From a European perspective the liberal American position is racist AF because it accepts the concept of race as something real. That is, the understanding is that while racism exists, race plainly doesn't. To solve such issues you make sure that all kids go to primary and secondary schools which can develop their whole potential so that kids from all backgrounds have an equal chance. In the American context: Stop financing schools from local property taxes as that means that kids from poor neighbourhoods go to worse schools than rich kids.Those neighbourhoods quite often are predominantly black, which is how racism perpetuates itself systemically, but if you address the issue by "give black folks more money, or require lower test scores" instead of "get all the poor kids the chances that rich kids have" you're playing the racist game, you're playing into and reinforcing divisions, resentment, all that BS.
This goes so far that there was a discussion in Germany about getting rid of the term "race" (Rasse) in the constitution (Article 3) as something that one must not be favoured or disfavoured for, argument being that anything valuable that could be meant by it is already captured by "parentage, homeland or origin". In the end the Gordian knot was slain by the Jewish community which said "We should keep it as a historical artefact signifying that the constitution was written in reaction to a time where that term had vicious meaning". That everyone could agree on, would be valuable.
I don't think any real-world ideology can be neatly mapped to brain structures, and vice versa. A rigid thinker growing up in a Zapatist commune will turn out quite differently, and hold fast to very different values, than a rigid thinker growing up among Amish. And where questioning the status quo will land you also isn't predetermined: A Zapatist could deepen anarchic principles, they could regress towards democratic socialism ("we tried, but the world isn't ready yet"), an Amish could become a reddit Atheist, a philosopher, or a batshit crazy supply side Jesus Evangelical. Or, like, a welder, not caring about religion. Or a Buddhist.
One thing's for sure it's never a good idea, from a progressive POV, to attack lentil stew: Don't fuck with the actually tried, good, and true. If the "traditional" in "traditional carpentry techniques" makes your eye twitch, seek help1. When meeting a rigid thinker, make sure to establish rapport by showing your appreciation of such things, you'll find that suddenly they're much more amenable to listen to new (to them, or in general) ideas. In this case, centrism actually is enlightened: It allows you to circumvent the old vs. new discussion and get into good vs. bad which ultimately is what actually matters.

That's three devices. There's two connections between them, and they go "RAM<->CPU<->SSD". The first <-> is the DRAM Phy, the second <-> is 1-4 PCIe lanes. Neither of them are a bus. There is no third connection.
That's not contradicting anything I said, on the contrary it's contradicting your assertion that those people would be funding the war. Their wealth is largely unaffected, still making profits (even if a bit lower) because they're still fulfilling their purpose as loyal viceroys.
Like, usually they could e.g. produce ballistic vests out of cardboard, bill the army full price for the things, and pocket the difference. That doesn't fly any more but that doesn't mean that suddenly their businesses are unprofitable.
Among kremlinologists there's generally an acknowledgement that the viceroys aren't exactly thrilled about the war because it's cutting into their profits and they're not seeing any point in it, OTOH they're also not willing to bite the hand that feeds them. Few have armies large enough to march on Moscow, none have armies large enough to face down the actual one, and none of them wants to end like Prigozhin. They also don't like not being able to travel to Monaco. They're assholes captured between a rock and a hard place. Normal Russian circumstances, one might say.
Very likely schizotypal, definitely severe social anxiety, a fuckton of phobias, upbringing and class context which was racist AF but still he managed to have good "salt of the earth" black characters in his stories. That is, he imagined black people, with agency and everything, whom he was not terrified of, that's not being a piece of shit that's conscience and hope shining through more existential terror than you can imagine. Hard enough to find rapport with people when you're schizotypal in the first place (you inevitably, in search for actual connection, start talking to their subconsciousness which often ends in a barrage of projection), doubly and triply so when you're caught up in upper-class ritual.
So, kindly, fuck off with your normie judgements building the exact barriers that cause the persistence of problems you're judging others for not solving.
The war is funded partly by the taxpayer, partly by inflation. The viceroys might be making less of a profit right now as they can't engage in their usual level of grift but Putin doesn't, and isn't going to, touch their villas and fancy cars.
