<p>I think you could do many performant things without any involvement of software. For example you could do AVX on RAM. The CPU would recognize PID RAM and offload AVX instructions to the module.<p>Then, by simply asking for a special memory address you could have access to registers/regions within PID RAM that serve as a result region.<p>Let's say you would need to run a sum over megabytes of data like for accounting. You could just ask RAM to do it and load just the result. The bandwidth would could be 8x higher and software could stay the same.<p>Doing scalar operations, frequent dereferencing and similar would not get much peformance benefit in many cases, as loading and accessing CPU cache is often much faster. But simple vector operations over large data could be massive.<p>Having accelerators on RAM like for jpeg compression, audio decoding or mass data operations could be beneficial but you would need to be careful with heat dissipation.<p>Personally I'm a big fan of the "in-ram accelerator" idea especially for server space. Doing fuzzy search in RAM could be massive performance improvement.</p>

<p>The problem is that convincing yourself that you are smarter than your younger self with opposite views, means that you are right about the politics now, is just a fallacy.</p>

<p>Yes, if there is a set of strings that can uniquely identify you, and you can't have it removed, nor act like somebody else, it's your identity.<p>Even GDPR admits it</p>

<p>Yeah and that's exactly what shouldn't happen. Government's should not have a power to ask a private company for data under any circumstances and they should not make "race" a compulsory data to submit, so that you could exercise your rights.</p>

<p>Attaching numbers to people is unbelievably creepy. My identity is not a number. We recoil at the idea of having assigned and tattooed numbers on our bodies and I don't feel it's okay to do it, just so you could maybe avoid misidentification.</p>

<p>Food is not that expensive when you cook yourself. Children even don't eat that much.<p>Breast milk substitutes are expensive though, I admit.<p>I'm not saying your budget doesn't change after having a child. I'm just saying for a price of a special color on car, vacation and couple nights out, you can afford to have a child for a year.<p>It's not cheap, but most of us are blowing money on useless stuff anyway. Some are donating thousands a year to online creator, game microtransactions, drinks in a bar, designer bags, funko pop collections and such.<p>The lifestyle inflation is real. And thanks to shifting priorities, you might even get yourself into better financial position after a few years, then before having a child.</p>

<p>It's a tradition within my family to pass down most of the child stuff, so kids run in second hand clothing that will get puked on, torn, and pooped in anyway. There is no need for a larger car unless you really have a 3+ kids family. You don't need a larger house. That is a scam they are trying to sell you.<p>In case of special needs you are correct. But you need to hope that's not the case.</p>

<p>Don't pay them money, instead have children. The reason why they have money is you decide to buy their product instead of spending it on kids. (of course nestle and similar excluding)</p>

<p>IMHO we should just accept the lower income. Since women entered workforce we got used to the inflated lifestyle. We should just accept that having a kid will cost you money and it's fine. It's the best purchase there is.<p>Some might decide to buy more expensive car or larger house and that's cool choice as well. But in the end will bring you just a temporary happiness and maybe some social status boost.<p>Screw consumerism, just have a child.</p>
