That's 12 24Gb chips stacked up. A lot of memory - relatively - and a ton of bandwidth in a very small space.

It would be amazing except that it's also very expensive.

from the righthand sidebar (lots of it clickable); maybe Megyn Kelly knows:

Megyn Kelly now has all of the Merchant-Bradley texts. Yes, he is a perjurer. He repeatedly talks about the affair, and at one point tells Merchant to not allege a key fact (I think about them having sex in Fani Willis' office) because "not many people know about that" and ther revelation of that fact would reveal that Bradley is the "source."
THIS IS NOT HOW "SPECULATION" WORKS

75 Speaking of Gemini generated images, I found this amusing. The Colorado Avalanche commissioned a black woman artist from the deep South who admittedly is not familiar with hockey to design a hockey sweater celebrating black excellence. She chose to do a portrait of Hall of Famer Jarome Iginla (one of the whitest African-American Canadians ever). The portrait has that AI sort-of-cartoonish look, but apparently she has less familiarity with Jarome Iginla than she does with hockey, because she depicted him with skin tones many shades darker than his actual skin tone, and with a Jeri curl, when he generally prefers a buzz cut. I wonder if she used Gemini..

197 morning yll

The hacking group responsible for taking down Fulton County's websites in Georgia is threatening to publish documents from the state's court system — including ones related to the criminal case against Donald Trump — unless it gets paid a ransom.

In a message posted online Saturday, in both English and Russian, the hacking group called LockBit said the stolen documents "contain a lot of interesting things and Donald Trump's court cases that could affect the upcoming US election."

Initially, LockBit set a Saturday, March 2, deadline for the payment, according to the cybersecurity reporter Christopher Krebs.

It has since moved up that deadline to 8:49 a.m. ET on Thursday, February 29, LockBit's restored website shows.

“I believe there is a craving for media organizations that don’t shy away from saying the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable, even if it bothers people, even if it hinders access, even if it shakes the apple cart,” he said.

212 "The group — led by a hacker using the pseudonym LockBitSupp — appeared to become operational again over the weekend after a February 20 law-enforcement raid. A group of agencies, including the FBI and the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency, took down 34 of its servers and changed its website to a series of messages bragging about the law-enforcement operation. The same day, the US Department of Justice unsealed an indictment accusing two Russian nationals of being involved in the group's hacking operations.

By Saturday, LockBit was back."

218 Rosasharn, about your puppy: If I remember my Albert Payson Terhune stories about collies correctly, "merle" is the tricolor coat, gray and black and tan with some white, right? Very handsome. Among cats that would mean the feline was a female; is that true about dogs?

Shelties are very good-looking. I expect that, like most small or smallish dogs, they're very energetic, especially when young.

Do you have a short list of possible names yet? I came up with "Stirling" and "Marlin" before I brought the current black cat home, and I was pretty sure I'd go with "Dagny" for a female kitten even before I adopted the little Siberian. Fortunately, both names suited their new owners.

227 I was discharged Friday but since then instead of feeling better I still felt fatigued early in the day. I checked into the ER Monday expecting a quick fix but it turned out I made it just in time to avoid transport.

Very anemic, and needed transfusions. Last night I finally got transferred from the ICU dungeon to Gen Pop
Hope to get discharged today but need endoscopy. It seems unlikely to be internal bleeding and more a matter of the liver producing red blood cells. 🤞

Initiative in VA to ban gambling machines in convenience stores is something I can get behind, and my mom detested gambling in general. I for one dislike those machines but wouldn't ban all of them but setting them up in the poorest areas is appalling.
