Thank you for sharing this. It brought together things I had suspected but not from his perspective. Also pleasant to read something that used rhetorical devices in a cohesive way instead of just as sprinkled on flavor packets.
How is this person alive? That’s a terrifying amount of relatively high frequency energy. And pressurized gasses of some sort.
I have no idea what you are trying to say.
V100 came as sxm2 and sxm3. And it was 16 and 32gb.
HGX is DGX with extra toppings.
Yes, I have some of these cards and AFAICT the HBM2e chips just always run at full speed. I have different variants of the pcie cards and while I can get the gpu itself into a lower power state the memory just runs full tilt. Though I see 40w on my “normal” cards and 60w on the Frankenstein card that thinks it’s an sxm4.
What does vibe coding add here? How is this any different than just arbitrary code execution on device, which is exactly what this gatekeeper rule covers?
(Not commenting on the rule, just want to see what’s new here)
Well the USA is a net exporter of all oil products since 2019, this will probably make some people very rich and has the potential to be good for parts of the us energy sector.
The west coast is the only part that relies on middle eastern oil. And a spike in prices will just get them in line and connected to the rest of the shale powered system.
I don’t like any of this, but I think the doom and gloom lies elsewhere.
I also pay for yt premium.
Most people do not seem to like pay to play, pay to “win”, etc and this falls either very close or in that category.
The long term economics seem questionable to me. Google can always turn up the heat a bit more with ads, charge more for the ads, play more of them, etc when they need to be more profitable. The only way they make more from premium subscribers is charging more and they will lose people each time they do. I guess technically they could make more if premium watchers viewed less content but there’s a pretty hard floor and I suspect the economics of it are much like soda fountains.
I’m afraid ultimately if premium becomes too large of a user base Google would need to turn it into an “ad-lite” experience to increase profits. Then we’re in an even worse place.
In general, no they aren’t. But there is the social security tax, which is individually tracked and collectively allocated for that office. And the Medicare tax which goes off directly to that program. These two constitute a major component of money going into the system.
Not free. If you look at an itemized statement for air travel you’ll see that you’re paying the TSA for this treatment directly.
Not really relevant, just makes the whole thing worse imho. There are new carryon bag scanners which are basically CT scans I think. Again not really relevant just makes it all worse. We could afford better medical care but we spending it on security theater and power tripping.
And that's in a country with a much larger population and much higher passenger count per year.
These are actually points making the Japanese system easier to maintain. Because of smaller surface area it’s much denser.
probably something to do the with RGB sub-pixel order/layout being different. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering
When the OS assumes correctly what the monitor actually looks like, you get even better text rendering. When it guesses wrong you get a horrible mess.
This is very interesting. I was looking into the viability of something like this a few months ago and started seeing eye watering prices and closed off ecosystems. And many gotchas when looking into diy, more than I could justify learning about.
it has a few issues, I think jeffgeerling sums it up fairly well.

"Like the Pi 4, I think this system is the first RISC-V desktop environment that isn't painful to use, just inconvenient. Actions still have delays, but the delays are more reasonable, and don't make me constantly question if the computer's frozen."
also some really odd choices by Eswin for the eic7702x, which is essentially 2 p550 chips glued together.
There’s also this RISC V thing, I ordered one in July and got mine in November.
I could transplant the desktop model I got into my original framework, but I haven’t attempted it.

It’ll just make their auditors and legal team desperate for money, which is kinda horrifying to consider.
