always love it when our ruling class is unhappy that their local poor aren’t as poor as africa is.
you can feel it like idly poking us with a stick. “come on, you don’t really deserve a fridge man just think of the africans”

@Yung_saltinez @RogueScholarPr Ever wonder why food in 3rd world schools looks better than here? Because most of them make and grow the food locally. But because there's no farms in the hood, we have to rely on govt subsidized shit.

@Yung_saltinez @RogueScholarPr As someone who spent a year on Florida EBT, I could buy anything but shitty processed drinks and snack foods. Most produce and fresh meat werent applicable. It's all a scam. (Cont).

Things were much better 25 years ago when schools were given government surplus staples and actually had to cook with them.
Everything switched over to trash Sysco frozen foods when the free-and-reduced lunch subsidies flooded them with money. https://twitter.com/markfacebk/status/1470091313492238345

Looks like a German scientist straight out of a Wolfenstein game
the Simba ISA added some novel synchronisation instructions.
there are 2048 flags that can be set, cleared, and waited upon (waiting for high or low).
this will allow the hundreds of running compute kernel instances to be conducted properly.
oh man i bet the american ruling class is so scared of losing their call centers and imported pajeets so they can be replaced with poor people from where i came from. how terrifying whatever shall they do but pay more oh no theres simply no alternative at all is there

One very interesting trend I’m hearing: everyone is struggling to hire senior engineers, designers, tech leads.
Except.
Some well-funded web3 projects that are smashing it thanks to excitement, cash compensation + (token)upside.
Keen to learn more on this. (DMs also open)

achievement in this world is less about what you see and more about what path you walk.
life in motion means so much more than a still.
even the best out there often seem to be missing some of the big answers lol

this is the second iteration, created as i copied the ISA over from my excel workbook for Project Tristan.
it is not only less clunky but wastes no ISA space for instructions while balancing it with the needed functionality.
Resident sociopaths conflate shared delusion with social convention. More at 11.

high-level product overview:
– 32 general-purpose 64-bit integer registers
– 32 quad-precision 128-bit floating point registers
– fixed-width 16-bit opcode size
– 16-bit addressing of a hybrid memory layout
– epiphany-like memory architecture for massive performance-per-watt
finished creating the 16-bit ISA for Simba™, now on the wiki!
and dare i say that it is mathematically perfect https://wired.infracoms.org/wiki/Simba
oh no
somebody noticed that the functional programmers are hypocrites

can never tell if the people who've made "cryptocurrency Bad" their personal brand are actively doing it because it furthers their economic interests, because bonding over hating stuff is appealing, or as a way to cope about their role in software/hardware/financial industries https://twitter.com/dystopiabreaker/status/1470126927818067969
