The university of potato ice is actually just daigaku imo ice cream. Other than that it seems accurate. Oppai ice is a real thing.

I did a course in photolithography, including a lab session where I literally made an unpackaged ASIC by hand, using technology that was current in the mid 90s. Etching silicon and doing photolithography is completely out of the reach for a hobbyist, even from scratch, even with 30 year old technology. Reusing a random chip and adding to it is simply impossible.

Essentially, you are looking at the following problems with simply creating a new chip:

1. Need access to a large clean room
2. Need a furnace that can heat up your silicon wafers to silly temperatures in order to do doping via sputtering.
3. Need chemical handling equipment, including safety gear required for handling hydrofluoric acid.
4. Need a photolithography device with your designs.
5. Need to cut, test, and package chips after they are created.

And the additional problems with using an existing chip:

1. Need to decapitate the existing chip and remove it from the package.
2. Need to work with a single already sliced chip instead of a wafer.
3. A completed chip will have metal vias that cover a large portion of the silicon, you would need to perform your chemical etching without harming these or any silicon that has been used.
4. Generally, Asics don't have wasted space, but simply larger components. There would be no footprint available for your design, even if your hobbyist tooling was smaller than the one used for the components, which is probably wouldn't be.

Quest 64 exists despite Quest 63, Quest 62, ... Quest not existing.

Describing a phenomenon is different from endorsing it.

Not to be contrarian, just running a Matrix server is awful, and Matrix has been plagued with security issues in the past, including basic crypto gaps due to lack of domain understanding in the implementation, which is shocking for what is touted as a security first project.

Moreover, I don't know of any acceptable alternatives.

I'm generally one of the first people on any FOSS bandwagon. I've been using Linux as my daily driver since 1999. Matrix is not simply "not as good" or "not up to feature parity" as alternatives. It is in my opinion unacceptably bad and the project leads seem to be actively hostile to efforts to make it better.

In English? Seems a little bit sus.

Ask for more injera. It's cheap, they have a lot of it, and they'll probably be happy to provide you with more gratis.

That being said, sure you can just eat it with your hands if it isn't too hot.

Not sure I care overly much about the fate of the amoral corporation getting fucked over by the fascist regime. They're both juggernauts, and I would love to see them damage each other.

Remember, the falling out wasn't about the morality of the unsupervised spicy autocomplete killing people, it was about who had the liability when the AI went inevitably wrong. Had the DoD accepted the liability, I'm certain Anthropic would have sold the the stupidest version of skynet imaginable.

Smh Tom. You should have known better.

My understanding is that the Gobi Desert has historically been expanding due to desertification of the surrounding grasslands, and the project to plant trees in this area was to halt or reverse this process. In other words, the ecological destruction was already occurring.

But double check me.

AI is something to be genuinely worried about. LLMs are a bubble, yes. They're not great at what they've been shoehorned into, yes. They're a disaster from a security standpoint because of this, yes.

But LLMs are not the totality of deep learning or computer AI, and may not even be the future. We have our artificial inanity bots that do the spicy text auto complete right now, but that's not going to be forever, no matter what Microsoft, Google, and NVidia want you to think for right now.

Artificial intelligence is a problem that has a solution. I cannot tell you how long it will take, but I would be very surprised if I wasn't personally around to see it, which means we need to begin preparing for it now. We need to build systems and structures now that don't carry the inevitable logic that if the riff raff are unnecessary for those in power, then they should be kept docile, ignorant, powerless, and ignored at best, and purged at worst.
