Having no package manager be like:

Not sure about development directions, but they currently have regular hybrids, plug in hybrids, battery EVs, hydrogen EVs…

I don’t think the infrastructure is there yet for hydrogen to be viable, so I don’t really consider those.

Toyota is one of the brands from which I would consider buying an EV.

Ööö (uhhh), not really.

they’ll need to use twice as many chips, which could mean doubling the bus width (one can dream) to 512 bit (ala 5900)

I misread this part, thinking you implied a bus width increase is necessary.

For a 512 bit memory bus, AMD would either have to use 1+8 dies if they follow the 7900XTX scheme or have a monolithic behemoth like GB102. The former would have increased power draw but lower manufacturing costs, while the latter is more power efficient and more prone to defects as it’s getting close to the aperture size limit.

I’d guess nvidia will soon have to switch to chiplet based GPUs. Maybe AMD stopped (for now?) because not their whole product stack was using chiplet based designs so they had way less flexibility with allocation and binning than with ryzen chiplets.

Clamshell design. RX 7900XTX 24GB | PRO W7900 48GB

Same GPU, same 384 bit bus.

NACK-ing rust at version 8 of the patchset is kind of a dick move. The 7 others were fine before? Ridiculous that Linus didn’t step in in a definitive way.

Chapo.chat has the same access problem that led to the current state of hexbear.net so it is to be considered temporary.

Industrial diamonds are pretty useful for cutting.

We are in “free fall” around the Sun so that’s why we don’t feel its pull of gravity.

You would similarly feel weightless if you were in an orbit around Earth.

Ice crystals can and do rupture cells. But it’s not a good method to disinfect as a lot depends on the freezing rate resulting in different crystal sizes.

No, you just get a new set growing in the gums.

Space is emerging faster than it can transmit changes. This is why no light can reach us beyond the observable universe.

As much ignorance and ill will there is behind this process, I’d guess Mexico.

There is a scaling factor for the GUI (by default it checks your monitor’s DPI).

But adblockers don’t enable unlawful enrichment. Or do they?

In GN’s video the law firm mentioned there are 3-4 cases already and they are probably getting combined or go to the same judge. (IANAL; IDK the specifics)

😢 <–

DPI scaling of the regular steam GUI can also be wonky if you have different monitors. For example, I mainly use steam on my lower DPI secondary monitor, but it wanted to scale based on my 4k main one. Could be fixed with an override though.

Anecdote from my first job (software engineering): New manager wants to know what our team does and how our process and software works. Like, he really really wants to know it!

Okay, I book a timeslot and prepare some slides and an example; we have a meeting. I go over the high level stuff, getting more and more specific. (Each person on our team was responsible for end-to-end developing bootloaders for embedded HW.) When I got to the SW update process and what bit patterns the memory needs to have and how the packets of data are transmitted, he called off the meeting and I’ve never seen him since.

I guess, he didn’t want to know THAT much after all.