It was you who was talking about "bus paths" and "traversing CPU>RAM>SSD". There's neither buses connected up to any of those things nor does the data ever flow like that, it always flows via the CPU.
There's really no such thing as "Russian billionaires", at least not in the western sense. Also not in the oligarch sense, oligarchy implies rule by few, that's not the case in Russia, it's an autocracy, rule by one: There's the Tsar and he doeth bequeath wealth upon loyal viceroys in the form of fiefdoms to exploit. The Tsar giveth, and the Tsar taketh away. Shit hasn't changed since the times of the Russian Empire but this time around it's less about territories and the people on it but factories and industries.
So... what's wrong about my characterisation of computer hardware? Do you have any issue with the claim that RAM doesn't talk directly to the SSD, but via the CPU? If yes, please show me the traces on the motherboard which enable that. About the importance of latency to CPU-type computations?
Or do you want to tell me how it's absolutely unsuspicious to bang out a press release in tech and talk about "speed", not distinguishing between bandwidth and latency? Where's the fucking numbers. There's no judging the tech without numbers and them not being forward with those numbers means they're talking to investors, not techies.
PCIe 5.0 x16 can match DDR5's bandwidth, that's not the issue, the question is latency. The only reason OSs cache disk contents in memory is because SSD latency is something like at least 30x slower, the data ends up in the CPU either way RAM can't talk directly to the SSD, modern mainboards are very centralised and it's all point-to-point connection, the only bus you'll find will be talking i2c. Temperature sensors and stuff.
And I think it's rather suspicious that none of those articles are talking about latency. Without that being at least in the ballpark of DDR5 all this is is an alternative to NAND which is of course also a nice thing but not a game changer.
The usual solution is to dual boot. If you're not ready for that try out the system on a live USB image, or in a proper VM, but none of that WSL stuff.
Any complex data stuff they could need should be done on some database server, the rest of what they're doing can be done by anything that can deal with minesweeper.
You need >700C to decarburise iron you don't need much for that but coal and a fan, i.e. a bloomery. Pretty much defines the beginning of the iron age. Getting very low-carbon iron is quite easy, you just need enough fuel and air, the trick is then adding the right amount of carbon back. Also, getting rid of impurities, slag inclusions, etc, long story short: Lots of hammering and folding different carbon grades together, though some work can be saved by building very large bloomeries and processing very large batches producing quite slag-free low-carbon iron which then can be case-hardened.
The way out of that is crucible steel, melting your ingredients in an air-tight crucible, but that requires advanced furnace technology that somehow noone came up with before industrialisation, with the exception of India. The banding btw is due to alloy not production method (though you need to follow specific steps to bring out the banding).
One day Mal-2 asked the messenger spirit Saint Gulik to approach the Goddess and request Her presence for some desperate advice. Shortly afterwards the radio came on by itself, and an ethereal female Voice said YES?
"O! Eris! Blessed Mother of Man! Queen of Chaos! Daughter of Discord! Concubine of Confusion! O! Exquisite Lady, I beseech You to lift a heavy burden from my heart!"
WHAT BOTHERS YOU, MAL? YOU DON'T SOUND WELL.
"I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe."
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THAT, IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?
"But nobody wants it! Everybody hates it."
OH. WELL, THEN STOP.
At which moment She turned herself into an aspirin commercial and left The Polyfather stranded alone with his species.
Answer. I said answer. Not solution. Too much aspirin and your blood thins out and you need to move to Transylvania.
It can't, municipalities and states can, and the EU law allowing for this requires showing they're a threat to public safety (which is why it's not a federal matter the federation doesn't do public safety). The Berlin state government wants to expel some people, so far no other state has made similar moves, and it's very questionable whether Berlin courts will let them do it. And then there's federal courts. And then the ECJ.
The Nuclear Waste Software License is brilliant. Not only does it make the right impact when publishing random write-only code, it's legally BSD so lawyers won't be up your arse about it. In fact, it only strengthens the warranty disclaimer.
