US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo has called out Nvidia for selling advanced AI chips to China in compliance with her own regulations. (Fortune)

The Department of Commerce blocked sales of Nvidia's most powerful graphics cards to China, so Nvidia sent less powerful cards that complied with the regulations.

The department blocked those sales, so Nvidia sold even less powerful cards... That were assembled in China in the first place.
"It matters not if you obey the rules I have set forth. If you endeavour to design a chip around a particular line that enables the forces of evil to explore AI, I shall move to control it the very next day," Raimondo said. "And now at last it comes. You will give me the chips freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!"

Hacked so hard your ancestors will need identity insurance: Hackers were able to access 14,000 23 and Me accounts, probably by finding individual reused passwords from a prior data breach elsewhere. (Tech Crunch)

From there they were able to access ancestry information of 6.9 million additional accounts.

The breach of 14,000 accounts was announced back in October, along with indications that it affected far, far more people than that. Now we know how many more.
You get a free LaserJet! And you get a free LaserJet! Everyone gets free LaserJets! (XDA Developers)

After seven years of legal wrangling, almost 100,000 Google employees are now getting an extra $20. (SF Gate)

Not $20 an hour, which would be fairly generous. Not $20 per week, or per month.

$20.

From the settlement, the lawyers take one third; the state of California takes three quarters of what's left. That doesn't leave a lot, and it's being divided 100,000 ways.
Kioxia's (Toshiba's SSD division) new PCIe 5 server SSD hits 14GB per second. (Serve the Home)

My sister has an Ancestry dot com account where I've been able to access her DNA info, which is always changing subtlety as more people get tested. Eventually might get the answer from my mothers side as to whether Ireland or Scotland was origination. Not anymore - two factor authentication required.

The question I have is... who cares? Except maybe law enforcement?

Was talking to a lawyer yesterday about a class action lawsuit I'm involved in. My question to her was why in the hell are you letting this entity off the hook with a 20% bankruptcy? No answer.

I told her I ran the numbers and the payout per individual is a pittance for sexual abuse. No answer.

Is it because it was predominately male victims? No answer.

23 Evening and morning, all! I'm up earlier than I planned by about 45 minutes. This morning I have to take the car to a local tire store I've used in the past, to repair a slow leak -- the tire is losing about one psi every three hours. Tried a local Firestone last night, but "We can't take you until tomorrow." I'll email my boss, and park with a permit near the office when I get in.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it's 53 F. and about as dry as it gets here. I should go work out.

I really should.

26 “This is the biggest threat we’ve ever had and we need to meet the moment,” Commerce Secretary Raimondo said.

“I have a $200 million budget. That’s like the cost of a few fighter jets. Come on,” she said. “If we’re serious, let’s go fund this operation like it needs to be funded,” Commerce Secretary Raimondo also said.

I grew up having to do drills in school where I dived under a desk out of fear of the USSR dropping nuclear weapons on the USA. That left a mark on my mind that nuclear weapons were the greatest threat the world has ever seen. With this in mind, I think that second quote reveals the true nature of the hysteria in the first quote. We are governed by totalitarians and they are idiots.

So sleeping all night and staying awake all day is a challenge. Its fine though. I'm used to not sleeping well and I'm on vacation. I can nap as much as I like. It's not like I'm golfing. It's been raining off and on around here. Temps are in the 30s and 40s for the most part. I left the golf clubs in Babylon DC anyway. Didn't figure the weather would cooperate.

33 My 3rd run at making Chile Colorado from scratch was almost a complete success. The magic is in figuring out the proper blend of three different chilies, how to properly rehydrate them and the technique needed puree them into a sauce. We are not going to discuss the first two experiments because they were terrifying failures and I don't want to ruin your day. The fourth experiment Will be adjusting the chili ratios slightly and adding a bit more salt to the recipe.

73 The UK, friends:

62-year-old Michael Chadwell sent a meme which featured multi-colored parrots and children of diverse ethnic backgrounds accompanied by text asking why diversity is celebrated in animal species but not humanity.

A Facebook comment below the meme said, “Because I’ve never had a bike stolen out of my front yard by a parrot.”

Chadwell now faces six months in prison under the Communications Act 2003 for what the court deemed a “grossly offensive” implication, meaning he was not even convicted for the content of the meme, but what other people might take from it.

Chadwell, along with other officers who took part in the private chat group, is set to be sentenced later this week at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

Oh, absolutely. I hang out with 29 year olds and am amazed at how many have no idea about Russia, the laptop, the payments, etc., until I remember that those information is activley suppressed because we are no-joke moving towards, and are perhaps already well in, the soviet model.

I say in all seriousness that I can't imagine what it must be like to have grown up in it and only been provided happy-happy information except for the part where you're killing the planet and also your whiteness is evil your entire life, and watching the news remain exactly the same during 2021 and 2022, and then being told that things are better and back to normal in 2023. Not just back to normal but better than they've ever been, jack.

The signal is constant, and unless you've had elders trying to help you understand reality then there's no way to. And 98% of elders don't understand it, either, because the signal is constant. And the 2% that do only understand 2% of what's going on for the same reason.

I'm convinced it's an op. Feminists and gay men, the fashion industry, etc. to make women *make themselves* ugly on purpose.

It's not straight men convincing them to get very well done artistically but still intentionally bad-looking harsh huge black tattoos that cover up thighs and forearms.

It's prison-level stuff. Disjointed black-ink work that would be on males, put there by other males. In prison.

Something I was thinking about a few years ago when I was getting a lot of daylight hours outside. I was thinking of getting a white ball cap with a gold Jerusalem cross (the Kingdom of Jerusalem's flag was the gold Jerusalem cross on a field of white.)

I was thinking: how many people would even get the context or what it was? 1 in 300? Worse? And whether people look at it positively or negatively is almost entirely up to them within the context of their knowledge. Does it matter?

So much of this shit seems too cute by half. *giggling* Oh hey, we are going to use an obscure Nazi symbol while canceling elections and prosecuting political opponents. I do not give a shit about their tattoos- what they DO is more than enough for me.

Different hash from normal Skip. My guess, given context was a guy who does not frequent the site much (or gal) who had a brother who loved the site and did not consider the nic might be already used.

Usage 'trumpster' also makes me think it could be someone who may not frequent the site for other reasons and just wants to let everyone know someone passed away. Would have been nice if they provided a nic.

Yeah, charitable, but people are shitty enough without needing to go look for stuff.

187 I'm convinced it's an op. Feminists and gay men, the fashion industry, etc. to make women *make themselves* ugly on purpose.

It's not straight men convincing them to get very well done artistically but still intentionally bad-looking harsh huge black tattoos that cover up thighs and forearms.

It's prison-level stuff. Disjointed black-ink work that would be on males, put there by other males. In prison.

Popular with lovely young women.

Also part of the op is the "fat is beautiful" lie. Between that and the tats no wonder men's testosterone is dropping.

These are not 'sexy' times. Short skirts, booming economy? That's sexy.

These times are very reminiscent of the Carter years.
