This might need major fix
> In a 64-bit ISA, each instruction is represented using 64 bits (8 bytes).
Not as I understand it and maybe only for exotic ISAs like VLIW. For most other, CISC or RISC, I think the instruction length might be much smaller, and in some cases, x86 for example, the length of instructions is variable (one of the reasons they have a decoder). The size of the registers is 64 bits, as are the ALU operations on these registers, and the length of the words that are addressed in memory.
Molnupiravir promotes G to A mutations as well as to a lesser extent, C to T mutations
The authors conclude "Overall in the dataset, we observe a systematic accelerated evolutionary rate in high G-to-A branches (p<0.001), consistent with the action of a mutagenic drug."

C. had a pretty good deal with zilog, but they pissed it away for maybe not very good reasons....
Had things gone different C900 and the like might've been there instead of the Amiga.
> Duping delight is a particular micro expression a person will display that betrays a sense of enjoyment they are getting out of controlling and deceiving another person. It is a very important expression to watch out for in catching dishonesty in a person. In fact it is a form of body language pretty much exclusively reserved for pathological character types such as psychopaths.
1. losses in conversion of heat to electricity (generally under 50% efficient)
2. losses in electricity to EM power of the laser
we are still a long way's off from designing a fusion apparatus that can sustain the fusion reaction on its own power.
the article from the premise however specifically notes that it disregards pollution contributions of the impacts of EV on 1. powerplants to make the electricity and 2. mining and manufacturing of EV major components such a batteries.
While it's possible to scrub pollution from powerplants if you don't care about the cost of electricity you still have the much nore important issue of CO2 (G warming pollutant) which the article also does not address. Far more important than PM2.5 pollution imho, unless you're addressing just the cars within major metros like NYC, London, etc.
In this regard, point #1 is a major major negative mark when you compare EV versus a well designed gas powered hybrid. .
