In other news. A factory fire in Hull, England received nothing more than local news coverage this week. Their product? Hand sanitizer. Turns out that 99% alcohol is really flamible.

I wonder why there's such a huge disparity in news coverage between these two stories. I guess it's because the building was evacuated successfully, right?

So "instruction encoding length".

I don't think that works though. For something like RISC-V, RV64 has a maximum 32-bit instruction encoding. For x86-64 those original 8-bit intructions still exist, and take up a huge part of the encoding space, cutting the number of n-bit instructions to more like 2^(n-7)

Trouble is that people pointing at this as evidence to show that Reform can't be given power fail to realise that it doesn't play as a negative to those that vote for them. Some Reform voters see this and think "they're not afraid to be honest". Trump's comment played positively to a large number, as awful as that is.

Digging up a little bit of misogyny on these people isn't worth the effort.

Even then, at what point do you measure it? DDR interface is likely very much narrower than the interfaces between cache levels. Where does the core end and the memory begin?

I expect the engineers are telling the marketing people "No! You can't do that. You'll scare everyone that it's incompatible."

...but they're not in 100 percent correlation in this case, and you're naive if you think they are .

We've proved we can do fusion, but we're still at the stage of just having singular reactions. None of these are power stations with a continuous flow of output, and they're not even close to being so.

How much of this is climate change and how much is agriculture? Could better agriculture techniques help? Or not needing Iran to be wholly self-sufficient because of sanctions?

...because they are going to a 6 day work week.

Is that when the Country leaves the EU or the people leave the country?
