Old pulp mill chipper motor. The blade wheel is visible behind. Operator's on/off handles are hanging on left.
the headquarters of IAC, seen while walking to Chelsea Piers a few weekends ago. the first time i ever saw this building was the night i moved out of Manhattan. and i nearly crashed the u-haul. of course it would be a Gehry building. with a tiny sliver of 100 11th Ave reflected on the left edge.
How big is your Mums tits? Irn Bru off the tap........... Shake............

This voluminous jewelry was found in the grave of a powerful women, consisting of 40 individual parts. The two spheres at the ring terminals are help in the paws of lions. The two small winged horses are reminiscent of Pegasus from Greek mythology and bear witness to increased contact with the Mediterranean world.

This is Torque Steinlager. Fearless Laird and Baron of Garheim. He is Laird of Castle Steinlager and Baron of the village of Alle and the town of Bern. His business is import (wood and finished goods) and export (coal, fish, etc) along with military support to the Jarl as needed. Natural enemies are the mountain trolls, he is neutral with the snow elves and friends with the Lenfeld to the South. As long as they don't cross him in a deal.
An evening shot after a busy day. My torque wrench was in use at the weekend, as I tinkered with the Subaru. I've decided that the misfire is due it running lean - all the spark plugs were more white than "biscuit" coloured. Reason unknown, but possibly something failing in the fuel system (pump/filter/pressure regulator)

The torque was found in a grave beside which stood the statue of the warrior.
Figural and ornamental elements are suspended from the right, which also shows ten masks. The particularly striking feature is the three conical studs similar to those worn by the statue. They might all depict the same deceased.

Flipped and destroyed 1962 Ford Fairlane, abandoned under Lenticular clouds at Dunmovin, a wide spot on on California's remote Highway 395.

The meanest thing you could buy in 1999, the Dodge Viper GTS, for sure had alot of power, torque, and mean mean looks :)
Car show "Torque Fest" at the Pima Air & Space museum, it was a unique location which allowed aircraft and automobiles to be shown at the same time. Here is some shots of the cars and planes.....
A small part of an old, rusted train, where a rod has been snapped by time and torque. Based on how the rod works, I suspect it snapped from rotational movement of the rod around it's axis.
I like the texture of the metal, and the rusted paint in the background. Even metal eventually decays and breaks.
A cast bronze beaded torc, collar or necklet, found in an inhumation burial on Lambay Island (see 'Silumnus? Ins.' on Pleiades) just off the east coast of Ireland near Dublin.

16 years in the making, Everspin just unveiled the first spin-torque MRAM, a contender for a new generation of memory chip technology.
Our original investment thesis for novel memory technologies (like Coatue/AMD, Nantero and Everspin) was a sense that Moore’s Law would begin to bifurcate, where technical advances in memory precede logic by several years. In the next few years, radical advances in memory density and performance will be needed to relieve the performance bottleneck in corporate computing.
These new technologies are non-volatile rad-hard memories that should be faster, smaller, cooler, cheaper and more reliable than the SRAM and DRAM kludge.
Background: Memory advances are becoming increasingly important to further advances in computing and computation. The mention of Moore’s Law conjures up images of speedy Intel microprocessors. Logic chips used to be mostly made of logic gates, but today’s microprocessors, network processors, FPGAs, DSPs and other “systems on a chip” are mostly memory. But they are still built in fabs that were optimized for logic, not memory.
The IC market can be broadly segmented into memory and logic chips. The ITRS estimates that 90% of all logic chip area is actually memory. Coupled with the standalone memory business, we are entering an era for complex chips where almost all transistors manufactured are memory, not logic.
Back in 2005 I was truck by the details of Intel’s Montecito processor. They had to add more error-correction-code memory bits (now over 2 bits per byte) to deal with the growing problem of soft errors (alpha particles from radioactive decay and cosmic rays from space flipping a bit as the transistors get very small). According to Intel, of the 1.72 billion transistors on the chip, 1.66 billion are memory and 0.06 billion are logic.
Why the trend to memory-saturated designs? Intel’s primary design enhancement from the prior Itanium processor was to “relieve the memory bottleneck.” For enterprise workloads, Itanium executes 15% of the time and stalls 85% of the time waiting for main memory. When the processor lacks the needed data in the on-chip cache, it has to take a long time penalty to access the off-chip DRAM. Power and cost are also improved to the extent that more can be integrated on chip.
Who should care about this? A large and growing set of industries depends on continued exponential cost declines in computational power and storage density. Moore’s Law drives electronics, communications and computers and has become a primary driver in drug discovery and bioinformatics, medical imaging and diagnostics. Over time, the lab sciences become information sciences, and then the speed of iterative simulations accelerates the pace of progress.
Intel is right: "Compute must evolve"

P.S. we have a conference room at work dedicated to MRAM 1.0, aka core memory.
