Adderal, duh.

(Well, in the quantities he *wants*, anyway.)

This is the prevailing dogma, but has recently been challenged from more recent observations. (In defense of the dogma, we have very aggressively tested for preferred rotations with local experiments involving high energy particles. If there *is* a preferred rotation, its effect is vanishingly small, to the point of being functionally indestinguishable from flat spacetime at local scales, to an astonishing level of precision. This strongly suggests 'sampling error' for JWST data that follows)

Recent large area surveys by JWST suggests that there is a preferred rotational direction and axis to disparate galaxies. Such a finding is inconsistent with the presumption of widescale anisotropy. (But again, that's a very bold statement)

It may yet be ruled out through further observations as a sampling error, but the statement that there are *no* indications isotropy is incorrect. The mere existence of this survey says otherwise.

If there really is a universal preferred rotation, then a 'fuzzy', 'proximal' position could be given as a baricenter. It wouldnt be definitive; too much can happen as random events to compute an exact baricenter, but a statistically probable, proximal area could be defined with some confidence threshold.

Again, *assuming* the JWST readings arent just a sampling error. Which it probably is.

Their latest Flash model goes live tomorrow. Price for cached tokens halved, other prices lowered. Since it outperforms their latest Pro model they will reroute pro requests to it until the pro version launches. It does seem to be a frontier model in every way except price.

TheMiddleRoad was making a joke about the "cadence" cadence.

So much of security comes down to the authority to say no by the security team. When that happens things can be very secure for much less money spent. When companies realize that making things secure very frequently diverges from making people happy, then there can be security. So with that said, why the FUCK does this equipment even need to be connected? It should be air gapped and PLC programming laptops and others should also be sequestered and kept offline and free from any pluggable drives as well. But even with that said, most of the time issues come from C level. They are the ones that refuse to be told they can't do things on company equipment. I worked for a company that fell under DHS chemsec level 2, and even with those requirements they refused to do what the requirements said and the government was toothless for any ramifications for not doing it. When people grow a spine and start setting security to the absolute bare minimums necessary for specific company usage, then security things will keep happening. Again security is surprisingly easy when you run systems as pure whitelist and only for vetted and confirmed business need rather than letting people do whatever the fuck they want to.

People on ALL social media NEED to see what the other side says just as much as their own. Echo chambers make everything worse for everyone.

For me the visualization of direct collapse black hole formation is that there's still a huge mass of gas falling in, at the boundary of the new black hole nearly dense enough to direct collapse itself. The blowback would compress the inflow over the density edge and you get a whole cloud of black holes.

It's pretty cool that they're seeing where the supermassive black holes come from. The models of what's happening in there must be amazing.

But WE'RE MICROSOFT, and we've decided that YOU WILL GO HERE today!

All our extremely cherry picked analytics data says it's what you really want, deep down, and you KNOW IT, so stop complaining! (Honestly, this is just like the whole "you got rid of our start menu" thing all over again-- Cant you people ACCEPT the new future of computing?!)

I try my best to keep atomic package managers off my machine. They are just laziness embodied. I want coders and software makers to honor the speed, memory and storage of my machines. I dont want my machine to have to unpack before it can run something. I don't want 97 copies of the same libraries stored on my machine. I dont want apps or systems that make it hard to share data between apps or don't honor theming on my machine. And I most definitely dont want application management systems that take control away from me as the owner about when and how updates are done.

1) "smaller" = "Bigger" (in terms of sales, and modern utility. This is exactly what I meant, UV Light has a threshold over which the structures are smaller than the wavelengths you are trying to use to make them. this means you have to use some kind of mask technology, and you get strange quantum effects from the photons doing things photons do when they are restricted by tiny masks.

2) You are forgetting something here, to make a tortured inference that doesnt really fit anyway. Most of the technology used in a fab is either precision electronics (needed to control the energizing source's true positioning to efficiently control its beam), which you can do with less sophisticated chips than the ones you are making. The inverse creates a chicken and egg problem, and is nonsense. You dont need 2nm tech to make 2nm tech. You can make 2nm chips with 14nm ones though. The knowledge of how to make and run fab machines is not to be discredited-- Japan's big LED rise came from a single guy repeatedly rebuilding and tinkering with a vapor deposition machine at a university in the US, where he was treated like ass, because he didn;t have a pHD. DO NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE TOO.

3) It is not a breakthrough. It's a milestone on independent progress that is occurring at a very quick pace. Again, you are proudly crowing about how big your old growth forest is, while discounting how quickly your competition is doing forestry work.

Correct. The correct response is to massively build out the west's capabilities, and drive down china's market cornering potential.

the problem is that the western countries seem hell bent on doing this the most grift-heavy ways possible, sabotaging every effort, and then wondering why none of those efforts actually produced useful chipfabs--- (at least on one side of the coin)

While simultaneously nodding cheekily to the above, siphoning off every last dollar of grift, purposefully refusing to create local chipfabs (because western workers are too expensive! OUR PROFITS!), and pretending that technological gatekeeping and effective monopolies on supplies are in any tangible way feasible. (On the other.)

China's advancements might be small, but they are meaningful.

Ours? Look big on paper, but mostly just waste time.

I seem to remember a fable about a tortoise and a rabbit written by some greek guy.... Maybe it's my imagination.

UV has a top limit, sure. But homegrowing that tech expands what they can do *now*, builds local knowhow on building fab machines, and primes them to not be as stymied when they move on to building more recent forms of lithography. (You cannot cut off their supply of asics to prevent the manufacture of better fabs)

You kids cant see the forest for the trees, complaining about the saplings china is planting being small, while croaking pridefully about how big your own trees are.

In time, china will dominate chipfab.

Timeline hopper here, just through the gate from funny laugh lady land. Believe it or not in that line Musk is still the richest man ever over there - richer even - but he's a woke social librul because he knows which side of his bread has butter on it.

Notably, President Harris also prefers rockets that will launch to rockets that will not for some reason.
