I think Disney is nicer in other countries these days. Could still make a good trip elsewhere.

So doing the clinical trial publicly for the rest of us…
I’ve got a terabyte of DDR4, and a bunch of old thread rippers. They can take 256 each and 8 channel.
Hardware requirements? I think I can hit the memory bandwidth building from parts I have in my house. Maybe even 2x. Asking for fun not profit.
Sadly I don’t think French fries have the same effect.
Psilocybin has always made me not want to drink for extended periods of time after use. Always saw that as a great benefit.
We already have more % population in jail than any other country. Mostly for drugs. The social cost is much less for getting in trouble for drugs in the US, but the incarceration rate is really high.
I want to replace my 5950x, but that’s a huge TDP jump. Be interesting to see how well it down clocks.
Re:Fake Job Interviews Are Securities Fraud on Tuesday July 30, 2024 @11:36PM (#41116203)
Also tons of places that interview then say they don’t have a slot.

Seems too easy to be abused.

Wow that is great. I’ve been told that was impossible by several cards and ended up reissuing.
I’m looking for an ultrasonic cleaner. Did you settle on a brand or model?
Every time I leave the US for over a few weeks and come home it’s super notable and frankly disgusting.
Re:Gamers Nexus: Asus Scammed Us [video] on Monday May 13, 2024 @03:21PM (#40347209)
I’ve been all asrock and asus for a long time. Asrock had been the better value for me for awhile now. Think I started using them for the original threadrippers. Been happy.

There is someone renting a room around Mount Fuji on AirBNB that advertises themselves as a systems engineer with fiber in the middle of the woods. Sounded like a great place to work to me!
Cyber crime definitely exists without incompetence.

Defense is a costly vast landscape compared to attacking. Sure incompetence causes issues and major drives my blood pressure, but the problem doesn’t go away if incompetence goes away.

Same boat. Wonder if we can reclassify in any more beneficial way. Perhaps they should create something.

This hits home. I wish I knew the company now.
Re:Nvidia RTX 5000 Ada 32GB Workstation GPU Review on Tuesday January 02, 2024 @01:30PM (#38845055)
Only reason I still have a nvidia card is the VR issues. Unless it’s been fixed recently they can’t compete in high end VR.
Looks like a good way to lose a weekend.
Critical.

I’d like my data to stay local.

I probably don’t need cloud processing for any regular usage.

The privacy to life benefit equation is broken in society atm.

This will change.

I struggle with this as well and decided the only thing I can control is wake up, so I stretch those into 45-90 minute periods using increasing music volume to wake up.

Having a time period to wake up makes it more likely I fall asleep in a predictable time period. Going to sleep at X to wake up at Y is all fail for me.

That dual audio feature is why I own one.

You can stay in this area for good rates in off season. I walked less than 2 blocks to the tree with great Airbnb hosts 2 times last year. Walking distance to lots of other things too. I walked pretty close to aki from there without thinking about it wondering over a 1/4 day.
Exactly. I’ve got a stack for X16s in FreeNAS fronted with tons of NVMe. Prices are good for building a high perf home SAN.

Power usage.. we just won’t measure that part…

I’ve been sitting on Gen1/2 waiting for more non pro as well. We needed it this gen else I’d have to go Ryzen for lab updates.

Teamlabs is worth checking out.
Detroit downtown is nice, the Lions win games, what alternate reality is this?

Turning red is accurate /verified.

The only place I’ve personally witnessed wide spread mass transit use for youth in school is Japan. Totally normal and feels safe.

I was a student at a boarding school in the 90s that left WinPopup installed. I quickly found it and taught the whole campus. They tried to remove it but we had backups by that point. Then we found the teacher access internet proxy which had none of the student restrictions and shared it with everyone via WinPopup… I told the staff when I graduated.
Like we make that choice. Drawn in with sex and sent to die for transistors seems Pretty accurate if you look at past utilization for resources.
