you don’t go to the beauty parlor for information — not even game scores. it’s about wow and while away the hours.
a two axis cockfight.. not this but that.. whatever you say, or hold, i counter, or knock . it’s all about aesthetics; it’s all about science .. it’s all ; about the science ;no it’s all about that science .. it’s this aesthetic world no it’s that aesthetic one .. it’s all about contrast ; no it’s all about grain ..
A beginning is a very delicate time…. when to plant.. to transplant
you can’t show it on the web . things can’t be talked about, as we talk about things, on the web .. We diminish ourselves by remaining around those with such on explored opinions. they never deepen; they never widen. they fester like an unhealable wound. you won’t limp if you trim your nails, correctly. it’s the gangrene that will kill you .
after, maybe before “crankyvBulks” –Long term vBulls tend to hate Youtubers and reddits .. hobbiests frown on the new. there’s never enough room on the shrinking ice pack for extra mouths

Eastman Kodak .. makes emulsions.. has marketing rights. has sold rights.
Kodak Alaris .. has marketing rights .. distributes some brands, but is keyed toward software, imaging systems for offices.

Who makes, sells, or is otherwise involved in what was once the Kodak films from my lab days no longer matters to my work. I don’t buy “Kodak” anything… for similar reasons that I don’t buy based upon shipping & handling — from Amazon/B&H/ und zo vitah.. They drop their cloak — I don’t intend to pay for my yoke.
people associate themselves with something they think will impress you ; they think is valuable . they do this as they reach for examples.. this, is like that.. frequently, amongst amateur photographers, it seems to be food.. fast food versus slow food. prepared by others– prepared by you.. with you being gourmet ,custom ,elite.. tellingly , most amateur photographers that don’t hold up to the best of that word amateur have diminished vision of cooking as well. Their examples include such things as retrieving fine steaks from their freezer.. however, Kobe beef is never frozen, is never ground. you lose the flavor of the Kobe cooking.. sushi grade fish is not frozen.. never.
rubbing elbows, walking by a bank ,does not make you richer. living near a university does not make you more educated .. building a better play at liars dice doesn’t make you more honest.. it will fool the news hungry ,the novice , naïve, budding Ansel acolyte..–
The amateur exaggerates more than the professional .. The amateur is always in awe of task or performer. Since frequently they overestimate the task, the difficulty of the task , they overestimate the person who has achieved a task.. they think more equipment is needed than ever was.. thinking dye transfer — my sink is bigger than your sink type of process. But not to dye printers. To amateur non-printers it was a task too far. So far, they spent years buying instead of trying. And then it was gone.
… AND, professionals that appear on amateur, aka, enthusiast forums are usually selling; either workshops, learning materials, something … it seems they give away, and some things they do ,but they never give away what they intend to sell…
I’ve often been wary of the professionals asking advice of the amateur forums..why ask someone who buys film by the box about a capital expense? why ask a group stalled at agitation and storage practces about complexity of re-exposure reactions? why stunt your personal imaging with the ‘refusal’ glasses — don’t look at Man Ray.. do you think you will arrive at some other place .. whoops, you didn’t.. your enforced astigamism blinded you to more than three alternate routes you could have considered in your slow-mo decade on the hobby spots.

LAYOFFS WITHIN TECH COs: CEO statements… the frontier sees the chages first.. they created them.

Intel: 33,900 layoffs. The company has cited the need to reduce costs and restructure its organization after years of technical and financial setbacks.
Microsoft: 19,215 layoffs. The tech giant has conducted multiple rounds of cuts throughout the year across various departments as it prioritizes AI investments.
TCS: 12,000 layoffs. As a major IT firm, Tata Consultancy Services’ cuts largely affected mid-level and senior positions, which are becoming redundant due to AI and evolving client demands.
Accenture: 11,000 layoffs. The consulting company reduced its headcount as it shifts toward greater automation and AI-driven services.
Panasonic: 10,000 layoffs. The Japanese manufacturer announced these job cuts as part of a strategy to improve efficiency and focus on core business areas.
IBM: ~17,000 to 19,700 layoffs as part of a restructuring effort to shift some roles to India and align the workforce with areas like AI and hybrid cloud. The layoffs were reportedly concentrated in certain teams, including the Cloud Classic division, and impacted locations such as Raleigh, New York, Dallas, and California.
Amazon: 14,000 layoffs in October 2025. Cuts have impacted various areas, including the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud unit and the consumer retail business.

STMicro: 5,000 cuts in the next three years, including 2,800 job cuts announced earlier this year, its chief executive said on Wednesday. Around 2,000 employees will leave the Franco-Italian chipmaker due to attrition, bringing the total count with voluntary departures to 5,000, Jean-Marc Chery said at a June 4th event in Paris, hosted by BNP Paribas.
Meta: 3,720 layoffs. The company has made multiple rounds of cuts targeting “low-performers” and positions within its AI and virtual reality divisions.

“Never in the history of data center policies has a policy expired without another one having been painstakingly worked on for three years behind the scenes,” a General Services Administration (GSA) employee told Wired. “The technology has changed so much it’s not about getting everything right, it’s about doing the best they can and updating to a new policy.”—

tech-savvy becomes tech-sovereign
** A note on what we include: a company appears in the tracker only when the company itself (through a CEO memo, SEC filing, earnings call, official statement, or shareholder letter) has tied workforce reductions to AI, automation, or the “AI era.
…. The defining feature of this wave of layoffs is that weak performance is not always the trigger. Meta reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $56.3 billion, up 33% year over year, with net income of $26.8 billion.
That profit figure, however, includes a one-time tax benefit of $8.03 billion tied to revised US Treasury guidance on the tax treatment of research and development spending; excluding it, net income was roughly $18.7 billion (per Variety and Meta’s SEC Form 10-Q).
The moves at major companies break down as follows.
Meta notified about 8,000 employees, roughly 10% of its global workforce, of cuts on May 20. It also canceled plans to hire 6,000 people and reportedly shifted 7,000 staff into AI-related workflow roles.
Amazon announced about 16,000 corporate job cuts in January, bringing reported reductions since October 2025 to around 30,000.
Oracle reportedly carried out cuts of up to 30,000 roles in late March. Oracle has not publicly confirmed a headcount, and reporting and staffing-industry analyses put the figure at an estimated 20,000 to 30,000, with the burden of AI data-center investment cited as a factor.
Cisco announced fewer than 4,000 cuts on May 13, under 5% of its workforce, describing the move as a reorganization to shift investment toward silicon, optics, security, and the company’s own use of AI.
Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta plan to spend a combined total of more than $700 billion on capital expenditure in 2026, most of it directed at AI computing, data centers, and networking, according to reports.

According to the 2026 AI Index Report from the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (Stanford HAI), employment for software developers aged 22 to 25 has fallen by roughly 20% since 2024, while employment for older developers has grown. Sources
