It doesn't bother me. All I do enjoy the life until it happens no matter what it is.

If it is going to happen and i survive this, I can see what I can do about helping people out and clean up.

Remember: People born, live, die... No one lives forever... Just happen by mother nature, natural causes (health), accidents, which you never know what happens next day.

We all know the Mayans didn't account for leap years so really the world should've ended in like February. :laugh:

But as a play along, I'd probably take some drugs and parrtyyyyy. xD

You do realize, there ARE people who think the world is going to end?...

Heck a co-worder of mine says pope Joseph Ratzinger is the living anti-christ...

But... Go to work, until mass hysteria breaks out then find the best car and drive like hell until I die, seeing as how the end of the world and no one is going to live, no point in going to bomb shelter and/or higher ground.

dont leave out fondling sheep.

True. The last would be obviously some kind of suicide: I was thinking animal related or jumping off something related.

Or better yet something weird and never done! :) Noone will hear about the first time it was done but oh well!

Well I suppose the easiest way to get rid of fear is to drink it away. If sh*t was going to hit the fan, I'd take the Milwaukee Brewing Co. tour and go out in style. For $7, they hand you a pint glass and tell you that you have 2 hours to drink as much as you can. If we're going to die, I'd rather be drunk and laughing. (Y)

The galactic alignment already happened years ago, so there's nothing we have to worry about anyway. It'll be just another day. :cool:

    • Anyone Here With Turbo Pascal Experience?

      By Almohandis · Posted

      Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
