Correct. They need 67 to impeach or override a veto. I am hoping democrats will understand this and not waste everyone's time with endless investigations, trials, impeachments, and so on. Unfortunately, it's all they can talk about lately.

Trump went on a retribution campaign in Jan 2025 that democrats complained bitterly about, and now they are going to do the exact same thing in Jan 2027.

And so the merry-go-round continues.

You'd have to either discipline or expel cheaters. You can't discipline cheaters because then their mommy and daddy will stop giving money to the endowment. You can't expel cheaters because the school will lose the tuition revenue on top of that.

There is no financial justification whatsoever for solving the cheating problem.

Comment Dipshits, it's still a bug if AI finds it (Score 1, Informative) 29

This anti-AI bullshit has got to stop. If an AI finds a real bug in your program, sing hallelujah and move on with life. Computers will always be able to execute algorithms faster than humans, and with greater depth and accuracy. That's the whole point of their existence - to do stuff that is too complex for humans to do, and to do it quickly.

Bolsonaro: "We cheated fair and square and didn't win, so we're going to sue."

It's the same playbook Trump is going to use to try to overturn the midterm results because "we couldn't possibly have lost because we rigged the election with gerrymandered election maps!"

You'll see. Just wait.

Submission + - Bringing USB 3 and USB4/Thunderbolt to Windows 98 to 7 (yeokhengmeng.com)

yeokm1 writes: Vintage OSes like Windows 98 are not something you would associate with working on modern machines. Modern machines use xHCI USB controllers which no have drivers for legacy OSes like Windows 98.

In the past couple of months, I addressed this issue on the side with AI's help. So now, we even got USB 3 and USB4/Thunderbolt on vintage OSes.

Comment Writeback was the killer feature (Score 1) 94

But on Linux? The software RAID controller was faster. The job is I/O bound, not CPU bound.

The good RAID controllers had a battery-backed writeback cache, which would make transactional workloads (lots of fsync) much faster by reordering across write barriers. It's an order of magnitude faster in many cases.

You can't do that without battery-backed memory to replay the transactions after a power loss. Memory-only cards did exist, but they were rare and proprietary. In practice 99% of people who needed this just used a hardware RAID card.
