  • Worked in a little delicatessen shop for a couple of years. The local drunkard got banned because they got cross with the owner of the neighboring tobacco shop (this was back when those were still common) and did a protest pee inside that shop.
    Word spread fast among the shop owners in that area and the drunkard was banned from all of them.
    Once, they wouldn’t leave when I asked so I went up to them and showed them out. On the doorstep they turned around, looked me in the eyes and pleaded that it was their birthday. Pretty sad. Probably a lie but pretty sad nonetheless.




  • I see where you’re coming from and I didn’t mean to misrepresent your argument.
    I am wondering about the following though:

    the controlled enzymatic conversion by adding amylase breaks down a lot more of the oat starch than what would normally happen while eating and digesting

    On what basis do you say this? Do you know literature that shows this? Are blood sugar levels clearly impacted differently by oat-water starches with and without amylase treatment?



  • “When we step back and look at it, we see that it is a de facto open ecosystem. Open ecosystems benefit from having consortiums with stakeholders, all with a voice in driving the ecosystem forward”

    Lol if the x86 ISA is an open ecosystem, CocaCola is an open source beverage.
    Trying to read between the lines though, is Norrod implying that they are considering moving toward a more open x86?
    The impression I’m getting is that they’re thinking about sacrificing various legacy features (32bit being the most obvs one) to bring performance per Watt closer to the competition. And then put in its place a more standardized successor? RIS86? They will likely aim to steer clear of formal (published) standards because they want their trade secrets. However, they will need to simultaneously ensure not to violate antitrust rules.
    Might be easier for them to just forfeit trade secrets and embrace a different model altogether.
