The current AI boom is the crypto boom of recent memory, except without even the benefits of libertarian wish-fulfilment. The "AI bros" are just idiots:

1. Ever wonder what the rest of the Mona Lisa looks like?

Got @Adobe Firefly to help fill out the background for me with the power of AI

Here's what the backgrounds of the most famous paintings in the world look like with AI: pic.twitter.com/2nkqESLrE9

No, Kody, I've never wondered what the rest of the Mona Lisa looks like, because there is no rest of the Mona Lisa.

His thread has accrued 6000 quote tweets so far, none of them kind.

Tech News

Corsair has announced new DDR5 memory modules running at 8GHz. (AnandTech)
SK Hynix has announced new HBM3E memory modules running at 8GHz. (AnandTech)

The difference is that DDR5 uses (typically) eight chips to populate a 64-bit memory bus, while HBM uses one chip to populate a 1024-bit memory bus. Which makes it just a tiny bit faster.
ASRock has announced a 55" 8k monitor. (Tom's Hardware)

I've been looking at getting a 65" 8k TV to act as, well, a TV, but also as a computer monitor - though I just checked current prices and they're a complete joke. No, wait, there's one LG model that isn't insanely expensive. Anyway, to serve as a dashboard for everything I do that's legible from across the room and still looks sharp when viewed close-up.

An actual 8k monitor would be preferable, but the very few models available so far are aimed at professional use and cost a fortune.

We'll see how this one fares. With that 55" screen it clearly reuses a panel designed for TVs and should bring costs way down.
Crucial's new T700 is the fasted consumer SSD available. (Hot Hardware)

Though if you try to run it without a heatsink it might slow down a little bit. Where a "little bit" in this case can exceed 99%.

A "conservative McDonalds" chief identifying characteristic is that it is staffed by people who can competently make change and count it out for you as they present you with it.

Such places are now completely imaginary, of course.

Now, the presence in one of the booths of two nattily dressed ~~men~~ glowies who wear their Ray Bans indoors is a tell that the Feebies suspect they are in a "conservative McDonalds", particularly if it is located near a Catholic church.

That's interesting because my first batch is always the absolute best. Clean pan, new butter, no burnt residue, etc. I've been cooking long enough - and especially pancakes for the kids long enough - that I know how long to leave the pan on before putting them in and how long to cook each batch.

The others are fine, but the first batch is prized.

For their stipends, FLIP participants work eight-hour shifts Tuesday through Saturday. The workers get training in conflict resolution, but their credibility to mediate disputes and know when friction between groups is leading to violence comes from having been involved in street-level violence, said Terrance Henderson, manager of Outreach Operations for CRED.

189 A Chicago man wearing a neon yellow “peacekeepers” vest helped a group of people beat and rob a motorist in Little Village on Friday night, according to a Chicago Police Department report.

Who will peace the peacekeepers?

Ummmm...
Doesn't the term "peacekeeper" inherently mean there is already peace to be kept? How does one keep what does not exist??

Since it's the tech thread I guess I could also call it three position for those who start counting 0,1,2,3.

After all, what would be the lowest final four digit number in a phone directory? 0000 or 0001?

Talk about kink, they sell one that makes pancakes in the shape and details of a fish. It's the old question of 'too much, or not enough' I guess.

208 I just heard a radio interview with a journalist in Uma, Arizona.

The reason you're not seeing anything from the border is because the U.S. border is being enforced from *inside* the border, and any journalists or anyone else trying to record or take photos is seized and pushed into Mexico.

This is not a joke. Apparently there are notifications that it will happen. They pretend it applies to everyone, but somehow only the Americans with cameras are being transported and dumped into Mexico without passports for re-entry.
