You need a springboard for the logical leaps this article insinuates. More like "It would be nice if..." and then a "oh sure, no problem. That makes sense to us too" than any sort of coercion or something called a schem

Looks like chess has a new meta.

Yes but planting trees and turning it to lumber is an excellent way to sequester carbon.

I have enjoyed so many Carmack talks but this presentation is so jarring it makes me uncomfortable.

It's possible you'll need Gen 5 over the lifespan of this card as storage takes up more and more lanes. That this card takes 2x as many as necessary to save a fraction of a dollar doesn't make much sense unless these things w

Which makes the release of the 3090 Ti earlier in the year pretty consumer hostile.

These must have been sitting in a warehouse for a bit because there's no way they'd be penny-pinching and not support PCIE Gen 5 nor DisplayPort 2.0 on a $1600 piece of hardware.

I misread. That seems reasonable.

Very light response but it's something.

That the "professor" voice sounds like Jordan Peterson potentially unintentionally elevates this into the realm of cringe art.

My thoughts are that a laptop is your best bet for noise/power/performance.

Probably not. You could get away with whatever machine you have lying around with enough space that does differential back ups to an external (or with something hosted somewhere else over the internet).

Some datacenter world lingo also helps: With drive bays you'll see: SFF (small form factors, ie 2.5" drives) and LFF (3.5") Usually written like "12 LFF" for say a server that can hold 12 3.5" drives. Look out

If you're going for budget, decommissioned data center rack servers work well. I purchased a dual xeon (24 cores total) with 64gb of memory, 12 3.5" bays, dual power supplies, for about $250 from a liquidator. Filling it with HDDs

A "successful career" that our culture elevates as a path that will be good for you doesn't always fulfill the needs in your life that you truly are seeking. Usually that path doesn't even give you the space to figure th

The Hindenberg disaster was quite the spectacle but surprisingly only ~30% of those onboard died.

This is an important factor. Accessibility only gets harder to integrate with time and is fundamental to any serious general long-term usage.

I've been researching a solution for this problem for some time and you all have landed on exactly how I thought this should be architected. Excellent work and I foresee much of the future infrastructure of the internet headed in this

Sure, but some external force compelling Spotify against their will to publish speech or censor speech, using their own resources, to harm themselves, is precisely not free speech. Spotify sells subscriptions to content to make a profit. If

This has nothing to do with free speech. Spotify is not being compelled by any authority to remove or keep content on their platform. The only reason why Spotify hosts or removes content is because it's what they decide is best given m

Driverless cars de-incentivize carpooling and incentivize idling on public roads to avoid storage / parking costs (unless states implement fee structures for occupying roads). A taxi model means you can compete for market share by bein

The benefit of rail is that you exchange the enormous capex of shaping and planting metal rails for only having to run and maintain a single locomotive that pulls simple boxes with wheels that can move staggering amounts of tonnage efficien
