Mostly Dead Edition
I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't this.
End of episode one, and the gang is off toIscandar Ikebukuro to save the world uh, no, that part was correct.
Some gorgeous animation, great music, strong voice acting, and I somehow think someone on the production staff likes trains.

Top Story
- Turns out I was wrong: Google had nine of yesterday's pro-Nazi protesters arrested, then fired all of them. (CNBC)
I still wouldn't trust Google with anything sharper than a rubber spoon, but this is a rare positive sign.
Tech News
- How many bathrooms contain neanderthals? (John Hawks)
The number may surprise you. Because it's greater than zero.
- With some power plants still offline following the recent earthquake, TSMC has stepped in. (Tom's Hardware)
TSMC has backup generators for all of its many factories - big ones - because having the power go out can ruin tens of millions of dollars of chips.
So now it's helping back up Taiwan's electrical grid as power plants are return to operation.
- Samsung will be introducing 10.7gbps, 32GB LPDDR5X modules later this year. (AnandTech)
Not sure if that's a 64-bit or 128-bit bus. Checking their existing products, it looks like they only offer up to 64 LPDDR5X RAM, so two of these packages would give 64GB of very fast memory.
- Nvidia has announced the A400 and A1000 video cards, for people needing professional graphics cards but not professional graphics speeds. (Serve the Home)
These are half-height, single-slot cards that only use 50W, so don't expect them to be speed demons. The A1000 is likely about half the speed of a 4060, and the A400 half of that.

I don't give Google any credit at all for those firings. In a way, it's actually a BAD sign. If those idiots had staged a sit-in on the freeways, or at somebody else's business, they'd still have jobs. This just shows that the google executives are still woke, but also thin-skinned tyrants willing to lash out when it's themselves being inconvenienced.

If they act in their own interests, that's a sign of rationality. It's the self-destructive behaviour that worries me most.
It's not much - it's hardly anything - but still better than nothing.

Google fired them because they were getting in the way of a money making deal. Not out of anti-wokeness.

I've liked the Train show so far. The Gal is especially cute.
Gatan Gatan is clearly onomatopoeia for the train running across rail joints. Yeah, the train and tracks are CGI, but that's sensible for machinery. And yeah, the "Series 2000" is clearly some railfan's wet dream.
