Nopes. I'm strongly suggesting that we already had a frigging word for these things, that's also still valid AF today, and it's "word processor." Not f'n writerdeck or whatever. Dumb.

You're not gettin' the point. There's nothing here if you think about it for 10 seconds. Any ancient anything, could run vi, or vim, or Emacs, or friggin' wordstar, natively or via emulation or WHATEVER. There's nothing here.

"Writerdeck' or simple word processor? They were first sold in the 1960s or 70s. Why? Buy, not build I'm thinking.

Full title, that wouldn't fit into the HN submission box: 'FULL SHOW: After "Late Show" ends, Stephen Colbert hosts Monroe public access show'

Steven Colbert apparently can't take a day off. This is great! If you like him, you'll probably love this video.

Oh good! Training your AI on the human interactions between people at a failed company will lead to success, right? Great!

No. A friend of mine worked at United Record Pressing. The majority of the masters they received from customers were commercial CDs. No special master.

iLearningEngines? I guess we're all familiar with them and have thoughts and concerns about them. We don't. We're not.

Most records these days use CDs as masters, sadly.

"Nvidia." Not NVidia or nVidia, or the other ways. I feel that I can frequently figure out if someone is going to express a negative view about this company based only on whether they picked a weird way to write their name.

FTA: "...which enables Intel to keep three of them for redundancy and get decent yields with an 88-core part."

This must be a typo, right? I don't think Intel is the fab or involved in this CPU at all.

They are talking specifically about ARM cores designed by and licensable from ARM Holdings (the company), not other designs that don't use ARM's designs (like the Apple silicon).
