In the 90s, Hitachi came up with a bizarre way to conserve memory bandwidth.

 Their SuperH architecture, intended to compete with ARM, was a 32-bit architecture that used…16 bit instructions.

 The benefit was really high code density. If you can fit twice as many instructions into every...

IT'S UP NOW. We had a lot of fun getting unhappy about how many of the world's problems are caused by the original mass violence workers: ENGINEERS.

If this proves effective, it'll mean fewer owls and other animals dying from eating poisoned rats.

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?

My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade. Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents. #PublicPreparedness #Minneapolis

Much love to my writer friends, but please stop using Substack. I get the appeal, but there's no reason to get that company involved.

computer science is when you write “Alice” and “Bob” and “Eve” on a whiteboard and the more times you write it, the more science the computer is

This should be the bare minimum for any national dems from here on out. It will of course not be. We will hear so much about ICE reform.

The internet wasn’t broken by one bad decision—and Cindy Cohn (EFF) says there’s no single fix that will restore it. Listen as OGs & advocates explore the past, present & future of the open web on the Future Knowledge #podcast. 🎧 Listen & subscribe: futureknowledge.transistor.fm/episodes/the...

San Francisco Bay Area, PLEASE retweet - here's the front desk phone number for KPIX. It's buried deep in the website. 415-362-5550. Press #3 to leave a comment. Call them, say you are boycotting all CBS and Paramount properties until Bari Weiss is replaced

The early web was driven by curiosity & openness, not monetization. Audrey Witters reflects on that era, using her now-famous animated alien GIF as an example of how playful, freely-shared work helped shape digital culture & why preserving it matters. Learn more ⤵️ blog.archive.org/2025/12/22/a...

Nature informing technology: make generative AI so depressed over how little it gets paid that it gives up.

Gonna print this out and stick it to my wall every time a person says that "the market will crash" or "innovation will be stifled" because of the smallest tax increase for the wealthy.

Competition in the arts is always just a race to the bottom

An exquisite initial M, from the works of the early Christian writer Lactantius. Printed at #Venice by Vindelinus de Spira in 1472 & soon after decorated in the white vine style. In England by the sixteenth century & on the shelves @theulspeccoll.bsky.social in 1715. Inc.2.B.3.1b[1333].

The December edition of "The Blue Note Monthly" playlist is up featuring a cozy mix of The Finest In Jazz to get you thru the winter month ahead including Horace Silver's sublime ballad "Peace": bluenote.lnk.to/BlueNoteMont...

Imagine: 7 years developing a rich narrative universe, complex character arcs, millions of readers, never monetizing it — then 20 years on no one remembers it because it was just a Sprite Comic.

Good morning! Woke to find that it’s apparently now December, winter solstice within touching distance! Somehow I know I’ll dreaming of the light all day! Happy new month to you!

The victory of progressive candidates is a byproduct of our work caring for one another and building a better world, not the goal of our work.

I'm ecstatic over Zohran's election, but I agree, and people need to prepare for how much opposition there will be from the machine. Being very vocal and organized for the policies (less the politician) is VERY important, otherwise Zohran will just be this century's John Purroy Mitchel.

I am begging journalists to stop using random tweets/skeets/whatever from randos as evidence of "what everybody is saying"

Holy shit what

My former proximity to this one moment of ICE barbarism is not the point—the point is they’re enacting violence all over the city. It’s like nothing I’ve seen before.

This is who @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social is. Brilliant. Fearless. I fucking hate typing this shit out: Free Eman. Amplify amplify amplify please.

Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. #BorderPatrol, claims a @wbez.org/@chicago.suntimes.com report about his comments Sunday in downtown #Chicago was "grossly inaccurate" and taken out of context. So we've posted the interview's unedited AUDIO and TRANSCRIPT: www.wbez.org/immigration/...

Fills me with rage. I drove past here every day for 4 years. I hope these pathetic cowards never get another moment of sleep as long as they live.

God, what a fucking coward.

“The DHS first began working with UTS in 2008 and accounts for 98 percent of UTS’s contracts with the federal government.” 👀👀

This is worth a read (or listen). You will not be surprised to learn that Bovino did in fact describe racially profiling people.

@schumer.senate.gov Resign and take your ineffectual opposition with you.

This passage nearly broke me.

This only happens to you once

Hmmm....

This might be totally asinine, but I feel like the majority of musicians in my community have embraced more traditional concepts and form over the last few years (self included), and I wonder how much of that is a unconscious reaction to the political times vs us growing older and more knowledgable.

NEW — Multiple videos and photos shared to social media show over a dozen federal agents, including Border Patrol, raiding a Home Depot on 47th Street and Western Avenue in Chicago. This Home Depot has been targeted for arrests at least twice before. thetriibe.com/2025/09/bord...

Apparently they found download codes for a modular synth ambient EP carved into the bullet casings.

Something that does give me (long term) hope is that all these people are huge fucking losers that no regular person could stand to be around for longer than a day or two.
