I've heard from a guy involved in the bond market thst the economy is in major recession outside of the Mag7 and AI stocks.

Apparently secondary markets, insurance reinvestments, private credit, pension funds - they're so heavy in AI stocks to just beat inflation that when Sam said tokens aren't selling fast enough with the decreasing cost of generating them to turn a profit they started bracing for an Everything Crash.

Like insurance companies failing, CRE going into foreclosure, pension funds defaulting, bond-issuing companies liquidating equity to meet obligations, etc.

Treasury would have to hyperinflate to bail them all out, transferring massive wealth from the People to the Corporations, yet again.

That's gonna get spicy and probably stabby.

Shout out to the few folks here who remind us that they block just about everything on the web that could cause problems - the only ones of us who are probably safe.

I bet a few don't even allow stylesheets.

Yes, check out the Business Reform Youtube channel - he reviewed a couple of sonic jammers recently.

Also "Bee Gone" from our friend group if somebody tries this. Might be more effective.

Congress has exercised Inherent Contempt powers as recently as a hundred years ago but they turned the Congressional Jail into a speakeasy/conference room which roughly reflects their sense of duty.

Which, to your point, they now refer the DoJ to the DoJ for prosecution.

But also that illustrates why prior Congresses held the power to be essential.

It would have been grand if "The Dow, the Dow is over fifty thousand!" landed Bill Barbie in jail until she had time to think abour her duty to respond truthfully.

I've reminded Paul about his duty but they're all weak on such matters.

If only Alan Watts had known about the biological processes tied to the Schumann Resonance, 1G of gravity, and the Circadian Rhythm ... he would have come to the same conclusions.

Deep Space explorers are going to have to create mini Earths if they want to stay healthy.

This is very disappointing to the Platonists and Transhumanists.

I've heard that Zoomers are fleeing anything funding Paramount/WB products now that funding of IDF is such a straight line. They might need higher fees to offset the volume losses.

I'd probably do so too if I had been. Not sure how people have time for such things in this environment.

The trick is the average person can't keep that basic computer secure either.

"Be your own bank" is good but banks have armored cars and vaults and insurance.

If you write down your seed you better keep it in a place where nobody can ever find it.

There's no great solution that will always work. Some people do a dedicated Graphene phone and bury their seed stamped into titanium using a OTP in a forest an hour from home but for others there's a reason hardware wallets have market appeal.

I wish I had these four billion dollar problems. If these devices support multisig you could at least have a few of them.

Well each Matter release is supporting more device classes so hopefully fewer devices will need apps over time.

Apple support of Thread will help it gain momentum. Ikea helped but people want to sell to Apple customers.

I run OTBR nodes alongside ZigBee devices and Thread is much less reliable even though it should be better in every way.

I've stopped buying Thread devices for now even though it will eventually own the market.

The one thing I won't buy is Thread over Wifi devices, i want home stuff on completely different networks.

Now ask why the FBI didn't arrest him on those Epstein charges. Or any other Epstein clients.

Where's Katie Johnson's 302?

Why is DoJ illegally withholding and redacting millions of files?

Don't mistake two enemies fighting for friends.

Oh, and they're actively framing an autistic black man for terrorism.

There's always been suspicion about why Mozilla was so reluctant to support JPEG-XL where code would come and go, it would be implemented and pulled, etc.

Speculation was that while Google was paying Mozilla $300M/yr they were also trying to make webp happen. The AV1 stuff was good but shoehorning it into a static image format wasn't the best.

Same idea as why IPv6 took 30 years to catch on - it didn't offer most people much more with extra work required to not get much benefit.

JPEG-XL did so much more but mysteriously languished.

That Mozilla jumped as soon as Google did is noticeable. They used to be an industry leader but maybe all those people have moved on or been pushed out.

I helped clean up a 2021 laptop yesterday that had 32 gigs of RAM with a half TB of storage.

It was a standard-issue company laptop at the time.

Can you imagine paying more for an 8 gig machine today?

It may be the new normal but people without an urgent need are waiting to see if the bubble pops.

There doesn't seem to be a free market road to profitability without a significant resource breakthrough so maybe they're right.

At least CPM isn't CP/M but I always have to think twice.

Good call adding punctuation to the initialism, though.

If that'll all they intended they could have agreed on a very narrowly-tailored agreement limiting the use to the same aspects of the film as manual animation.

Maybe Cage is doing some solidarity thing with animators or maybe Amazon intended to do much more and were attempting an underhanded trick.

It's hard to tell except you'd expect Cage to say something if animators' jobs were his cause.

It sounds like his agent or manager knew what was up.

> you apparently desire to use systems beyond their design points

Who doesn't include cost in design?

If my CPU/SoC is plenty fast for my task and the DRAM is faster than I need it to be and a CPU instruction to compress takes less power than a write out to the bus - it would just be wasteful to manufacture and purchase twice as much DRAM as the application needs.

Either the end user gets a better price (and all money is the result of expending energy, so we save again) or the manufacturer makes a larger profit (in a constrained market).

Now then - all you lunatics embedding Electron and costing me 400MB to send an 80 character text message - we need to talk about this.

CRAM seems like a great idea but it's not the solution to not caring about the Craft.

Can't tell if we should moderate the article as Troll or Flamebait.

Commenters have already pointed out the dishonesty of the prose based on their own published stats.
