My book now has a cover! 100% Utilization: Computation and Labor After Moore’s Law is a wide-ranging analysis of how the material limits to discrete, silicon-based computing power impact employment and automation. Out Spring 2026 from @mitpress (link in next tweet).

@msteinbrg @mitpress Thank you! And thanks for the blurb as well–I just saw all of them for the first time! It’s great to know the book is already finding its ideal audience!

The SAC organized the games in order to demonstrate the advantages of decentralized organization in a "street fighting situation". One of the radicals who organized the games, Lee Felsenstein, would later play a major role in the development of personal computers and the internet

Happy to announce that I have won the IEEE Computer Society 2024 Best Paper Award for the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing for this article on the Zilog Z80 and East Germany’s unauthorized cloning of it! computer.org/publications/b…
Andrew Lison@andrewlison

Excited to be a part of this excellent issue! My piece looks at the Zilog Z80 CPU as a global platform, especially in postcolonial Brazil & East Germany. DDR spies stole its plans, helping clone the chip. As the U880, it formed the backbone of the country’s home computing effort.

@brynnposting the OST transformed our entire culture, became a shared cultural myth, influenced the way every Hollywood movie after it would be made, transformed the productive forces of the industry that produces the form of art that it is! This rocks but that's epochal stuff

@profitratedown No problem–I cite this passage in my forthcoming book, so that’s how I knew it was there!

@matthiasellis Yeah I guess per your clarification below the original tweet maybe the answer is “yes”? It certainly revitalized capitalISM to some degree. We’re now on the other side of whatever bump we got from it from say 1973–2008. Without it the West would have looked more like the USSR.

Did the shareholder revolution temporarily solve the problem of the tendency of the rate of profit to fell? Please elaborate your answer in the replies

@matthiasellis I’m going with “no” because this is true for the actual process of value creation, though not (necessarily) (always) the funhouse mirror version of it that the stock market represents.

@matthiasellis Good question because the answer is both no & yes. Strictly speaking the tendency has to do with the relation between variable and constant capital so no. But yes insofar as they have enabled investors to achieve returns > the rate.
