Impressed that an 8350 lasted you that long at a reasonable performance level. An R5 1600 for $79 is definitely an awesome deal; mine still crushes pretty much any work I throw at it.

Hah! I almost bought that board, but ended up going with another for built-in wifi. Asrock has been a really solid brand for me.

Seems plausible. The build my R5 1600 is in has a reasonably high-end Asrock X370 mobo. Is your setup similar?

I’m not sure if I’m some weird exception, but I’ve never had issues running Linux at long uptimes on my R5 1600 box.

I find it interesting that he mentions gravitons as a definite piece of particle physics, on the same order as photons, etc. I was under the impression that gravitons were simply one part of one possible conception of quantum gravity, and t

Was Apple mentioned somewhere in the slide deck that Anandtech has as the second part of the article? Or was it in a video version of the presentation? Super interested by what you're saying here.

If I remember correctly, it was cell phone video taken by someone in the control room at the time of the test.

According to space Twitter, yes, that is correct. Atlas and Centaur both performed nominally. Edit: looks like Tory Bruno (ULA CEO) has confirmed that Atlas and Centaur performed well [0] [0] https://twitter.com/planet4589&#

Wow. I just watched that one and his toilet paper moonshine video. I can’t believe he’s doing all of this in a home lab!

There was definitely a huge amount of controversy over this after the first Starlink launch. If I'm remembering correctly, the problems got significantly better after the satellites moved to their final orbits and oriented their sola

After the first Starlink launch, Musk made a number of comments about being willing to experiment with launching some telescope-equipped Starlink sats since they expect the per-sat costs to be so low. If you had dozens to hundreds up there,

The ones that flew today were fished out of the water after the Arabsat-6A mission. The two that they've caught with the boats were from STP-2 and Amos-17. Apparently they're going to attempt to go fish these ones out, too, since

AMD seems to be doing very well with their non-monolithic CCX setup for Zen, especially now that Zen 2 has fixed up some of the earlier issues with inter-core and inter-CCX communication. Intel has definitely had plenty of time to refine th

I think it's more about the principle of the thing. It's definitely a bad thing to have satellites up there that no one knows are there (because of collision risks, etc.), and the US not registering theirs opens the door for other

It'll definitely be interesting to see if they do. If I remember correctly, there were some articles with recent Xeon chips about how their monolithic design was hurting them pretty badly on yields.

Back in 2016-17, around Skylake/Kaby Lake, I remember getting all excited with some friends about the prospect of Intel 10nm, which they were saying would be used for their immediately upcoming series of chips. Now that it's 2019

I mean, it seems like any drone cheap enough to be expendable by the millions would probably be lacking enough in range as to need a carrier/mothership of some sort.

Interesting. I'm kinda down on Artemis overall, as it seems like the whole thing is getting bogged down in political maneuvering, as usual. NASA keeps saying it's more than boots on the ground, but all the plans they announce seem
