Not in those terms, but an autobiography is coming, and bits and pieces are being explained. I expect about 10 people to buy the book, as all of the socialists will want it for free. I am negotiating with a publisher as we speak on the term

"financial incentives" This is the most ignorant response I've seen yet. We don't expect monetary gain from publishing a book. We expect our costs to be covered. This is about the consumer, not the publisher. If we lived

So, there are books out there. I use Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach by Hennessy and Patterson. Recent revisions have removed historical information. I understand why they did remove it. I wanted to use Stallings book, but th

Sure you did. What were they? The only successful transputer was the T414 and it never made it outside academia.

I tell students today that the best way to learn is by studying the mistakes others have already made. Dismissing the solutions they found isn’t being independent or smart; it’s arrogance that sets you up to repeat the same failures. Sounds

Inmos was a disaster. No application ever shipped on one. EVER. It used a serial bus to resolve the problems that should have never been problems. Clearly you never wrote code for one. Each oslink couldn't reach more than 3 feet. What

"I believe there are two main things holding it back." He really science’d the heck out of that one. I’m getting tired of seeing opinions dressed up as insight—especially when they’re this detached from how real systems actually w

Yep, transputers failed miserably. I wrote a ton a code for them. Everything had to be solved in a serial bus, which defeated the purpose of the transputer.

Let’s be honest, saying “just fix the page tables” is like telling someone they can fly if they “just rewrite gravity.” Yes, on Apple Silicon, the hardware supports shared physical memory, and with enough “convincing”, you can rig up a cont

Please explain how these "worker cores" should operate.

Unified memory doesn't mean unified address space. It frustrates me when no one understands unified memory.

Wait until they get to code generated by AI. All of this Rust code that people are using and sticking in various Linux services. It won't be covered under the GPL. It will flat out be public domain.

Don't you love people make claims and the can't substantiate the claim? They just down vote your comment.

Activist investors are a problem. Most recent activist investors have been centered around climate and DEI. Exxon had activist investors try to get on the board. There was a lawsuit over it, I believe it was Arjuna Capital. Whoever is fundi

No, it's not a choice we made as a society. It was a choice the shareholders made. You didn't make that choice, you were not part of it.

This is a terrible opinion piece. Layoffs do work. Cutting hours does not work. I am always amazed how few people understand how a business operates. They think its a community organized event where there is unlimited revenue. There are a f

How? If you enter into a contract with them, it has to be litigated in their tribal court. Who do you think is going to win? The chief sits on the court as the judge and jury.

This code benchmarks mutex contention, not mutex lock performance. If you're locking like this, you should reevaluate your code. Each thread locks and unlocks the mutex for every increment of g_chores. This creates an overhead of acqui

No. It is not. More than 1/3 of the Tor servers are run by US Federal Govt as does other members of the Five Eyes. Israel has a large number as well. Cases are built backwards or in parallel that are from the fruit of the poisonous tre

RIP. I enjoyed City of Glass, but Ghost and The Locked Room I found dull. Leviathan was good, it made me curious if he was the Unabomber.

Really? Because this group has not spent a dime on solar, and is funding the protests on Universities. You have fallen for the same Democrat slime ball propaganda. This same group is under investigation for fraud. It couldn't be becaus

One would think, but Biden is looking at imposing a 30% excise tax on crypto miners. This is directly targeted at Texas, to slow further development and growth in that state. Crypto has been one of the largest drivers for renewable energy i

These are not the net neutrality rules I personally was looking for. They allow a base traffic speed with data caps, and then you buy a la carte for the additional speeds you want. They still allow prioritizing traffic. There is nothing neu
