OpenAI and Oracle reportedly abandon TX Stargate expansion : Meta supposidly considering untapped capacity in deal brokered by Nvidia

@edzitron.com You've said that companies scaling back datacenter construction would be a Big Bad Sign. Is this it? www.theregister.com/2026/03/07/o...

Why would anyone write a 117-word long prompt to an “AI” when they could just launch Filelight and get the answer?

Trump statue holding Bitcoin appears in US Capitol | CNN Politics A 12-foot golden statue of President Donald Trump was put on display on 3rd street, just outside the US Capitol. The temporary statue was unveiled just hours before the Federal Reserve’s interest rate...

Deuteronomy 9:16 "When I looked, I saw that you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made for yourselves a golden idol... You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you."

I'm glad that the developers of #ZFS made it easy to replace a faulted disk with a fresh one, without data loss or downtime. In a few hours, this should switch from DEGRADED back to ONLINE.

The Hammer Films “Dracula” series with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing is also a kind of horror version of “Blackadder".

Update: this session’s school library book ban bill- SB 13 - has been added to the calendar for Monday. 😩

Keep calling your reps to urge them to run out the clock on this horrible bill.

If this passes, we will not be able to undo the harm done to TX public school libraries.

I quite liked it, too. Did it make you want to watch "The Larry Sanders Show" or "Fernwood Tonight", too?

I have to introduce you to my old friend Keevs, who does art like this too
