"NVIDIA annual net income for 2024 was $29.76B, a 581.32% increase from 2023"

"Largely unproven"

Dave @redskyforge.bsky.social · 23h

Nvidia has been making 70+% gross profit on its AI chips for years.
OpenAI would be net profitable if they stopped R&D.
In what universe is that "largely unproven"?
If the goal posts are set in very specific, contrarian ways - then sure.

Now I'm using Linear heavily I decided I really dislike it.
On the surface it has great UX - it's fast and polished. But with reasonable sized workflows with different milestones and priorities it's all over the place. There are too many different views and sortings, + the side nav is confusing

"largely unproven"? Multiplying matrices together is "largely unproven"?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Speaker Johnson ignored a reporter's question about when he’s going to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Grijalva is the 218th vote to release the Epstein files and won her special election TWO WEEKS AGO. Johnson still refuses to seat her

By asserting plenary power, Miller was implicitly rejecting the idea that courts can enjoin (block) such deployments

It's a direct assertion of federal supremacy, like language used before historical domestic military interventions (e.g., Eisenhower in Little Rock, 1957), but more confrontational.

Stephen Miller on CNN: www.reddit.com/r/law/commen...

"Under Title 10 of the US code, the president has plenary authority"

"Plenary" means "absolute".

Applied to Title 10, he’s implying that the President alone can decide when and where to use U.S. military or federalized Guard forces

From the law community on Reddit: Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said
