Based on the old soviet joke, the first time you blame it on your predecessor, the second time you blame it on your advisors, the third time you write 3 letters. Since Kristi Noem was fired yesterday, maybe we've moved into the second

Do you have GI? Does it makes sense for you to use a subagent? Anyhow, a solar-powered calculator (cost: approximately $0) gives a more reliable and more efficient answer than $100 billion and 100GW of AI.

There is an alternate reality where semiconductor advances ended in the eighties. It's called 1990. Anyhow, the WWW was invented in 1989/1990 on a 25Mhz 68040 NextCube. Strictly speaking, the 68040 and NextCube weren't relea

I was at a bar a few months back, drinking some brewskis with my broskis, and there was a guy with a guitar playing some songs. He started singing (bye bye miss) American Pie. Somewhere around the 4th verse he got stuck in a loop and sang
