Article focuses on behavior, not on fixing our bodies.

(Humanity has a huge issue blaming the experiencer. A large "you smelt it, you delt it" attitude.)

This is reassuring, even if not true. The mid-40s slide is a bump, not a new slope.

Articles like this need a clear shot of the banner.

The original describes a newspaper, and those are written by multiple people. The editors are even different. For example, I trust the Associated Press more than my local paper.

I do wonder if that plays in.

Tragic for the family.

Thank you for pulling the image out.

This talk surprised me at the time. I was starting the eye opening experience of design hardware. Linux more orchestrates the hardware than controlling it.

RISC-V is better for Linux due to driver support. Vendors making hardware are more likely to use RISK-V for their controllers due to the costs. Modern computers are putting more functions under control of kernels that run on proprietary compute. (There exists a chart showing how little the Linux kernel directly controls.) As more of those devices run RISC-V, they will become more discoverable.
Also, those that can design or program tge devices will have more transferrable skills. Leading to the best designs spreading, and all designs improving.

Places in a computer with compute (non-exhaustive, not all candidates for RISC-V):
BMC
Soundcard (or subsystem on mainboard)
Video card (GPU and the controller for the GPU)
Storage drives
Networking
Drive interface controlling card
Mainboard (not BMC)
Keyboard
Mouse
Monitor
UPS
Printer

Will it be perfect? Nope.
A lot of the vendors will lock things up as well.

But why did " collapse of leftist action back in the 70s and 80s"?
