  • RV64 has a maximum 32-bit instruction encoding

    I kinda expected that to happen, since there’s already enough to fit all required functions. So yeah, even this is not a good enough criteria for bit rating.

    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)

    err… they are still instructions, right? And they are implemented. I don’t see why you would negate that from the number of instructions.

    Set a key as a modifier key and program the character provider function in your text editor to to give the corresponding capital letter of whatever key is pressed, in case the modifier key is down.
    Even better, you can use the same modifier key with number keys and other symbol keys to give an alternative symbol, which you could also indicate on the keyboard.
    Let’s call this the Shif… oh wait, what year is this?

    You can only win one battle.
    And you have to choose what you push for.

    This problem wouldn’t have existed, had enough people migrated to open journals during the internet boom.

    And if reviewers are not being paid anyway, they might as well start working with someone that’s not a money sink.
    Of course I can’t say much in this regard, as I have never been a reviewer (probably not even qualifying), but I’d rather be associated with an organisation that focusses on giving a better service than on wringing funds and work out of all that deal with them.

  • What I am putting up there, is that, stopping meat is not the problem.
    The problem arises with using the veganism buzzword, which will make people think that paying those who advertise vegan stuff would make anything better.

    It would most definitely make it worse than whole vegetarian (which includes putting up with the insects and worms that come during farming) and might even end up being as much of a burden as the meat industry.
    People will think they are doing better, while not actually doing better, which is worse than the status quo.


  • friction of water against a submarine’s hull

    I can’t say for sure, but I feel like the affect due to said friction would be much lower, considering we are managing solid-solid friction in a lot of places.

    theoretical quantum bubbles

    Yeah, that’s not relevant. Just added that to clarify which “void” I’m talking about.


    The vaporising metals problem, I think might be alleviated by covalent bonding materials, so polymers? But not sure about that either.
