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

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 resu

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.

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.

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

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

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

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) la

I guess I’d call it an appeal to racial sympathy more than anything else. If Chicago wants to charge him with filing a false report, they can go right ahead, but I’m pretty sure they don’t need his personal records to establish that.
