And you get off my lawn…

All your base are belong to us…

Don’t you think?

Ok, but you are saying ‘Kilroy was here’ was an ‘early’ meme dating back to the 1940s. By the ‘thing described by a term can predate the term’ logically, memes have always been a thing and you won’t be able to cite an ‘early’ meme credibly.

The guy was agreeing that 'sure, that was a meme, but so too were many many things throughout history, basically life is a constant barrage of ‘memes’ in that sense.

Like how nVidia buys equity in a customer and in part promises expensive real product as part of it. So they may have so many billions worth of equity in a customer and might be able to leverage that to fund that production if needed, but if that equity evaporates, then they still are on the hook for the expensive product committment.

So maybe not yet straightforward debt, but a whole lot of expensive balls in the air that could manifest as a committed expense when there’s no actual money to execute…

Just seems like a lot of financial moves that are far from straightforward of a magnitude that could wipe a company out.

Retaining that much detail on tentacles takes some drive space

Linear density could also boost throughout. Multiple actuators also exist.

I am not sure. They have other businesses but not sure those other businesses are able to sustain the obligations that nVidia has committed to in this round. They are juggling more money than their pre-AI boom market cap by a wide margin, so if the bubble pops, unclear how big a bag nVidia will be left holding and if the rest of their business can survive it. Guess they might go bankrupt and come out of it eventually to continue business as usual after having financial obligations wiped away…

Also, they have somewhat tarnished their reputation with going all in on the dataenter equipment to, seemingly here, abandoning the consumer market to make more capacity for the datacenters. So if AMD ever had an opportunity to maybe cash in, well, here it might be… Except they also dream of being a big datacenter player, but weaker demand may leave them with leftover capacity…

Well, they are helping out with that one…

I guess the same way email can have html as an attachment for the same thing a plaintext does, evidently some of these mails suggested a mailer actually pdf encoded the email and attached, as well as the plain text.

So when someone replied with plaintext the base64 encoded PDF that they were replying to got ‘quoted’, meaning the unredacted email they were replying to is in there, just messy due to font confusion in the provided format.

Some of the reactions are some in an effective way, and I assume this example is one of them. The problem being evidently they didn’t think any what might be in big base64 blobs in the PDF, and I guess some of these folks somehow had their email encoded as PDF, which seems bonkers…

I would imagine it’s nowadays at the point where employment verification is automatically fired off to some vetting agency automatically during the process where software does all the cross referencing and anomalies would be caught and reported.

I don’t think they have to go all private investigator to get basic employment verification from the actual employers anymore.

PLEASE

That’s why you have to keep it modest at ‘regional manager’, significant enough to be useful looking, insignificant enough so you can’t possibly be to blame for the downfall of the company.

Well, Microsoft didn’t offer it to you freely…

Yeah, but without learning Microsoft, how would you know that ‘dir’ just makes sense? Or that you might want to look at ‘diskpart’ to look at your drives?

I mean, diskpart and dir don’t make especially any more sense than lsblk/parted and ls. A fair point can be made for ‘copy’ being more intuitive, but ‘diskpart’ means you had to learn what disks and partitioning were, and lsblk means you need to learn what ‘block’ devices rae, and of course ‘parted’ references partitions. ‘dir’ means you wanted to ‘show the directory’ which means you had to learn of it as a directory, but then learn that the shortname of directory is the way to see the contents of a directory. ls means you learned you want to ‘list’ contents and that unix had this laziness of just the first and third letters of a word. Both involve learning, neither is ‘intuitive’.

You end up writing ridiculously long commands

I assume this is the likes of dbus-send and crap, and I agree with you if that’s the case. Dbus is a complication I could do without and have to confess that powershell cmdlets generally do a better job of instrumenting the system than a system that increasingly has no specific help and only long dbus-send commands to tackle certain things. dconf has issues too, but I think does a better job than the Windows registry at analagous function.

Keep in mind these are dual socket systems, and that’s CPU without any GPU yet. So with the CPUs populated and a consumer-grade high end GPU added, those components are at 1500W, ignoring PSU inefficiencies and other components that can consume non-trivial power.

For USA, you almost never run a 20A circuit, most are 15A, but even then that’s considered short term consumption and if you run over a longer term it’s supposed to be 80%, so down to 1440W. Space heaters usually max out at 1400W in the USA when expected to plug into a standard outlet because of this. A die-hard enthusiast might figure out how to spread non-rendundant multiple PSUs across circuits, or have a rare 20A circuit run, but it’s going to be a very very small niche.

Ah, ok, that’s fair. I agree that codec/bitrate choice has made a lot of ostensibly ‘4k’ content look like crap, so why have 8k when many providers/internet connections won’t even cover the requisite detail to drive 4k in streaming.

Even if the electios are free in fair, I don’t think he’d be done in November.

The only way he’s “done” is if GOP loses every single last senate seat up for grabs. Every single one in Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, West Virginia, Florida, Texas, etc.

Hell, most analysts think that Democrats don’t have a realistic chance of even getting a simple senate majority, let alone a veto-proof one or even a filibuster proof one.

If they don’t then they cannot remove anyone from office, they cannot override vetos. Yes, they can decline to pass bills, but given their stance of ‘executive branch has supreme power’, they’ll just do illegal executive orders and ignore the courts unless the supreme court agrees with them. Trump is already declared immune from any and all crimes except by the Senate and has the ability to pardon any and all federal cases, and that’s assuming his own enforcement agencies even bother trying to punish anyone…
