And A Bit Edition
Neuro-sama is an AI vtuber developed by a programmer who goes by the name of Vedal. She's very impressive as a single-developer project, though her primary talent seems to be roasting her creator.
And A Bit Edition
Top Story
- Tech industry layoffs are a thing of the past now that the tech industry has stopped hiring altogether. (Vice)
I'm not sure exactly what is going on here. Yes, the economy is doing worse than politicians or the press will admit, but not that much worse. Yes, AI is eating more jobs than it creates, but it's basically a pile of garbage so it's not doing much of anything except selling Nvidia's graphics cards.
Hopefully tech journalists will be the first to go, because the analysis provided by Vice is worse than useless.
Tech News
- LLMs make bad lawyers. (The Register)
Because - as usual - the only thing they know is statistically what words are most likely to go together.
- If you're annoyed by the trend of motherboards having hardly any expansion slots anymore ASRock's WRX90 WS Evo should bring a tear to your eye. (Tom's Hardware)
It has seven full x16 PCIe 5.0 slots, plus two M.2 slots and two U.2 ports, and eight DIMM slots. I/O includes eight USB ports, dual 10Gb Ethernet ports, audio including optical output, and integrated WiFi.
Won't be cheap though.
- Since there are no PCIe 5.0 graphics cards maybe you could use one of those slots for Crucial's new T700 8TB SSD. (Tom's Hardware)
This is actually four 2TB T700 drives on a PCIe card, cooled by those new silent piezoelectric fans from Frore.
Transfer rates can hit 42GB per second, which is a lot.

"THE ECONOMY ISN'T AS BAD AS YOU THINK. MOST OF THE MASS-FIRINGS HAVE ENDED AND INFLATION HAS STABILISED. TOP ECONOMISTS ARE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT 2024. YOUR CHOCOLATE RATION HAS BEEN INCREASED FROM 30 GRAMMES TO 20 GRAMMES PER WEEK."

I think that the Twitter firings are leaving a bunch of people optimistic about how much dead wood, and unnecessary headcount they are operating on, and hedging bets about stuff going forward because nobody knows what on earth is happening.
Ukraine is probably too close to Russia to have been a safe place to accumulate intellectual risks for the tech industries.
Israel had been relatively safe for a while, and home to a bunch of people who had long valued portable heavily mental skills.
The Jew hating psychopaths out of some academic programs are not getting along with the saner Jews. The Jew hating psychopaths have not been purged from industry yet. The saner Jews have not been purged from industry yet. Industry may wind up obligated to pick one of those before too long.
It'd be wise to delay trying to build a more functional organization for future needs until you know which of those is going to happen.
If people sane and decisive enough to purge the Jew hating psychopaths right away were running things, then they would have purged the DIE psychopaths a ways back.
This uncertainty might not be the actual driving uncertainty, but who knows?
