Top Story

Here's a list of the 49 American AI startups that have raised $100 million or more in 2024. (Tech Crunch)

Top among them is OpenAI, which raised $6.6 billion this year, but close behind is Elon Musk's xAI, which raised $6 billion.

Interestingly Europe didn't miss the boat with Mistral leading the table there with $1.2 billion raised.

What all that money will achieve I don't know.

Tech News

For consumer hardware, it's not achieving much. (Tom's Hardware)

AI PCs just aren't selling. That is, people are buying PCs, and some of them are labeled "AI", but nobody is buying a PC because it is labeled "AI".

Notable Qualcomm's sales of its new Arm-based Windows laptops can be best described as meh.
Meanwhile here's an M.2 card that contains a 24 TOPS AI accelerator. (Tom's Hardware)

More precisely, four 6 TOPS accelerators.

Why? I don't know. But it costs $149, which is reasonable if you need one.
How types make hard problems easy. (Mayhul)

14 @5/Skip:

#19 on that list: "Here's an idea: whenever congressional "leaders" deprive their fellow lawmakers of a meaningful opportunity to read a bill *before* voting on it, we should immediately fire those leaders and elect new ones }}

Sounds good to me. The reaction to being pressed to vote for a brick of legislation you couldn't possibly have the time to read and understand should be an automatic "no" vote. If it's not, the congress critter voting yes isn't fit to sit in that seat.

Darn, missed the solstice. It was at 09:21Z, 4:21AM EST.

Lo, the sun stood still, if we could see it on this side of the planet.

In a quirk of the Erf's orbital mechanics, due to perihelion occurring in Winter, the longest apparent solar day is tomorrow. Note I said longest. The apparent solar day, the time between successive high noons will be 24 hours and 30 seconds tomorrow.

The longest solar day occurs right at the shortest day in terms of daylight. Well, for us in the Northern hemisphere. For Pixy, today was the longest day. So he gets two longests at the same time, being upside down.

25 Good morning, good people, from the Frigidrondacks, it's officially Winter, for 3 more days, until it warms again then restarts the cycle. No appreciable lingering snow yet.

55 Evening and morning on this shortest day of the year -- Saturn's Day, of all things. I missed the solstice too, by about forty minutes.

Two weird dreams: First, Miss Linda and I were at a school reunion, mine, but it seemed to be held in a building much like my junior high school. We had the cats with us. And the reunion people wouldn't let us leave -- like house arrest! Apparently I didn't have a car. If we went out the back gate of the property, which we could see, and walked a couple of blocks, we'd be able to grab a bus to get back to where we lived. (Which seemed to be the place where I grew up on Bourbon St.) I talked a young lady staffer into driving us out the back gate, and we got to the bus stop . . . and then realized we'd left the cats behind.

Wakeup time. Odd.

58 Second dream: I was apparently living on Bourbon St. again, and Linda (? I guess) and I got home after a short trip where we'd left the cats in the care of our upstairs neighbors. The cats were trotting happily around the patio, healthy but hungry. But the bathroom upstairs looked as if a hurricane had hit it -- the curtain and rod torn off and dumped in the tub, mixed with cans of cat food (some opened -- gah!), and other chaos I can't recall. I'd been planning to go to some meeting that night, but in the dream I scrapped it. We cobbled together some food for the felines and started on cleanup . . . and I woke up again.

Even in dreams, apparently, I know how to do a fast transition over dull stuff to the next important scene.

60 Huh. Maybe there's something to calling it "Performative Text". Somebody wrote it. Somebody is spending resources making it appear on a publicly available site. It's purpose is to signal that they are Right Thinking. And yet... the people it's intended to signal that to would never actually sit and read through it. The semantics are there, vaguely, but will only ever be recieved by people for whom the content is negative, meaning it damages the reputation of the poster in their eyes.

Word salad is kind of a goofy little paradox if you think about it.

I didn't try it with big Arizona when I moved to CO; I left him with Linda, figuring she could air-ship him up to me later. Much easier on both of us. Marie-Antoinette the late smart black cat was a talker, and I thought I'd hear her meowing constantly on the trip back to NO. But after an initial bit of chirping each day, she settled right down in the carrier on the front seat next to me and just enjoyed the trip -- or at least endured it silently.

Most all modern OSes run the clock in UTC now, with filesystem time stamps in UTC as well. The only time local time comes into it is display the time to the user.

The big exception is the old FAT filesystems, FAT32 and exFAT being the only ones still really used much, for USB sticks and SD cards and such (I prefer NTFS or ext3/4 for those now anyway).

File times are local, and this causes some strange behavior during DST changes. The time is thus ambiguous. exFAT added a field to allow the UTC offset to be stored as well, but it's not used in all implementations.

Marie was like that. Always she adapted to new circumstances.

Stirling was fine also on the four-hour trip back from Vicksburg where I adopted him. Dagny's trip home from the breeder was only an hour, but she was quiet too.

You can use NTP syncing to do this automatically, and continuously if you like and not have to worry with it. Here, I keep my machines synced to 50ms of UTC. That's pretty easy to do with a broadband connection.

Windows is piss-poor by default, and you have to tweak some things to get the "w32tm" clock discipline set up right. Linux is much better by default, but you can tweak it to do much better. "Chrony" is the best NTP syncing out there.

That running on my little routers is the main time server for my network, and easily does 50ms. I could do better, looks like, than that, but no need to be pinging the NTP servers that much.

There are 4 minute per degree of longitude. If you know your longitude, you can calculate your local mean time (LMT) from this. For example, here I'm 0:28:41 minutes behind EST meridian.

Local mean noon is thus 12:28:41PM here, which is different from "high noon" or apparent solar noon.

In early Web days, content producers were looking for anything to put on a web site other than a logo and a hackneyed motto and thus begat the About Us page.

For vanity's sake, it was senior management, then someone in HR thought it would be great to add individual staffers to make it look like we are one big happy family.

That worked until head hunters mined the About Us pages for talent to poach for other opportunities.

"Noon" comes from Latin. The Romans originally divided the daylight, sunrise to sunset into 12 units, "hora", from where we get "hours". This was variable with the seasons. An hour was about 45 minutes on the winter solstice, and 75 minutes on the summer solstice. They knew this, but didn't care.

"Hora nona" was the 9th hour, 3PM, but it came to mean what we call noon now, the 6 hour.

That's a funny way of spelling "perl".

Dynamically typed scripting languages are nothing new. Everything terribly wrong with JavaScript was also wrong with Rails, and everything wrong with Rails was also wrong with perl and python. For some reason we have to keep relearning that "easy to develop" does not trump "actually works in production" every generation.

170 Howdy! I realize this is sort of off-topic but I had to ask.
Does managing a well-established blog like yours require a lot
of work? I'm completely new to writing a blog however
I do write in my journal on a daily basis. I'd like to start a blog
so I will be able to share my own experience and feelings online.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
Appreciate it!
