Thieves stole two entire trucks belonging to Plus.ai and got away with 20 tons of raw Nvidia silicon. (Tom's Hardware)

So raw that it was still sand. Because Plus.ai is an autonomous trucking company and was using the sand as a test load. The Nvidia logos on the trucks were related to investments and nothing to do with their contents.

Meanwhile Taiwan's chip talisman snack faces production halt after 94% strike vote. (Tom's Hardware)

If you're wondering what the heck this story is about, it's literally about a Taiwanese snack called Guai Guai, specifically the coconut flavour, which sounds awful.
Fakecloud is a fake cloud if you need a fake cloud. (fakecloud)

For testing against AWS without paying for AWS.
Minecraft is introducing a new dimension. (Xbox)

Showing up first in Minecraft Dungeons 2, and then showing up in Minecraft Minecraft next year. It's called The Sift and it features... Stuff, probably.

The "mee-thane" fan boys at NSF have started their live stream coverage of the Starship launch. This will, knock on wood, be the first orbital flight:

8 The workers think that they are owed because of the company's success. Are they going to ride the company on the way down, after the AI bubble pops?

16 Evening to the late toilers -- morning to the early risers and insomaniacals!

Okay. It's Monday; stipulated. But remember:

"Compared to being on the wrong side of the ground, even a bad Monday is pretty small kumquats, nicht wahr?"

(I told that to an Aldi cashier last Monday. Even though I made it "stuff" and left off the German, she blinked at me as if I were speaking Swahili.)

I am too, tcn . . . but my Saturdays used to be crammed with errands I couldn't run on the workdays. Now I spread those chores throughout the week. Saturdays now are often more like my Saturdays when I was in school, much more relaxed, though without the worry of homework or term papers being due.

18 Looks like we'll get some rain starting Thursday and lasting through the weekend. It'll be sensible of me to wash and spray-wax the car today while I'm out to the grocery and bank.

Come to think of it, Mondays are much like my working-years Saturdays were.

19 G'morning, all!

A pleasant 54.9 degrees out this morning.

I really should try to find the motivation to walk this morning.

But first.....coffee.

21 This devotional is based on Matthew 6:25-34
and is called "checking in". I thought it had some good thoughts about the importance of checking in with God, and it amused me because it is also about training a new puppy:

How I wish, VIA. If I had that kind of temp instead of a soggy 79, my motivation would be at the door like a dog hoping for some walk time.

You're right. Coffee first.

23 Stirling the big black cat was walking around me here on the couch. Usually that means he wants lap and milk-tread time. Given the opportunity, though, he simply strolled across me and leaped down. Too interested in breakfast right now, I guess.

Little Dagny was on the bed when I woke. That's her idea of affection.

The brown (really gray) tabby with white, the outdoor freeloader, got some more dry chow yesterday.

Unions always wind up pricing the labor they “represent” out of the market.

25 I have a prayer request for the praying folks. On Sunday afternoon I have been attending the Anglican Church in North America - which is a split off, more conservative group from the Anglican Church. They have been using the facilities of a local church. Apparently they need someplace else to meet in December because the church which hosts them is having rehearsals for December music programs. If you could pray that another space would become available it would be much appreciated as they are meeting today with someone about this . Thanks so much!

26 Powerline's Scott Johnson has a tribute to John Hiatt posted. While I'm not a huge fan of his singing voice, Hiatt writes some great songs. In one of his, "Memphis In The Meantime", he pays a compliment to the old Rendezvous, a great traditional dry barbeque restaurant that I used to love. No idea if it still exists, but I hope so.

I guess being a subway transit authority worker would be a step down from Aldi's cashier....?

29 58 degrees here, now that the weather has cleared out. The rain and win were desultory here, 50 miles inland from the center of the action. I guess they has some flooding along the beaches. The Lobster House restaurant in Cape May added some AI to their flood video,

30 The flooding is subsiding, might be all gone by tomorrow morning. Standing water everywhere. I want to visit the beach soon.
I will have to get the HOA’s septic tanks pumped out. Otherwise, good early fall weather.

Good morning, Hordians. Up, dressed, morning prayers said, dogs run out, now sitting in the Command Center at Schloss Hadrian recording the Overture in D major by Anton Reicha.

Her Majesty returns from her Tennessee trip tomorrow, so shopping needs must be done. Also seeking to vacuum up the drifts of dog hair that have accumulated in the house.

33 Old time hymns "- For alll that dwell beneath the skies "by Issac Watts who was a non conformist minister, son of a minister born around 1674 . If I am remembering correctly ., Issac Watts who wrote hundred of hymns was kind of child genius with words and when he complained to his father about songs in the church, his father said basically ," If you can do a better job please do it " which he did.
