@Alex_Intel_ This perspective leaves out the fact that the revenue for TSMC's depreciated fabs generate pure profit, something Intel minimized by rushing to the next nodes. It blinded the company from the extremely obvious strength of the foundry model.

Back in 2011, TSMC was not on track to generate enough revenue to support future generations of process nodes. Things can change more rapidly than you think when someone slips or finds a technological edge over another foundry player.

@SaveStandard @DaleNally_AB I can't believe a place this far north would get the coin toss incorrect...I really fear for our species 🤦‍♂️

Voters said no to permanent DST. Morning sunlight is essential to natural health and safety. End Daylight Saving Time, restore permanent Mountain Standard Time! @DaleNally_AB

@AlexAndBooks_ But my book queue is so deep! 😂

“It is a good rule, after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between. If that is too much for you, you should at least read one old one to every three new ones.” –C.S. Lewis

@DKThomp "The Bear" has some of this energy...the fine art of microgreens.

The Pitt as “competence porn” is so dead-on.

@EFF You cite views but you're still posting to Bluesky and Mastodon? What's the real reason? Like it or not, the tech conversation is on X.

When you go online, your rights should go with you. X is no longer where the fight is happening. EFF takes on big fights, and we win by putting our time, skills, and members’ support where they will have the most impact. Right now, that means Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and eff.org. We hope you follow us there and keep supporting the work we do. eff.org/deeplinks/2026… (5/5)

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵(1/5)

@DKThomp With streaming we now have a view into what people actually listen to. Before, we only had radio (pushed) and sales, not what's being played. I don't find this trend surprising at all (especially coupled with the fact that I don't think anyone has figured out recommendations).

“Only three of the top ten songs in 2025 were released in 2025! It's brutal out there for new artists.”

@AlexAndBooks_ Here with my very meta admonition that people who gather data need to read "The End of Average." Averages hide so much information...I want to see the real distribution.

Here are the most recent stats on reading: • The average adult reads 14.6 books per year • Women on average read 20 books a year • Men on average read 13 books a year • 48% of adults read 6+ books in 2025 Overall, it looks like reading is on the rise.

@michaelmiraflor This is where all the volume is in laptops. Having returned to a Windows work machine for the first time in years, I think the Neo is going to slay.

Who is this laptop for? Trying to wrap my head around the segment. For students? For people who want a second laptop? For people who wished the iPad had a keyboard? For white collar email warriors who travel a lot? It’s convenient but very under powered.

I'm using a Windows laptop for the first time in almost 10 years and reading this headline I wondered: does my machine have a touchscreen? Turns out it does. 😂 Do people actually use these? Pointless.

@DavidEpstein I love this kind of treatment, nicely done! Too many book lists are...just lists.

I read a lot (and yeah I count audiobooks). I made a video summarizing 34 books I love in about a minute each. Link below...

@AlexAndBooks_ averages are useless (The End of Average is a highly underrated book btw 😉)...I'd like to see the distribution

This is crazy: The average adult read 8 books in 2025. But the median adult read just 2 books in 2025!

@BStulberg #4 and #5 are huge...I can't believe how strong the Tiger Woods myth is, people spending at least half the year's weekends hauling their 13-year-old soccer "phenom" around the planet, just waiting for them to burn out at any moment.

Norway consistently wins the most medals at the Winter Olympic Games, with a population of just 5.6 million people. A big part of their success is how they treat youth sports—and it’s the opposite of what we do in the US. Here’s what we can learn from Norway: 1. Scorekeeping: In the US: Youth sports tend to be hyper competitive even at early ages. Leagues almost always keep score. In Norway: Scorekeeping isn’t even allowed until age 13. Removing winners and losers keeps the focus on the process not outcomes. It keeps kids engaged longer because it minimizes pressure (and tears) and maximizes fun, learning, and growth. The goal isn’t to win a third grade championship. It’s to love sport and keep playing. 2. Trophies: In the US: If you give everyone a trophy, you’re creating snowflakes who will never gain a competitive edge. In Norway: Whenever trophies are awarded, they are handed out to everyone. If getting a trophy makes young kids feel good, we should give them trophies. Maybe they’ll come back and play again next year!! As for the creation of snowflakes with no competitive edge—Norway’s athletes are tough as nails and all they do is win. 3. Prioritizing Fun: In the US: Far too often, the goal is to win. In Norway: The national philosophy is “joy of sport.” Youth sports in the US are driven by adults, ego, and money. Youth sports in Norway are driven by fun. Only half of kids in the US participate in sports. The number one reason they drop out: because they aren’t having fun anymore. In Norway, 93% of kids participate in youth sports. Fun is the foremost goal. 4. Playing Multiple Sports: In the US: There’s pressure to specialize early and play your best sport year round. In Norway: Try as many sports as you can before specializing as late as college. Norway encourages kids to try all types of sport. This reduces injury and burnout and increases all-around athleticism. It also helps promotes match quality, or finding the sport you are best suited for as your body develops, which is impossible if you commit to a single sport too early. 5. Affordability In the US: There is increasingly a pay-to-play model with high fees for leagues, equipment, and travel. This excludes many kids from playing. In Norway: It’s a national priority to keep youth sports affordable and therefore accessible for all. Kids aren’t priced out, which creates opportunities for everyone to participate (and develop into athletes), regardless of their parents’ income level. We could learn a lot from Norway: In the US, 70% of kids drop out of youth sports by age 13. This not only diminishes an elite-athlete pipeline, but it also destroys an opportunity for healthy habits and all the character lessons kids can learn from sport. In Norway, lifelong participation in sport is the norm. The goal isn’t to have the best 9U team. It’s to develop the best athletes. Those are two very different things. And Norway has the gold medals to prove it.

@benthompson That's fascinating, but makes sense. I had a dim view of delivery even as a kid after we suffered a couple long-delayed and/or incorrect orders...we always did takeout (and I still drive around the corner to our local Dominoes now, heh).

Can confirm. Best job ever.

@texasrunnerDFW This is the way.

I may be in a minority here, but I absolutely love when Daylight Savings Time ends I enjoy waking up to light mornings The earlier dark evenings are cozy and delightful to an introverted soul. Sit by the fire, read a book, or just go to bed early—all my favorite things!

@BenBajarin yep, that's PowerVia...nobody else (yet) sandwiches xtors in the middle spectrum.ieee.org/backside-power…

I'm sure it's wishful thinking, but I hope it isn't, that Jensen is showing a picture of an Intel transistor in this slide.

Great thesis, bold mission, and probably the most fun you can have with a particle accelerator 🤔

@GergelyOrosz The primary source of this, in my experience, is too many folks don't understand tech well enough to assess those super interesting stories (worse, they're too afraid to ask and probe). Combine that with rewards for "protecting the brand" == boring.

PR stands for "public relations." It's a team inside a company that attempts to control the public image of a company. Amusingly, at several tech companies, PR teams have become "the no publicity" teams. They end up blocking devs sharing what would be super interesting stuff

@arungupta @jetbrains Super cool, congrats!
