  • I mean, the best understanding is still probably going to come from some Russian guy. Also, he isn’t random, he is literally the guy responsible for general awareness of the fundamental workings of economics.

    I want you to go read Value, Price, and Profit. It’s short, like 50 pages long, and written for the masses. This book explains what money is better than any singular resource out there.

    Socialism is when the profits go to the people, communism is when profits go to the government, and capitalism is when the profit goes to an individual.

    Anarchy means society dictates its rules as an autonomous collective more than anything. It’s doesn’t mean “no rules” it means “no rulers”. Nobody really explains what that means because no society really does it in the modern day. It’s all theoretical what it would look like.

    Economic policy and social policy aren’t necessarily related in that they don’t depend on each other. You can be a capitalist anarchist or a socialist Republic or a communist monarchy or whatever, one is money the other is people.


  • You are going to be looking at some variant of oculink, you can get riser cards that convert a PCI-e or M.2 socket into an oculink port if you don’t have one available stock. Still though, if you are building it yourself why even bother? You are going to add a significant cost to the build for marginal or no benefit over buying a mini PC with an oculink port and a known compatible dock. EGPU options are not plug and play, they rarely just work and need significant tinkering and workarounds and will come with noticeable drawbacks in the best case scenario.



  • It has nothing to do with the answer being wrong, it’s how you get there. If you fail to subtract seven, realize your mistake, and correct it you have already passed the test. People with dementia will either start to count down by the wrong amount, start counting up, stuff like that. You are testing whether they can abstract verbal instructions and maintain a consistent train of thought while performing trivial calculations.

    Counting down on your fingers one by one and only saying every seventh number would be considered a perfect score once you make it to about 63 if you don’t lose track of what you are doing or start forgetting numbers.


  • Having more than one emulator available is good for people trying to get into development. It is still common to guide newer developers toward writing their own emulator for a very well understood system to gain an understanding of some of the more high-level concepts and abstraction. Having multiple different codebases gives you ideas on how to implement features in new ways.

    Of course, the cynic in me says it doesn’t matter if the products aren’t competing in feature sets, the more robust system will be used and developed, but I don’t think that’s the point of the exercise.
