    Kind of a lame answer but: Google it. There are blogs online that reverse engineer and document old game engines. Lots of abstracting as pointers, esoteric assembly optimization, c…

    Pretty sure LESS industrial feedback loop generating behavior is the best climate-change solution. Nuclear power probably seems pretty great to WSJ and capitalist readers who want …

    General purpose won as it was realized monolithic chips that did it all were infeasible due to manufacturing technology in the past. Overtime the political story about market winne…

    I’m going to rely on the insight of my friends in the chip biz working at Intel and Qualcomm back in the day; generic CPUs “won” as it became aware manufacturing anything different…

    Security will play a huge role in obsoleting software development as a job. Monkeys in chairs papering over generic CPU design is pushing chip makers to consider silicon designed t…

    There’s an argument to be made that political austerity causes social segregation and people to die in poverty of preventable problems. Why don’t we set aside the rap battle and Ma…

    Fair doesn’t mean the same. I align with Apple a bit more as they actually do interesting manufacturing R&D; they’re all terrible on the software and privacy side. Google is 3-4 us…

    How is this different than instigating demand for Lamborghinis and 30 room mansions? Gaming people to do things of nonsense utility is about all humans have to do after basic life …

    Agreed. Just put your commercials on YT, Twitch, but always link to your wallet; whether it’s Patreon or a tshirt store elsewhere. Decouple. Take advantage of network effects. Mode…

    With different software pipelines they could run right on a GPU It’s all state in a machine, and ML is showing us recursion + memory accomplish a lot; why all the generic structure…

    Yeah I think that’s a side effect of knowing how the sausage is made. I have written my own ECS loops, rendering pipelines; all naive but after that it’s optimizing to product fit,…

    This is where open source can shine. Contributors must maintain standards but can work anywhere. From a logistics and utilitarian human need standpoint we don’t all need to go down…

    Replies seems to be of the perspective I was suggesting we target courts proactively. I don’t think anything I wrote constrains public response to lobbying courts. We could lobby t…

    There’s little context to say the opposite either, which is really the whole problem. It may not be so black and white but you didn’t really help readers lean the way you wanted. T…
