Comment And if LPCAMM2 is too slow, use it as a swap file (Score 1) 73

And before you complain about LPCAMM2 being much slower than the high-bandwidth RAM on the CPU package: It's perfectly fine to design a system with a non-uniform memory access paradigm, treating the memory behind the LPCAMM2 interface as a RAM disk. That way you have 8 GB of high-bandwidth DRAM swapping to 16+ GB of somewhat lower-bandwidth DRAM, and the soldered-in SSD lasts longer because it doesn't have to (ab)use its intake buffer to hold the swap file.

Also I would point out that there's nothing socialist about modern American fascism, considering that there's very little flirtation with collective ownership of the means of production going on (other than Sam Altman getting Trump to consider having the US government buy the gigantic economic black-hole-bomb he's built), but they do enact deals that look a good bit like socialism for corporations the regime favors...

The vast majority of voters in any party want the opposite of that but are told to vote for "the lesser of two evils" which admits to an inherently evil system.

This is only possible because the US has first-past-the-post elections, a clunky and primitive voting method that can enable this situation. Moving to more advanced voting methods like ranked choice or STAR voting prevents a two-party stranglehold from forming.

I'm a little surprised no one has tried to bring Manifest v2 back in a Chromium fork. It's supposedly open source after all. If it's too complicated to do practically, then really what's the point in Chromium being open source at all.

I always wonder though what recruiters and HR folks think when all their applicants all seem to fall well short of their requirements/

His hand written "artisan" code is being turned into machine code by a computer anyway.

A compiler is a deterministic process that runs locally on a modest home computer in reasonable time without needing an expensive NVIDIA GPU, doesn't regurgitate memorized copyrighted code from its training set, and doesn't boil the oceans in a datacenter for training plus use.

My browser should have zero knowledge of what a filesystem is.

If your web browser didn't store a session identifier in a small file called a cookie, how would Slashdot's server know that you're logged in as ArchieBunker (132337)? Otherwise, I'm not sure where you've mentally drawn a line between cookie storage and "a filesystem" proper.
