Seems pretty simple to me. Keep in mind it's not analyzing things to see where the error is (address line, I/O pin, which chip, etc). It's just a simple track errors per dimm, then remove the dimm. This works with Linux an

Not going to agree on that one, the message was generally Nvidia is screwing gamers, but ANYTHING else. Much like the general news of AMD server chips, tons of press on Intel's shrinking Xeon marketshare. Sure people are talking about

What had me worried is that the 4080 12GB has a 192 bit wide memory interface, same width as the RTX 3060 and less than the RTX 3060 Ti. Sure they worked on the caches to improve performance, but I always worries that some games will do poo

Heh, for some things. Tons of reviews saying $900 for the 4080 12GB is insane. The 4080 12GB is after all a 3060 update with 192 bit wide memory interface. Even the 3060 Ti has a 256 bit wide memory interface. Definitely had me decide to

Indeed, apparently Nvidia misjudged the GPU forecast and the crash of crypto mining on GPUs and ended up with a ton of stock. Apparently AMD was more accurate, so here's hoping AMD beats Nvidia to the punch at the $300, $400, and $600

Yup, doubling the memory bandwidth, doubling the memory channels, and doubling the PCIe bandwidth, and switching to DDR5 is placing a premium on the new AM5 platform for AMD. Similar happened with the Alder lake launch, which had the same

1. Each one tracks it's nearest neighbors, which should have approximately zero differential velocity. A few gyroscopes or actuators to change the mirrors angles should give you plenty of thrust for controlling orbits. Inevitably pro

Exact? I've been hearing launch times in the minutes to hours before the probe is too far away to accelerate it enough to be worth while. The problem is lasers (on those scales) spread quickly so an ever smaller (even with perfect aim

Voyager 1 uses 22 watts and 1970s technology to communicate from 21 light hours away. Radio encoding has come a long way since then. In particular ft8/js8call uses an encoding that can communicate at over 20 db below the noise floor,

Would some be lost, likely. Would all have some holes in the large sails, sure. But some on board redundancy should let a decent fraction of them to survive. Keep in mind the lasers will boost the velocity for just minutes to hours, so yo

This isn't new, there's been many discussions. But generally you spend billions making lasers, on the ground, in orbit, and on the moon has been suggested. You make the space craft with a sail a few atom thick surface tuned for

I have a pixel 6 pro, and it does look like I can't wash out the brightest. However on a grey scale test image I can lose the bottom 1/3rd of the range by going too dark. Maybe the brightness cap is to save battery.
913.
by sliken 4y ago
Assuming a perfect screen, yes. But at some point the brightest pixels on the screen will get no brighter, but all the other pixels will. So the dynamic range decreases. Similar happens when dim enough.

Those CPU cores are pretty lame compared to the Apple M1. It does however have more than a 128 bit wide memory interface, which is very rare. I can only think of the M1 pro (256 bit), m1 max (512 bit), and m1 ultra (1024 bit) that have wid

Well the storage was crazy efficient, I kept checking to make sure it was recording what I thought it was. No way 50M hits could fit in a file that small... Timestamps, especially north of 1000 hits/sec have many bits in common. URL,

Sad, especially when Ryzen chips have dual 10G support in the silicon, but only enables in on some products in the name of product differentiation. Dual 10G cards are generally still pretty expensive, and motherboards with dual 10G are oft

Kinda cool, but if you want radon levels why not buy a radon detector? Like this one: https://www.airthings.com/wave-plus No need to try to find and calibrate some used Russian geiger counter.

Right, but they charge, which connects to your identity just like a sim does.

Just have a crawl space instead of a house directly on a slab.

And somehow the extra 8 feet of dirt magically protects you from radon?

Well there are alternatives to signal. Some use p2p, some use tor, some use a federated system of servers. None have the networking effect to be as secure and as popular as signal. So if signal was privacy preserving, didn't show or

Well signal is designed for secure communications for most people. Not designed for anonymous communication. So a key piece of that is easy to use, nice on boarding process, and being useful to new users in that first minute or two. So t

How else are people supposed to know that they could send a secure signal message instead of an insecure SMS. I guess people could call this a growth hack, but without this kind of thing it's likely the number of signal users would be

So you generate a handle, maybe even a key pair and upload the public half to a server. Then someone you know joins next week and does the same. How do you find each other? If it's feasible for an end user, say 30 seconds of a phone&#

by sliken 4y ago
Sounds good, and it could help fund signal without getting advertisers involved. So you pay $5 on a credit card, which connects you to said handle, much like buying a SIM. How is that any better? Someone in your social network joins signal

Same here. I do sometimes click a link, and it crashes or restarts. But then my full history is there, and new messages come in. Only have to relink when I buy a new phone.

"easily replaced by other methods" ... like what? How would this other method make it hard/expensive/infeasible for a malicious company to produce 100M accounts to cause problems with spamming, DoS, and related issues?

Can't reply to your reply, it's too deeply nested. Even better than a VPS with multiple services is (IMO) a container per service. So you get a nice clear single function container, but don't have to pay the memory and perfo

Generally I try to avoid VPSs. They are long lived, it's easy to accumulate undocumented state, and have substantial memory, disk I/O, and network I/O overhead. You may end up with a years old VPS with many changes over the
