"Race" is a de-facto cultural category, at least in the U.S. It's not merely a description of someone's outward appearance; the reason people even care about the construct in the first place is its social aspects, whi

Since I originally mentioned UBI in my reply, I'm going to clarify. Many people oppose UBI in the sense of not expecting UBI as the one solution to every social issue. From that POV, I also oppose UBI. In fact, I think everyone shou

They do. But they focus on the earliest stages of drug development, mostly involving proofs of concept. That doesn't solve the problem of actually getting the drug approved so that it can be used by patients - which is where the costs

Windows doesn't even have a standard driver-ABI anyway - if it did, we wouldn't have hardware losing driver support when switching the system to a different Windows version (XP/Vista/7/8+/10).

Very nice work. This could be used to efficiently re-implement 8-bit- and 16-bit-era sound systems, which are mostly emulated on the CPU at present. I wonder if the same techniques can also be used to enable DSP-like workloads of a more ge
