I still have a hard time understanding how people come to support Trump. Like what led people to become like this? I can't wrap my head around it. It's like supporting someone who is bullying you.

If every country he puts tariffs on ends up implementing their own retaliatory tariffs, what would happen?

Yeah I'd definitely recommend it. Loved that when there's a fantasy-based beast, people investigate how it works from a basic science perspective, then derive a new weapon that play crucial role in combat.

Also loved that alliances shift and change. The story likes to lull you into complacency before pouring cold water over you.

It's quite mild compared to game of thrones. The 'dark' parts are not personalized, but description of things happening at a population level.

How close are we to RISCV chips having comparable performance to consumer proprietary chips?

Speaking Bones - Book 4 of the Dandelion Dynasty by Ken Liu. This is probably one of the best fantasy I've read. The setting is based off of ancient China. It's similar to Game of Thrones in the sense that there's a lot of world building, there's no main character, no one is safe from death and the fantasy is lightly applied.

It introduces interesting ideas like storing electricity in objects made with glass, intestines and gold, then utilizing it in warfare. Also logic gates implemented with just basic materials like wood and ropes. Basic AI (non-ML). Etc.

I'm quite confident anyone who enjoys programming will enjoy this series.
