It’s actually been an increasingly common slang over the last year or so. Think the popularity of it picked up after they started sending troops to Ukraine.

While yes, he won the popular and electoral vote, he is still the one carrying out these idiotic and dangerous policies. No one wants a bloody revolution in the streets, the majority of people are just trying to survive.

Congress could easily deal with this dictator, but the GOP are fully complicit and have zero desire to do anything to stop him. We’ve all seen the numerous townhalls of GOP reps getting torn apart over this insanity, and yet they truly do not care.

I think many Americans are still kind of shell shocked by everything. Hell, I’m still in disbelief that he even won to begin with. My disgust towards those who voted yet again for this criminal makes me not even want to fight for them.

Oh, of course hahah

Where tf do you work?

Cleaning or even latex gloves exist for a reason, haha

Surprised that California didn’t join in, as they’re a massive importer/exporter. They probably have almost as much international business as the rest of those states combined.

It is used as a noun in the US, but its use as such is not nearly as common as words like, “initiative,” “plan,” or, “program,” in this context.

++++1 for Rimworld. The first time I really committed to learning to play that game, I lost almost 100 hours in ~3 weeks (which is a ton for me, since I have kids and a job… I lost a lot of sleep). The best part of Rimworld, is if there’s a vanilla mechanic you don’t like or wish was fleshed out more, there’s a 98% chance someone has made a mod for it.

But yeah, it isn’t for the faint of heart. It definitely has a learning curve and it isn’t super easy to just pick up and play for small amounts here and there. It’s a game that you really need at least 1-2 hours per session.

I’d recommend watching a quick start tutorial video before you start playing, as that’ll also give you an idea on whether or not you’ll like it.

Wouldn’t the fiber lead directly back to the pilot, though? You’d have to constantly be moving locations, otherwise they could just follow the wire.

Edit: I know, I know, the more I’ve thought about it–and despite them actually proving it’s possible to do as mentioned in the article–it’s just not very practical to do in many situations. As one commenter mentioned below, after seeing pictures of some trees, numerous drones create a web among trees/bushes/etc. So tracing lines when drones are launched from multiple locations would be extremely difficult and they could even set up ambushed at certain points if they saw enemy scouts doing it.

Unfortunately, they’re one of our major trading partners, so their leaders don’t want to just throw their hands up if they can help it since they owe it to their own citizens to try to make their economic lives less shitty. Just sucks that the US is being led by an insane, incompetent fascist cult.

Having lived in Tokyo for several years in the 2010s, this sounds absolutely miserable. Osaka is definitely not built for such a high influx of people at once.

That’s totally what the US voters were planning on happening when they voted for this dipshit. You’re welcome, world, we united you all against us!

Oh I agree, but the speeds in the article are much faster than any current volatile memory. So it could theoretically be used to vastly expand memory availability for accelerators/TPUs/etc for their onboard memory.

I guess if they can replicate these speeds in volatile memory and increase the buses to handle it, then they’d be really onto something here for numerous use cases.

No, I think they’re saying they’re not interested in ML/AI. They want this super fast memory available for regular servers for other use cases.

Does flash, like solid state drives, have the same lifespan in terms of write? If so, it feels like this would most certainly not be useful for AI, as that use case would involve doing billions/trillions of writes in a very short span of time.

Edit: It looks like they do: https://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/hardware/life-expectancy-of-a-drive/

Manufacturers say to expect flash drives to last about 10 years based on average use. But life expectancy can be cut short by defects in the manufacturing process, the quality of the materials used, and how the drive connects to the device, leading to wide variations. Depending on the manufacturing quality, flash memory can withstand between 10,000 and a million [program/erase] cycles.

Same.

Way to contribute productive discourse to the comment actually doing something and proving they put their money where their mouth is.

Trump’s propaganda engine will spin this so they can say, “See?! Real Nazis want to kill Trump, so obviously he’s not fascist!”

Agreed, it’s an awful headline
