While recycling is last in that mantra, it is overemphasized more than the other two. It shifts the onus of stewarding our environment to the individual rather than the corporations and militaries, which wreck our planet more than any individual can. They'd rather you not look at what they're doing to the environment, and instead look at the individual.

Moreover, companies don't want you to reduce your consumption, they want you to keep buying their products. Reuse? Nah, here are products that are obsolete, buy the new model.

Why do you want to learn Arabic? Answering this question will point you to which dialect to learn..

Do you want to read Arabic? Learn Modern Standard. Do you want to watch television and movies? Learn Egyptian. Do you want to study Islam and the Quran? Learn Quranic. Do you have a particular interest in a region and speaking with the people of that region? Learn the dialect that is predominately spoken there.

lol, even understanding git is hard for them. Increasingly, software engineers don't want to learn their craft.

As the LLM, generative AI, etc. bubble begins to deflate due to investors and companies finding it hard to make profits from those AI usecases, Nvidia needs to pivot. This article indicates that Nvidia is hedging on robotics as the next driving force that will continue to sustain the massive interest in their products. Personally, I don't see how robotics can maintain that same driving force for their products, and investors will find it hard to squeeze profit out of it, and they'll be back to searching for another hype. It's like Nvidia is trying to create a market to justify their products and continued development, similar to what Meta has tried, to spectacular failure, with the Metaverse for their virtual products.

After the frenzy that sustained these compute products transitioned from big data, to crypto, and now, to AI, I'm curious what the next jump will be; I don't think the "physical AI" space of robotics can sustain Nvidia in the way that they're hoping.

> This secrecy was maintained long after the end of the war. “Efforts were made to give the message that the uranium came from Canada, as a way of deflecting attention away from the Congo..."

> Under Belgian rule, Congolese workers toiled day and night in the open pit, sending hundreds of tonnes of uranium ore to the US every month.

I'm always amazed by this image of how they accomplished the rendezvous with the ascent stage. Note the poor condition of the aft panels:

Absolutely no excuse why we haven't done it since then when they did it with that, and our technology is so much better now.
