Maybe, but for today, er 6 days ago: Public hearing set for nearly 650 diesel generators tied to Amazon data center.

Sure. But is your DC funded by AI insanity that will pay top $ to provision ASAP, which requires 100s (up to 800) turbines?

Quick google on stuff from the last week: 2 days ago, Inside the Secretive Deal for a $10 Billion Data Center in ... 21 buildings and roughly 600 diesel generators" 6 days ago "Pub…

What do you call it when they install 100s of generators outside the building to provide power, create an amazing amount of noise, and a fair bit of pollution, while they claim the…

Sounds like an issue with hardware. I watch ECC errors for 2500 servers and see a few some days, and zero others. Said servers at an elevation of 6,000 feet or so. A few per day fo…

Sort of, often there's workstation chips, like the xeon E3, which is a warmed over desktop chip ... with ECC. Price difference when I bought was $20 CHEAPER for the CPU (at the cos…

C, for better or worse, is like a high level assembly language. You can do anything, which pretty much means you are going to have many security and correctness issues. Double free…

AM5 is the AMD standard, it's accurate, seems rather pedantic to differentiate between 2 sub channels per dimm and saying 4 32 bit channels for a total of 128 bit. However the moth…

In computer manufacture speak dual channel = 2 x 64 bit = 128 bits wide. So with 2 dimms or 4 you still get 128 bit wide memory. With DDR4 that means 2 channels x 64 bit each. With…

I think there's a standard wiring for the dimm and some parts are shared. Each normal ddr5 dimm has 2 sub channels that are 32 bits each, and the new specification for the HUDIMM w…

Sadly motherboards, tech journalist, and many other places confuse the difference between a dimm and channel. The trick is the DDR4 generation they were the same, 64 bits wide. How…

> Quad-channel RAM is common on consumer desktops Yes, but tablets, laptops, and normal (non-HEDT) desktops have 4 channels, 4x32 bit = 128 bit wide. Modern memory with DDR5 allows…

As you dig deeper I think you'll find a method behind the madness. Sure modules just play with env variables. But it's easy to inspect (module show), easy to document "use modules …

All. Keep in mind strix != strix halo. You can get tablets, laptops, and desktops. I think windows is more limited and might require static allocation of video memory, not because …

> You won't like it, but the answer is Apple. Or strix halo. Seems rather over simplified. The different levels of quants, for Qwen3.6 it's 10GB to 38.5GB. Qwen supports a context …

Any chance of turning this into a server/client with an API so people could use the language of their choice?

Along similar lines, the double-slit experiment, seems simple. Two slits let light though and you get bands where they constructively or destructively interfere, just like waves. H…

Sure, if you are smart enough. Maybe mount a small transmitter on a tree then use a directional antenna at a very low power and use the tree as a repeater. Or use NVIS, which at le…

Not that I have to tell this crowd. Tuxpaint is free, get it from tuxpaint.org, do not buy it, do not download it as part of a "desktop". I was talking to the author, apparently it…

I set up my kid, I think she was 3 or so, she started out with stamps of butterflies and the like. After awhile she looked at her hand, then mouse, then me, stared at me and said "…

Keep in mind the desktop env knows when you are left clicking a link or middle clicking. So on linux, usually it's left click to go to a link or middle click to open link in a new …

In theory I'd agree as well. In reality such features are often dropped, no settings in gnome-settings, and non default features are not tested in new builds. So you end up googlin…

Similarly gnome-terminal used to have "new terminal" as the first option in the menu of a terminal. Then it got moved down to 6th item, then in the newer versions removed completel…

Sure. But it's a depreciation and there's numerous similar settings that are only available by tweaking settings manually or using gnome-tweaks. Right now nearly every linux app su…
