A W/h either is a big problem or will be soon.

Agreed. I’d happily settle for 1GB/s, maybe even less, if I could get the random seek times, power usage, durability, and density of SSDs without paying through the nose.

which flash memory kinda sucks at.

Au contraire, flash is amazing at random R/W compared to all previous non-volatile technologies. The fastest hard drives can do what, 4MB/s with 4k sectors, assuming a quarter rotation per random seek? And that’s still fantastic compared to optical media, which in turn is way better than tape.

Obviously, volatile memory like SDRAM puts it to shame, but I’m a pretty big fan of being able to reboot.

15 GB/s is about on par with DDR3-1866. High-end DDR5 caa do well over triple that.

And that’s not to mention the latency, which is the real point of RAM.

Kissinger got a Nobel Peace Prize for napalming infants. I wouldn’t put it past them to give Altman one for using more electricity than most countries on glorified autocomplete.

If you’re buying on credit it by defintion means you can’t afford it and thus shouldn’t buy it.

Buying it on credit doesn’t mean that that’s the only way you could buy it. I buy everything on credit, and I’ve paid about $50 total in interest in 10 years of doing so, a number far outweighed by the hundreds of dollars of rewards I’ve redeemed.

Now, obviously the bank wouldn’t let me do this if not for the fact that people as a whole pay more in interest than they redeem in rewards, but that doesn’t mean that any given individual does.

He got snippy about someone PRing gender-neutral language, calling it “politically motivated.” His explanation was that they hadn’t sent previous PRs, which seems like a stupid reason to reject that one; some people are better with language than they are at code, so they’re more helpful fixing comments than fixing bugs.

That said, trans people were never mentioned, and the fight for gender-neutral language long predates any significant public awareness of trans people; also, “meltdown” seems like an exaggeration. He was somewhat rude, but not completely unhinged.

No-one seems to be long-term greedy anymore.

The CCP seems to factor this into at least some of their decisions. Their infrastructure projects (like any infrastructure projects) take years, sometimes decades, to pay off, but boy howdy do they pay off.

They keep getting new photos, so she might be in on it.

Israel is an even stranger member of the post than Taiwan IMO.

The average person can’t use Mac or Windows efficiently either lol

Unless you’re poor enough to be on welfare. The Welfare Cliff is awful.

Yeah, the Welfare Cliff is the only place where this happens and it’s unconscionable.

Communism threatens capital. Fascism mostly does not.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is better than Hamlet. Sure, it had the benefit of an extra couple of centuries of progress in art, but I think it still counts.

Now there’s one agency I’m OK with Elmo burning to the ground. Maybe we can get him into the DoD and DHS next.

The camera crew walked out over gun safety. I’m not seeing anything about the armorer yet, so I may have misremembered.

Too late for that, I suspect.

But most importantly, don’t hire scabs. The union armorer staff walked off the set of Rust due to repeated safety violations. Instead of fixing the issues, management hired unqualified scabs and continued.
