That still doesn't pay for roads. I love EVs and think their use should be more broadly encouraged, but the gas tax made for a very simple use tax and it's not obvious how one would replace it to do the same thing for EVs. Simply

CAM has always interested me, it’s used in network gear for fast MAC lookups and in modern CPUs for functions like the TLB. It feels like it could also be applied to some application logic if only it was accessible to the app layer.

You're making an argument that PROM, WORM, efuses, etc all shouldn't be allowed to exist. They're used for all sorts of features, not just security. You might do well to apply the lesson of Chesterton's Fence before you

Save die space and thus reduce cost and power budgets. Potentially simplify microarch and cache management. Maybe reduce attack surface?

It’s interesting to me how people approach an AI with simple knowledge retrieval requests. We’ve had search engines for a while and being able to search for facts isn’t a particularly interesting use case. It doesn’t take anything like int
