2025: TSX hasn't been shipped on a processor for a decade, it is disabled on all processors that support it

Intel, "This instruction will cause an active TSX transaction to abort".

If you are looking to learn, `via science` on youtube has a playlist that introduces QM from first principles (entropy). Highly recommend. They go very smoothing from basic entropy to quantum fields while keeping a solid mathematical foundation.

embracing the Quantum Mechanical school of "shut up and do the math" makes the field extremely boring but a lot more approachable.

the best part of learning QM is realizing how many 'problems' are 'theories' boil down to "we have no evidence this is the case but it would make the math simpler if X were true".

Some Lessons From DeepSeek, Compared With Other Chatbots Here’s the problem with the use case for LLMs: If you know the answer, you don’t need to ask an LLM; if you don’t know the answer, you can’t trust one.

2 images from hackers as characters converse. "I've got a record. I was Zero Cool." "Zero Cool crashed 1.507 systems in one day, biggest crash in history. Front page New York Times August 10, 1988"

Never forget today, when, on this day in 1988, Zero Cool crashed 1,507 systems in one day.

i genuinely apologize if I offended you, i only meant to make a light hearted joke

yes, hence my tweet 😂

i'm speaking in hyperbole but you are indeed correct.

good to hear my info was out of date, i was worried.

we are so utterly committed to holiness of Open Solaris we refuse to fix the 2038 problem

why are people i follow posting about an OS that still doesn't support 64bit timestamps?

or I should there there are filters that 'claim' to be hand pumped RO filters, i never got around to test the one i purchased.

There are hand pumped RO filters if you ever want an exercise in suffering.

math is so cool i wish it was real :(

holy shit busybox is such ass

I'm not angry, I'm paid very well to spend 2 hours per day chatting with people on video calls.

[meeting request 10:30 status update on what was just discussed]

the NTSB disagrees, they have their own e-bike classification (CRS Product Number: IF12459). Provided the bike the doesn't provide more than 750 watts of pedal assisted power (and the pedal assisted power cuts off at 28mph) it just a class III e-bicycle.

no fault bicycle accident insurance exists?

This article is (somewhat) useful en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_...

implying e-bikes are a heavily regulated market and violating said regulation would constitute a crime, the rules are extremely vague

the tensor network is several orders of magnitude smaller (to my understanding) and tokenization is smarter
