It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏
"They say he [Hermes] was responsible for profit and an overseer of the businesses: consequently they set up the statue of him weighing a purse."
Suidas s.v. Hermes
🏛️ Hermes bronze figurine
📸 Me 🙂
#mythology

Bronze figurine of Hermes with a green patina. He is depicted in the nude, wearing just a hat and a chlamys cloak around his shoulders and draped around his left arm. He holds a purse in is left and probably used to hold a kerykeion staff in his right that is now missing. I added the words "Petasos Hat" with an arrow to the hat and "Missing Sandals" with an arrow pointing to his naked feet in white letters.

Against all odds, Democrats seemed to have gained the upper hand in the conflict over the government shutdown,
in part by sticking relentlessly to their demand that enhanced subsidies for buying health insurance on the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) exchanges be extended.
In response, Republicans are insisting — with increasing volume almost tipping into anger — that they very much care about Americans’ access to healthcare,
all evidence to the contrary

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare
And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

The statue stands to a height of 1.78 m, though it is missing the feet from below the ankle and any plinth it may have originally stood on. Mars is depicted as a youthful soldier, wearing a Greek helmet and bearing a large oval shield held in his left arm. He is wearing a cuirass with elaborate lappets beneath and at the sleeves over a tunic. He has a sword strapped on his left side. His right arm is extended but the hand is missing.

Listened to half of the digital foundry video. The steam machine, AKA GabeCube, will have 16G of replaceable sodimm (laptop) memory.
Video memory it's probably soldered and a bit anemic, but (my guess) if the GPU can read system memory fast enough, it might even work out just fine! Ray tracing consumes a lot of extra video memory, so that's probably the biggest concern.

Most of the largest tech corporations have done layoffs related to AI (aka “AI layoffs”).
I have read Satya Nadela’s message. I don’t know if other CEOs have published similar messages
I do not understand the connection though. 1) These companies had good financial results lately; 2) The people being laid off are not replaced by AI; 3) The layoffs won’t help further AI capex investments in any significant way.

"Ares, the shield-stabber, rose up against Athene with the brazen spear in his hand, and spoke a word of revilement: ‘Why once more, you dogfly, have you stirred up trouble among the gods with the blast of your blown fury, and the pride of your heart driving you?’"

🏛 Black-figure vase painting of the Birth of Athena, 540 BCE
📸 La Fuente Egeria

Two-handled jar (amphora) depicting the birth of Athena. Athena, the patron goddess of Athens, was said to have been born fully grown from the head of Zeus. Here, Zeus sits on his throne holding his thunderbolt, as the goddess springs from his head in full armour. Hephaistos, who is usually present with the axe he used to split his father's skull, is absent, but Hermes and Apollo look on at left, and at right Ares and a goddess, possibly Aphrodite, observe the miraculous birth.
