AFAIK, the majority of genocides are in the form of ethnic cleansing and not from colonization or conquest.

Can you please provide an example of a single unregulated market? Free markets do not exist. Capitalism does not exist. Socialism does not exist. Communism does not exist. Humans seem to be completely incapable of implementing any such syst

Well, corporate warfare is just warfare since the megacorporations have essentially purchased the governments of the Earth. Much of government regulation and market intervention is a result of regulatory capture, and voting effectively achi

You can get rid of a lot of unexpected behavior just by using Slackware. I like the BSDs, but I also like having broader hardware and software compatibility.

This would be an absolutely horrifying way to go. I hope that whatever his beliefs he finds peace, of if he were an atheist, I hope that memories of him live on in those who knew him.

Many people talk about libraries being irrelevant in the modern world, and I disagree. My local library has all kinds of activities going on, computers, devices rentals/loans, ebooks, free Wi-Fi, and all kinds of other stuff. It also s

Many libraries have added public access computers with internet connectivity. I imagine that when/if cost effective machines capable of running LLMs become available, we will see some libraries add them.

China already has access to stuff more performant and efficient than rISC-V currently is… via both AMD and ARM. Why would this help at all?

Well, considering you’d have most of the needed utilities already connected and present, a large population of well educated people, and extremely high bandwidth connections in close proximity, it’s probably only slightly higher than elsewh

I’ve worked a few places where the company did regular disaster recovery testing to ensure stuff worked how it was intended to. Most of the time, it worked. Every once in a while, it failed.

Not my experience but a guy I worked with and respected. He retired and I haven’t heard from him, but from what he told me, one’s experience with punch card systems varied greatly due to the size of the shop. In larger shops: The programmer

For some reason, I initially read the title as “…Guide to PBJ” and I got really excited about a potential guide to better indulgent sandwiches… but nope.

One could argue that mortgages given out sub 2.5% became a problem when the fed funds rate went to 2.5% by mid-June. Additionally, a US deregulation wouldn’t explain house bubbles elsewhere at the same time. The truth is that when interest

You assume that the point of regulation is the stated one. I do not think this is a valid assumption. Regulatory capture has occurred consistently throughout US history as has bribery, collusion, and monopoly building (with explicit governm

In the USA, all of the large banks are part of the Federal Reserve System and the FFIC insures all accounts up to a certain amount. I would say this nullifies their claim to refuse the public as a largely publicly funded institution… the go

Every Western Digital HD, the Titan M2 in Pixel 6 and 7, newly manufactured Seagate HDs, and more… I’d say that counts as popular. Is it as popular as ARM? Technically, nothing comes remotely close to ARM in chips shipped. If that’s your me

It’s a microcontroller that can also function as a real-time CPU. RISC-V is already quite popular in that market.

Binaries from just a few releases ago may not run on macOS due to OS changes, but Apple isn’t alone in this. With a Linux system, your distro may change so rapidly that something from 6 months ago may not run. In both cases, an adept user m

The one about pop is funny. I am quite fond of Pepsi Zero Sugar, and it’s the only one I don’t personally see ads for. Weird. Never thought of it until you mentioned it. I seriously see ads for Starry and Coke constantly.

Well, if you consider the entire package rather than CPU alone, I can see it. Still a misleading claim, but if stretch the definitions of “advanced” and “chip” you can do it.

From what I’ve heard from folks connected with Apple, M3 was designed some time ago and TSMC delays on 3NM are why M2 happened at all. So, Apple is releasing M3 later than they’d have liked, and I expect we will see the M4 refresh faster th

I had the exact same thought. However, we’re it intentional, I’d also assume more climate sites would be affected. Still, the thought that MS could be on the payroll of an oil company? Seems banal to me.

I was able to find some reference to an Irish dev team that made the ports, but the 6502 port was scrapped in favor of CP/M-86. Brain dead move imo. I updated the article. Thank you for your corrections to the record :-) Edit: Actually
