That's my understanding, yes. All my knowledge is from random Reddit threads however. Since I was scared off 128 GB by all those complaints, I built a 7950X system with 2*32GB memory, and it runs well/stable at its rated 6000 MT&

Keep in mind that 128 GB barely works on AM5 (basically, EXPO/XMP doesn't, only regular JEDEC speeds, i.e. 4800 MT/s) [1] 2 sticks of RAM up to 64 GB is the fully functional maximum. [1] https://old.reddit.com&#x2

Humans can explain rational thought, sure, but not subconscious or acting on impulse. When you say something you shouldn't have said, how do you explain the thought process that led you to saying it? Were you an unconscious actor whe

totw/110 was about safely initializing global and static objects. IIUC there was something missing in the open sourced version of Abseil so that it could not be published verbatim.

Much more likely plan: sea and air blockade, starve them until they make significant concessions. US will not get involved, not a direct act of war. Wait for a more amenable government to get elected, who may be just willing to discuss so

Simple: GPU manufacturers would much rather sell you a flagship at $1000+ than multiple basic cards at $150. Duopoly in the market and no competition, why would they reduce their margins?
