matt Haig which quoted that near the end, would highly recommend

I've been filing bugs to improve Mozilla's crash reporting infrastructure so it's easier to see at a glance if a particular crash affects only a specific CPU but also if only some microcode versions are affected. I said it before but I'll say it again. I would have never thought that CPU bugs […]

Talking to a friend I was reminded that Jean Giraud - better known as Moebius - died on this day 13 years ago. He was such an extraordinary artist. To this day I find myself speechless and moved by the beauty of many of his works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Giraud #Moebius

Most of my students know that the US did not enter WWII until after Pearl Harbor (12/7/1941). A few know about America First and the embrace of isolationism in the late-1930s. Almost none believe me when I tell them that 90+ PERCENT of Americans opposed US […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Talking about scams. I can't wait to see so-called "leaders" across the industry and political spectrum backpedal on the topic of AI. Give it some time and everybody will pretend they never ever believed in it or had anything to do with it. Once the bubble bursts we'll have to make a truckload […]

The EU commission's decision to relax the CO² emission rules for cars is one of the stupidest moves in recent times. Fortunately the EU car market is still imploding - having lost another 2% in January - so we'll still get some serious reductions simply because people are buying less and less […]

Reposting my recent explanation about shoujo/josei because I keep seeing people be like, “Actually that’s not a shoujo it’s a josei”. Josei is largely an English fandom term and is under the umbrella of shoujo so all “josei manga” are also shoujo manga.
