Depends on if Roberts decides to retire or if Sotomayor dies. We’ll get another whack job if either of those things happens. Not saying Roberts isn’t a whack job, but he’s about the most moderate conservative on the court right now. (God help me, Barret is a close second).

No way he doesn’t get replace with someone like Aileen Cannon.

Alito or Thomas retiring will be a wash. Alito has said he’ll retire, so expect that to happen in the next 3 years. But honestly, I highly doubt there’s anyone as crooked as he is so it doesn’t really matter.

All containers are, are isolated preccesses so its barely different than launching any other process.

The two biggest differences are that containers use more disk space vs non-containers and that containers won’t use shared libraries. That means that instead of loading up 1 version of glibc for most of the OS, you end up with n containers glibcs loaded up.

Practically speaking, this isn’t really a huge deal. A lot of those libraries fit in less than 1mb. A disaster if this was my childhood computer. A non-issue on modern systems with more than 512mb of ram.

You can sue the federal government. Qualified immunity keeps these assholes from facing any consequences at all.

What can I say, I’m a performance nerd.

That’s a platform dependent change. Overflow is undefined behavior. I’d rather have my code portable so it can run on my Univac 1101.

boolean isOdd(int num) {
  if(num == 1)
    return true;
  if(num > 0)
    return isEven(num - 1);
  else
    return isEven(num + 1);
}

boolean isEven(int num) {
  if(num > 0)
    return isOdd(num - 1);
  else
    return isOdd(num + 1);
}

Yup, the band is already littered with 6g devices. It’d be a stupid purchase.

But also, 6GHz is somewhat of a useless band for carriers. It’s high enough frequency that it’ll get absorbed by most things yet low enough frequency that it’ll struggle to really carry a whole lot of data.

It’s remarkably cheap for a billionaire to do this shit. Bezos bought wapo for $250M

It’d frankly be dead cheap for a billionaire to setup and run a progressive newspaper and/or fund a hundred YouTube progressives and progressive politicians.

Heck, they could setup and operate a general union fund and support union campaigns and union relief funds. They could indefinitely support striking workforce. Doing that just once would completely change how companies interact with unions.

Exactly.

He could have seen another trial, but it’d be with a new jury.

Arbitration is usually faster and cheaper than setting up a brand new trial.

They don’t have the votes to pass a law, they do have the votes to stop laws from being passed. Further, the Republicans just killed a rule that allows 30 senators to block all bills by challenging executive decisions. The Republicans killed the rule to roll back a Biden admin decision to allow California stricter emission standards. Every challenge requires a mandatory 10h of debate. There are about 100 years worth of Trump admin decisions Dems can challenge to block the upcoming budget bill.

Will they do that? Probably not, because they rolled over on the CR when they could have easily filibustered it.

And yes, Schumer knows about this, he wrote an open letter warning Republicans not kill the rule.

This is what I hate about the Democrats. They’ll happily roll over, yet I guarantee you the Republicans will abuse the hell out of this rule if a Dem president gets into office.

Exactly.

The senate is particularly bad. Schumer is basically MIA and is effectively rolling over because thinks letting republicans get everything they want somehow looks good for him.

Slow? Not necessarily.

The main issue with that much memory is the data routing and the physical locality of the memory. Assuming you (somehow) could shrink down the distance from the cache to the registers and could have a wide enough data line/request lines you can have data from such a cache in ~4 cycles (assuming L1 and a hit).

What slows down memory for L2 is the wider address space and slower residence checks. L3 gets a bit slower because of even wider address spaces but also it has to deal with concurrency issues since it’s shared among cores. It also ends up being slower because it physically has to be further away from the cores due to it’s size.

If you ever look at a CPU die, you’ll see that L1 caches are generally tiny and embedded right into the center of the processor. L2 tends to be bolted onto the sides of the physical cores. And L3 tends to be the largest amount of silicon real estate on a CPU package. This is all what contributes to the increasing fetch performance for each layer along with the fact that you have to check the closest layers first (An L3 hit, for example, means that the CPU checked L1 and L2 and failed at both which takes time. So L3 access will always be at least the L1 + L2 times).

It’ll all be super PAC donations. Because that’s untracked and allows for unlimited donations.

Every CEO thinks like this. CEOs are so incredibly bullish on AI BECAUSE they want to replace people and not tasks.

Often, some of the dumbest people in the company. Unless the CEO literally founded the company, chances are really high that they are a know nothing nepotism hire. Their only skill was being born to a rich and well connected family.

I really wish people would stop idolizing business leaders as ideal government leaders.

The principles that make a good business are fundamentally different and often in conflict with good government leadership.

A business would say “oh that rural farming community? let’s ignore them. They’ll never make up more than a tiny fraction of our profits”.

A good government, on the other hand says “oh that rural farming community is the breadbasket for the population. Let’s keep them happy so the people in the cities can continue to eat cheap produce”.

And this doesn’t even touch the corruption aspect. A business leader won’t likely have the morals to properly regulate their own business.

I’m rooting for that, but after the end of the trump admin. I really hate that Trump is likely getting 2 more SC justices.

Basically.

And, to be clear, 2019 was under the trump admin. I can’t stress enough how crystal clear and dire someone’s case would have had to have been for Trump’s immigration judges to grant asylum. They were giving that out to basically nobody during his first term. Except for I guess this guy.
