In case anyone wants to keep the ARM9 assembly/core but also wants modern Linux 6.12 support.

The Nintendo DS was a complete package though: screen, buttons, sound, etc. etc. But I'm still amused at the long term life of embedded programming and how ARM9 cores with ARMv7 assembly still is in production today.

That's wrong. And the sooner you get off of clickbait / boy cried wolf style hyperventilating, the sooner you can focus on what matters.

You know. Like what the President says during wartime. While ignoring a million of useless bots and bad analysis.

--------

Your opinion is correct, with regards to Twitter and other awful clickbait media. Most things there don't matter.

But The Atlantic wrote a story about the Presidents escalating words and rhetoric in wartime situation. That actually matters.

The issue of today's media is one of prioritization. Deciding what does, and doesn't matter, is key.

------------

I get that you are tired of the clickbait and crap. But my recommendation to you is to cut out the crap from your life. Disconnect from Twitter and Facebook and maybe you will feel better.

Choose better media. And think about what is or isn't important. Decide how you spend your time and what stories you should be reading. Don't cut off the world, but instead focus your attention on what matters.

This is war. Literally war. I will be paying attention. Maybe you should too.

Its an active negotiation going on about a currently on going conflict. People are literally dying over these words.

Say what you will about it, but the President's words _DO_ matter. Especially in times of war, negotiation, and global posturing.

----------

The hundreds of idiots hyperventilating about this don't matter. But what I can say is that in the USA vs Iran conflict, these words absolutely matter. We can ignore the pundits who don't matter. But the words being discussed here are the President's words.

And I happen to like The Atlantic's overall analysis on this particular situation. But you can't convince me that... this is "pointless". Its literally life or death here man.

-----------

> I don't want to spend any more time on this.

NONE OF US want to spend any time on this. But staying informed about how this war and conflict plays out is hugely important. Digging your head into the sand because you don't care is... well... take your pick at any way to finish that sentence.

We've been forced to spend time on it because it affects business, it affects military readiness. It affects our global positioning, the lives of our soldiers, the lives of Iranians, etc. etc. Even the unrelated Europeans (who did nothing) are forced to pay attention because of the oil crisis that flows out from these events.

I'm not sure how I'd balance the game. You want the feeling of progression, but its too "slippery", the game gets easier if the player feeds their units and lets them grow. But it feels like the player could get "trapped" if they had unfortunate or unlucky losses at the incorrect time.

On the other hand, I always thought the "single map" or "scenario maps" of Wesnoth were excellent. I mean, I like the campaigns its just... tough to figure out the proper design scope there.

Is it really contrary to facts to point out that this is not normal? You started this by saying The Atlantic's headline was incorrect.

The question is what is or isn't normal, as per the headline you disagreed with.

I do believe that a sitting US President tweeting such a thing is extraordinary. And does indeed deserve some analysis for how we got here. Not like in a clickbait we are doomed way, but just a reminder of how far we have gone as a country here.

I think it's pretty factual to point out that US Presidents don't normally send the message "Praise Allah" on Easter Sunday. A blasphemy like that is certainly news and warrants the Atlantic's headline.

Or do you consider the message of "Praise Allah" to be a normal thing for sitting US Presidents to say? It's a straightforward situation, there's no reason to beat around the bush on this news item.

That's just Twitter/Facebook doom scrolling and shitty writing style. They are selling clicks to advertisers and nothing sells clicks better than doom.

Yes. Stop going to internet algorithmic feeds. However, do not ignore the news. Simply choose better, less angst and less clickbaity news. Do you think the Civil Rights protests of the 1960s were informed by angsty clickbait articles? Or were they filled with ignorant dufuses who ignored the news?

Ditto with the Vietnam war. You know, the one with an actual draft and far worse situation than we have right now in Iran. You have to stay informed of events, but that doesn't mean you have to accept the shitty, angst inducing writing style of these clickbait magnets.

No. Back then, they chose better sources of news that inspired action and provided plans. Same is required for today. Stay informed, but ignore the crap, clickbait and idiots.

You are correct in that we must be better about selecting our news sources. But the answer is not about drowning yourself in pleasant fiction on Amazon Prime or ignoring current events.

The answer is to pick non-clickbait / non-doomscrolling news sources that provide more actionable news and stronger analysis. I've picked The Atlantic for this, once a week magazine is fast enough and gives enough time for the writers to provide deep and through analysis on current events.

The fast moving clickbait media of Twitter and Facebook is trash. It's often incorrect, it's full of propaganda, and the people drawn into it seem like idiots (and arguing with them pulls your intelligence down). Find better media, find better people and leave the trash behind.

---------

Pick your news sources. Otherwise, the news sources will pick you. That's always been true since the early days of Yellow Journalism. The media landscape is harder to figure out today, but there continues to be well written independent media today, if only you went out to support them and reach out.

Not so in plenty of other countries. Hopefully US reverses the anti-science trend before it's too late

The fact is that these contractors really do have significant efficiency gains if they can get multiple neighbors to agree to similar work. So it behooves them to do at least a bit of door knocking.

Eventually Jack London writes Call of the Wild and becomes stupidly rich.

Was Jack London the famous author, living off of all the money (writing less popular stories, like White Fang) more valuable because of all the money he made? Was Jack London the hobo less valuable because he didn't write the bestseller Call to the Wild yet?

Or maybe, the entire concept of valuing people off a monetary lens is just bullshit.

What if a substantial amount of local solar contractors are doing door to door sales? Or other locality/proximity based sales (signs, driving a car with ads on it, and the like?)

Old accounts from multiple social media platforms has a $$$$$ value.

So just sing along. Every word, and understand as much as you can.

------

Once you know all the words, then the next step is to learn the grammar and learn how the words work together. If you give it a few months, full understanding will come!

The real treat for German listeners is the first verse: ich, mich, dich, and neun-und-neunZIG (zig is pronounced like ich in the main German dialect).

With all of the 'neunundneunzig' (aka 99) repeated throughout the song, the ich/dich/mich/vielleicht rhymes is really a superior start over the English version.

It's a rhyming scheme that cannot be replicated in English at all.

We are power constrained. The GPUs of this generation can't even be plugged in yet because of these power constraints.

When power is a problem, getting lower power GPUs in is a priority. The 1.8nm and 1.5nm next generation is already in production, and will likely launch before these massive GPU stockpiles are used.

And then what? Why plug in last generations crap when the next generation is shipping?

--------

Todays GPUs have to actually launch and be deployed while they are useful. Otherwise they could fully be obsolete and lose significant value.

Servers can (and do!!) use 10+ year old hardware. Consumers are kind of the weird the ones who are so impatient they need the latest and greatest.

That's truly e-waste. Now in practice, we programmers find uses of 10+ year old hardware as cheap webhosta, compiler/build boxes, Bamboo, unit tests, fuzzers and whatever. So as long as we can turn them on we programmers can and will find a use.

But because we are power constrained, when the more efficient 1.8nm or 1.5nm chips get released (and when those chips use 30% or less power), no one will give a shit about the obsolete stockpile.
