> The implications being that the courts are corrupt? You don’t have to be corrupt to be ineffective. Have you been following patent rulings? Or FISA?

Well, it hadn’t even entered my mind that increasing racial tensions could be a crime, so that didn’t make it through my legal framework. Why did it occur to you?

“Ignite racial tensions”? There was no chance of that happening. Smollett was a laughingstock the day the story hit the news. Foxx declined to prosecute because she correctly saw it as a ridiculous and embarrassing stunt. Another thing to k

One of my CS professors used to work at DEC. His lectures were starkly clear and pretty intense. Jim Keller and other folks from PA Semi worked at DEC earlier in their careers.

Eh, nothing changed for me. People probably just got lost in the hierarchy on mobile or something.

Reporting is facts, quickly. Editorial is issues, thoughtfully. Further down in the article was both a quote from a Bloomberg reporter and a statement from Bloomberg Business News. They got the scoop, as they say.

Of the four sources posted, only the Mail did the work of getting quotes from Bloomberg reporters. That alone gives it more credibility on this story. The other sources have to editorialize, because they don’t contain original reporting. (N

Well, that can’t possibly have any chilling effects.

Engineering samples are in the wild, so about as "ready" as Tiger Lake is.

I’m guessing this is a disagreement on the meaning of “reliable,” and there is room to disagree on that. From my perspective, if your failure model is “it has to run” then you don’t really have a failure model and are just hoping for the be

Wow, a lot of these resonate. Epp's Discrete Math was so much fun--definitely my favorite textbook from college. Moby Dick was mindbending, and my favorite novel until reading Homer's Odyssey. The Bible was a great education in an

Historically speaking, common law is what we call precedent; in other words, past judicial rulings informing current ones. This tradition is strong in the US, but not without exception. English case law, however, is barely taught anymore an

You’re being obtuse. People didn’t object to general warrants because they were messy. They objected because the intrusion assumes a certain level of guilt in the population at large, and the individual suffers for it in a way that is contr

All they have to do is wrap some fabric around their phone core. They should be thanking Williams, not sabotaging his career.

Necro-reply here, but yes you got me. 2.63mm2 on 7nm is about 8mm2 on 16nm, which is same as the A72. And it was the A72, the A73's predecessor. I think the point stands that RISC-V is suited for high-performance designs, which was the

That’s funny, SiFive just announced a 3-way OoO RISC-V core. A73 performance, but half the die area. Pretty awful, I guess. https://www.sifive.com/blog/incredibly-scalable-high-perform...

There are many conflations in these statements of yours, but one of the more offensive is that corporations are responsible for an individual's open-source contributions because that individual draws a paycheck for something else. What

No cell division required, much more accurate than CRISPR. That’s a major advance.

Yeah, violence should be a last resort. I think his point was deterrence, though. If the British had allowed HKers arms under colonial rule, would things be different now? I’m guessing China would have attempted disarmament as soon as Hong

So do you think DEC was spying on Intel during the Alpha days? Whatever they could’ve learned wouldn’t be worth the effort.
