any CompSci grad I’ve worked with couldn’t write code for shit
Damn, that sounds pretty bad.
We had tons of math and theoretical work too, but we also programmed a fair amount: We had to write a renderer in one class, a compiler in another, various Android apps in a third, and in one elective I took we wrote a micro kernel OS as well.
Density comes into it if we are measuring buoyancy. The weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the buoyant object, and the ratio of volume submerged vs above water should give a way to determine density, but I don’t have the precise method in my head right now.
However assuming all you want is the volume, you simply need to fully submerge the object (by applying enough downward force if its density is too low), and the displaced volume is equal to the objects volume. The displaced water will have to flow to the top of the container, so by measuring the rise in water level and multiplying with the base area of your container you can get it easily.
Just make sure you don’t accidentally also measure your hand if you’re pushing down the sphere.
A0 is a square meter. Its sides are self similar, such that the ratio of long to short edge stays the same when you cut one in the middle, and thus create a new long and short edge.
Each cut produces two sheets of the next Ax number, so A4 is four times halved compared to A0, or a sixteenth of a square meter.
That property of being able to halve is achieved with a ratio of the square root of 2, so unfortunately the measurements in absolute numbers get pretty odd.
That would be the funniest outcome, the entire bubble pops because the idiots in charge still have not figured out how a supply chain works, or what the effects of tariffs are.

I think the original challenge was that you must choose one guard to pose your one question to. Not one question to both guards.
Yeah it sounds weird, right? Microsoft also has in the minimum requirements that it needs 20 GB of storage, which seems incredible to me. Maybe they are expecting companies to strip out more before embedding it in devices.
Anyway, for our purposes it seems Windows 10 IoT Enterprise is missing only very few things. I believe the Microsoft Store, Xbox App and Cortana are not on there. Supposedly you can add them back if you need.
But since I converted an existing Windows 10 Pro install, I even kept those (not that I want them…), and I’m still getting the security updates.
keep using 10
And make sure you convert your install to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. Security updates until January 2032.

I think it was time on October 26, 2018.
Is the bottom one made to look better with AI, is that a feature of the used car market these days?
Same thing. The group of designers who founded the art style in the 80s called themselves Memphis, then the Corporate Art inspired by it in the last ten years or so was called Corporate Memphis. Alegria is the specific name for the art style that Facebook commissioned and used in 2017.
Don’t give them any ideas, someone will combine the two. Machine generated Memphis slop-slop.
It’s the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16 GB. From the Ampere family, 3.5 years old. Small Tegra SoC.
I guess something like this is a typical dual use good, and doesn’t fall under the AI Chip export restriction either because it’s too weak. Seems like it would be trivial for Russians to import them from China or India or whomever really.
Not just Nvidia.
For a start of who the shovel sellers might be, you can take a look at the list in his post that Torsten Slok used to calculate his margin numbers:
Note: Data as of 2Q 2026 and for OpenAI (1Q 2026 estimate from PitchBook) and Anthropic (2Q 2026 estimate from Financial Times). Averages are equal-weighted bucket averages of Energy & Grid (Constellation Energy, Vistra, NextEra Energy, Vertiv, Eaton, Arista Networks), Silicon & Equipment (Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Marvell, TSMC, SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, Micron), Compute & Cloud (Super Micro, Dell Technologies, Foxconn, Equinix, Digital Realty, Amazon/AWS, Microsoft/Azure, Alphabet/Google Cloud, CoreWeave, Nebius) and Models & Applications (OpenAI, Anthropic). Sources: Bloomberg, PitchBook, Apollo Chief Economist
In short according to his research the people currently making a profit or at least positive margins, are the people who build chips and memory, who build energy infrastructure, and who build servers and data canters.
I would like to see the distinction between Servers (Super Micro, Dell Technologies, Foxconn) and Datacenters (Equinix, Digital Realty, Amazon/AWS, Microsoft/Azure, Alphabet/Google Cloud, CoreWeave, Nebius) but he seems to have put them together.
Also I heard from our local news that ABB (which is Swiss, Edit: apparently also Swedish) is profiting too, they belong in the power category.
And I wonder why Arista goes in the Energy category, I’d see them and Cisco, and Juniper, and Extreme, and Nokia in a separate network category.
‘Profits are currently being funded by investors rather than earned from customers’
Which profits?
Ah, now I see the actual quote is: “[…] the AI boom’s profits are currently being funded by investors rather than earned from customers.” he means the profits of the shovel sellers, not AI profits.
By the way, regarding integration, I just learned from a colleague last week that he uses emacs for editing remote files too. You can just open a file as:
/method:user@host:filename, with method being ssh or ftp for example

Wow, thanks, I didn’t know that.
Before he was just mildly annoying and not something I wanted to watch.
Now he’s confirmed as an asshole, who must not be supported, from my perspective.
1280 × 720 was “HD ready”
1920 × 1080 was “Full HD”
I always thought “HD ready” was a bit of a marketing scam.
I hope the supreme court doesn’t backstab them yet again
