This also will end up in the courts and the Supreme Court has long taken the 4th amendment seriously. Conservatives included.

I expect this to be struck down.


I've stopped expecting anything from this Supreme Court, since it's clear they've also decided to cede power to the executive. The tariff decision is an easy slam dunk that they keep punting and it's clear that they don't want to involve themselves in anything that might have actual blow-back.

Like they did with asset forefeiture, right? Right?

This is possible… but surely it will be Linux with a walled garden on top.

The first clue will be a version of the Xbox running an OS with this model.


The console vendors are deathly allergic to GPL code and won't touch it with a ten foot pole, so even if the Xbox does move away from NT there's almost no chance of it moving to Linux. They'd sooner use a BSD like Sony does, or roll a custom kernel like Nintendo did.

Is not steam exactly doing that and other vendors follow their footsteps?

This is pretty much what I expect. Windows will be "Linux" in a similar sense as Android is "Linux". Or BSD, or whatever. It won't necessarily be Linux specifically, but I expect it will be something.

The US wouldn’t attack in an invasion. It would simply start building bases - it doesn’t need the south of Greenland. Just southern enough for a port that can stay open.

If we build a Rammstein- sized base the US would already outnumber the native population.

Would the Danes or French open fire on us while the US is setting up shop? Highly unlikely.

Trump is pushing a total takeover but I suspect he would rather leave a small pocket of southern Greenland to the Danes to continue supporting the indigenous people, and then taking the bulk of the rest for mineral rights, arctic sea lanes, and defense.


> The US wouldn’t attack in an invasion. It would simply start building bases

Greenland is an island full of a vast nothingness, there is enough space for those kinds of bases. Greenland and Denmark have repeatedly said as much, and allowed the US to build any number of bases of any size. Building bases is totally possible, and always was possible, because Greenland and Denmark have always allowed it and would have continued to allow that.

I mean, they even turned a blind eye towards the US loosing a nuclear reactor and contaminating quite a bit of ice while trying to build tunnels for their ICBMs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Century


This is the madness of the whole thing - the US could already build more bases in Greenland if they wanted to.

This isn't about building bases or military strategy or even resources. If it were about those things then the US could take over Greenland slowly with little effort. My understanding is the population there would have welcomed investment. The US could have done some minor leg work and in 10-20 years Greenland would have been closer / keen to join, or whatever.


It’s a pure political discussion. It will get flagged by enough people who don’t want to see politics to remove it from the page.

I appreciate you.

People have become more anti-Vax because the Covid vaccines were at best ineffective and as you said anything contra-narrative is buried or ignored.

If you push a shitty product and force people to take it to keep their jobs it’s going to turn them into skeptics of all vaccines, even the very effective ones.

More harm than good was done there. The government should have approved them for voluntary use so the fallout would not have been so bad.


People have the right to believe things that could get them killed and the right to share their beliefs with others.

Allowing the debate to be shut down is undemocratic and unscientific (science without question is nothing more than religion).

Not allowing people to come to different conclusions from the same data is tyranny.


> People have the right to believe things that could get them killed and the right to share their beliefs with others.

You're allowed to believe whatever you like. Selling horse paste and 5g shields to mental defectives on the internet and getting THEM killed is wrong.


There was at least one Multics server with users at RPI when I graduated in 1999. I wonder how long it persisted.


Can't find anything about RPI, but apparently the last known site was shut down in 2000: https://multicians.org/site-dndh.html


It may be easier for the memory controller to schedule two narrower writes than waiting for one 512-bit block or perhaps they just didn't substantially update the memory controller and so it still has to operate as it did in Zen 4.


Zen 4 memory controllers operate preferably in multiplies of 512bits (single burst on 16n prefetch mode DDR5 channel, 4 channels on consumer Zen4 devices)


The architecture diagram in the article resembles the approach Apple took in the design of their neural engine.

Typically these architectures are great for compute. How will it do on scalar tasks with a lot of branching? I doubt well.


Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was the most sweeping legislation ever passed via reconciliation.


Obamacare was passed via regular order (60 Senate votes), not reconciliation. There was a follow-up package to tweak it that passed via reconciliation in 2010, but the original bill was regular order. It's the only (very brief) window where one party has held 60 Senate seats since 1977.


Whoops! I remembered the reconciliation but not the initial vote.
