Over the past two decades, the semiconductor industry has successfully pushed the limits to deliver more raw compute. A wild success, really. A 2025 Nvidia B200 GPU has 178,000 times more Floating Point Operations Per Second, or FLOPs than a top-of-the-line Intel CPU in the late 1990s. Unfortunately, we don't fully benefit thanks to limits - or "walls", so to say - that keep us from taking full advantage of all that new raw power. One such wall is the memory wall - where semiconductor memories like DRAM have not scaled as fast as the compute has. I have covered this before. But in recent years, another bottleneck has presented itself: One relating to IO bandwidth. In response, the industry has been working on a silicon photonic solution. In today's video, we talk about a technology trend that has been over a decade in the making: Co-packaged optics.

This week on "We Are More Than: The Podcast"K.L. and Judge C. Jackson talk about OPTICS, a lot of times it's about what it looks like, not necessarily what it is; but then again, it's hard for something to not look like what it is...sometimes. Y'all know what I'm saying. Let's talk about the not so Face/Face of the NBALadies and GentlemenWe Are More Than: Cutting Room Floor

In Episode 377 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul dig into the chaos of conflicting narratives, dissecting how controlled media messaging, federal agencies, and coordinated optics continue to scramble the signal in the public consciousness. They analyze the strange media obsession with the FBI's image, using recent headlines to illustrate how legacy institutions are more concerned with PR than accountability. The duo also unpacks major communication breakdowns within the White House, highlighting odd visual cues, awkward press interactions, and unanswered questions about who's really in charge. With a sharp eye on the timing and sequencing of recent political messaging, Herold and Paul challenge listeners to look past what they're being shown and consider the stories beneath the surface.

In this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak "RedPill78" Paine analyze the crumbling media narratives surrounding Biden, Trump, and the ongoing fallout from legacy scandals. They open with reactions to CBS's awkward attempt to resurface the “Trump nuclear secrets” story and break down how mainstream outlets are being used to run interference as deeper truths emerge. The hosts dig into revelations about Clinton's unexamined thumb drives and the FBI's flimsy claims of executive privilege, as well as renewed calls for accountability in light of the Durham appendix declassification. They also highlight Trump's sharp Truth Social post calling out the two-tiered justice system and weigh in on White House visual inconsistencies, including odd footage of the Rose Garden and South Lawn. With sharp commentary on narrative control, selective media timing, and the collapse of public trust, CannCon and Zak expose the desperation of a regime running out of cover.

In Episode 124 of The SITREP, CannCon and Alpha Warrior dissect the latest headlines with sharp, on-the-ground analysis. They kick off with questions surrounding the alleged Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian nuclear facility, examining media inconsistencies and suspiciously timed narratives. The hosts then break down growing distrust in the FBI, sparked by news coverage focused on the Bureau's declining public image rather than its institutional failures. They also cover Trump's strong stance on tariffs against Mexico and India, and how these economic moves tie into larger strategic goals. With additional discussion around White House optics, Biden's appearance in Delaware, and media misdirection, CannCon and Alpha connect the dots to reveal what's being hidden behind the headlines.

In Episode 376 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright explore the strategic use of optics and timing in a world saturated with disinformation. They unpack a series of recent events, from explosions in Crimea and the Philippines to chatter around secretive burn bags and staged White House events, raising the question: what's real, what's theater, and who benefits? The hosts break down Trump's deliberate messaging, media misfires, and a shift in public perception that suggests the narrative is slipping out of regime control. With a focus on context and comms, they dissect headlines to highlight broader patterns in the information war. This episode offers a grounded yet provocative look at how misdirection and precision are being deployed on all sides.

In this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Alpha Warrior sort through the headlines with a critical lens. They unpack the strange optics surrounding the White House's appearance, including what might be construction activity or stage-like elements, and question why mainstream coverage avoids the topic. The conversation shifts to Ukraine, where skepticism is growing about the narrative surrounding Russia's missile strike on a nuclear facility. CannCon raises doubts about the authenticity and timing of the story, while Alpha connects the dots between perception, public distraction, and deeper agendas. They also touch on Ghislaine Maxwell's reported offer to testify in exchange for clemency, financial system pressures, and the growing undercurrent of discontent in America's institutions. Grounded in current events and media analysis, the episode invites listeners to look beyond the headlines and question the stories they're being told.

