   Intel fabs plenty of stuff at the 22 nm node, including chipsets for their CPUs[1], RF and other analog uses[2], novel RAM technologies, and their Lakefield/Foreveros thing. Given Intel's expanding product portfolio, there's

   I don't understand this ridiculous conspiracy. What competent government would force one company to backdoor their products but forget about their other competitors, all of which are domestic?

   Tiger Lake does not have memory tagging. That capability was announced at Architecture Day by Martin Dixon to land in some unspecified future processor. Tiger Lake has Control-flow Enforcement Technology, which allows the compiler to tag p

    I agree with you on the harms that you have identified (overwhelming bullshit). I think it’s worth thinking about this problem by comparing and contrasting social media to traditional public spaces (like a soapbox in a town square). By com

    If the article compared the state’s contribution to its budget that would make the point relevant. Instead the article is about the city and I claim it is raising irrelevant points of evidence.
