mathgradthrow··on Athlon 64: How AMD turned the tables on Intel
This seems like an object lesson in making sure that the right hand does not know what the left is doing. Yes, if you have two departments working on two mutually exclusive architectures, one of them will necessarily fail. In exchange, however, you can guarantee that it will be the worse one. This is undervalued as a principle since the wasted labor is more easily measured, and therefore decision making is biased towards it.

mathgradthrow··on VPN use surges in UK as new online safety rules kick in
Every male on earth looked at pornography as a child. Any problem it creates is literally as bad as it can possibly be.

You also don't have a control group, and social media is a much better guess for whats wrong with men anyway.

Basically all of the hyper masculine bullshit aimed at children advises them to not consume pornography.

This is just fear-mongering.

I can't read substack on my phone, so I can't see the article, but the correct statement that is closest to what you have written is just that d is any real number satisfying this inequality. We define a subset U of AxBxR by

U={(a,b,x):x>|a-b|^2}

and then were looking for the infimum of (the image of) U under the third coordinate function

d(a,b,x)=x
