"Rupert's Land Act"

Thanks for the coffee spew.

Whoosh.

Yeah, but it also lead to the kind of feature bloat that turned productive apps in overly complicated whales that were no longer usable for their original purpose.

Google promised that you would never have to delete an email ever? That they would keep all of it forever as though they were doing you some kind of favor?

What are they hoping to achieve at this point?

She says the truth, she gets booed because it's not what the audience wants to hear. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, Reddit, Slashdot, FB and every other social media platform. There won't be significant change until the audience does more than boo.

Jensen Huang to college grads: "Run. Don't walk" toward AI

https://www.axios.com/2026/05/...

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told graduates at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh yesterday that demand for AI infrastructure is creating a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build."

Why it matters: With many college grads fearing AI could obliterate their career dreams, Huang pointed to boundless opportunity as a "new industry is being born. A new era of science and discovery is beginning ... I cannot imagine a more exciting time to begin your life's work."

Nvidia, which makes AI chips, is the world's most valuable company. Huang told 5,800 recipients of undergraduate and graduate degrees that the AI buildout will require plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, and builders for chip factories, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.

"No generation has entered the world with more powerful tools â" or greater opportunities â" than you," he said. "We are all standing at the same starting line. This is your moment to help shape what comes next. So run. Don't walk."

"Every major technological revolution in history created fear alongside opportunity," Huang added. "When society engages technology openly, responsibly, and optimistically, we expand human potential far more than we diminish it."

The money would have been far better spent rebuilding I-5.

...like "Tell me about Tiananmen Square" or "Tell me about Xinjiang".

Is this what you want for the future?

My thoughts back when R1 came out:

These would be very useful in geothermal well data loggers. The current technology uses 100 degree C parts inside a thermos container. I presume there are deep oil wells that can also use high temperature data loggers.

So, can I plug my Apple TV into it and never need to worry about that third party watching me or getting popover ads crap?

I prefer "the turd that won't flush"

About as noteworthy as being able to build a computer with discrete transistors, core memory and 20mb hard drives the size of washing machines.

I threw up a little.

Allow me to posit the following: we could very well be minding our own business but still strongly influence the rest of the world. For example, if a company wishes to do business in America -- the world's largest and most lucrative commercial market -- they must comply with US laws. This is no different than any other country. You may not like it, but that's how commercial business works, and it'd be no different if someone like North Korea had the market everyone wanted. You'd just be complaining about a different country.

Don't like it? Don't do business in the US and you're free to do whatever you want. You'll be excluding yourself from probably 70% of the available market, but you're free to make that choice.

Don't forget, your argument can be turned around quite easily: you could mind your own business and stop trying to tell the US how to do business according to your wants/needs. Funny how that works.
