Because most of those people are not repeat violent criminals? We only need to incarcerate repeat violent offenders to reduce crime noticeably. This is not controversial. The data is linked-to above.

Wouldn’t you say that the lowered crime rate enjoyed by the innocent as a result is an improvement?

A LOT of crime can be solved. A huge percentage of perps are multi-repeat perps. Putting them away permanently would solve a lot of crime. "75% to 83% of released prisoners are arrested for…

Nope. I don’t want to work on systems that self-handicap in dumb and predictable ways. Mistakes happen. But mistakes that were preventable and knowable at design time … they are inexcusable, and RISCV…

False dichotomy. They are also quite possibly aqui-hires which then put the good engineers unto actually useful projects.

The author of this is one of the greatest minds of our time. While doing this is cool, he also designed the Hazard3 core in the RP2350 as well as the QSPI unit in it -- the only memory-mapped QSPI uni…

When the top perf per watt or perf per MHz machine is RISCV, we'll talk. Until then, lol.

Repeated nuisance alarms have the same effect on all humans, not just on pilots - it trains them to ignore the alarms. Eventually this will lead to non-nuisance alarms being ignored and lives being lo…

This sort of nonsense is well studied in aeronautical world, and will lead to too many alerts, which, in turn, lead to predictable outcomes: https://flightsafety.org/asw-article/n…

I've had now-ex friends send me unsolicited ai-slop catch-up messages summarizing their life "since we last spoke".

Prediction: absolutely nothing will happen about resolving this. Ever. And eventually they will find a line in the ToS allowing this and point to it — some paragraph that says they may cut any line of…

yes, compared to the length of time ballpoint pens have existed (88 years -- since 1938), this is very recent - only 9 years ago
