Andor is a documentary about radicalization, resistance movements, and fascism set in the Star wars universe. It is VERY true to life and based on real revolutions.

It did an excellent job showcasing real politics and social dynamics. Tons of characters and they all had depth.

The first season is very good, the second season is, IMO, some of the best political drama ever produced. It's also highly entertaining.

Slow? Not necessarily.

The main issue with that much memory is the data routing and the physical locality of the memory. Assuming you (somehow) could shrink down the distance from the cache to the registers and could have a wide enough data line/request lines you can have data from such a cache in ~4 cycles (assuming L1 and a hit).

What slows down memory for L2 is the wider address space and slower residence checks. L3 gets a bit slower because of even wider address spaces but also it has to deal with concurrency issues since it's shared among cores. It also ends up being slower because it physically has to be further away from the cores due to it's size.

If you ever look at a CPU die, you'll see that L1 caches are generally tiny and embedded right into the center of the processor. L2 tends to be bolted onto the sides of the physical cores. And L3 tends to be the largest amount of silicon real estate on a CPU package. This is all what contributes to the increasing fetch performance for each layer along with the fact that you have to check the closest layers first (An L3 hit, for example, means that the CPU checked L1 and L2 and failed at both which takes time. So L3 access will always be at least the L1 + L2 times).

They've moved into ignore mode. Now they are hyper focused on the scandal that is an octogenarian having cancer.

It'll all be super PAC donations. Because that's untracked and allows for unlimited donations.

Every CEO thinks like this. CEOs are so incredibly bullish on AI BECAUSE they want to replace people and not tasks.

Former staffer that resigned because of the Gaza policy and was not involved in the 2024 election.

From the article, since you didn't bother to read.

Harris has not been the candidate many of us wanted. Her candidacy is historic, but she and the Democratic Party have failed to champion a truly progressive agenda — one needed not only to motivate her base, but to take on the right wing’s increasingly fascist policies and rhetoric. It has been devastating to see Harris refuse to break with Biden on Israel, adopt xenophobic talking points about immigration policy, and campaign alongside hawkish, pro-war Republicans.

And yeah, I 100% agree with the author. Her position is and remains mine. If you'd bother to read the article, you'd see she even supported the uncommitted movement, which guess who the protest voters were?

You are struggling to square away that I have empathy and understand why people couldn't stomach Harris. Stop calling people "morons" because they can't as easily justify genocide as you can.

Also do note that rather than addressing my challenge, you proved my point. Harris had identical Gaza policies to Biden and the only reason to vote for her was the fact that there were some pro Palestinian Democrats. You vote for her not because she's better in Gaza, but out of the hope that members of her caucus could moderate her position.

My position has been rock solid through the entire election. Feel free to look through my past comments.

The only ones coping are you guys that are just becoming aware of genocide because Trump is also supporting it.

Keep getting mad and ignoring anyone who doesn't 100% carry water for Democrats. I'm sure that will continue to be electorially successful.

Produce any media where she even hinted at having a different Gaza policy.

Israel started the genocide early after Oct 7, it's not escalated. They're already leveled over 80% of Gaza and destroyed every hospital and piece of infrastructure under Biden.

Tell me, how is that at all different from Trump's current policy?

Edit: for the down voters, I don't care. My point is made by you not being able to do anything other than down vote. You know I'm right and that makes you mad. No media exists which will absolve Kamala on Israel.

[–] cogman@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Not to me.

Biden's and by extension Kamala's Israel policy was functionally identical to Trump's. The atrocities happening under Trump were happening under Biden. The only thing that's changed is now that Trump is in charge it's become acceptable for left leaning media to criticize that policy. Under Biden, outlets like MSNBC literally fired everyone with even an incling of pro Palestinian rhetoric. They framed genocide protestors as antisemites.

And it wasn't just Biden. Practically the entire DNC was 100% behind Israel.

The people protesting had friends and family killed by US muntins that the Biden admin never even hinted at threatening to reduce, even after Israel doing things like murdering aid workers. Even after blowing past every single "red line".

Go watch Antony Blinken talk about Israel. It's disgusting, but there really was no difference in rhetoric between him and the current Trump admin.

You don't understand the protest vote because, like Biden, you didn't look into or care about the protesters until it became something you could use to bitch about Trump or voters that didn't do what you wanted.

And yes, I voted for Kamala and told everyone to vote for her. Her campaign shat the bed by chasing right-wing voters and by ignoring the genocide their admin continued to aid. "At least I'm not the other guy" does not work or inspire votes.

I'm rooting for that, but after the end of the trump admin. I really hate that Trump is likely getting 2 more SC justices.

If you're lucky you'll be deported back to your own country.

I don't blame a single person for not wanting to tour the US ATM.

 

A solar storm forecast for Thursday

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center said people wanting to experience an aurora should get away from city lights and that the best viewing times are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time.

 

Really unfortunate seeing hate groups marching while pointing guns at my family. Would have rather not seen that.
