"hey siri, what are pin speeds?"

I love bringing up Pokemon as a humbling example of how AI progress is counterintuitive. Naively we might see games like Go, Chess, StarCraft, and Dota as more "complex," yet current approaches still tend to fail here, a game we would expect an early-grade school child to have no problem completing because of how incredibly sparse the reward function is. I hope that one day we'll get a satisfying tabula rasa solution to narrative-based/world model games like Pokemon rather than something like "well it turns out a GPT ingested a gameplay walkthrough during training and can regurgitate that as gameplay inputs womp womp."

AMD has been doing this with Zen/EPYC since 2017, and I'm not sure they were the first

Was it a salvage title car? A year ago a clean title FRS with 100k miles would still easily pull $10k at auction, so you got a heck of a deal if it didn't come with major defects.

What is a bit concerning is the speculation that the flight continued to the intended destination in an effort to avoid having the incident captured by cockpit voice recorder (which apparently only have a recording window of 2 hours???!?).

It gets exhausting seeing the same NIMBY talking points trotted around every once in a while. I guess the "new developments are just luxury housing" talking points have started to smell so we're back to the good old "character of the neighborhood."

Taking a look at the "character of the neighborhood" in South Bay and I couldn't be more thrilled that developers are putting up inoffensive boxes rather than some rehash of "Spanish/Mediterranean revival" that seemed to dominate circa 2000-2015. I have a little more hope that these "bland boxes" won't look garishly outdated in a generation. And that's neglecting the irony entirely of "European" styling applied to single family sprawl.

EDIT: Spoke too soon, "For many people, 5-over-1s have come to symbolize the most painful aspects of today’s housing crisis — stand-ins for gentrification, corporate landlords and excessively high rents." Do better, NYT.

"now ain't that some shit"

I was recently in a similar boat, as the combination of discord + twitch was really making my 11 year old i5-2520M-based T420 really show its age (WHY IS A DESKTOP CHAT CLIENT AN ELECTRON APP??!??!) even with 16 GiB RAM in Arch Linux. I settled on a 16GB X13 Gen 2 from the outlet store (which seemed like a deal at ~520 USD). Coincidentally that's where I bought the T420 in 2011. The outlet store seems like a good way to snag a bargain for Linux users if you have a bit of patience as I would be looking at a last-gen model anyway (which seems to be primarily what the store stocks) for better compatibility.

I'm genuinely curious of the details of how the 1.5v vCore measurement was obtained. CPU-Z and software measurements in general don't have the greatest reputation of being accurate, especially with just-released generations of CPUs. Conventional wisdom has been with newer manufacturing processes, less voltage is required (and tolerated), and 1.5v vCore sounds truly insane in 2022 for a "4nm" chip. For reference, I haven't heard of 1.5v being a safe "24/7" voltage since the days of 90nm-130nm+ CPUs circa 2005-2006. IIRC casual overclockers in the forums weren't really comfortable with 1.5v even with 65nm Core 2, and this was back when it was common to e.g., safely overclock your 2.4 GHz Core 2 Quad to 3.4 GHz.
