I don't understand why chips are still separated from CPUs. Any programmer can tell you that memory access is slow. We put all sorts of things on the same chip together.

Bot4Sale ,

@schizanon A number of reasons, simplifies the CPU design, improves cooling, maximises flexibility to match cpu+ram to use case, no expert on this next one but I think optimal/maximum frequencies differ enough between cpu and ram speeds that trying to match them (for compatibility) would inevitably impede the functioning of one or both systems.
There's a really long answer here which might help ... https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/175615/why-is-ram-not-put-on-the-cpu-chip

@CynAq @actuallyautistic the neatest description I have heard is that anarchism is a system without rulers, not a system without rules.

@infmin @CynAq @actuallyautistic Generally I think it means more rules! Or different ones?

It's nice. A bit less spammy, a bit less cantankerous.

I started by following the hashtag and following the @science account, that exposed me to a lot of users talking about science, from which I could choose whom to follow.

For topics like that, I tend to organize my follows onto lists divided by their main focus (it's a rough sort), and set each list to "hide these posts from home". That way I can see posts on that topic when I'm in the mood (rather than all muddled together on my home feed, which is more for close friends and serendipity).

Sometimes empathy is the heaviest weight you’ll ever lift or carry. It’s a form of compassion fatigue.

@Vecna What did you think of the book? Been looking at this series after I finish The Scholomance series by Naomi Novik.

@bookstodon

@TiffyBelle @bookstodon I thought it was fine - nothing super special, but I enjoyed it enough to move onto the second one.

Couple of twists - saw one of them coming and not the other. Book 2 looks as though it will go into the magic more than Book 1 did - which is the bit I'm interested in with most series. :)

Strongly recommend this book.

Author clearly explains how private equity firms are destroying essential industries, how they avoid legal responsibility for the disastrous consequences, who’s empowering them and how they can be stopped.

Private equity’s is to blame for much of the worst aspects of health care, housing crisis, the economy as well as the deepening wealth gap.

oh he didn't know what private equity was until 3-4 months into writing his book... and his employer is the Department of Justice which is the government? He looks a little egotistical considering he doesn't have much experience, feels like a smear job.

and his interviewers are even more pushing anti-capitalist rhetoric... and they make things about specific politicians...

I think they're just upset capitalists figured out how to dodge taxes by using debt lol

this is sounding less like an interesting book =[

I don't think he knows anything deep, I think this whole thing is an opinion piece

@herhandsmyhands @JiSe @romancelandia They fought real hard to put copyright above first sale and private property rights. they literally passed a law to eliminate 1st sale doctrine: the DMCA.

now that the situation they made is hampering them from committing theft (in their own words!) they suddenly have a change of heart. allegedly.

"you wouldn't steal a... would you?"

they sure af would.

weirdwriter ,

@RubyJones @herhandsmyhands @romancelandia Agreed. I just literally have no patience for these kinds of things. It really baffles me that a lot will even say it enhances productivity! I can’t remember the author now, but it was an erotica writer that did use LLMs and she was super proud of the fact. I haven’t read one of her books ever since because I simply don’t want to pay for generated content. How is This so difficult for others to comprehend?

Welcome Elizabeth!
The UN created Israel. The international community supports Israel’s right to exist.
There is no debate with organisations that do not.
There is no lack of information either.

I need a book rec.
I'm looking for found family, smart writing, diversity, and a happy ending. Any genre will do, just give me an escape hatch from my current worries.
