Oh, bugger off with the gatekeeping. Not everyone can be expected to know everything about everything. There's a reasonable level of explanation and this summary doesn't reach it. Should ARM need explaining to the Slashdot audience? No. Does RISC-V? Yes. It only takes a few words to lend the right amount of context.
And all that aside, basic rules of clarity should apply. The editors shoud have edited it to a higher standard.
I don't think I've ever read a more confusing summary. Clarifying that RISC-V isn't ARM's baby would have been a start. The subject of each sentence is also hard to decipher - is The Register's (do we have to call it "El Reg"? That's so twee) analysis about RISC-V, or about ARM's anti-RISC-V site? And so on.
The system, called the Generative Query Network, can then imagine and render the scene from any angle [Editor's note: the link maybe paywalled; alternative source],
Why didn't you just use the definitely non-paywalled source?
Doing the math on a slowing of 1/74,000th of a second (per year) and 1.4bn years, comes out to a rotation speed of 18.75 hours per revolution 1.4bn years ago.
It comes out even closer if you start from a sidereal day of 23 hours 56 minutes.
I suspect they came up with the approximation of the rate of slowing from the evidence, and extrapolated that backwards, so it's not surprising it's so "accurate."
Scientists have determined that some 1.4 billion years ago, an Earth day -- that is, a full rotation around its axis -- took 18 hours and 41 minutes, rather than the familiar 24 hours.
If you're going to go so far as to specify "a full rotation around its axis" - a sidereal day - then you should know that that does not currently take 24 hours. It takes 23 hours and 56 minutes (and 4 seconds).
The article gets it right when it says:
According to fresh calculations, a day on Earth was a full five hours and fifteen minutes shorter
Fords have killed tens of people today and do every day. On any typical day, more than 100 people die in the U.S. from auto accidents while riding in brands other than Tesla. In contrast, a handful of people have died in Teslas.
There are presumably a lot more Fords on the road than Teslas.

If you hadn't replied, I'd never have seen it, because it had been modded down. So well done.
Nice try grandad, but:

Or in other words: tata, Tata.

That's a non-sequitur.
Oh yeah, and you fucked up one of the links.

Heaven forbid Slashdot should actually include some pertinent information in the summary to justify the headline...

Hey, I'm thinkin' here!
All you need for full 3D immersive audio is an Atmos-supporting sound bar
Sound bars are no match for separate speakers, so they're not "all you need."

He should have held a Happy Facebook Shareholder's Meeting. That would have been so much better.

...and then everyone clapped!
If you have to look at it to use it, then you probably need more driving practice.

All those numbers are pretty meaningless if you don't include the cost of the final product to consumers.
