Has Elon Musk finally lost Tesla shareholders? (New York Magazine)

In the balance: Shareholder votes on whether to restore Musk's $50 billion compensation package, and to tell the state of Delaware to go fuck itself and reincorporate in Texas.
No. (Yahoo News)

Both votes at the Tesla AGM have reportedly passed by substantial margins.

Ars Technica commentariat hardest hit.

Stable Diffusion 3 is here and it is comically bad. (Ars Technica)

Did you miss those nine-digited hand-feet that you got with the earliest iterations of AI image generators?

Well, they're back, now in glorious 4K photorealism.

Some commenters suspect that in their efforts to stamp out porn, Stable AI stamped out human anatomy entirely. It's plausible because almost everything else in the sample images is convincing.
Smaller than big, bigger than small: ASRock's Deskmate X600 can fit a desktop Rzyen CPU, four memory modules, and two SSDs. (Liliputing)

Four DIMM slots is rare in small form factor systems - this one is a little larger than mini-ITX - so that is welcome, though less necessary now that you can get 48GB modules.
Demented communists are suing SpaceX for creating a workplace hostile to demented communists. (The Verge)

These people display warning signs like a broken arrow frog. Never, ever hire them.
Intel is trucking a 916,000 pound refrigeration unit across Ohio at an average speed of a little under one mile per hour. (Tom's Hardware)

If you live nearby you might want to schedule a day off while traffic clears.
Why Swift is not. (Daniel Chase Hooper)

Broken type inferencing:
swiftc spends 42 seconds on these 12 lines on an M1 Pro2, only to spit out the notorious error: the compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions. In the same amount of time, clang can perform a clean build of my 59,000 line C project 38 times.
They tried to get clever, and failed miserably, ending up with a compiler that can be a thousand times slower in 2024 than Turbo Pascal was in 1984.

Disclaimer: A broken arrow frog is like a poison dart frog, but radioactive.

Good morning, Horde. The Internet is so full of terrible stories about what the regime is up to in every sphere of life. Just go to X and page down for yourselves. I have no faith that this will end well.

Just for starters, search for "Pulse nightclub shooter" on X and see what's being dug up. And that's just 1 out of many similar cases with mass shooters.

Evil is in charge.

8 Peculiar two-part dream last night . . . First I seemed to be living in my old boyhood home on Bourbon Street ('struth!) in the Fernch Quarter. I came downstairs and threw myself on the couch. My mother wasn't there, but someone else, possibly my brother, was. The weather was good, I told him, and I planned to go smoke my pipe outside on the patio.

Then I was in a place like a Bennigans (remember those?). Smoking was allowed, so I knew this was a dream. I'm trying to load my pipe. Another group stopped by, one of whom had a pipe going, and we talked about the hobby and how we'd both fought the "authorities" during the Sniffle Scare. I finally got the pipe loaded and was walking around. But the Bennigans had a produce section (!?), and I thought it'd be poor form to smoke near the apples and pears. Then I woke up.

Oddly, in the dream, I was smoking the exact pipe and blend that I'd laid out last night for my morning puffing this a.m.

They run wide loads on the 4 lane state highway that goes thru this area.
At whatever time they feel like. I'm not quite sure why they aren't required to do that during the late evening early morning times. Sure messes up with traffic.

31 Las Cruces will be celebrating its annual Major Climate Change Riot and Green chili Enchilada cook-off event this week. Temperatures are expected to be between 105° and 109° which would be unprecedented if it was January. In years past this event was known as June, but it was determined that it was not inclusive enough, hence the name change. Protests are scheduled with major looting and arson planned to emphasize that it is a human right for a $200 per hour minimum wage. The Hamas Transgender protest team is expected to tie up traffic for hours with a baton twirling exhibition and the annual setting fire to the Israeli flag with magnifying glasses. Meanwhile, the BLM arson team is withdrawing support for the whole affair because they are not headlining this year's events because they have been relegated to a support role of supplying gasoline in matches. Plan to arrive early and carpool because parking is limited. Face painting will be available to all.

41 A second major sound studio is planned for Las Cruces and marks its emergence as New Hollywood. The economic impact is expected to be significant over the next 10 years. There is concern that there will not be enough restaurant work for the expected influx of unemployed actors. Socially, it is also expected that smugness is going to have a parabolic growth rate.

