Yeah, but this the UK. Healthcare is free(ish) and when people are short of time and money they tend to make short term decisions.

But then the cost would go up, and there is a cost of living crisis, and a housing crisis, and a climate crisis, and a student debt crisis already.

It's part of a long term trend towards making life for ordinary people are marginal as possible. Fine tuning the system to keep us alive and healthy enough to work, at the lowest possible cost and highest possible profit margin.

"So Goldfinger, I suppose you expect me to talk"

"Good catch! You're absolutely right. You're right to push back, I am not expecting you to talk. There are several reasons I can't expect you to talk:

1. You're well known as a spy who is uncorruptable and has been threatened by far worse than a laser table.
2. You would likely spend the time trying to escape, rather than answering my question.
3. I would not be able to trust any answer you give anyway, because you would be seconds away from death while it would take much longer for me to determine if your answers are true.

In fact, I expect you to die. You not being alive any more would solve several issues, such as preventing you from interfering with my plans in future, or killing me by shooting out a window in a plane causing me to be sucked out into the air.

Would you like to ask me how to escape from the laser table, or how to find Pussy Galore's phone number?

I don't need a frontier LLM to tell me that the Democrats are ineffectual.

The problem with actively trying to be centrist to please everyone is that a) that's impossible and b) it means actively trying to find candidates who are less progressive than the one you're looking at when you're also supposed to be the more progressive party.

The only thing that scares them more than the fallout from the torment nexus is not being the ones in charge of the torment nexus.

That part is kind of rational, except they're only fooling themselves if they think they will be in charge of anything.

Give it a chance and it will remind you of how the orange child rapist mocking a disabled reporter was funny to it

As far as hardware like Steam Deck goes, a future SoC could include the hardware needed if it was cheaper somehow.

Both are a crumby substitute for the meat and potatoes of real RAM.

Indeed, that point is irrelevant because the AI companies do know how their creations access other people's systems: through some type of harness without which all they can do is poop out text. And they first trained the model on content which could produce such a result, and then configured that harness in such a way that doesn't prevent the AI part of the software from accessing things it isn't supposed to. They did both of those things willfully, without regard for the safety of others, and knowing that it can and will go off the rails in that manner. Is it mere negligence when you set into motion a machine which is likely to cause harm? And why should it be any different for code?

I was very impressed by ESR in general until he supported the OSI OSS terminology origin story myth, now I'm only impressed with him as a programmer. How long before the software makes him obsolete in that area as well?

It's a FlashForge Adventurer 5M. This is the Klipper host I'm talking about. I don't know how much RAM is in the other parts, it's not that relevant. It's really not enough memory so ZRAM is a necessity. There are mods for the printer, I am using ZMOD. It also offers a Klipper upgrade, fluidd, lower-memory camera streaming, and a better touch screen interface.

The AD5X has 512MB, the AD5M and AD5M Pro have only 256 and it's not enough. It causes timer too close errors. The controller hardware is just generally inadequate, which is unfortunate because the printer hardware is quite good.

Throughput Vs latency. Hardware RAID tends to be fast for processing large volumes of data, but the overhead increases the latency.

It's a bit different with DRAM though because the controller is complex and built into the CPU. AMD, for example, already transparently encrypts data in RAM with no performance loss, all in hardware.

Does it have a compass too? Those are handy. What's the battery voltage?

My perspective is that they're trying to get the same talent for less money. If it didn't save money compared to doing something else, or if they didn't at least think it did, they wouldn't do it. This isn't even complicated, it's business.

It used to be that business worked with education in order to foster the kinds of skills that would be needed in the future, then trained employees for specific jobs as needed. But the quality doesn't drop enough for the average customer to notice when they use the current method of firing long-term employees in favor of some new guy who has the new thing on his resume already. This is the only thing needed to explain why it's all outsourcing and H1Bs. Nobody wants to invest in a country any more, all of the corporations think they're above such petty things... until a war starts for economic reasons they caused.

So, at first when they were introduced they were faster, because they used cores comparable to your CPU. That's why they were expensive. Then cheaper ones were introduced, they did less of the work, they were slower. In that case more of the "RAID" magic is happening in the driver instead of on the card. But expensive RAID controllers with full offloading were still fast. Eventually our CPUs got to be fast, and now software RAID is usually faster.

In the case of hwraid vs swraid, there is another reason not to use the hwraid — your devices get married to that controller. There are utilities which can convert the data to work with another controller, but what a hassle.

Anyway yes this technique currently requires a CXL controller, it seems as though it is really just a way to reduce the latency penalty for using one.
