Also the x86 was also the most riscy-ish of its cohort (ld/st architecture, single simple addressing mode etc) whether that was uncanny design looking forward decades, a result of Intel's internal architectural history, pure luck

I think that one thing you can do is to release the RTL AND a matching gate level model, AND a description of the scan chain through all the flops (so a end user can verify the gate model from outside in the actual chip). Mind you one could

Pretty sure Algol (and not Forth) lived on all the Burroughs large systems stack machines (B6700 and friends) - they're still with us as the Unisys A series

I'd agree - I think the classification of Pascal as an Algol60 derivative is a bit off - Wirth was on the committee that wrote Algol68 - my impression is that Pascal is essentially all the easier bits of Algol68

if the minority parties work together with the opposition to form a majority representing a majority of the public surely that's a great example of real democracy in action, it may be a 'peril' to the governing party .... but

I think you need to think of the RV32 as what they were designed for as I/O processors, one in particular is for networking

And they'd never have been able to do that without winning the water wars with the Central Valley ..... instead you get almond milk

Yeah I think he's lost it - all that money seems to really have gone to his head. Really he should be doing one thing well (pick cars or rockets) and enjoying life - spending hours a day personally banning people he doesn't like o

No they weren't they were tweeting the new location of the @elronjet account - all this has been through the courts a bunch of times now: posting a link is not the same as posting the content it points to

latest linux chrome Version 108.0.5359.124 (Official Build) (64-bit) on ubuntu latest LTS, directly from google (not in a snap). Starts up but central window just has a rotating loading icon that never goes away

well this is rather the perfect test case - is Elon willing to allow the freedom of speech for someone who is doing something that is pretty trivial but to him personally annoying at a pretty low level? The answer seems to be "No, Elon

I think that the spec is essentially weasel words keeping the implementer's options open for the future - it's a difficult area where you really don't want to have to throw unreasonable numbers of gates at the problem, and be

The difference here though is that the ARM1 uses a PLA to directly decode an ARM instructions into a small number of clocks worth of things to do (enables to ALU stages/etc), while the x86 decodes an instruction into the address of a b

In New Zealand it does - The Harmful Digital Communications act provides a safe harbour provided someone like Facebook participates in helping deal with abusive content, and takes it down where appropriate Again, as I said above, countries

Western censorship laws tend to be really old, New Zealand's had such a law since 1857 (around about when we first started passing laws, before that the UK's probably applied) - and are largely aimed at obscenity (not political di

No, he's talking about the ability to install an IP block for packets coming into NZ, not in other countries - in the past, as I understand it this has largly been used to black hole child porn sites
534.
by Taniwha 4y ago
IP filters don't really work for something like facebook or twitter though - they block everything or nothing - really you need to get them involved to limit what they send to NZ clients
535.
by Taniwha 4y ago
So NZ has laws that censor some content, and an official office of the censor that decides which things are illegal and which are not - for example the snuff film made by the Aussie terrorist in Christchurch is illegal in NZ, even though El