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold breaks down a flurry of headlines and digs into the deeper messaging behind them. He questions the optics surrounding Russia's alleged strike on a Ukrainian nuclear plant and examines Jerome Powell's latest comments suggesting a possible rate cut, despite inflation remaining high. Jon explores the implications of this shift and how it might tie into broader economic manipulation. He also touches on Ghislaine Maxwell's proposal to testify before Congress in exchange for clemency and highlights a mainstream media piece accusing the FBI of poor public relations, raising questions about institutional trust and coordinated messaging. Other topics include Saudi Arabia's defense realignment, the Biden admin's climate messaging, and the curious silence around apparent White House renovations. Herold ties it all together with sharp analysis and a call to question the surface-level stories being pushed by legacy media.

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! GOALS   August 9th and 10th in Knoxville, Tennessee. Knoxville Convention Center Free to GOA members https://events.goa.org/goals/   Free exclusive shirt if you attended both GunCon and GOALS AND Send pics with the cast from each event to automated@welikeshooting.com - Dear WLS Sean M - I've got a PTR91 setup as somewhat of a DMR with a Magpul PRS stock and a Swampfox Arrowhead 1-10. I'm thinking of dumping the 2nd focal plane lpvo, what suggestions would you have for a different optic for that concept? Otherwise, what would you guys do for a "modern battle rifle" setup? Optics, furniture, etc? Cheers, Sean M No notes And 171 for life Nick D - I have a Mitchell shorty DOC with the mloc guard. I want to get a Midwest suppressor hand guard and a dead air can for it so I can have more rail space. Would this be a good set up? Any other suggestions? I have a heat wrap on the rail now and it takes up almost the entire rail. Help Alex S - I recently picked up an older Rem700 in 7mm Rem Mag. Been shooting my .308 out to distance (~550yds) but wanted to go further so i picked this up on a deal. I posted on DangFree about my new scope(Strike Eagle 5-25 FFP) and got a lot of great help there. My question for you today is about the barrel. It is the standard thinner profile barrel and heats up quick after my first few rounds. Is it worth swapping the barrel out to a bull? Should i leave this rifle as-is and invest in a new platform? Any other suggestions? Thanks for your abuse in advance! Wls4life Ragequit from Twitch - Hola everybody, looking into some defensive pistol/ar training and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what is worth the time and money. I have seen everything from basic pistol courses where it appears they are indoors at a range to courses that are defensive/competition style classes. And when looking into defensive ar courses it runs the gamut from just getting into ar's to having “professional” training for wet work. What do I look for when trying to decipher the description of classes? I am located near the PA/MD/VA area so for the most part that is not a bad drive for most training if there is a recommendation for classes. What should I look for and what “descriptions “ should I steer away from. I appreciate any help, one of the watchers from twitch Ryan W - I have a registered SBR and recently moved to a new city. (It's an actual SBR with a stock, not a braced pistol, I am not one of those guys.) I read on the ATF website that a change of address form could be submitted after a move, as long as I am not crossing state lines. However, I have also read that the ATF is no longer requiring a change of address form at all, as long as the new address is in the same state. Do you know if this is true? Also, how long do you have after a move to notify the ATF? Thank you for the help...hopefully Mike H - Throwing an update since I already decided on my optic I was asking about earlier, found a great deal on a Sig Sierra3BDX 4.5-14x44 scope and picked up a rangefinder to go with, the scope was only $300 Nick F - odd question but have any of the cast looked into the "no new cemetery " conspiracy? I've found that some cemeteries practice the 50/100 year rule. apparently you don't own your plot forever..... Daniel A - What would you choose to defend yourself FN HP 9mm older model or a DB9 gen4? And is the older FN HP better than the new ones?   The winner of this week's swag pack is Mike H! To win your own, go to welikeshooting.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWhat if solving homelessness meant hiding it?In this episode of A World Gone Mad, I break down a new federal move that looks more like a political stage play than a solution. It's not about housing. It's not about services. It's about erasure — and the incentives behind it are as disturbing as the strategy itself.There's a plan being rolled out with brutal precision, and if you think it sounds like satire, just wait until you hear who's in charge. Compassion is out. Optics are everything. And once again, the most vulnerable are being weaponized for political gain.Later in this episode, I take a hard swerve into the back alley where reason goes to die — with this week's segment of News from the Edge of Sanity.It's a triple-header of unfiltered absurdity, featuring government failure, bad decisions, and one of the weirdest TSA discoveries you'll ever hear. No spoilers — but this segment might top anything I've covered all month.If you think the country's lost control, you're right — but the details are somehow dumber, darker, and more jaw-dropping than you're imagining.So wherever you are — stuck in traffic, walking off stress, or just hiding from the world in a bathroom stall — thanks for hitting play. This one's worth hearing to the end.AFTER you listen to this episode, please call my voicemail box to get the answer.Listen — and you'll understand.

