Actually, for a really deep dive, with lots of pictures and engineering details, I'd recommend the 43 page (!) PDF "IM-2 Mission Press Kit". I could probably avoid half a day's work, reading it:

"Nine countries currently have nuclear weapons, but perhaps 40 additional states are technically advanced enough to build nuclear weapons if they chose to do so." Trump's "every man for himself" foreign policy will likely drive nuclear proliferation:

Russian state media commentators express enthusiasm for president Trump's dismantling of US government, because it will lead to the "destruction of the current American system". Trump is doing their work for them, and they love it!

One happy note: So far the $TRUMP meme coin price continues to drop. He's never had a gift for building value, but he is pretty good at destroying things and sowing chaos.

Intel's Gelsinger was OK, board is not: "The [board's dumb] decision to fire Pat Gelsinger, put in charge a CFO + career sales and marketing leader, and cut spending on fabs in favor of a renewed focus on x86 is an example of the incompetence that will end Intel."

Prompt "engineering" is merely providing a vague probabilistic context to a linguistic lotto machine that nobody really understands. Far cry from giving specific and precise instructions to a flawless computation engine we call a computer. Funny how we went back to voodoo.
