Sure. But these foresale boards had quite limited distribution. If you really wanted to buy or sell locally you needed to go where the masses were. That was not BBS's or Usenet. Craigslist appealed to the masses and came at a time when the masses had access.

AI and similar not-quite-AI automation is pretty good at finding entertaining might be true information but is often a hindrance when exact accurate results are needed. Guess what? Work needs exact accurate results.

I wonder how much of this is inherently physical and how much is social influence. Sure, the body resilience declines. Ideally, this would be the time to step up health management: eat better, exercise more, pay more attention. But I don't think this generally happens. People gain obligations so they spend _less_ time taking care of themselves right when they need to speed more.

Evangelists believe that the masses have not heard the TRUTH because the DEVIL has mislead them. Are you sure this is really different from conspiracy theory?

Clearly AI as currently constructed does not think. But the fact that it gets as close as it does to human behaviour using algorithms so far from thought as we think we know it raises the question: have we overestimated our own abilities?

What does it mean to purchase 200 Megawatts? Do they get 200MW indefinitely?

Also, since the energy doesn't exist yet, does the payment either? Or is Google just committing to purchase this much when it becomes available?

Except we all know AI isn't doing exactly that. I can see Accenture having a role in bailing out companies that already laid off their staff because AI only to discover that AI isn't enough. But they don't want to rehire because that is embarrassing and because CEOs are sure that the next AI effort will truly replace their staff for real.

Ok. So Honda is learning how to land rockets vertically. That's a useful skill, albeit hardly unique. It isn't remotely to the level of launching payloads into orbit. But, gotta learn to crawl first, right? The "reusable" bit is hyperbola. No further than the rocket went and given that it is just a test vehicle, it better be reusable. I look forward to seeing further progress. It will be quite a while before they can compete with SpaceX or even Blue Origin but this is an area where having more players is good.

Actually, the ratio of disabled people in the workplace increased during the pandemic and then levelled out when RTO mandates began. It's almost as if disabled people had more trouble getting and holding jobs when they had to come to the office every day.

My experience as an unemployed person who is that officially disabled but encumbered by a heavy health management load is that companies with RTO mandates don't care about candidates health issues and likely believe that ADA doesn't require them to. And they are likely right about the latter.

RISC hasn't been new for decades.
RISC V isn't new either. There are many players already.

Neither can be the foundation for a major new player unless the founders are idiots and I doubt they are.

So, whatever wrinkle will set them apart is something not disclosed in TFA or any other source I have found.

RISC killed it when a small team could crank out a more than competitive RISC processor on a gate array.

By the late 90's cpu chips had become much much larger in terms of gate count. This created enormous opportunities for microarchitecture optimisations but exploiting this opportunities required huge expensive teams and enough demand for the finished product to pay for it all. Only the PC market was big enough and that was owned by x86. Other architectures, RISC and CISC alike, starved. ARM survived by serving a market where big, power hungry, uncustomizable processors were not suitable.

Sure, but making a custom ASIC is seriously expensive. No one is going to do it unless there is a market for a ton of them, which there isn't. What this guy did was actually make one. Working hardware beats hardware that you can "probably" make but haven't and probably never will.

Cancel the second ticket within 24 hours of booking and even the most restrictive ticket is fully refundable.

The counter is for the airlines to only allow all tickets to cancelled or to reprice the remaining ticket when the companion is cancelled. I have no idea if any airlines do this or if they can. The free 24 hour cancel is US law.

My desktop also has 64GB of RAM but it does swap occasionally.

• I run gentoo and some compiles can be really big
• My backup regime compresses using lrzip, which will use tons of memory. It is quite a bit more efficient than less memory hungry compressors.

How do you know this? Do you work in HR? Most of us don't have access to this information is spreadsheet or any other form. Most companies discourage employees from disclosing their wages to co-workers (a whole other discussion) so even informal sources are scant.