The garden may be dense, but look at the fruit and not just the blooms. It's discernment in the age of distortion. We are saturated with narratives and manipulated images. This is not just a glitch in the system. A lack of public awareness brings tyranny. Those who are not informed are being handled. North Dakota's child trafficking history, and the Governor involved. We are each responsible for what we accept. We must start slow in trusting again. Like everything, discernment starts with courage. It's all about being fooled before but not again. Truth has been rebranded. Real world comparisons are brutal. Most movements are mostly info campaigns. Sidelining real activists is the goal. True fringe or verifiable? It's not about public figures, but each of us. Truth doesn't demand instant belief. They want you not thinking, but outsourcing. Let's all develop discernment and make truth a weapon. It's the great slayer of evil, both now and in the future.

Ryan Holm is the new Director of Marketing for Leica's Sport Optics division. While Ryan is new to the high-performance optics industry, he is no stranger to the hunting market. I first met Ryan when he was in a similar position with the pack company, Mystery Ranch. I still give him major credit for building that brand into the category leader.    Revitalizing an optics company in the hunting, birding and outdoor recreation industries simultaneously is tricky business, they all have their own biases, and he has to be sensitive to all of them.  Ryan and I talk about how 20 years of experience will help him to accomplish just that. It was great catching up with him, but I more excited to see what he can do with a legacy brand like Leica.  

In Episode 374 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright dig deep into the newly released declassified appendix to the DOJ's IG report on the Clinton email investigation, and the implications are seismic. From unexamined thumb drives to evidence that may have been exfiltrated from the Executive Office of the President, the hosts walk through what they call one of the biggest cover-ups in modern American history. They explore how the Clinton investigation and Russiagate were not separate scandals, but two sides of the same coin, engineered to cover each other and to stop Trump. Jon and BB also reflect on Trump's recent Truth Social posts calling out Obama as the ringleader of the Russia hoax, breaking down how Trump's carefully chosen words may signal upcoming moves. They dive into recent judicial happenings, the Maui fire cover-up, bizarre military activity, and the media's silence on major stories. It's an episode packed with red-pilled analysis, sharp speculation, and a sobering look at what the unraveling of the official narrative might truly mean.

Big O talks Miami Dolphins 072325

In this episode, I replay an episode from last year as it falls in line with the completion of the NFHS Rule Book Series In the world of football, penalty enforcement is a critical yet often misunderstood aspect of the game. As Jim Corpora, a seasoned official, explains, the rules surrounding penalties are both complex and nuanced, requiring officials to balance precision with efficiency. This episode delves into the intricacies of penalty enforcement, offering insights from Jim's extensive experience.Understanding Rule 10: Penalty enforcement in football is governed by Rule 10, which has seen significant changes over the years. Jim highlights the importance of efficient penalty administration, noting that delays or miscommunications can create poor optics for coaches and spectators. The 2023 rule changes, for instance, aim to align high school rules more closely with collegiate standards, offering offenses a fairer chance to recover from penalties.Live Ball vs. Dead Ball Fouls: A key distinction in penalty enforcement is between live ball and dead ball fouls. Live ball fouls occur during active play, such as pass interference, while dead ball fouls happen after the play has ended, like a late hit. Understanding this difference is crucial for officials, as it affects how penalties are enforced and can significantly impact the game's flow.The Role of Optics and Communication: Jim emphasizes the role of optics and communication in officiating. A well-delivered announcement by the referee can clarify complex penalty situations for everyone involved, from players to fans. In today's digital age, where every play can be captured and shared online, maintaining professionalism and clarity is more important than ever.Penalty enforcement in football is a blend of art and science, requiring officials to master the rules while maintaining clear communication. As Jim Corpora advises, officials should strive to eliminate avoidable mistakes and present a professional image, ensuring the game is played fairly and smoothly. For those interested in the finer details, diving into Rule 10 and related resources can provide valuable insights into this essential aspect of football.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest in football officiating and more insights from experts like Jim Corpora.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore the latest discoveries in lunar geology, the intriguing concept of dark dwarves, and the stunning features of the Carina Nebula.The Youngest Basaltic Lunar MeteoriteScientists have uncovered a 2.35 billion-year-old lunar meteorite, Northwest Africa 16286, which fills a significant gap in our understanding of the Moon's volcanic history. This meteorite, distinct in its chemical profile, suggests that volcanic activity on the Moon persisted longer than previously thought, unveiling new insights into its internal heat generation processes. Lead author Joshua Snape from the University of Manchester explains how this rare sample enhances our knowledge of lunar geology without the costs associated with space missions.Hypothetical Dark Dwarfs and Dark MatterA new study proposes the existence of hypothetical objects called dark dwarves, which could help unravel the mystery of dark matter—an invisible substance that constitutes approximately 80% of the universe's mass. Researchers suggest that these low-mass objects could interact with dark matter in ways that produce observable effects, providing a potential pathway to understand this elusive component of the cosmos. The study highlights the importance of identifying markers, such as lithium-7, to confirm the existence of dark dwarfs and advance our understanding of dark matter.Adaptive Optics and the Carina NebulaUsing adaptive optics, astronomers have achieved unprecedented clarity in imaging the western wall of the Carina Nebula, revealing intricate structures previously hidden by dust and gas. This breakthrough allows for a deeper investigation into star formation processes in this massive stellar nursery. The enhanced images showcase how massive young stars influence their surroundings and contribute to the cycle of stellar life, offering a glimpse into the conditions that may have shaped our own solar system.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physicshttps://www.journalofcosmology.com/Nature Journalhttps://www.nature.com/natureBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 00:49 04:51 09:17 15:16 17:08

