There is a pretty good interview with David Patterson on Fridman's podcast. He worked on early versions of RISC and lead Par Lab at Berkeley where RISC-V was initially developed. “It's more difficult—surprisingly—to come up with a simple and elegant solution.”

One thing that the Feeder mobile app has done well is to have compatibility with various formats from RSS feeds to Mastodon. It's a decent means to create follow lists for information still yet beyond Nostr.

Recent developments with RISC-V are getting pretty exciting.

High Quality 3D Scene Generation From 2D Source, In Realtime

Here’s some fascinating work presented at SIGGRAPH 2023 of a method for radiance field rendering using a novel technique called Gaussian Spla...

"You have free rein to explore, reposition cameras after the fact, break spatial continuity, and recombine performances in ways that 2D simply can’t."

Where is the Beef? Regulatory Barrier to Entry and Competition in Meat Processing "In short, regulatory extortion tyranny. Inspection regulations are size prejudicial. I know one facility that was ordered closed because it wasn’t processing fast enough. The Food Safety Inspection Service measures its efficiency by pounds inspected per personnel-hour, creating an adversarial discriminatory attitude toward small plants. In 1906 when Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle 7 large companies controlled half the nation’s meat processing capacity. After a century of government intervention, 4 now control 85 percent. When licenses and compliance make entering and maintaining an abattoir more burdensome to small facilities than large, concentration and centralization is not an anti-trust issue; it’s a discriminatory regulatory issue." —Joel Salatin Video: Full testimony: https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/salatin-testimony.pdf
