Gee, maybe there might be some practical, social and legal problems with always recording camera glasses…

IT KEEPS HAPPENING!

Come on people if you find century old ordnance in your back yard, make sure it has a flared base!

Stick with mortar rounds, not shells for infantry support guns or artillery!

The described size of the shell is interesting. “Over 3 centimeters” sounds like it could be a 3.7cm shell which were fairly common in WW1 but, none of those were “20 cm long” most being closer to 10 cm, such as the the 37mm mle.1916, the 1 pounder pom pom and the 3.7 cm TAK 1918.

Later ww2 3.7mm shells were often close to 20cm in length though.

Probably not directly.

But if I had to guess, this, along with a few other similar markets dropping suddenly, suggest some major actors in the world are liquidating assets to get cash for some reason.

Some powerful global actor suddenly needing a lot of cash suddenly could mean something that effects you.

I’ve not had any issues with librewolf slowing down or crashing even when left open for prolonged times.

It’s a fork of fire fox, but with a lot of stuff pulled out and some ad blocking stuff built in. the devs have said they’re not gonna implement the upstream fire fox AI stuff.

The companies making TVs don’t want to sell simple displays, they want to expand their businesses beyond just one time sales of hardware. So they and the store fronts don’t offer the average consumer a simple display. People can still find them, but they need to be actually looking for a dumb TV and know what to look for.

:3

They’re about a 2/3rds majority in the consumer and workstation market, and that’s not insignificant, but that’s also not a significant part of their revenue by this point, nor is it why their stock makes up a terrifying percentage of the S&P 500.

If their revenue returned to just being that, they’d basically cease to be a relevant company and their stock price would crater. It’s a decent business to be in, but, it’s not a infinite growth, line goes up forever, business to be in.

They have a near monopoly on cloud service genAI data center GPUs. They don’t make the semiconductors. They just hand the design for those chip to TSMC and then sell what TSMC makes for them. The vast majority of their revenue right now is coming from selling stuff to new genAI data centers, if those stop getting built, they loose 80% of their revenue. And their current valuation is based on an assumption of an order of magnitude of new such data centers being built year on year.

I think, that it’s very likely that demand for new such chips is liable to drop to 0 because the capacity of currently extant data center using their chips is already overbuilt for realistic demand. No one other than Nvidia is making money on these data centers, and there is no path to profitability.

I don’t think most corporations would be interested in buying a computer that doesn’t include a windows license. Unless they intend to use it for like… server stuff, but they’d be way better off buying like… actual server hardware… if only for the operating cost.

The trick is to play one thing inexplicably awful that the bartender won’t realize is so just by looking at the name.

Like Ram Ranch. Like, sure they’ll probably cancel it after about 20 seconds when they realize what the fuck is going on. But you still got everyone in the bar to hear about gay cowboys for 20 seconds.

it does not seem that he thought it was a good way to run a state, but the necessary way if you were going to be an authoritarian ass hat.

If the ruler was to be an unelected, unaccountable tyrant, then this was how they need to behave to not collapse in on them selves and become prey to all those around them.

It’s a very interesting interpretation of the work, that aligns fairly closely with a lot of modern scholarship around the dynamics of authoritarian regimes.

It depends on the type of productivity TBH. Like, sure some productivity use cases need CUDA, but a lot of productivity use cases are just using the cards as graphics cards. The places where you need CUDA are real, but not ubiquitous.

And “this is my personal computer I play games on, but also the computer I do work on, and that work needs CUDA specifically” is very much an edge case.

I’d say in general, the advantages of Nvidia cards are fairly niche even on windows. Like, multi frame generation (fake frames) and upscaling are kind of questionable in terms of value add most of the time, and most people probably aren’t going to be doing any ML stuff on their computer.

AMD in general offers better performance for the money, and that’s doubly so with Nvidia’s lackluster Linux support. AMD has put the work in to get their hardware running well on Linux, both in terms of work from their own team and being collaborative with the open source community.

I can see why some people would choose Nvidia cards, but I think, even on windows, a lot of people who buy them probably would have been better off with AMD. And outside of some fringe edge cases, there is no good reason to choose them when building or buying a computer you intend to mainly run Linux on.

Fun fact, the supreme leader has so far always been dead, the title only having been given to Sung and Jong upon their deaths, yet the title is officially the leader of the party, state, and army.

Making it the world’s only Necrocracy (rule by the dead)

A Necrocracy if we want to be pedantic. As the highest title in government 최고령도자 (literally translating as “supreme leader” or “the best/most leader”, but can be taken to mean something like “the leader who is in the highest position”), officially it is in charge of the party, state, and millitary, and so far been only given to former leaders upon their deaths. Meaning that at any given time, the highest leadership position is held by someone who is dead, making it a Necrocracy, rule by the dead.

A theocracy would imply some form of church like structure deciding policy, laws, and running the state, maybe you could argue the party is a sort of church, but the party apparatus is not appointing the leader, nor does it set policy. The party, state, and army in North Korea serve at the behest of the hereditary leaders, so practically it’s more of a monarchy.

I mean, there are a bunch of American cast iron companies still making really good stuff, most are just kinda pricy, like 100 bucks for a skillet. Lodge is just notable for being super cheap, 20 bucks for a skillet, and having a very crude finish compared to the others.

I mean, carbon steel is basically the same thing in terms of how you care for it.

I mean, there are a lot of types of spray cooking oil I’ve seen. Coconut, olive oil, and soybean (vegetable oil) are what I see most commonly, and none of those have particularly high smoke points.

Nah, you’re not gonna smooth that out with seasoning. Like, it’s the texture of the sand mold just like the rest of it, zero sanding or grinding on the cooking surface to smooth it out and this isn’t a “cheap import” kind of thing, the brand I’m thinking of, lodge, are made in America. Like, they’re functional pans, but the roughness makes them harder to use than something with a polished or even sanded cooking surface, stuff just catches on the nooks and crannies regardless of seasoning. Like a quick pass with a sander or grinder improves them immensely, but that’s not really something most people are going to bother with.

There is actually a lot we don’t really know about the polymerization and how it layers and adheres. Particularly about how certain heating regimes and oil type effect it. There are a handful of papers about it, but there is a lot missing particularly about what effects the resiliency, porosity, and toughness of the layers. Best practice for what oils to use for seasoning, and how to best apply them and get them to form even layers is up in the air.

We understand generally what is happening, but the specifics are poorly understood and not well researched.
