Some of his logic designs were amazing. I was learning digital logic when I got my //e and started studying schematics. (The //e was a generation removed, but had some features from the ][ series and I studied those as well.) For one example, the ][ disk drive. Just as a quick and simple example, he had a 7400 chip needed and used 1 ro 2 of the NAND gates on it. He used the other gates as amplifiers from the disk signal. Not something that was at all standard at that time (don't know if it is now). That's the one I can remember, but he was using ONE gate as an amp instead of at least one, if not three more chips. Things like that kept the costs down more than most would think.

I can't remember other examples, but his habits of having to keep chip counts down, so he could make what he wanted when his family didn't have a lot of money, came through in a number of ways in his designs.

Hmmm...

That's being a little bit harsh.

He sold *new* cars! ;)

They really should be honoring Steve Wozniak instead. He's the one that did the work, did the innovation, made a floppy disk drive work for a price lower than anyone else could imagine by innovating. He's the one who did the designs and made it all possible. But Jobs was more visible and knew how to capture headlines.

Seriously, Jobs and Apple would have been NOTHING without Woz doing the kind of stuff he can do.

Clicked to update my password - now the Plex site login won't work at all. I don't mean it won't take the new PW. I mean you can't get the login page.

Not surprised, really. So freaking many bugs in Plex that never get fixed I've questioned their code quality for a while now.

I was just asking chatgpt for help with an error message and part of the fix it recommended was to rename a file to itself. (mv X X)

The US is taking the first steps towards handing its mantle of science leader to other nations.

Hear no evil, see no evil...

Get rid of mammograms, cancer rates will plummet.

It is prize money, not grant money. A $1 million prize is good.

Trump was older when elected than Biden was when he was elected.

Thanks data centers and AI centers for vacuuming up all of the energy we were supposed to be saving with more efficient appliances and LED lighting.

Naaah, the rich need poor people to make them feel superior.

I was impressed by how close to meat Burger King's Impossible Burger was. I really couldn't taste a significant difference.

Protein is protein. "Processed" could include a bean burger. So what if it has been mashed up and seasoned?

Say it has copyright music on it and they'll take it down immediately. They don't give a crap about any users unless it involves IP law.

To be fair an interview is far different from an on the job task. The anxiety level and pressure to look good in an interview is very high and I'd think most people would feel the need to look like they can answer any question and not say they don't know. On a normal basis they'd feel more comfortable saying they don't know.
