Well, isn’t this a sight for sore eyes! 😍 Our beloved Hubble appears in this amazing image from one of Vantor's WorldView Legion satellites. It was 36 years ago today that Hubble was launched in the bay of the Space Shuttle Discovery from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Credit: Vantor.

In 1980, Intel released the 8087 floating-point chip, making math much faster. I'm reverse-engineering this chip, 46 years later. Most of its instructions are implemented in microcode, but some are implemented in hardware. Let's look at the circuitry that decodes instructions and decides what to do.

Great chart (via @adamtooze.bsky.social) that speaks to the issue above. China took pain when it rapidly began to deflate its property boom in 2021. But that pain was part of a broader plan, and paired with a positive vision for new industry.

This bit from thediff.co extends out to fiction as well - there isn't really a need for genai fiction because there's already more fiction than there exists appetite for it, and people often read specific works for paratextual reasons as well.

The period of 'Consumers expect computers that talk to have human-like intelligence' and 'Computers with human-like intelligence are really expensive' probably would have been lethal to Alexa had it not been an 'Amazon terminal', but now quality tokens are cheaper, but still squeezes Alexa margins

This bit from Dave Wiens (Siemens) reminds me that there are a lot of jobs that are in v high demand but

WSJ: "The top 10% of earners in the U.S. now account for 49.7% of all spending, a record in data going back to 1989. Three decades ago, they accounted for about 36%."
What is driving their disproportionate spending seems to be surging stock and property markets.
