Thanks to the extremist agenda of the richest tycoons supporting the authoritarians agenda, American tech companies are going to see a collapse in revenues and growth in these markets. Was it worth it just to support a bunch of child sexual predators? techpolicy.press/almost-two…

The claim "you won't be replaced by AI, but by a person using AI" is nonsense. The Block layoff victims were some of the most productive, #llm pilled people in the company, but it didn't save them, because that's not what layoffs are about.
The layoff script goes, as always:
- overhire
- lay everyone off
- pretend it's because of

Picture of a WWII beach in Normandy, France showing rows of Czech "Hedgehogs", static anti-tank defenses used to defend against mechanised beach landings. A Hedgehog is a trio of steel beams 5-6 feet long welded at right angles (one in each axis of a cube essentially) to form a giant "jumping jack" style obstacle. Few tanks would be able to get stuck ON them because they're quite tall, but you have to drive around them otherwise if a tank or APC ran into one, the two legs in the direction of tr…

I'm currently debugging why a pair of cumana 5.25" floppy drives doesn't step on one of my Model B's; it's got a switchable 40/80 board on it which is where my current suspicion lies; a Cumana CU1585 (?) board - which I reckon is something like below. The step line seems to be stuck at about 1.4v.
Alas neither chip is socketed so it's a bit of a pain (The whole build is a pain, the board is soldered to the end of the floppy ribbon, and squeezed into a gap behin…

A rough schematic of a small 74 logic board, with a 74LS38 opencollector NAND set, and a 74LS123 dual monostable; the two monostables seem to be coupled in a little loop.  One output of the 38 goes to the step line and also to the A input of one of the monstables.

I'm trying to type the word `part.revision` in our wiki because this is a database field I'm trying to document.
It keeps #autocorrect ing this to `part. Revision` because it thinks I'm actually starting a new sentence and am too stupid to add the space and capitalize the first word.

Jules Winnfield (played by badass Samuel L Jackson) in Pulp Fiction in the "Say that one more time, I DARE YOU" scene, where Jules has his hand cannon aimed at Brett's head and dares him to say "What?" again. 

              JULES
                         Say "What" again! C'mon, say "What" 
                         again!  I dare ya, I double dare ya 
                         motherfucker, say "What" one more 
                         goddamn time!

Except here Jules is about to shoot …