Donald Trump has instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to request the unsealing of federal grand jury documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The move follows mounting public interest and skepticism surrounding the government's handling of the case, particularly after the DOJ declared the Epstein matter closed and reiterated that no “client list” exists. Trump framed the decision as a step toward transparency, stating it would help end speculation and restore public trust. Bondi responded that she is prepared to move quickly to file the appropriate motions in court.While the directive represents a notable shift in approach, the actual impact of releasing grand jury materials remains uncertain. Such records are typically subject to strict legal protections and, even if unsealed, may contain redactions or limited information. The release could shed light on previously undisclosed aspects of the case, but by itself, it may not address broader questions surrounding Epstein's network, co-conspirators, or institutional failures. As a standalone action, it opens the door to further scrutiny but does not guarantee meaningful new revelations unless followed by deeper, sustained investigative efforts.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bondi says she'll try to unseal Epstein grand jury records - ABC News

In this episode of Taking It Back, Zak Paine and Adel Nero go deep on Trump's bold Truth Social post declaring the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” analyzing the former president's messaging and media strategy. They argue that Trump's controversial comments are a tactical move designed to bait mainstream media and provoke mass exposure of a long-suppressed issue, child trafficking and institutional corruption, under the guise of political damage control. The conversation expands into a broader discussion of legacy media collapse, independent journalism's rise, and how Trump supporters must look beyond emotional triggers to understand the long game. They also tackle the role of Maureen Comey in prosecuting high-profile trafficking cases, her sudden firing, and the implications for future investigations. With humor, clarity, and plenty of sharp edge, the hosts call out performative influencers, explain why mainstream polling still favors Trump despite the media circus, and highlight how blackmail networks could be rooted in deep intelligence operations far beyond Epstein himself. This is a no-nonsense takedown of distraction narratives and a passionate defense of trusting the mission.

This includes 49 times under Republican presidents and 29 times under Democratic presidents. Some sources, like USA Today, suggest it has been raised at least 100 times since 1940, but the most commonly cited figure for the modern era (post-1960) is 78. Over the years, the debt ceiling has not been an effective mechanism for stopping waste and fraud in government spending. The debt ceiling is a legislative cap on the total amount of debt the U.S. government can incur, requiring Congressional approval to raise or extend it to allow continued borrowing for existing obligations, such as funding authorized programs, servicing debt, and meeting other financial commitments. Its primary function is to limit the government's borrowing capacity, not to regulate the quality, efficiency, or integrity of spending.Why the Debt Ceiling Doesn't Stop Waste and Fraud:  The debt ceiling addresses the aggregate level of federal debt, not specific budget items or program management. It does not inherently scrutinize or eliminate wasteful or fraudulent expenditures, which occur within the budgeting and execution of individual programs.   Debt ceiling debates often serve as political leverage for broader fiscal or policy negotiations (e.g., spending cuts or tax reforms). While these discussions may occasionally highlight waste or fraud rhetorically, the ceiling itself does not directly target or address such issues. For example, during debt ceiling negotiations in 2011 or 2023, the focus was on overall spending reductions or policy concessions, not specific anti-fraud measures.  Waste and fraud are typically addressed through other processes, such as: Audits by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or Inspectors General (IGs) within federal agencies.
