Less OOMs, less timeouts, less noisy neighbors problems affecting other apps

I agree that the cultural difference is the biggest differentiator. Asians put more emphasis on education and trading off work life balance.

Switching from torx screws to pentalobe on iPhones is completely inexcusable. More expensive, less available tooling, no torque advantage. [0]

I think its a fair article. How can you tell that AI has been manipulated to make outputs more appealing to make you do certain actions. You could argue that money <-> favor has been long exchanged, but in this case, we don't have someone to name and shame.

Can you provide 3 obvious problems of how the parent post is incorrect? I am curious of your thoughts.

Why is this a poor look? I was not aware of Brendan's involvement with Rust, nor the effect of the firings on the Rust team.

I see nothing wrong with the CX750M PSU [0]. What do you consider good guts? Compared to the macbook charger, which gets fairly hot under load, I see it as more capable.

2. Cooler cost has very little to do with performance. Thermalright units compete with liquid coolers for a fraction of the cost[1].

3. What does a macbook case offer? Holes for ports and the keyboard, hinge for the LCD. The components themselves do the work. What does a ~$50 case [2] not do? Plenty of cooling, mounts all your components.

4. For llama.cpp text generation, an M3 pro does ~31 tokens per sec with the Q4_0 profile[3]. A 3070 does ~34 tokens per second [4].

WRT the motherboard, I'm not sure what did I suggest upgrading? I recommended cheaper parts than the original post.

I think this is not a fair comparison.

1. a 750w Corsair PSU is ~$100

2. CPU cooler should be $30. A Thermalright cooler is way more than enough to keep at full boost speeds.

3. case is ~$50, its just a box

4. Windows is not the platform of choice for GPU/LLM work

Easy $400 savings. I would also also buy a B660 motherboard as X series motherboards only really offer overclocking options, and modern CPUs do not overclock anymore. $190 at newegg: https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b650-gaming-x-ax/p/N82E16813...

I believe motorcycles are in a different category than cars for a few reasons:

1. If you are too fast to squeeze the brake lever, the tire carcass will not deform properly, giving you the the maximum braking potential. There's a large difference in braking performance just grabbing vs. applying in a controlled manner. You can look up motorcycling racing brake application for more info on this.

2. Breaking too hard can cause a stoppie (a wheelie using your front wheel). Done improperly, that creates a lot of fear in the rider.

3.If you lock the brakes and steer, you are likely to have the front end of the motorcycle dip, causing it to lowside.

ABS helps mitigate all 3 of these issues.

Clarification: it is measured against these clients (not C/C++/etc)

I think that on average, car drivers are less passionate, as most are using it for utility. On the Enthusiast side, I think the averages are similar, but still lean towards motorcyclists being more passionate, with the main example being the % of motorcyclists having custom exhausts and levers. I'd estimate at least 25% of motorcycles have those features. For cars, I'd estimate 5-10% would have custom exhaust or steering wheels.

I agree with both points, fair statement!

The are optimizing for minimizing NOx, CO, unburnt hydrocarbons, and particulate matter. The timing of engines cannot be advanced so much to have high temperature burns which allows for NOx creation. See page 13 of https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cgi/91010CTV.PDF?Dockey=9101...

To me, operating a motorcycle requires 3x the effort of a car. In the case of a sport bike, multiply again by 2, and triple if you have a passenger. Along with motorcycles being more weather dependent, I would not travel as many kilometers. Having driven a car for 10 years, then motorcycle exclusively for the past 3, I much prefer a motorcycle over a car.

An articulated bus can officially carry 120 passengers[0]. With regards to road space used, 3 SUVs with normal following distance would be approximately the length of the bus, or longer. An articulated bus is about 19m, while an SUV is about 4.5m.[1]

There's a good discussion on minimizing heap allocations: https://nnethercote.github.io/perf-book/heap-allocations.htm...

Other follow up, you can always buy government treasuries for yield to offset the tax, which requires very minimal work. At billionaire wealth level, you most certainly have someone managing the funds for you.

I think it should be 0.99^10, since you lose 1% every year, just like interest.

Example showing final balance at end of each year:

Year 0: Start with $1000

Year 1: $990 (1% is $10)

Year 2: $980.1 (1% is $9.9)

...

Year 10: $904.38

I can recommend flameshot[0]. It has good editing tools built-in, low dependencies, and is ergonomic.
