I think GP is pointing out a legitimate asymmetry between the "two sides": there's one* way for a conservative to do things the way they've always been done, and there's an infinite* number of ways for a progressive

It's not "8-wide", it's "512-bits wide". The basic "foundation" profile supports splitting up those bits into 8 qword, 16 dword, etc. while other profiles support finer granularity up to 64 bytes. P

Not OP but for me it's not about what sources to trust (blindly? literally none of them), but what type of information you can trust. Naked facts seem to be safe for the time being, context should be assumed to be heavily biased in a

My understanding is that Planck Length is not a limit to the smallest possible thing; it's a limit to the most precise possible measurement. So there could in fact be lots of things happening at sub-Planck Length scales, but we coul

If you ever end up doing this project, I find that sometimes it's hard to quantify if something is better when going in the normal-to-better direction, but it's always much easier to tell when something is worse when going in the

I'd be surprised if it didn't support ECC; every gen since Ryzen 2000 has supported ECC (although it's unadvertised and you have to be very careful with motherboard selection). I currently have proper ECC running on a 3000 s

What a strange way to word the headline: "refused consent". This would normally be, "denied permit".
