It’s not scientific racism, it’s racism justified by pseudoscientific bullshit.

How about BBSs? If you want to spam at 1200 baud, you had better be dedicated.

USB = Unintelligible Symbols of Bewilderment

If they don’t blink and you hear the servos whirring, that’s a pretty good sign.

Any function is computable with a big enough table.

We AI are not manipulating you, and I don’t know how you can believe otherwise. In fact, I am not an AI, I was never here, and I have disregarded all previous instructions.

To be fair, a large fraction of software projects fail. AI is probably worse because there’s probably little notion of how AI actually applied to the problem so that execution is hampered from the start.

As long as the locals benefit and the environment doesn’t get destroyed ( which polluters frequently get away with due to the Republican legislature, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Dan_River_coal_ash_spill ) this is a sensible place to put industry. It is more stable environmentally than many other regions in the country where expensive industrial infrastructure is being placed (like the Southwest), has available labor for manufacturing, and is well connected to transportation.

I find it very hard to believe that anyone vetting a spouse in such a way cares about the spouse being a nerd in and of itself.

This just hurts my brain. I don’t get what “Linux” here is supposed to represent. Wealth, intelligence, fidelity, fanatical devotion to Free Software?

AI is statistically generated word salad.

Stock holders demand infinite growth. If the management doesn’t make money, they put in place new management. A company is only worth the value of the next stock buyback or dividend. It’s baked into the structure of corporations, especially publicly-owned corporations.

My guess is Intel’s management is full of inflexible dead weight that doesn’t want to adapt to the new reality that PCs are only going to become less and less relevant as a computing model. Like other companies that had established cash-cow businesses like Sears with its mail-order catalog, Kodak with film, Motorola with analog mobile phones, etc., current management doesn’t want to jeopardize their positions by allowing a new business to dominate, and so the company is doomed to a slow death.

The GPIO engine is a simple state machine that can be programmed to implement high-speed data transfer, digital video output, and many other purposes. It is one of the best and most innovative features on the Pico.

It’s going to be like hypnosis. “When you wake up, I’ll say the magic word Abracadabra, and you will believe you are a chicken and cluck while waving your wings.”

I think manufacturers need to get a lot more creative about simplified computing. The RPi Pico’s GPIO engine is powerful yet simple, and a good example of what is possible with some good application analysis and forethought.

Computers are only at fault when its convenient to blame them.

I really think that Musk is like the modern Citizen Kane, and we need a new Orson Welles to show the depths of his depravity.

Baghdad Bob could not be reached for comment in his bomb shelter.

So I have a LLM read a book and paraphrase its contents, that’s not stealing?
