Well somebody's gotta be on the side of against Christmas for it to make any sense, might as well be me.
It's like spitting out of a moving car. It's just going to hit you in the face.
This guy was a sleeper agent for over two years?
Russia must have a pretty deep espionage network if it is only until now two years into the full scale invasion that they activated him.
Do they come with pizza ovens? Regular ovens just don't get the dough hot enough for a good crust.
I instead see them not learning a damn thing and putting up Nancy Pelosi as the Presidential candidate for 2028.
I can see some merit to making CEOs change their legal last name to whatever company they're the head of.
Tim Boeing would be a lot more noticable in the public world.
To prevent private equity from doing their shell company nonsense to hide accountability, just double-barrel (n many times) all the companies together in the last name.
Their adherence to the technically correct is awe-inspiring.
This is why monospaced serif typesets are programmer's best friend. That and they look cool.
Or for the numbers, whatever typeset they use for marking airport runways.
Interesting thumbnail poster, using both Zа and Беz spelling. I wonder if the Latin letter Z will eventually replace the Cyrillic variant, З, the longer this war drags on.
I can see it being more practical since З looks an awful lot like 3 for it to be confusing on a daily basis.
I can't wait for The Onion to exercise their editorial power here over Alex Jones. lol
I think he was also on drugs just about the entire time. Who else likes hang gliding that much?
Another physical recall for Elon Musk’s problematic truck.
lol what a shit vehicle
New Outlook also doesn't support Really Simple Syndication, which I used a lot with the Old Outlook.
So back to old Outlook I go.
That's normal space pirate stuff. I'm taking about the extreme space pirating where people tremble at the mention of the name of the pirate because he/she/it black holes them.
Passing the event horizon, spaghettification, and certain death await. Yarrr.
Mmm yes. Unexplained issues that have a single mention in StackOverflow five years ago, have a single reply by the author just saying "nvm I figured it out" and doesn't explain the resolution.
I can't conceive of what I could do with "only" $12 billion from that sequence of events alone, and I'd be lucky to even hit $1 million (wages and retirement) total while alive over an entire lifetime of work.
And if you include the $56 billion or so that he managed to convince Tesla shareholders to give him, it completely offsets the $44 billion he paid for Twitter, getting him ahead by "only" $12 billion dollars.
I can't imagine failing so hard with the Twitter purchase and still coming out ahead somehow, with that much.
It's so horrible and the large black bars make it worse lol
Contemporary high-level programming languages and advanced compilers greatly simplify software development and lower its costs. However, this way of programming can hide the performance capabilities of modern hardware, partly due to inefficiencies of application programming interfaces (APIs). Apparently, a good old assembly code path can improve performance by between three and 94 times, depending on the workload, according to FFmpeg. The hardware this multiplied performance was achieved on was not disclosed.
FFmpeg is an open-source video decoding project developed by volunteers who contribute to its codebase, fix bugs, and add new features. The project is led by a small group of core developers and maintainers who oversee its direction and ensure that contributions meet certain standards. They coordinate the project's development and release cycles, merging contributions from other developers. This group of developers tried to implement a handwritten AVX512 assembly code path, something that has rarely been done before, at least not in the video industry.
The developers have created an optimized code path using the AVX-512 instruction set to accelerate specific functions within the FFmpeg multimedia processing library. By leveraging AVX-512, they were able to achieve significant performance improvements — from three to 94 times faster — compared to standard implementations. AVX-512 enables processing large chunks of data in parallel using 512-bit registers, which can handle up to 16 single-precision FLOPS or 8 double-precision FLOPS in one operation. This optimization is ideal for compute-heavy tasks in general, but in the case of video and image processing in particular.
The benchmarking results show that the new handwritten AVX-512 code path performs considerably faster than other implementations, including baseline C code and lower SIMD instruction sets like AVX2 and SSE3. In some cases, the revamped AVX-512 codepath achieves a speedup of nearly 94 times over the baseline, highlighting the efficiency of hand-optimized assembly code for AVX-512.
This development is particularly valuable for users running on high-performance, AVX-512-capable hardware, enabling them to process media content far more efficiently. There is an issue, though: Intel disabled AVX-512 for its Core 12th, 13th, and 14th Generations of Core processors, leaving owners of these CPUs without them. On the other hand, AMD's Ryzen 9000-series CPUs feature a fully-enabled AVX-512 FPU so the owners of these processors can take advantage of the FFmpeg achievement.
Unfortunately, due to the complexity and specialized nature of AVX-512, such optimizations are typically reserved for performance-critical applications and require expertise in low-level programming and processor microarchitecture.

A man in Japan who has four wives and two girlfriends – and aims to father 54 children – wants to become the “God of Marriage”.
Ryuta Watanabe, 36, who lives in the northern prefecture of Hokkaido, has not worked for 10 years and lives entirely on the salaries of his wives and girlfriends.
His wives are common-law in nature, recognised as partners in a marriage-like relationship without formal registration, based on long-term cohabitation and shared responsibilities.
Watanabe is already the father of 10 children and lives with two of them and three of his wives, Japan’s Shueisha Online reported.
He takes on the role of a house husband, cooking, doing housework and taking care of the children.
The household expenses, which are almost 914,000 yen (US$6,000) a month, are split between his wives and girlfriends.
Watanabe also has a fourth wife, who is 24 years old, but they are estranged. In addition, he met two girlfriends via social media platforms.
Six years ago, a depressed Watanabe who was living on welfare, was dumped by his girlfriend.
He said it was this that pushed him to start dating various women through dating apps.
Earlier this year, on the Japanese TV show Abema Prime, Watanabe said: “I just love women. As long as we love each other equally, there won’t be any problems.”
Watanabe also said that each of his wives has her own room, and he rotates sleeping with different wives every night.
He claimed to have sex more than 28 times a week, and said his wives never get jealous, instead, they get along well like friends.
Watanabe aims to break the record for the most children fathered in Japan, becoming a so-called God of Marriage.
Online sources indicate that Tokugawa Ienari, a shogun who died in 1841, fathered around 53 children with 27 concubines during his reign in the Edo Period.
Watanabe said: “I want to have 54 children so my name will go down in history. I’m still looking for new wives.”
Polygamy is illegal in Japan, meaning Watanabe cannot legally marry multiple women at once.
Watanabe’s unconventional family lifestyle has attracted attention on social media.
One person on YouTube said: “His kids will never be able to have a close relationship with their father because there are just too many of them.”
“I would never let my own children end up like this man,” said another.
However, a third took a different view: “They seem like a happy family. Respect their choices.”
