"Linus Torvalds can be known for his hardware commentary at times like hoping AVX-512 "dies a painful death", Intel's "bad policies" around ECC memory, and giving NVIDIA the finger. The latest colorful commentary by the Linux creator is around Intel's new Linear Address Masking (LAM) feature that aimed to land in Linux 6.2 but is now delayed until the code can be reworked": Linus Torvalds Bashes Intel's LAM - Rejected For Linux 6.2 - Phoronix https://www.phoronix.com/news/Torvalds-Bashes-Intel-LAM

"Is it too late to ask Intel to call this "Top-Bits-Ignore", and instead of adding another crazy TLA [Three Letter Acronym], we'd just all agree to call this "TBI"?

I know, I know, NIH and all that, but at least as long as we are limiting ourselves to regular US-ASCII, we really only have 17576 TLA's to go around, and at some point it gets not only confusing, but really quite wasteful, to have everybody make up their own architecture-specific TLA."

@mrcopilot Actually this is already a problem. Usually when I Google three and four letter acronyms to see what the heck they mean, there are three or four things they are being used for. TLA, for instance, is also being used as the acronym for the Texas Library Association, so TLA is their TLA.
