I do find myself appreciating the Patrick Bateman vibe Baron Trump gives off. -

VSCode's remote development agent is an unsecured remote access tool.

This is generally considered a bad thing. -

>The biggest breach of US government data is underway.
techcrunch.com/2025/02/05/the-biggest-breach-of-u-s-government-data-is-under-way/
What Tech Crunch means here is that decades of government malfeasance is being brought to light.
And they hate it.

Will no-one rid The Verge of this turbulent richest man in the world?

Yet another article in the emergent genre of shitlibs at the Verge losing their shit over Musk.
>Still, based on the events that have transpired so far, it seems the clear goal here amounts to a coup over the administrative state.
Jane, you ignorant slut, the administrative state is a coup.
>My editor reminds me that many of you were not paying attention in civics class and so: our government's famed checks and balances system relies on Congress controlling spending.
That's entirely backwards.
The executive cannot spend money not apportioned by Congress, but (with few exceptions) it is entirely within its power not to spend money so apportioned.
That's all it is doing. -

@xianc78 DeepSeek did do some very good work, but there are reasons to believe that they didn't do all the work, such as DeepSeek being convinced that it is ChatGPT -

@MK2boogaloo Why do Americans have entry exams for Uni?
Shouldn't your HSC or whatever you call it cover it -

Surprisingly enough, the answer is yes. There are content creators who post content on PH that is not sexual at all. I read an interview with one who said they do it because PH pays more for content than Youtube. He claimed that the number of views that earned him $1000 on PH (his video was about maths) only earned him $600 on YT. -

This is a depressingly stupid article.
quantamagazine.org/the-physicist-decoding-the-nonbinary-nature-of-the-subatomic-world-20250110/
Key question capturing the idiocy:
>Do the properties of quarks and gluons resonate with you as a nonbinary person?
>Yes, I think the simple fact that gluons carry multiple color charges means they are fundamentally nonbinary creatures.
Can it get any dumber?
Silly question. It can always get dumber.
>I am a physicist, but before that, I'm a person. If someone wants to just chat physics with me, you can't just get my physics, you also get the fact that I'm a trans person and hear about the environment I'm being asked to do my research in.
That's okay. I don't want to chat about anything with you, ever. -

AMD is blaming Intel for shortages of the Ryzen 9800X3D.
tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-says-intels-horrible-product-is-causing-ryzen-9-9800x3d-shortages
Specifically because Intel's latest CPUs are so bad that everyone is now buying AMD. Since AMD's 9000 series before the 9800X3D was kind of underwhelming, although fixed with price cuts, everyone now wants the 9800X3D specifically.
AMD announced the 9900X3D and 9950X3D at CES, so maybe there will be more chips available for purchase soon. -

Can the Nvidia RTX 5070 deliver 4090 performance for $549? No. Are you stupid or something?
theverge.com/2025/1/8/24338999/nvidia-rtx-5070-vs-rtx4090-performance-price
The Verge clearly pays its writers by the word, because it takes a very long time for this piece to come to the obvious conclusion that Nvidia is lying about everything. -

It isn’t that she’s 43. She just doesn’t understand the market she’s in. The guys she wants are already married. Probably to women she considers beneath her -
