An X-ray scan of the 386 chip. It shows a square with a grid of 132 pins. In the middle is a square, the silicon die. Blue wires connect the pins to the chip. Spikes stick out all around the perimeter of the package.

Intel's 386 processor was popular in late 1980s microcomputers. From the outside, the 386 chip is a boring ceramic square. But I obtained a 3-dimensional CT X-ray scan from Lumafield, revealing six layers of complex wiring hidden inside the ceramic package. Let's take a closer look... 1/N

Just got out of Ghost's KC show. It was a no-phone concert which is a genius idea. Everybody was just hanging out in the moment instead of sitting on their phones. Definitely see them if they're close because the set was awesome!

I think we lost something when people stopped making websites and started making posts. Even MySpace was a way cooler form of social media that let you customize your page to the nth degree.

A blue box to the left with four sillhouette-style humans, each notably wearing wizard-like robes from the Harry Potter universe. The box says Codenames and Back to Hogwarts on it, with Harry Potter in golden letters at the bottom. To the right, a cartoon astronaut head in a Harry Potter scarf winks, a variation of the logo of board game publisher Czech Games Edition.

Reviewers including No Pun Included and Shut Up & Sit Down are boycotting Codenames publisher CGE for releasing a new Harry Potter-themed game while ignoring JK Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric:

My take is if you allow people to build PRs for your project you need to have a process for dialogue and review. That or just turn off PRs because the alternative just feels like stealing people's free labor.

Stealing people's work sucks, even if it's one line. I've contributed large PRs to projects that get closed and the author writes the equivalent change themselves, which is a great way to never have anyone bother to contribute to your project again.

If LLMs were superintelligent, AI companies would use them secretly to build a perfect options trading system, the next Minecraft or Avatar, Gibson's Idoru, their own 'Employee as a Service', and keep every dime of profit.

Instead, the public has to be bullied to use it. It's more an MLM than LLM.

I would personally burn down an antebellum mansion in exchange for one (1) meal of Ethiopian food yes it is in fact that good what is that guy talking about

apparently japan calls vampire survivors and the like 'mowing games' and they kinda nailed it with that one

One of the coolest pieces of art to grace the game box

Awesome, this one's one of my favorite "T" games!

Finally got another copy of the classic Mechwarrior 2 boxed set after all these years, thanks to @artofbattletech.bsky.social. Got it in a big display case with my 100 MM Timberwolf based on the same box art.

Absolute pure nostalgia moment.

An anonymous tumblr ask that says: purchased A Comprehensive Guide on How to Ethically Implement Al in Your Business expecting a substantive, thoughtful resource. What I got was a one-sentence-long book that serves as little more than a thinly veiled anti-Al rant disguised as ethical guidance. Frankly, calling this a "comprehensive guide" is not just misleading —it feels like a joke at the reader's expense. If your goal was to frustrate and disappoint professionals genuinely seeking ethical Al strategies, you've succeeded. P.S. Al isn't as bad as you seem to think. In fact, this entire message was written by ChatGPT-respectfully and logically, without bias or fearmongering. Food for thought.

This anonymous hate I got on tumblr is the best review that I could have asked for.

I wish I had written “thinly veiled anti-Al rant disguised as ethical guidance” on the cover of the book

Love this game! We use it to teach folks COIN at the local game store and it always manages to wrap up in 2-3 hours. Really interesting decisions throughout, too

You know you can just not use AI, right?

You can make a choice not to be part of this.

Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.

You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.

The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
