To me this is the most major breakthrough I've heard in the recent years, which can and will hopefully affect everything. Using the extra CMOS Chip on your flagship smartphone will allow for taking 3D and soon Holographic pictures!
How Amazing! I remember there was an AI trained to turn 2D pictures into 3D [2], combining that with the NPU Chip on smartphones can truly make this happens very soon.

Will we be able to create runtime-less executables that are fully dependency free? That would be awesome to write a bootloader in Kotlin or any other Java Synthax Substitute.
Sorry for quoting wikipedia, but I'm not at school, hah! [1]
'''' TSX provides two software interfaces for designating code regions for transactional execution. Hardware Lock Elision (HLE) is an instruction prefix-based interface designed to be backward compatible with processors without TSX support. Restricted Transactional Memory (RTM) is a new instruction set interface that provides greater flexibility for programmers.[13]
TSX enables optimistic execution of transactional code regions. The hardware monitors multiple threads for conflicting memory accesses, while aborting and rolling back transactions that cannot be successfully completed. Mechanisms are provided for software to detect and handle failed transactions.[13]
In other words, lock elision through transactional execution uses memory transactions as a fast path where possible, while the slow (fallback) path is still a normal lock. ''''

hahaha that was a good pun! Do you have a link to Jann Horns personal blog or Github? I've not never heard of him before.
Oh yes, I agree! One needs to be able to phycically (un)lock the "kernel fpga" like a door without remote capabilities, except for server cpu's. Or whatever chip designers believe is a good "physical kernel embodiment" other than fpga.
EDIT: I know it's not really clever, but I would really enjoy hearing any solutions that doesn't try to fix it at the hardware level.
It confuses my friends though, who write me more at night times than usually, luckily though I've a DnD mode that saves me from waking up. (confuses gf too)
I didn't think about this, but does feeling a smell or scent in different emotional strengths also count to synaesthesia?
In Germany there's a law giving you the copyright on your own photo[1], it's difficult in the USA and less difficult in other countries[2]
EDIT:
Voice recordings are practically illegal in the public without consent in Germany[3] and also in the USA [4][5].

Isn't that prohibited and eavesdropping onto unsuspecting citizens?
I mean it's not just temporarily processed and immediately deleted afterwards. That's Google trying to get WiFi SSIDs, (Satellite, Street, Indoor, Face, Object) Pictures, Voices, real-time Geo-Location of consumers and whatnot.. it's getting off the hand..
I was shocked when I first discovered that my "ok, Google" conversations were stored in the cloud indefinitely with a badly designed and hidden Web-UI that allows "deletion" (whatever that legally means with Google-speak).
I'd wish for someone to sue a giant corp. so that a law can stop other mega corporations from doing deceptive advertisements. Just like factualized "health-benefits" on supplements were prohibited unless proven right via 'a study (?)' as a gateway.
$999 for a much underpowered Sony Vaio like Subnotebook is too much! You also BUY the strongest VENDOR-LOCKIN made into a product ever, the "Google-Ecosystem". Allow installation of any OS, then we're good, but until then, don't say it's a notebook or laptop. It is not!
As a sidenote, using "false" as a strawman as in "fake-news", thus allowing government to "silence false voices" should be stopped. Censorship, illegalization, demonization are the enforcment of rules made for a minority onto the majority and we know why this is bad for a healthy 'governence of a country'.
Pursuing my M.Sc. Thesis in Computer Science in Deep-Learning and Data-Science-based Process Automation. Highly motivated and curious about: CS, AI, PHYS, MED and IT
