Oh wow, I think I finished the jacket. Attached the bodice lining to the sleeve lining and... That was it, I think. There's nothing left but pressing the ever living heck out of it and maybe documenting it somehow, but... Jacket done? 
Quickly slapped on wig, lipstick, scarf and hat to document it this much at least! It's way too warm in my living room for this. 😆 I may have done multiple more little dances in addition to this one here!

“We eventually learned that about 30 people, including Jasmine, were removed from their cells at 3 a.m. and transferred to the San Luis Detention Center in Arizona.

Is RISC-V the future of compute? Alibaba thinks so as it launches a new server-grade chip that will compete with Xeon and EPYC CPUs
Alibaba doubles down on RISC-V architecture with a new secretive 'server-grade' chip that will put AMD and Intel on alert
Alibaba plans an 'aggressive investment' in AI and cloud infrastructureWayne Williams (TechRadar pro)
Alibaba's research arm, DAMO Academy, has launched its first server-grade #RISCV processor, the C930, designed for high-performance computing and aimed at rivaling Intel and AMD's offerings.
The open-source design of RISC-V makes it an attractive choice for Chinese firms like Alibaba, Huawei, and Tencent, who are reducing their reliance on foreign suppliers due to increasing US trade restrictions. The C930 is expected to begin shipping to clients later in March 2025.
