Did anyone else think this was Cirrus Logic?

I definitely had to look and see if this was the same company, yes.

Edit: TIL “Apple makes up 89% of the company's revenue in 2025”

For a hot second yes, and I even use the modern one's tart cli

Yes, it brought back some video card memories

I _just_ went though the line. It wasn't too bad (5-10min, despite having bio ID), but it was by far the worst I've encountered at SFO in the decade I've been flying out of there.


P.s. And as usual, TSA doesn't understand anything about queueing theory and doesn't implement round robin / starvation prevention. Global services and clear get absolute priority over other queues.


That's a feature, not a bug


Probably because people are going via SFO when they might otherwise go via Oakland or elsewhere.


Agreed. But also why are you speaking like Yoda?


They're not; they're speaking colloquially: this is the word "It's" omitted from the beginning.

*EDIT*: Corrected word. Lol.


That's not what made it sound like Yoda. It was sticking "has been" at the end, and I agree there was a better choice stylistically: "Crazy how effective this admin has been at making everything worse."


Didn’t even strike me as weird phrasing. Or rather: strike me as weird phrasing it did not.


"It's," perhaps?


Yeah, nope, you're right. Not sure why my brain thought "The". Haha. I blame on the roughlu 2½ hours of sleep I got last night. Yay insomnia!


The audience of this website is disproportionately aware of the Therac-25 compared to the general public. For the obvious reason, engineering, but also geographically: The Therac-25 being a North American incident that affected Canada and the US. Whereas Theryc is a French company.


While I do agree with your point, as a Swede not even born when the incidents happen I still knew about it, was brought up in a computer science class.


If I have cancer then whether to trust the radiation machine due to the name is certainly a choice I can make, but you get to own your own priorities in that case.


I only commented on the case, nothing else.


I feel like I have heard about this in a million different management anecdotes in my corporate trainings about management stuff/QA.


> The Therac-25 being a North American incident that affected Canada and the US

CGR who provided the accelerators and basic PDP11-based computing platform were a French company.

> Whereas Theryc is a French company.

I have been a Citroën enthusiast for about 30 years. I love French cars.

I have repaired lots of Valeo electronics modules for vehicles.

I'm not sticking my head in a French fucking particle accelerator.


There are asics for ai. They're called gpus / tpus.


My brain initially parsed the title as an obituary title and I was really sad for a moment.


In my experience, a grad student hour is treated as free :(


You never applied for a grant, have you?


It was ahead of its time!

When I was in grad school I tried getting my hands on a phi, it seemed impossible.


Xeon Phi was so cool. I wanted to use the ones we had so much... but couldn't find any applications that would benefit enough to make it worth the effort. I guess that's why it died lol.


Stock price by itself is meaningless. Instead what you want is market cap (number of shares x share price).
