The past President in question was Trump.

I used to think Giuliani was. They had been around the same social circles, and Trump overlooked a lot of Giuliani’s failures during his four years. The collapse of the 2020 election cases seems to have ended that, though.

It’ll be a step up from the 7800x3d, but how much is a question. The 9000 series in general has been a disappointment in terms of the gains that were expected, but it does show some kind of gain. There’s reason to think those issues are fixable. Linux performance does show a decent uplift, for one, which has not been the case with Intel’s Arrow Lake chips.

This is the actual problem with these types of retirement plans, though. People are expected to know a lot about managing the investments themselves. There’s a whole industry whose job it is to give you bad advice. The real advice is “drop it in a mix of an sp500 index fund it and bonds according to your risk level” and the rest is bullshit.

He doesn’t think that. Newt is evil, not stupid.

It was a bad take. Intel has not been using TSMC long.

That said, it’s pretty broadly agreed that Intel needs to toss its manufacturing arm into a subsidiary, and then possibly make that subsidiary completely independent. That’s what AMD did with Global Foundries, and it worked very well for them. This process seems to have already started at Intel.

It’s funny to see Godzilla in weird contexts.

No, I don’t think that’s a particularly good reason for it all, either.

It wouldn’t be my first choice, but it’ll probably do the job. Depends on what you want to do with it. There’s fewer people choosing this path, which means that when things go wrong, you’ll have fewer sources of information to help.

Some old Dell office PC with a good amount of RAM and an SSD would be just as well.

The cameras alone should be able to see IR. There’s filters over most digital cameras to prevent that, but no reason to do it here.

Tesla is just advertising technology that isn’t ready, and people are dying as a result.

Shape of the table is wrong for that. Usually these things happen as an architectural oddity. There isn’t room there for a full bench, so they made it work.

Orwell goes hard. It’s unfortunate that he’s known for two books that people pretend they read in high school because their English teacher made them.

And my point is that they won’t try it again, because the Cuban Missile Crisis is probably the closest the world has come to nuclear war.

Yes, which is why they won’t.

That’s really it. The start and end of why the embargo is even still there. It hurts both Cuba and (to a lesser extent) the United States. It benefits nobody, but there’s some loudmouth Cuban expats who want you to believe Batista didn’t have it coming.

If Russia wanted to do that, they could.

Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a more grudging way, have said to people ‘I offer you a good time,’ Hitler has said to them ‘I offer you struggle, danger and death,’ and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet. Perhaps later on they will get sick of it and change their minds, as at the end of the last war. After a few years of slaughter and starvation ‘Greatest happiness of the greatest number’ is a good slogan, but at this moment ‘Better an end with horror than a horror without end’ is a winner. Now that we are fighting against the man who coined it, we ought not to underrate its emotional appeal.

It’s a fundamentally uncomfortable position. The people of Gaza matter, and we can be pretty sure that Harris will continue current Biden Admin policies on it. You can’t argue for the hundred other policies at stake without knowingly allowing genocide to happen with US approval.

But here’s the thing: there are two very prominent Jewish people who don’t believe for a second that both sides are the same. One of them is Bernie Sanders. The other is Benjamin Netanyahu.

I must live my life according to the opinions of 4000+ dead people. Or assuming they had.

For every fuck that’s censored, I shall say fuck twice.

I had a friend who did this. Loud as hell, but it worked.
