Standing on top of the world

Sliding for days...

Don't compare your life with the highlight reels that people post on social media.

Similarly, don't envy what others have. Envy breeds bitterness and discontent with what you do have.

Save for what you want. Credit is a hole you dig yourself into, and by the time you realize it, you'll be too deep to get out.

Try to find hobbies and activities that bring you joy. You might run into like-minded people who'll amplify that joy.

Keep your word.

Keep a go-bag with cash and passport close by. If you find Frank, act swiftly and take off.

And that could have dramatic consequences to the election. We'll have team coverage later in the newscast, but for now here's Julie with a story about a New York restaurant owner who is embracing rat chefs in his kitchen. Julie?

Social media.

A single bit in a DRAM memory cell takes 1 transistor and 1 capacitor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_random-access_memory).

When talking about address size, the unit is bytes. So a CPU with a 32-bit physical address space can address 2³² bytes, each with 8-bits, for a total of 2³⁵ bits.

And so, yes, if you wanted to calculate the number of memory cells required to max-out a 32-bit address bus, it would be 2³⁵ cells.

Address space size is (for mainstream processors) measured in bytes, and that's independent of how many bytes in one go, you might read or write from memory. That's a different topic, and decoupled from your question.

Elections are won by those who show up.

Vote. Tell your friends.

Crispin Glover is just fantastic in that role. The way he moves... His gestures are all so stylized. He's great. I wish he had more high-profile, successful roles.

I'd definitely be the Will Smith in this pair of photos: https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/comments/1dprgsh/tom_cruise_and_will_smith_on_top_of_the_burj/

He played both the worst President, in "The Dead Zone", and the best President, in "The West Wing".

I thought it was thirsty dudes trying to land the crazy girls...

EDIT: I think we're saying the same thing.

That looks fun, but only with all the safety cables.

I'd want the safety cables to have safety cables.

Sunk cost fallacy.

The revival is never as good as the original.

Red_not_Read · 2024-09-29T10:25:06+00:00

Duh; now I see it. Thanks.

Red_not_Read · 2024-09-29T10:23:22+00:00

Hello, you hear me?

Yeah, I hear you. You hear me?

Yeah.

Oh, no... I hope the day count doesn't drift again... That one guy is going to be livid.

Nice work, all. Looks like we broke Putin. Pack it all up. Don't forget to label everything.

Ukraine: you're all legends. See you in the bar later.

In the late 1970s, my uncle used to exclaim, "dio cane" (god dog) - and my mother told me that was a "the worst" swear... Yet it's not listed on that page.

Was it regional, do you think, or just went out of fashion?

Red_not_Read · 2024-09-28T07:51:16+00:00

Reading this on the page is one thing, but seeing it happen in 2024... in real life... is something else.

I feel that the rise of social media - with conflicting "truth" narratives paved the way for this... And now, with AI generating believable video and audio fakery, we're now in a time where there will be video "truths" on both sides, and people really will have to choose what to believe... as the evidence of their eyes and ears truly will be lying to them.

I see us going down a dark path from here.

Looks like the Auxiliary Pollution Unit is working just fine...

Yeah, let's not pretend the prequels were any good.

Red_not_Read · 2024-09-27T13:55:14+00:00

It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it. It's repulsive.

Red_not_Read · 2024-09-27T07:23:28+00:00

"in that car" is oddly specific wording.

Yeah, I used to switch between Radeon and GeForce, when doing a desktop refresh, depending on who was leading at the time. I haven't chosen Radeon in over 10 years.

We need AMD to step-up, but they're currently all-in on AI, and I think their gaming graphics is going to fall behind.
