If americans are so rich why do they even work ?

Bit width of vector instructions is not related to address size or register size. Even today x86 have 512 bit instructions when clearly addresses and non vector registers are not t…

Self modifying code is not allowed on some o/s because pages with code are marked as non writable, because bad things can happen when code is writable, eg buffer overflows.

How does that help someone who has already died ?

I feel sorry for nearly every one Paolo visits.... Its like those people have no life, it seems to be a self imposed volunteer prison. Work, sleep, work, repeat until you die.

What do you call the many employees who dont go home at 5 but stay because the culture requires them to wait for the more seniors to leave first ? Is that respect ?

But nobody in Japan is actually living. They are all in a rush to get home or work or school. I feel sorry how little time they actually get to do things they want to do on their o…

Exactly and in a few years when theres another generation of new bit width extensions, all those old programs will of course require a new release, which is precisely the problem m…

How many users does UNCOL or Xerox PARC have today ? Not many. The main o/s we all use today such as Linux/MAC/Windows dont and Im asking why not given the advantages such a binary…

I have watched a few videos on YT of people riding or walking around Tokyo and other cities. I think its a good example of what life there is really like in terms of seeing the env…

The article speaks of generator quantities on a plane as separate machines from the jet engines. In fact it never informs the reader that the jet engines provide the electricity. O…

I do most of my work in java ( https://github.com/mP1 )... so i am familiar with it. Java is a high level language, and the native optimisations are done by the JVM vendor which ba…

Windows cant be fixed. Drives for example are a big problem for all operating systems from Windows to Linux. The fundamental architecture of both was set in concrete a long time ag…

MBS loves computer games apparently. I guess theres not much else to do in a country thats that hot. He has also bought quite a few well known Japanese gaming companies such as SNK…

CPU architectures evolve and often get replaces, eg Mac has moved from 68k -> Power -> x86 -> ARM or even Windows PC have also jumped from 32 to 64 bits and the same is also true o…

Planes dont have generators, like many systems on a plane from air to electricity they leverage the power units they already have - the big engines on the wings.

Probably slightly offtopic, how many generations of vector math instructions will there be in the next 20 years, when the bit count increases yet again ? Intel already has several …

Nice writeup, definitely a lot to learn/think about.

Dont need it today, but love the spirit of open source, following & starred!

I personally think one should aim for small commits that try and do one change or achieve one goal. This means the commit message and maybe a line or two should be complementary an…

Why only dev tools ?

My test is to ask AI to pick up all the rubbish at the beach.

I wonder how many big 5 - world leaders today know how to use a computer.

Maybe its me, but having a human narrate the text is one part of a guarantee that shows an actual team of a few experts took the time to prepare the text and review the finished pr…

Do you plan to make other features within the spreadsheet "programmable", like allowing the user to "enter a script" to do the formatting of a cell etc ? Im asking because my own s…
