Let’s rephrase the question: “is it cheaper to find and view that popular video from 20 years ago than a single news article the NY Times released 20 years ago?”

Otherwise, you’re comparing a current events media platform to a once-popular video hosted everywhere.

There have been plenty… that’s a big part of the problem.

Unfortunately, the emergency response team was fired in February.

And this is all despite India having dry states….

The MC68000, for example, is over 40 years old and out of patent. It’s been repackaged on a smaller process as the 68SEC000, and there are Verilog implementations available too.

And that’s just the example that’s top of mind. There’s a whole line of low frequency Atmel processors too, but those are still very much in patent and so mostly tangential to this conversation.

RISC-V doesn’t really make sense for simpler implementations though; you’d still have to do a bunch of work to simplify it, AND end up with an architecture very few are currently familiar with.

Once Chinese implementations of RISC-V become endemic and there are enough people familiar with the architecture, it might make sense to start creating custom subsets on simplified processes. But we’re still years away from that.

Kind of a misleading headline; the county didn’t get to choose anyone. Marin county chose and they were a rounding error.

It’s a shame actually, because rural counties do have an important voice that will now get ignored in CA.

Of course, that voice voted for current republica when they could have voted independent, so they voted for this.

While true, RISC-V probably isn’t the architecture for that. Better to use an old architecture whose patents have expired, and implement it on a new, smaller process.

RISC-V is good as an alternative to ARMv8 where the use case doesn’t quite fit what ARM is doing — or to implement in a country where there may be restrictions on how ARM is sold/deployed.

What I’m waiting for is for someone to implement something in RISC-V similar to Apple’s ARM implementation, with all the cores and memory on a single die. No need to do FPGA when you can just fab an unencumbered design in small batches for relatively cheap.

Surely that’s 0.002 hegseths? Or is it like calories?

I watched the Veritasium episode on it just yesterday! The other theory is that it was actually being used for covert signals and the disruption was secondary.

“The regime is wealthier than ever” is a low bar considering most of the citizens did, and still do, live in poverty. Those at the top? They’re getting as rich as oligarchs everywhere.

All the funding going to look for the wrong type of illegal aliens….

You can create a new protocol without even touching electronics.

I’ve got a protocol with my neighbor that if their deliveries end up on my doorstep, I take it to them and ring their doorbell. They do the same for me.

Seasonal Affective Disorder - a mood disorder triggered by serotonin/melatonin regulation issues, normally caused by not enough sunlight exposure.

That’s why I read on my phone. I can quickly pick up a book where I left off, wherever I happen to be.

Latency, also known as ping time by gamers, is the amount of time it takes for a signal to get from one computer to the other. Bandwidth is the total number of signals that can be sent over a given amount of time.

Eg: a bus has more bandwidth than a Kawasaki motorcycle, but also more latency (from a people moving perspective).

In answer to your second question: it depends on what you find depressing.

I love being snuggled in by dense cloud cover, and I love the rain. I’m not susceptible to S.A.D.

I like evergreen trees and mountains and water and moderate temperatures. So the PNW is like a perfect vacation experience for me year-round.

Other people are used to the prairies with wide open clear skies and hot hots and cold colds. Other people prefer equatorial climates with lots of sun, humidity, and storms that rush in and rush out again.

They probably wouldn’t do so well in the PNW.

The device in your pocket connects to an ISP, who is also your cellular carrier. And it connects constantly, advertising itself to the local transmission towers, even when the phone is “turned off”. Your ISP/cellular provider always knows where your phone is, unless it’s disconnected from power or out of range.

There are “Internet cables” across the ocean; there are also “Internet satellites” orbiting the earth. The cables are good because they provide low latency. But that is not the most desired feature of all Internet packets; sometimes, bandwidth or range are higher priority than latency, and in those cases, a wireless transport layer may be preferred.

I hope they start with the T.
