"From a developer's point of view, the 68000 provides a full suite of 32-bit operations but has a 16-bit external data bus and is implemented using a 16-bit arithmetic logic unit, so 32-bit computations are transparently handled as multiple 16-bit values at a performance cost. Also, while addresses are 32-bit, the chip is limited to 16 MB of physical memory using the lower 24 of the address bits.[35][36] The later Amiga 2500, Amiga 3000, Amiga 4000 and Amiga 1200 models use fully 32-bit, 68000-compatible processors from Motorola with improved performance and larger addressing capability."

I was born in 1982—so it’s not as if I’ve only just discovered Myst. What I did find astonishing, however, was that in 1997—four years after its release (which felt like an eternity back then)—Myst was still the second-best-selling PC game in the U.S. and worldwide. In first place: its sequel, Riven.

Riven wasn’t released until late October 1997. It took the game just over two months to overtake every other title sold throughout the entire year and shoot to the top of the U.S. and global PC annual charts. Over 1.5 million copies were sold in a very short time.

Knoppix got really popular in Germany in the 2000s when it was still common that PC magazines were sold with CD-ROMs. Especially c't, Germany's most prestigious computer magazine, made Knoppix popular with their bootable Linux CDs for data rescue issues.

I would have subscribed to that before Trump‘s second term. Nowadays for many Europeans great product is not a necessary feature to choose European over American.

tl;dr:

"Of the 602 promises identified, only 19 percent were fulfilled within the timeframe set by Musk. In 35 percent of cases, the claims were never fulfilled or were fulfilled later, sometimes with a delay of several years."

In my view, these were less about liberal causes and more about general humanitarian efforts, such as vaccinations, education and fighting world hunger—things that were generally considered good regardless of political affiliation, before the GOP was completely taken over by a madman.

That was before Trump. Now it‘s different over here in Europe.

"XAI, the artificial intelligence company Elon Musk created and recently merged into SpaceX, is not helping on that front. The filing shows SpaceX directed around 60% of its capital spending in 2025 to its AI division, or around $20 billion. And yet that division — which houses the chatbot Grok — lost billions last year, and only grew revenue by about 22%. That’s far below the reported revenue growth rates at frontier AI labs."

"Lucien,

I see no need for this IPv8. IPv6 was carefully engineered over many years and while not perfect, works and is deployed. What problem are you trying to solve? I seem to have missed that."

But I don't want to.

Kant on AI:

Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so many people, even after nature has long since declared them of age (naturaliter maiorennes), nevertheless choose to remain immature throughout their lives; and why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as their guardians. It is so convenient to be immature. If I have a book that thinks for me, a pastor who has a conscience for me, a doctor who judges my diet for me, and so on, then I need not exert myself. I have no need to think, as long as I can pay; others will take care of that tedious business for me.
