Probably no software was ever written specifically for the Pentium 3 (so that it would break on a Pentium 4, or different Pentium 3), so there isn't much reason to emulate it too accurately. What you are asking is FPGA territory anyway

Yuzu uses Unicorn, which uses QEMU code for functional, but not cycle accurate CPU emulation. Most software these days don't depend on the exact behavior of the hardware, even on Nintendo Switch, and the emulator can also use applicati

As if video games, or art itself was ever apolitical. The only thing that changed is that women and minorities started carving out a piece for themselves within an industry. It became a problem for some people on the right, and their answer

There are fossil-fuel steel initiatives like Hybrit. If coal would be more expensive we would see more of these. Bitcoin's value is through the roof due to the religious fervor of holders, greedy investors shooting for the moon, and ma

We are studying the climate for half a century and we have information about it that goes back to millions of years. We can't wait hundreds of years to draw a conclusion, because the climate is changing so rapidly. We have to prepare n

The arkenfox user.js is not default in Firefox because there are tradeoffs between security, privacy and usability. The Tor Browser is a Firefox that sacrifices some usability. The same goes for most other software. It would be desirable fo

Bitcoin has an infinitely increasing energy demand. Surplus would not be enough to sustain it. There are better uses for clean energy, like making steel, hydrogen or ammonia. Bitcoin offers little back to society. A few people make a boatlo

The share of renewables is only around 30% and some of that is hydro and bioenergy, which are not that great. However there is also a growth incentive. If the energy is cheaper you can mine more. Not to mention that the more renewable capac

I actually use arkenfox and uBlock Origin at medium mode. I meant that normal people would find this setup inconvenient. In any case there are tradeoffs involved, and the benefits are not always obvious. It depends on your threat model. I w

The basis of blockchains is that you don't need to trust. You run the algorithm, you run it faster than everyone else and you got a coin to spend. It's all publicly, cryptographically verifiable. As long as everyone agrees on whic

Electricity works for blockchain technologies because you can't spoof the result of the algorithm, you have to do the work, which consumes a lot of energy. You can do the work more efficiently, but that has a limit, or you can switch t

Firefox's default settings are optimized for usability and not breaking websites. For privacy and security some of that must be sacrificed. The Tor Browser, LibreWolf and arkenfox user.js all make Firefox less usable, or not usable at

The arkenfox user.js can also do this for Firefox. https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js Contrary to what LibreWolf claims you do have to sacrifice usability though, including WebGL, DRM, Firefox Sync, autofill, history,

I have to say I never used an antivirus software before except I guess the built-in one in Windows. I think sandboxes are better for software you don't trust. I imagine antivirus heuristics are only useful against a handful of common t

So what's the alternative? I can not trust global institutions all I want and rely on alternatives for everything, but would I be able to trust the alternatives, and what would stop powerful institutions from butting in all the same? W

As far as I know there is no peer-reviewed research, or research done by virologists or epidemiologists that supports the lab leak theory. It's being pushed on social media by an internet activist group called DRASTIC. They are laying

Mearsheimer thinks that the United States would have benefited from allying themselves with Russia and the post-Soviet states (under Russian influence) against China. I think that it's still Russia's fault for using a stick and no

Bill Gates is known for his many clumsy and unwanted advances on subordinates, he may have needed Epstein to help him out. That's quite pathetic.

I fear their incompetence almost more than their malevolence. This is dangerous, but they cannot be stopped. This situation will just keep escalating unfortunately.

Maybe not a hell of a grasp then, just more grasp than I have. It's easy to get lost in fighting the language when creating a safe interface on top of unsafe with very fine-grained control over memory.

The State Duma will meet on March 4 over criminalizing "unofficial" information about the invasion. I find Wikipedia to be more impartial, or less biased than most, if not all media. It doesn't exactly paint the same moral bo

I find it hard to reason about Rust safe and unsafe interactions, especially when concurrency is involved. It's just not as straightforward to implement algorithms and take their correctness proof as granted. Linked and skip lists are

It's a great project, but there is nothing in it for grifters. There is not much hype or fervor for innovation these days that doesn't involve potential bagholders.

The radiation thing is not true. Kofman claims that Russia is yet to treat this war as a conventional one. What we have seen so far is not representative of their capabilities. There is military failure, but it's also a question of how
