I wonder what quality of soldier you get from N.Korea. Basically every man of fighting age (16-60???) is in the army from what I understand. So that would make the possible level hopeless to competent (maybe).

I doubt Kim has given Putin his "elite" troops.

My comment is more about how we have this decentralised tool, but we're unable to get our collective heads out of the centralised model. We e ended up turning it back into centralised VCS.

Ah... Git.

The decentralised version control system.

The new protocols just announced are to support it. It's a work in progress.

Variable refresh rates. HDR. Colour management.

...for starters.

I'd want the floppy disc to be a standard size though. You can't just chop a ¼" off like that. It won't work.

Thanks for the clarification. I always get that one mixed up the movie where Michael Douglas is walking around L.A. with a baseball bat.

Same as it ever was.

Bets on which car company is going to be the first to EOL a server and brick a bunch of cars because some key feature is now "unsupported"?

...because something needs to check you've paid your subscription. A man in the middle.

You're not asking for a platform. You're asking for alternative communities.

Communities are the hardest thing to move. Fact is, people use discord because the people they talk with are on discord. Same as any other social platform.

We do, depending on how you count it.

There's two major widths in a processor. The data register width and the address bus width, but even that is not the whole story. If you go back to a processor like the 68000, the classic 16-bit processor, it has:

• 32-bit data registers
• 16- bit ALU
• 16-bit data bus
• 32-bit address registers
• 24-bit address bus

Some people called it a 16/32 bit processor, but really it was the 16-bit ALU that classified it as 16-bits.

If you look at a Zen 4 core it has:

• 64-bit data registers
• 512-bit AVX data registers
• 6 x 64-bit integer ALUs
• 4 x 256-bit AVX ALUs
• 2 x 128-bit data bus to DDR5 (dual edge 64-bit)
• ~40-bits of addressable physical RAM

So, what do you want to call this processor?

64-bit (integer width), 128-bit (physical data bus width), 256-bit (widest ALU) or 512-bit (widest register width)? Do you want to multiply those numbers up by the number of ALUs in a core? ...by the number of cores on a piece of silicon?

Me, I'd say Zen4 was a 256-bit core, but you could argue any of the above numbers.

Basically, it's a measurement that lost all meaning so people stopped using it.
