Some of the decision makers think they are *this* close to building a God and making Him their slave, basically, so all normal cost/benefit analyses have been replaced by dreams of the Silicon Rapture. Yes, that's too dumb to possibly be true, but also yes it's true.

The Hater's Guide To NVIDIA This piece has a generous 3000+ word introduction, because I want as many people to understand NVIDIA as possible. The (thousands of) words after the premium break get into arduous detail, but I’ve wr...

How Google Maps determines restaurant survival. This brilliantly unearths the political economy of the algorithm here.

"You start seeing an algorithmic market - one where visibility compounds, demand snowballs, and who gets to survive is increasingly decided by code."

Yep! Afaict Scorptec gave me the right bits. The guy at their click and collect seemed like disinterested teenager, well ok 😆

Me too! … I’ll send a pic when it’s wrapped and under the tree 🎄

Is there a record for the lowest rank of preferences that have ever been required to find a winner in an Australian election?

Like say, have the 5th or 6th or 7th or 8th preferences ever decided a result? Paging @drdrehistorian.bsky.social

Subway hell greeter

Here is what I ended up with, 2x16 GB Kingston memory, please have a look 🫣

I would often fill up the memory on my Dell laptop and that had 32 GB so I thought 16 GB total might be just not much ... bust the bank but Afterpay 🫣

I HAVE to go back to this show …

With Girlguides and the WI announcing that the new laws are forcing them to exclude trans girls and women, it seems like a good time for any cis women who haven't signed Not In Our Name yet to do so. Stand with our sisters.

I swapped in this 1x16 GB (not white/RGB) will this work fine?

Its clock speed is slightly slower and then there are CL timings and wtf idk 😭

I hope it's enough for good games (one at a time). I hope I can find a reasonable twin for it later 😬

Do the DDR5 ram sticks have to be pairs? I wondered if it could be 1 x 16 GB and add more later

but apparently that's not a thing (or at least not from Scorptec)

Blancolirio as ever has deets

Sounds like the software parts of the “hardening” were mistakenly removed in an update and .. seems no one noticed until this incident ??

You’d really hope that software would be reviewed as all hell, and yet 😬

So you are betting on prices going up further from here? Just wondering if Christmas demand is a factor and waiting till Boxing Day is cheaper?

Maybe retail demand has f all to do with these prices, idk

This is AMAZING thankyou

Bluesky user interface. Why should this post be reviewed? Misleading Spam or other inauthentic behavior or deception Adult content Unlabeled, abusive, or non-consensual adult content

That would be so awesome thankyou 🙏

Keep the purdy case please, she will like that. We can stretch a little above that limit if must

Thanks so much

I am thinking fuck it and get the cart as is. We should get years of use out of it, I think. 💳

Who would you buy from? Is it better to go for a single supplier or nah?

Tweet from sudox “With the increase in RAM prices, this is how you impress the ladies...” with a meme of two femmes gossiping “I HEAR HE HAS… 128GB OF DDR5 RAM”

Thanks!

I just saw this on the hellsite, so thanks for the context!

anyway I am happy that gz worked great for your use case!

It is a million years old and the context window is tiny

Somewhere around 2020 I got schooled on this.

I had some multi-gig dataset

gzip: traditional 2:1 or so
zstd: I think it was >100:1, AND it was so fast I suspected it was broken 😅

I reject your reality and substitute my own 💋💋💋💋
