Makes sense, considering DDR4 has only gone up 2x.
Though now I need to but the motherboard sooner than later, lest there be no good stock by the time I get to it.

So, you’d take a break?

even Hitler banned it

That’s kinda interesting.
What reasoning did that govt. have?

Add a compile flag!

Well, the server ECC variant is still pretty useful for desktop workloads. Just make sure AMD always supports it in the next generations. If it’s still a DIMM, then it can be sold right away.

GDDR7, again, if the chip has the required pins as in GPUs, then GPU manufacturers can simply buy them, test them for a few hours maybe, and pop them in their lineups with a bit of re-calculation of traces (in case the exact pinout differs). Of course you get some re-soldering damage, but there’s not much you can do about it. On the other hand, if the GDDR7 is in GPUs already, most the companies would require is to alter the firmwares a bit and sell refurbished units.

HBM2. Seems like it is possible to get slottable modules with HBM2. Pretty sure some industrious people in China will find a good use for them. Perhaps with RISC V processors?
And the AI specialised units shouldn’t be fully useless either. Remember the cancer studies case?
It is still useful computing ability that can be used well by those who know how.

Maybe they just realised in time about the upcoming RAM price hike and setup both to each other, so that either one becomes an excuse for the other.

Are they using the same ICs in the AI modules as they are in DIMMs?

If yes, then we can still hope for some level of a 2nd hand market, which may at least manage to be lower than the max at that point.

The abbreviation sounds like some kind of exotic Surface to Air Missile lol

It does.
Somehow acronyms just end up sounding cool. Guess we should just use the full form. That would be better.

The chair is probably just expecting UK to forget the game theory.

No need to unionise when you have the power to make a startup.

But then first you need the power and ability to make a startup.

So my browser’s reader theme is at black background (#000) with white text (#fff) and I just reduce the backlight at night, while keeping the windows open in the day time.

Similarly, I reduce mobile brightness indoors, but keep it at full, when using maps while riding.

When using an LCD monitor, it is beneficial to be able to reduce backlight brightness instead of reducing the colour value in software.

Information can be imparted.
Understanding needs to be created within.

Might as well get rid of the farms.
Perhaps use them for reforestation and stuff.
Maybe even start some new plant-based industry.

Tobacco no longer gets rid of mosquitoes. Its benefits are either long gone or didn’t exist in the first place.

We are the fuel it lives on.

I thought you could stuff anything into a bun shaped piece of bread and call it a burger.

That’s only going to affect me if I am reading something particularly boring and don’t really want to read it.
But if that were the case, I wouldn’t be reading it in the first place.

I don’t feel the need to rid myself of distractions, because when I am not in the mood to read a book, I don’t read it.

Also, this “distracted by functionality” logic is what parents seem to use to get rid of stuff with a screen.
I can say for sure, that people being loud in another room is a much bigger distraction.
If your OS is distracting you, you have installed the wrong one.

I really like being able to Ctrl+F through my book.
But there just seems to be some kind of feel to flipping a page that makes me feel more focussed.

Yeh, then it would be teleportation costs.

Because then it won’t be creamed.

Well, I can buy a GPS map device. Cash payments are not much of a problem until the Govt. starts adding that extra tax on cash withdrawal from ATMs. I will need to wait for companies to grow a brain and stop using WhatsApp for work.

For all else, I use my computer anyway.
