Agree with this. The 5 day workweek was established because it was the maximum that employees were willing to tolerate before revolt. The productivity of the employees was not and will not ever be a factor in the length of the workweek.

Wasn't this the one that was going to support Vulkan video decoding?

It's only a 14 day delay, after which you can expect it to proceed as per plan. It's probably more for optics than anything else.

Come, all ye young fellows that are learning to read, / (WITH A WAY, HEY, ROT YER BRAINS OUT!) / please pay attention and listen to me. / (GIVE ME SOME TIME TO ROT YER BRAINS OUT!)

LOOK AT ALL THE LONELY PEOPLE

The value of a stock is based on the present value of a future earnings stream. If you revise that downward, very bad things happen to the price.

Where do people think they get Starburst from?

You can buy gold bullion at Costco.

(Sorry, meant "asymmetric".)

Sure, but isn't the "useful" thing they're going to do is destroy security worldwide by breaking asynchronous public-private keypair encryption?

Oh, I thought the headline said "AI driven open-source scarcity", because nobody wants to work all day and night in the code mines only to have Dario F. Amodei steal your shit and present it as its own.

Wal-Mart shouldn't know or care what power plant or fuel their electricity comes from. And it's seriously bad new when the incentives are such that economic superpowers remove themselves from the common infrastructure.

"It won't be a surprise when it happens (unless it takes the whole market with it). "

I'm not an economist--are economists even economists these days?--but I think a lot of folk are predicting that it WILL take the whole market with it, though. I mean, if the only thing that's been staving off a nominal recession for the last couple years is the Majestic 7, and if all that growth is wiped off the board, how could there NOT be a recession?

But what do I know? I thought you had to make money to be successful in business. What an idiot I am.

It's a helluva lot of Chinese made chips.

Wind and battery-backed solar are adequate to this purpose. They're already very effectively displacing fossil fuel power plants elsewhere. They get more economically attractive every day. Canada has plenty of land that's not being used for much else. Sure, the latitude is high for solar, but you can build vertically. There's no need for or even relative economic benefit to nuke plants, unless you build and sell nuclear reactors.
