The simple example can be x86 with monitor/mwait instructions. These will suspend a hardware thread until it can be awoken when the memory write happens to the monitored address. Nothing happens on that cpu thread in the meanwhile. Yet at the same time if things are being virtualized the higher authority exists and it can do something else with the CPU until the write. Same for OS type of event synchronization like Linux futex.
I would argue that the wait abstraction is more powerful. The alternative isn’t powerful enough to enable these kinds of “wake me when I can be useful again” behaviors.
We can all have our ideological preferences (democracy, socialism, free-market capitalism, etc) but geopolitics does not operate in the world of ideals — there are adversarial relationships that force governments to act in a certain way in order to remain sovereign.
Zionists want to rewrite history so we can all ignore the long list of grievances the Iranians have with the west (Israel in particular) and instead operate in a false reality where the only criminals are the Iranian. The bottom line is you can’t spend decades savagely attacking a nation to undermine its government (because you don’t like their policies ) and then expect to easily paint the government as the evil ones as they fight for survival with the kind of brutality you can expect from a government that has its back to the wall. We all saw you wage economic war with sanctions. We saw you block medicine and food. We saw you assassinate their intellectuals and academics. We saw you bomb their embassies and assassinate their leaders. We can dislike the brutal Islamic dictatorship but we know who is the greater evil — the Zionist hypocrisy doesn’t go far with the free people in this world.
Is Saudi Arabia a human rights violator? Yeah and so is a bunch of western governments. But no modern government comes close to the abuses of the Israeli government and Israeli military. This is the view of the free people of this world.
I’m confused?
Tech bros helped Israel genocide Gaza. Tech bros are pro-authoritarianism.
I’ll tell you what — when you start accepting what the hospitals in Gaza are saying about the Palestinians we will start accepting what the twisted IDF doctors are saying.
You literally had a high ranking IDF officer resign in protest over the coverup of the rapes. Imagine the level of evil to make an IDF officer resign. My guess is she saw much more than we have seen.
You can get pedantic and argue all you want about meaningless tangents to try to misrepresent people whose views you dislike as liars but in the end you are going to be another Zionist using rhetoric to distract from your racist and genocidal ideology.
Admit you are genocidal and racist. Admit you support IDF that raped on camera.
But what else can I expect from the movement that justifies murder and starvation of children as necessary for peace.

What a movement.
