I mean I guess it's better for them than not being able to sell them at all?

What's your sauce recipe? I use San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil (if I have it), and a random mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until it tastes right.

NVMe's been around for like a decade, they started with PCIe 3.0 for 5th Gen Intel I think.

Holy shit you waited this long for an NMVe drive? You've been on SATA the whole time?

It's a massive repertoire of history that just doesn't exist anymore. Wow.

You better hope people are willing to pay for the ability to remove objects from photos I guess.

When I wrote my paper about datacenter power sources, I got the impression that we're gonna be using alot of gas just because it's easier. Assuming the AI industry grows out the way it wants to, anyways. I'm worried what'll happen if the AI gravy train stops at this point.

This is actually a really great metaphor. Using AI might become a daily thing for people but to do really low stakes, easy stuff conveniently. But I'm not sure if being able to photoshop a cat out of your photo is enough to prop up a multi-trillion dollar industry.

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen As a restaurant owner – I’m astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago.

And this is an average that includes pollsters that are living in some alternate universe where Trump is just kind of divisive and not deeply unpopular.

It's kind of a double edged sword, it does make access to democracy easier but I'd be worried about security and especially the effect on detached and low info voters, who normally don't show up unless it's for people like Donald Trump.

I think price fluctuations on NAND might be a part of it, they took a big dip after COVID and started climbing in 2023. Not sure where they are right now but I assume they kept going up and might be at an all time high.

She would have won if she was true to herself. She could have even won in the electoral count while losing the popular vote. What a missed chance for her.

What's funny is that rate cuts are more likely to happen with the revised numbers. They just want it both ways, to make inflation go sky high I guess.

That's the goal, isn't it? To break America? This is exactly how things would go down if someone who hated the country became President.

Tariffs are a tax on the American consumer and American businesses. Shout it from the rooftops.

Q2 GDP numbers in light of poor indicators basically everywhere else has me really worried. Q2 was one of the best recent quarters solely because we cut down imports massively. But obviously, we're not replacing that with domestic production. It's an ominous sign.

MORE on Trump’s economy… Sounds weak when you put it like that!

My wife recently took a history class taught by a guy who mostly relied on ChatGPT and it was a disaster. The most boring and barely informative history class I ever saw. I don't think Microsoft knows what it's talking about for at least the field of history.

More efficient chips will not change the power consumption in the end, it will just lead to bigger and faster machines.
