- Comment on Intel CEO Lost A 40% Discount For TSMC's Latest Chip Tech After Taiwan Remarks - Report 3 weeks ago:
Ever since Gelsinger took over the helm at Intel, the firm has focused on reestablishing its manufacturing technology leadership in the global chip manufacturing industry and setting up a contract manufacturing division to compete with TSMC. At the same time, Intel is also working with TSMC to outsource some of its production needs to the Taiwanese firm.
For fucks sake, he’s just into BDSM apparently. Wants to take it in the A while sucking the D. While of course pissing away billions the rest of the world could use for so many other things. Sigh.

Right?? What struggle did they face to come to terms with their sexuality or gender identity? It’s completely hollow.

These would be 20-year-old Emilia Nowa, “a journalism student [and] pop culture expert,” who is “passionately following the latest trends in the world of cinema, music and fashion”; 22-year-old Jakub Zieliński, who’s studying Acoustic Engineering at AGH (a Kraków university); and rounding out the three was 23-year-old Alex, a former psychology student who is “socially engaged, passionately discussing topics related to identity [and] queer culture.”
Do people even ‘bond’ with characters who are totally fake? How can you be into their life and story and everything, when none of it is real? It’s different when you’re watching a cartoon or something. It’s objectively not trying to pretend to be human. This above feels gross.

The fact that this happened is surprising in general, but not super practical.
What’s the big deal? A: It affects other types of hardware which also used these crypto libraries. Some are easier to address than others.

It doesn’t mean that the US factory is any less capable. What needs reworking is meeting the expectation and planning for contingencies. There should be ongoing shifts, specialized teams, rotation, mitigation, etc. I think our output is comparable but it’s done more safely and sustainable over a longer time VS grinding workers to dust and replacing them.

- Comment on Mozilla is trying to push me out because I have cancer – CPO 4 months ago:
Did you read the article? It seems like they had a plan to make him CEO, he got sick, they quickly found an interim CEO, and the moment he got back:
On the day Teixeira returned to his job, it’s claimed, he was instructed to lead a company-wide layoff of 50 people, 40 of whom were in his MozProd organization.
Followed by:
“Mr Teixeira had ethical concerns regarding the layoffs because they were primarily motivated by a desire to increase profit margins at Mozilla, which was already operating at a profit,” the complaint claims. “Mr Teixeira viewed this as antithetical to Mozilla’s values as espoused on their website: ‘We’re backed by a non-profit, which means we prioritize the interests of people first, not corporate profits.’”
They continue to retaliate against him by denying him bonus, and trying to maneuver him into a demotion. They even had the shitty audacity to say like “well this frees up time for your cancer treatments” which at that point he wasn’t getting anymore.
The complaint claims that Teixeira, appointed in August 2022, helped reverse the decade-long decline of Firefox, which generates about 90 percent of Mozilla’s revenue and is the company’s only profitable product. He’s further credited with growing Mozilla’s advertising business, and AI capabilities, and with reducing investment in the money-losing Pocket service.
Sounds to me like they’re just being really shitty to this guy who has done a lot for the company in general and was on his way to CEO before the poor behavior of these two (Chambers and Chehak).
- Comment on Mozilla is trying to push me out because I have cancer – CPO 4 months ago:
3 months. End of October to start of February. It shouldn’t matter though. How long should he have worked there before he’s allowed to? Like if he was CPO for five years and then got cancer, would that have been OK? At what point does it become not ok?
Also he’s got history there and this promotion was due to that. I think they just expected from him to take the reigns on some stuff and then wasn’t there because of the cancer treatment which is 100% understandable. Mozilla isn’t going to collapse in 3 months.
Further, having his first act when he came back be getting rid of 50 people… That’s just shit management from above. That is retaliation.

Now do one for One Drive downloading files from your desktop by default on Windows 11. It’s default opt-out now. So until you notice it’s uploading everything to the cloud and stop it… You’re getting no notification about the behavior or a choice to enable it in the first place. Just gobbles your data to the cloud without asking.

- Comment on Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI 5 months ago:
I know Microsoft is a controversial company from Start Menu ads to Balmer’s dancing ability. But! I have been following the AI topic pretty religiously and they have known that this would be the case for quite a while. In fact part of OpenAI’s growth struggling and subsequent partnership with Microsoft involved power generation.
Microsoft has been investing in electric power including using small module nuclear reactors. Sam Altman has been putting a lot of effort into power as well, acknowledging long ago that electricity generation is critical for AI. He’s been pushing into green energy also. Exowatt, Helion, etc.
So yes, the carbon footprint is going up now because they ‘had’ to unleash this genie from the bottle first or someone else would have. At least they know that the need for stable electric power and green power or renewable and efficient power is necessary and have been pursuing these solutions actively.
It should be so that they really change things so that power grids are more stable and renewable energy is better utilized. So to me, there is hope they are doing the right thing and putting effort where it matters.
I’m more effing disappointed and concerned about @$$h0les like Ron Desantis doing things like this. What the actual f00k??!
