Memory manufacturers must be stopped, this is an unholy crime against the order of the universe.

A photo from an IEEE Journal entry titled "A 2Gb/s 1.8pJ/b/chip inductive-coupling through-chip bus for 128-Die NAND-Flash memory stacking" DOI: 10.1109/ISSCC.2010.5433929 It shows a stack of memory dies in different orientations of up to 6mm tall, with a diagram showing a spiral stack of dies with bonding wires.

once upon a midnight dreary
while I wandered, weak and weary
to a quaint and curious icebox door
when I spotted what I had been craving
the plums that you were probably saving
for your breakfast, I am sure
forgive me please, I do implore
I ate those plums and nothing more

"i never used a computer again"

#unix_surrealism #fossangel #vim #ed #comic #monochrome

A man named Velver sleeps soundly in his humble home. "It was a night like no other. I powered down the machine after my evening sermon of preaching the good word of VIM to the heretics in the comments section and then went to sleep." "The room was engulfed in complete darkness, when I was awoken by the sound of fluttering packets and could just begin to make out the shape of a being towering over my bed, struggling to fit inside my small room." "In what can be best described as thunderous voice, it addressed me directly:" FOSSANGEL speaks to Velver: "VELVER ZEDNAR, I AM THE ANGEL OF FOSS: ED(1) IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR."

like people are impressed by shit models because they think that their shit models are capable of becoming good models, if only they could be better

like, yeah, if only they could be the thing they're not, they could be better

got face picking up and running in my modeling tool again~

tomorrow I'll look at getting face box selection working! it's quite a lot harder to get that one right, but I think I can just hijack my edge box selection code and convert it to connected faces, which should cover the majority of cases

Generative AI companies are like arms dealers selling weapons to both sides in a war.

Bob here are tools to turn bullet points into lengthy emails and documents. Alice here are tools to turn lengthy emails and documents into bullet points.

No real value being created.

had a brief moment of absurdity last night

six MUTCD-style mock road signs: "horn test area, one-half mile"; "horn test area" with right exit arrow; "horn test area next 3 miles"; "end horn test area"; "mandatory horn test, all vehicles must sound, horn next 3 miles"; "end horn test"
