Consumer Ryzen requires unbuffered ECC RAM so most usual RAM options are not compatible.
722.
by pedrocr 7y ago
128GB of ECC RAM itself is going to be ~800-1000$ as far as I can find some to fit in a Ryzen build. So it won't be trivial to reach the price point for a full build although Ryzen is clearly great value anyway.

I've been using puppet for everything for 8 years now. I try to avoid using the pre-built modules so that I know what everything is doing but I do use a few. There's a base config I use everywhere and then some modules that are sp

ETFs, the index ones most people use anyway, just track the market and do so very closely. There's no market timing effect from buying or selling the ETFs.

I very seriously doubt you'd lose any of those benefits by just trading on 10 second or even 1 minute increments. Everyone has a bunch of time to submit orders, the auction is ran, and then everyone gets the result back. I'd reall

Not all liquidity is the same. I've seen calculations that stated that HFT doesn't actually add valuable liquidity to markets because the moments you need that extra liquidity are price uncertainty moments where HFT traders disapp

Given that this was a spreadsheet it's more likely that someone hired the contractor directly without going through IT. When things were burning and IT was begrudgingly brought in to fix things they weren't predisposed to be kind.

It's not just making the programming easier, it's making the problem actually possible. We have a much higher tolerance for fatal accidents with human drivers than we ever will with automated ones. So if you have an environment wh

by pedrocr 7y ago
My whole point is that if you make the environment more predictable you make the problem easier, not that the only thing you need to do is that. You seem to be attacking a strawman where somehow the whole environment is tailored towards sel

The rule already exists but is not enforced. If tickets were issued for not following it in the cases where the rule is ignored at low speed routinely it would be less likely to happen at high speed with risk of life. All the infrastructure

I personally don't think enforcing rules around roundabouts so I don't have the near-death experience I had the other day "a road to China". I actually love driving myself and don't particularly care about self-driv

by pedrocr 7y ago
What I'm saying is that it helps, not that it's a silver bullet. But we seem to be stuck in a mindset that self-driving needs to be perfect within the current practice on the road. The more I drive the more it's obvious how h

by pedrocr 7y ago
My point is humans are already behaving extremely poorly as drivers and that already causes accidents. There are ways to help that be less of an issue that also helps self-driving become possible. But instead we accept those ridiculous risk

Thanks. I went to the AV1 page but didn't notice that section. Seems promising, with implementations already cropping up.

by pedrocr 7y ago
Seems like the same strategy starting with AV1 would be a good solution.

All I've seen says otherwise. The X1 is more expensive and has a more premium construction. The T4x0s approximates it in some specs and form-factor but is still behind on both. The T4x0s seems positioned so that enterprises can distrib

by pedrocr 7y ago
The flagship is the X1. The T4x0s is the budget version of the same form factor.

If you already have a spare disk installed doesn't it make more sense to just add it to pool anyway and just bump up the redundancy to Z2 or Z3?

Break even applies to the crossover point between any two options. You can break-even between renting or buying a house at some point even though you are even between two options that cost you money.
