It is, but those late model CRTs often had a lot of digital circuitry that displayed a solid color on channels with nothing on them. Unless there was a much older CRT around, they never would have seen it.

There are issues that come up in niche cases. If you’re using git bisect to track down a bug, a non-working commit can throw that off.

There’s some that have coloration to them to show when they’re used up. Those can be toxic.

Yeah, I think that’s the best that can be done right now.

It also leads to a different question: do we really need these fancy systems, or do we need a bunch of bash scripts with a cronjob or monitors to trigger the build?

Anybody who thinks running Windows is easier hasn’t tried to get Tensorflow working on Windows with GPU support.

In theory, it could run on a straight Windows build of Python, but nobody seems to have given that serious consideration. It must go through WSL, but that means passing through the GPU to WSL. When you Google how to do it, you’ll find three different approaches that have been taken over the years, only one of which is valid on modern setups. If you take one of the old approaches, you will likely twist your system in knots and need a complete reinstall to fix.

On Linux, you install the GPU drivers, compile Tensorflow with the GPU flags, and you’re done.

Normally, you don’t want to commit code unless it’s been at least minimally tested, and preferably more than that.

All the CI’s, however, force a workflow where you can only test it by committing the code and seeing if it works. I’m not sure how to fix that, but I see the problem.

I have a wooden bowl kinda like this, but I also inherited it. It’s kinda nice. Has care instructions somewhat similar to cast iron. Get everything off of it and cover it in oil.

They will be manufactured elsewhere. Namely, places like Cambodia, Vietnam, and Mexico. Those factory jobs aren’t coming to the US.

Thems the rules. The rules we made up so we could demonize people and pretend it’s not racism.

The iPod was discontinued in 2022. I’m guessing there’s already a lot of kids who have no idea where the term “podcast” comes from.

The Famicom Disk System, which uses a kind of floppy disk for the Japanese market NES, had kiosks where you could copy games onto disks. The last of those kiosks were removed in 2003 It overlapped the Game Cube.

There must be a point where people get old enough that you figure out how to deflect problems indefinitely by acting like they don’t exist. Not just old women, either, I’ve seen old men do it by somewhat different means. They obviously know there’s a problem, but decide to ignore it.

I’ve been here since Windows 3.0. I’m not sure when this mythical not-shit Windows was. There were a few I could live with, but none that were good.

Since randomizing the list increases entropy, it could theoretically make your cpu cooler just before it destroys the universe.

You still have to check that it’s sorted, which is O(n).

We’ll also assume that destroying the universe takes constant time.

It’s not just performance, though. It’s also trust. If performance per watt was all that mattered, AMD would have cornered the server market years ago. Intel held on because they were considered rock solid stable–very important in a server. That trust was completely broken by the recent instability issues.

To everyone saying they’ve never seen this happen, but the opposite happens all the time, I’d like you to try something. Show this comic to a woman in your life and ask if they’ve ever felt this way. Just try it, and listen more than you talk.

It’ll be a step up from the 7800x3d, but how much is a question. The 9000 series in general has been a disappointment in terms of the gains that were expected, but it does show some kind of gain. There’s reason to think those issues are fixable. Linux performance does show a decent uplift, for one, which has not been the case with Intel’s Arrow Lake chips.
