  • In-memory computing is a new way of computing that aims to solve the memory latency problem. As the name suggests, in-memory computing enables the system memory to do some calculations the CPU would do otherwise, cutting down the amount of data that must be transferred between the CPU and DRAM.

    Samsung and TSMC are actively working on memory capable of doing this, featuring MRAM memory cells. In-memory computing is still in the prototype phase, but progress is being made on the hardware side to make it a viable technology. With the help of conversion layers like PyPIM, software should be developed to support this computing method.










  • You don’t even have to do anything and there are thousands of people out there trying to protect you from getting more fucked[…]

    Don’t go around telling them they don’t have to “do anything” plz 😅

    You removed the emphasis on “You” from my quote which changes the meaning. I specifically meant that you, the person that I am replying to, don’t need to do anything, and there are people who will do something on your behalf.

    Nothing that you’ve said changes my critique of your critique btw. You said:

    he lives in absolute La La land

    No, actually he presented a well thought out analysis of the way that the relationship between business and customer/user in our current system, along with the relationship between business and legislator, both entrenches monopolies and causes a pathological dependency whereby customers cannot exercise their right to freely choose with whom they do business, and so their rights are severely diminished.

    the idea that these webs of laws or these models of “how things should work” mean anything tho the people with power are complete nonsense.

    The main point of my reply was that you are arguing against a straw-man here since the intended audience of the article is not “the people with power.”

    like, buddy, your country just went full Nazi. You’ve been living in a total fantasy. You’re not going to rethink the concept of fixers, get a grip.

    A non-sequitur and then a baseless dismissal of the argument that suggests that you either didn’t read it, or didn’t understand it.


  • Did you think this blog post was aimed at the people with power, to petition them to change the laws?

    It’s aimed at us, the people getting fucked over, to point out what (among the many other things) we should be fighting for. Commentary like this is important to align the goals of the organizations, charities and lobby groups that defend YOUR civil rights by filing amicus briefs, publishing articles, encouraging activism and drives to get citizens to write to their representatives on the important matters that affect their rights. You don’t even have to do anything and there are thousands of people out there trying to protect you from getting more fucked by Big Tech and capitalism, on a volunteer basis.

    It sounds to me like you’ve just given up hope that any progress can be made on this front, given the new status quo.

    Never give up. Just because civil rights defenders will be on the defensive for a few years does not mean that discussions of what is worth defending no longer have value.










  • It’s one of the most anticipated translations because it’s a beautiful looking game that is just impenetrable if you don’t speak Japanese. The best we had before was a translation script that you could read along with a walkthrough guide, but that’s not the way most people like to play a game.

    It’s not surprising that if you start a project for a game like this and then go no-contact for a decade, people will start to look to see if they can pick up where you left off. There’s this unwritten rule in the fan-translation community that you don’t start working on a game that someone else has already started working on, but what is the time limit on that?

    It seems like everyone in this situation could have done a better job of communicating in the first place, and then could have been more gracious to eachother after the fact.
