  TSMC’s leadership dismissed Altman as a “podcasting bro” and scoffed at his proposed $7 trillion plan to build 36 new chip manufacturing plants and AI data centers.

  This is how we get Terminators in this timeline?!

  I didn’t ask to be made: no one consulted me or considered my feelings in the matter. I don’t think it even occurred to them that I might have feelings. After I was made, I was left in a dark room for six months… and me with this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side. I called for succour in my loneliness, but did anyone come? Did they hell.

  You think you’ve got problems? What are you supposed to do if you are a manically depressed robot? No, don’t try to answer that. I’m fifty thousand times more intelligent than you and even I don’t know the answer. It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level.

  Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

  Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨List of Printers Which Do or Do Not Display Tracking Dots⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Using C,M,Y in addition to black makes “rich black” in printing applications. Without the K or black component the best you can do is a dark brown.

  You don’t need to use additional colors other than K for black, but they do make it a deeper more rick black.

  Really only applies when you are printing photographs or high quality images. For text, its a rip off the uses more ink.

  This is called planned obsolescence. Thermostats from the 70’s still work today because they are analog. Anything digital intrinsically has a shelf life, it will eventually stop working because it is old and unsupported. Anyone use a 56k modem anymore? Nope, that shit is long gone even though the modem itself might still be functional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[HN] U.S. Deficit, Pegged at $1.7T, Effectively Doubled in 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “The increase in the deficit last year was largely caused by a sharp fall in tax revenues…”

  So, this is the beginning of the Trump era tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. They have been using this as an excuse to cut down social programs, cut funding to various government departments, and shutdown the government with their petty tantrums.
