@thor We should take the test subjects and give them ceramic coated teeth. Armor grade ceramic teeth with more aggressive canine incisors.

@AmpBenzScientist

No, the whole point of an interrupt is that it isnt a conditional NOP.

@lupyuen

@freemo @lupyuen It makes more sense when I look at an RTOS. It also makes sense why it's in the Privileged category.

A few NOPs exist in RISC-V but it's rather clever that WFI would be used instead of NOP. It should allow time sensitive operations to run as soon as they become ready.

I want to try and dip those shitty eco-friendly paper straws in stearin to see what happens. Maybe they're nicer with a wax coating.

I mean, beeswax is eco-friendly? Why not dip straws in beeswax to make them water resistant?

@thor Maybe you should use a steel drinking container and pressurize it so you can just drink without a straw. When it's clean and dry, it should work well for cleaning electronics.

@thor There are reusable ones made of glass or steel but they are too short.

To an Asian, this way of picking up chopsticks is probably what 5-year-olds do over there, but it's what I do...

@thor I couldn't figure out how to use chopsticks until I needed to move small objects from one position to another.

It just took counting small things for me to understand how to use them to eat. It has nothing to do with using a urinal.

@MostlyHarmless Get an American speedometer and say you were trying to go the speed limit.

Reminder that the ARM processor - which now dominates the mobile market completely - was originally a British design. Europe is far from being an insignificant player in tech, even if it doesn't have the most successful consumer products. May I also remind you that the KiCad CAD software was designed at CERN, Switzerland and is used by companies all over the world to design printed circuit boards?

@thor CERN has done much more than Kicad. Germany built the first IR sensor when they had the thing with that Austrian painter. Polan had such great Mathematicians that they had to use Reverse Polish Notation for developing practical calculators. Germany had Kraftwerk.

The rest of the world is concerned about rising sea levels, Nederland has been winning a war with the ocean.

@lupyuen Wait For Interrupt would be a conditional NOP wouldn't it? Perhaps it's fine, but it just seems wrong to use it like that. Not wrong as in it won't work but wrong as in it works and that's fine.

"Wait for Interrupt instruction (WFI) provides a hint to the implementation that the current hart can be stalled until an interrupt ... so a legal implementation is to simply implement WFI as a NOP" 🤔

@skyblond What about Shenzhen? I think it's the same economic zoning as Shanghai but maybe it is a little better.

@thendrix In GA that just means the previous man was taking longer than expected.

@thendrix I don't think it's racist. The FBI investigated many isms with great success.
