The reason we know Radiation causes bit-flips in DRAM is pretty hilarious.
In the late 70s, Intel Ram was occasionally producing soft, uncorrectable errors.
Turns out, the ceramic packaging on the chip itself had a little bit of Uranium.
You know, as one does.

Everyone knows that the x86 ISA is big.
Modern CPUs have ~1000+ mnemonics. Guess how many make up 90% of compiled C/C++ code?
TWELVE. I'm not kidding.
The question is…what if we shrank it?

Interesting chart. It may help explain the current right-wing shift around the globe. With all the reservations, intergenerational transmission of values cannot be completely ignored.

Refusing to "trust the experts" is meant to be a brave, responsible position.
But (as Carl explains in the thread) there is too much knowledge in the world. You have to trust *somebody*, much of the time.
If you have no trust in experts, you end up trusting the idiots.

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said."
It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy.
