I really think the fact that China controls the vast majority of the rare earths is grossly understated when discussing the explosion of electric vehicles there. The US recently discovered a huge volcanic lithium deposit, but I suspect that there’s a lot of gallium going into the Chinese batteries that the US just doesn’t have access to.

Yeah, all this has me missing my Vega 64

Do you somehow not? Open source projects have been running out of resources because they’re overwhelmed with bogus bug reports filed by AI.

That even though the team is using AI to check for vulnerabilities, they’re trained and know when their AI is hallucinating and when it’s not.

That’s…exactly my point though…

And is leadership in golfing better?

No, Mark hates golf as far as I know. He’s a big fan of BJJ though.

I’ll bet Claude Code would be happy to help you fix it 😁

Disaster Recovery. Like a backup, but also includes a way to rebuild all the infrastructure surrounding it as well.

Yeah, and to do that without some sort of DR in place is peak hubris.

Yeah I’m actually kinda into this. Even if the AI vomits up a bunch of hallucinated vulnerabilities, there’s a team of (presumably) capable people there to figure that out. Seems like a pretty valid use for the technology.

Because it’s nervous and under a lot of pressure. Go easy on it.

Adding more batteries increases the weight, though, which in turn makes the motors work harder, and therefore makes them use more energy to do the same thing.

One of the recent updates improved the performance of large barnyards, IIRC. I’ve had little trouble running it on an i5 1340p with probably a hundred or so ducks.

Both Grounded games are listed as Gold on ProtonDB, just FYI

Edit: Oh, I see. No crossplay. Well that sucks.

Way back in 2007, my one college buddy had an elderly Thinkpad that he’d spraypainted red and stuck an Apple sticker on. People constantly came up to him and asked him where he got the red Macbook, since they didn’t think Apple made them.

slow menu

Dude of all the things I hate about modern tech, I think the most obnoxious one is that it STILL takes multiple seconds for a simple text-based menu to load. On my one TV, sometimes it takes so long to load that I actually forget that I’ve opened it and am annoyed when it finally shows up. Gotta save all that precious compute power to load ads and shit, I guess.

So it’s an init system?

You’re not my real dad.

Well shit. I’ve been going off the now long-outdated memory, pun partially intended, of HBM2e being positioned as a potential replacement for DDR. Maybe we’ll see more manufacturers doing something like Apple and jamming the RAM into the CPU die directly. That seems to be working out well for them so far, at least performance-wise.

Fingers crossed that we might see HBM as system RAM finally.
