If you want to dig through old tech, there's Re-PC in SoDo. Haven't been there in a while, but they have a little museum in back. I think it's closer to the Stadium station than SoDo. http://www.repc.com/museum.html

Bought a used 2017 iMac 27" for $107. It's missing a screen, but I have a spare off a broken one.
One part of the listing was wrong. It does not have 8GB of RAM.
It has 64GB. Which pretty much triples the resale value, though I still can't think of a real-world use for that much memory in a desktop outside of a YOOOOGE ramdisk.

@npub1gnt…l82j on the OpenAI round:
"SoftBank — best-known for sinking $16 billion or more into WeWork and getting swindled by its founder, and dumping a further €900m into Wirecard, which turned out to be an outright fraud, with one founder now a fugitive from justice in Russia — is some of the dumbest money in the market, and a sign that any company taking it is likely a little desperate."
Bullseye.

Direct questioning is banned under the rules of the debate, and of course the mics were supposed to be off. Trump breaks the one rule, without Harris knowing if her own mic is even on.
If she could do direct questioning, as we can see from her Senate committee work, she’d mop the floor with him. #Debate

Just recently got an update to Zoom on my M1 mini that's actually... good? I can switch with one click between user cameras and what's being shared, icons and interactions make sense, etc. Seems like the interface I've wanted since, like, Covid, but I'll take it.

Smart move by Apple to refuse to generate photorealistic images of humans. Google's off selling gen AI to alter photos directly and IMO they're going to end up in a world of hurt once it's in the wrong hands.

That Fleet logo shares an awful lot of DNA with a Hartford Whalers logo, rotated 90°. Which makes sense because it’s a) not far away and b) the greatest logo design in North American sports.

In the wake of the police murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson, it became more widely known that police depts/courts in the area were basically funding themselves with random stops, BS charges, enormous fines (compounded by failure-to-appear fines on top), _and_… aggressive civil forfeiture. The vast majority of which took place in poor, mostly-Black towns like Ferguson.
20% of Ferguson’s GENERAL FUND at the time came from fines.

More evidence that at the heart of most of the big cons of this era (crypto, AGI cheerleaders _and_ doomers), and some of the shorter ones (nudify apps, looksmaxxing, Jordan Peterson, bro-casters), are 2000s-era pickup artists.

I am actually pretty interested in these Intel Core Ultra SoCs (and the comparable Ryzen SoCs) because I think being able to run a ~7B model on-device could be reasonably useful.
That said, I’m waiting until there’s a Linux distro that really brings the NPUs to the party. I do not trust any OS to do with that resource as it sees fit. I want to know 100% of what it’s doing.

The Red Bull/VCARB situation is like a telenovela. There’s the Horner plot line, the Newey plot line, the Marko plot line, the Max/Jos plot line. You’ve got an underperforming veteran being bankrolled by the richest man in Mexico, a fan favorite chasing former glory, whatever Yuki’s got going on, and Liam Lawson pacing the garage for his chance.