. . . and NYC is becoming Nazi Germany?

“Long live Intifada,” the crowd cheered, waving flares outside the exhibit commemorating the hundreds who were massacred at the Nova festival. “Israel, go to hell.” Young American adults waved Hamas and Hezbollah flags and chanted, “Resistance is justified, where people are occupied.” Signs declared “Abolish the settler state.” They mean abolish Israel. The New York Post reports that one protester was captured on video declaring that he wished “Hitler was still here.”

69 For months I have been hearing that Disney's new Star Wars series, The Acolyte, was a disaster. Out of curiosity I watched episode 3 which was supposed to be the bull's eye of the disaster. It is breathtaking as it has every woke Disney thang possible. A few examples.

Reveled is a proper woke replacement for the Jedi. In this case, they are a coven of woke lesbians who use the "Thread" as opposed to the "Force."

Anikan Skywalker, aka Darth Vader, has been replaced with black girl twins who were "created" via immaculate creation as near I can determine by the leader of the coven who then immaculately impregnated into her second in command.

Later these two rock and roll Jesuses twins have a major falling out with one becoming evil and the other becoming a saint. In all this actual Jedi's show up and abscond with the sainted one. Unclear at this time if she turns into Luke Skywalker with a vagina or Yoda with a vagina. The evil one slinks off to become, who in the f' knows really, a Sith Load with a vagina or an evil emperor with a vagina. I keep emphasizing the vagina stuff because that is really the center of this cocked up mess.

Watch this at your own peril.

Honestly, the fact that the witches perceive the Force as a "Thread" is not that problematic. It had been well-established in the Legends canon that different organizations in the universe perceived the Force in different ways. That didn't change how it actually worked.

The rest of the story in the Acolyte is still woke garbage, however.

My husband taught me to drive(automatic)after we were married. I was a late learner and he was getting tired of hauling my a** around. He was a good teacher. Passed my driving test with flying colors. I simply could not get the hang of driving a manual transmission though.

79 G'morning, all.

I guess there is a defendant in a Fulton County criminal trial who is known as 'Young Thug', or something like that.

All I knows that Ahley Merchant took the Judge to task for some really shaky shit, and the Georgia Supreme Court has ruled against the Fulton County Judge.

Tied into Fani Wilis somehow, as well.

82 Honestly, the fact that the witches perceive the Force as a "Thread" is not that problematic. It had been well-established in the Legends canon that different organizations in the universe perceived the Force in different ways. That didn't change how it actually worked.

The rest of the story in the Acolyte is still woke garbage, however.

86 I was out all day yesterday with medical appointments but while listening to a podcast I made a connection (not saying I was the original, just an a-ha moment).

It's been noted commonly since at least the turn of the century that there has been a surge in diagnoses of autism and ADHD, and the blame often goes to vaccines or perhaps a sort of Munchausen by proxy by parents. On the podcast a psychologist mentioned that a child may have experienced great trauma like sexual abuse, and the anxieties and other negative symptoms arising from that trauma can be falsely attributed to autism or ADHD.

A disproportionate amount of child abuse, sexual or not, is inflicted by boyfriends of single mothers on their children. Since ipso facto single mothers have poorer judgment, they themselves often misattribute the child's behavior.

So, the uptick in these (mis)diagnoses is at least partially due to fathers (who themselves may have the blame) separated from their biological children and the ignorant "You go, girl!" ethos rampant in our society.

Good morning! 😁

100 Anecdotally, the number of marriages that break up because the dude is a dumbass wastrel who wants to "find himself" is depressing. Leaving a wife and kids to fend for themselves while he shacks up with the creepy weirdo he had been cheating on his wife with. I personally witness an average of a couple a year in the various spheres of society I'm tangentially related to.

Sex is completely an ingrained, intrinsic quality of one's being, so they have carefully turned it into a social construct.

It's critical everything theory. Create a false axiom and any statement can be proven within the system.

Just like the labor theory of value. Garbage in, garbage out. And the goal is to destroy every societal safeguard against talentless violent psychopaths seizing control of society and rule as Kings of Garbage.
