When we detect an error in processing in a CPU core, the core can go through a transparent recovery action. This is a complete core reset—almost like a mini-reboot of the core, but the program state, program location, and all the register contents are recovered. So after recovery, we continue running wherever we were [running] in the program. It's completely transparent to the software layers. This is a “core recovery.” If a core goes through too many restarts, the contents of the core can be moved to a spare core. This is a “brain transplant.”

Next time you go to the mall or step into a Target, look around and remember that everything you see was likely manufactured for 5-20% of what the price tag says. It might feel insane to a rational fair-minded person, but spending time in consumer products will make this feel normal. In general, a full 50% of that product’s price goes directly to the store you’re buying it in.

And yet, TED’s archive is a graveyard of ideas. It is a seemingly endless index of stories about the future — the future of science, the future of the environment, the future of work, the future of love and sex, the future of what it means to be human — that never materialized. By this measure alone, TED, and its attendant ways of thinking, should have been abandoned.
