It is a step in the right direction, and indicates the court may be amenable to a broader recognition of rights violations in the future.

I’d like to say that I enjoyed first learning machine code on a VAX due to its orthogonal instructions and large fans, but it wouldn’t be true, because I learned on a MIPS machine.

Impressive, but pretty unsurprising given the A series. 100 points higher than the A14 is a less than 10% improvement.

From Apple’s somewhat uninformative slides, we should expect peak power draw around 15W? The A series draws half that for > 90% monocore performance, so scaling seems on target.

Those seem unrelated to me?

We tried LSD and free love already haha

You’re overlooking that each office has a scope of authority. The relevant authority in this case is the Constitution, unless we are no longer a nation of law.

I feel like the above comment is the HN analogue of an old man yelling at skateboard kids from his porch.

We’ve sacrificed a lot of jobs for ideals across human history, and I’m totally okay with that.

The judiciary’s fiscal dependence on the popularly elected bodies is by design and a necessary check on its power. More independent state organs habitually trend towards tyranny. In theory, a deeply unpopular, but principled stance may result in funding cuts, but will survive those; whereas an unprincipled power grab will run into a Congress ready to curtail it.

RISC is a philosophy, not so much a set of rules. If you let the creators of RISC define their approach, the division between RISC and CISC becomes more clear. Most summaries of RISC oversimplify it. Maybe that’s ironic, haha.

Justifying lethal force against people running away astounds me.

It’s one thing if you’re running away with nuclear launch codes, but I’m skeptical that was the case here.

"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak … as being spit on by the rest of the world—"

— Donald Trump, 9 months after the Tiananmen Square protests

Edit: Saw this story on Daring Fireball, and found the original interview.

Are you under the impression that Taiwan wouldn’t welcome US sanctions on China with dancing in the streets? Taiwan was bitterly opposed to detente.

5nm will be a more budget-friendly option for TSMC customers in 2023. This is a conservative proposal, not something bleeding edge.

Definitely true in general, but it would surprise me if the Trump administration wasn’t involved in making this particular project happen, just on the strategic importance alone.

Potentially habitable planets close enough to colonize are rare enough that we can’t afford mistakes either way.

A generalization, but accurate enough. Disappointing to see it getting downvotes. Intel 10nm and TSMC 7nm have similar characteristics, as a brief Wikipedia search reveals.

Fairness at gunpoint is law in a nutshell. Maybe it should surprise us, that our species isn’t good by nature.

JS is inevitable, it just has a flattened curve.

I hope.

Explicatory edit: The CCP, like every government in history, is motivated to conceal its human rights abuses. China also lacks a free press, an important window into its current events. Accordingly, there are obstacles in the way of justly assessing China’s response to this crisis.

I remember when Linux on Arm was the new hotness. That was 2005.

Thinking of the US as “the good guy” deters improvement. If anything, the US is “the better guy,” a more modest claim.

Interesting talk because SweRV EH2 is multithreaded.

Assange is an anarchist. Asking him to please leave some of the system up while he’s tearing other parts of it down is fundamentally misunderstanding the man. Surprisingly, despite the risks he took with other people’s lives, he’s done more good than harm. I hope you were more outraged by the war crimes committed by both the US and the Taliban than you are at Assange’s informative negligence.

That sounds plausible, but a little speculative. Perhaps a follow-up study is in order?

Alas, a point is 0-dimensional.

(I deserve downvotes for this!)

That’s true, and the public anger at Smollett that I see as unreasonable might have to do with that suppression of questioning. But I think the anger has more to do with a) white people who feel defensive about being called racist and b) law-and-order types who are offended by the attempt to deceive the police. They are taking this opportunity to push back against a falsehood, even though it’s a stupid falsehood.

The story was just uncomfortable for me, so I felt relief when contradictory testimony was found. I live near Chicago in an area both white and black, and mainly left-wing. I didn’t dare bring the story up with my black neighbors, and never heard about it from them either, despite its high profile. It was a very self-conscious couple of weeks. In contrast, when Obama was running for office people couldn’t help talking about that, and the sense of pride was real.

There was really no benefit to expressing doubt either; actual tragedies and abuses (Laquan McDonald murdered by the CPD, for instance) are still fresh in everyone’s mind. If current events weren’t as horrific people might be more comfortable expressing doubt and maybe even laughter over a guy with basically a homemade lanyard around his neck.
