In 1980, Intel released the 8087 floating-point chip, making math much faster. I'm reverse-engineering this chip, 46 years later. Most of its instructions are implemented in microcode, but some are implemented in hardware. Let's look at the circuitry that decodes instructions and decides what to do.

But our thoughts and prayers go out to those blindsided by the fact that the 49ers haven't played in SF for a very long time, and who got a hotel up in the city... 40 miles away. You're in an especially fun time.

So, good news for everyone who wished Americans knew why their government was doing across the world?
Too bad it's hitting those who voted against it hardest.

"These paramilitary tactical units behave not like local police, but instead like special forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, or other far-flung battlefields from the Forever Wars of the past quarter century."
The Paramilitary ICE and CBP Units at the Center of Minnesota's Killings
Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of highly militarized DHS units whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones.

"Is AI just stealing with extra steps?"
Instead of claiming someone's work — you prompt AI to make something 99% identical using it as training data.
Grok will literally remove watermarks for you. Change the hat. Sell it. That's not innovation, that's laundering.
