For gaming and desktop use AMD is great, though for raytracing you'll need newer cards. If you want to run local AI models too then AMD is quite shaky, rocm only supports a few cards with each version and their software stack just isn&

There are plenty of AIs that are immune to this because they're trained on something that won't be flooded with slop. E.g. robotics, self-driving cars (both trained on real camera/sensor inputs) or programming/proof-assi

fail-closed protocols have introduced some brittleness. A HTTP 1.0 server from 1999 probably still can service visitors today. A HTTPS/TLS 1.0 server from the same year wouldn't.

Storing renewables for a whole season is an unsolved problem at the moment. Countries at higher latitudes might want fusion for baseload generation during winter. And later it'll help with climbing the Kardashev scale.

We're nowhere near physical heat transfer limits. CNTs and monoisotopic diamond perform much better than silver. The latter can even be used as substrate.

No, within the same DC network latency does not add that much. After all EFS also manages 600µs average latency. It's really just S3 that's slow. I assume some large fraction of S3 is spread over HDDs, not SSDs.

NVMe read latency is in the 10-100µs range for 128kB blocks. S3 is about 100ms. That's 3-4 OOMs. The threshold where the total read duration starts to dominate latency would be somewhere in the dozens to hundreds of megabytes, not kilo

> Large reads (>128kB) get directly streamed from the underlying S3 bucket, which is free. Always uncached? S3 has pretty bad latency.

Logins are session-based. You could tie publishing of a package to a signature from the key, then 1 tap = 1 package hash. But yeah, if the system is compromised and the attacker is doing interactive attacks they can wait for something that

Distros have mirrors and they don't know which one you use. The updaters don't send user IDs and downloading the package lists is separate from downloading the packages. So targeted backdoor distrubution is much harder than a comp

Shallow color gradients (e.g. blue sky or anime) result in visible banding on 8bpc displays, which is a large fraction of displays. Ordered dithering is GPU-friendly, so it's useful to reduce higher-bpc content to those display formats

Most of the pixels don't change every second though. Compositors do have damage tracking APIs, so you only need to render that which changed. Scrolling can be mostly offset transforms (browsers do that, they'd be unbearably slow o

I assume that "a folder full of avif files" was referring to thumbnailing, that's more of a bulk operation than latency-sensitive.

AVIF uses AV1 as the codec, so I assume the hardware units used to accelerate video decoding should work for images too, at least when it matches the profiles supported by the hardware.
