Memory prices are crazy. I bought 96GB of DDR5 6400Mhz sticks for $320 back in February. Now it’s $750.

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 was awarded to Maria Corina Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
Last few words are almost like they’re thumbing the nose of one specific person.


I think this means Intel’s Arc GPUs are dead. $5 Billion seems like a small price to pay for NVIDIA to remove a potential future competitor off the market.


What a disappointing week. I was looking to replace my five year old iPhone with an android phone and now I’m just stumped. Pixel 10 looked pretty good but then this sudden verification requirement news hit. Both platform are now equally crap. The hell with both of these shitty companies. Maybe I’ll go full retro and get a dumb phone instead.


Sam Altman has gone into PR and hype overdrive lately. He is practically everywhere trying to distract the media from seeing the truth about LLM. GPT-5 has basically proved that we’ve hit a wall and the belief that LLM will just scale linearly with amount of training data is false. He knows AI bubble is bursting and he is scared.


Louisiana has been doing this for decades. It’s the same old story of large corporations getting massive tax breaks while little guys gets screwed over.


Which tech company would buy Chrome from Google? I just can’t think of a single tech company that could be an improvement over Google owning Chrome.
Amazon
Apple
Meta
Microsoft
Oracle
What about media companies? I don’t see consumers benefiting from this.
Comcast
Disney
Netflix
Viacom
What about telecom? I still don’t see consumers benefiting from this.
AT&T
T-Mobile
Verizon
What about foreign companies? Will they be even allowed to buy Chrome? I’m not sure.
LG
Philips
Samsung
Sony
The more I think about it, this won’t end well.


Here is a guy explaining the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WldSl3HGr8
It appears multiple panels on the truck are just glued on which is crazy. Will Tesla just slather on bunch more glue and call it good? That seems like a bandaid over a pretty major problem. I’ll be sure there is a large distance between my car and one of these shitty trucks on the road in case they decide to shed some large panels.
Short answer, no. I know several people that are narcissists and they don’t get better over time. In fact I think they’ve gotten lot worse. If you’re in a relationship with a narcissist and perhaps thinking this person may get better over time, I have a bad news for you. No. Most definitely won’t. No amount of therapy will “fix” narcissism because for any behavioral therapy to work the person first has to admit they have a problem and want to get better. Narcissists are simply incapable of doing just that. Only solution is to remove narcissist from your life. Do it as soon as possible. Yes, I’m speaking from first hand experience.
