Is that true? I thought that pairs of USB-A ports shared the same PCIe lanes, and USB-C each got their own set?

Edit: thinking about it a bit more, I suppose it could depend on how the SOC/chipset allocates those lanes, but in my experience when writing a single USB I’m usually limited by the thermals of the USB, and writing well below the speed of the port. I suppose if you were writing many at once (or if your USBs were nice) that could bottleneck on the port speed.

Caaaaaalllllllzzzzooooonnnnneeeeeesssss!

Ummm or the authors are concerned about retribution because stallman and the FSF are very powerful in the FOSS community, and I think it’s reasonably likely that they would be sued (seemingly with poor grounds) or harassed online for publishing it.

Good point. Though, the vast majority of ML training and use is tensor math on floating points, so largely dot and cross products, among other matrix operations.

I think you’re thinking of the famous fast inverse square root algorithm from Quake.

With respect to the top comment, the only reason 3d graphics are possible (even at 850W of power consumption) is due to taking a bunch of shortcuts and approximations like culling of polygons. If its a reasonable shortcut it either has or will be taken.

Good question. Odd not to include one.

No worries, it’s pretty hard to keep track when their naming scheme is “it has a K in it”…

Can you unmount it? You may not be able to change the boot flag while it’s mounted.

If that doesn’t work, you likely can’t remove the boot flag while the system is booted. Try booting from installation media and changing the flag there.

I think most ereaders support rendering HTML, why not just save the HTML page? Thatd be a lot easier than converting formats.

Okular is pretty great, I can’t find a package that does good annotation of PDFs built on GTK.

Yeah, came here to recommend this. It’s basic, but the UI is great.

It definitely is, but I guess domestic demand could outstrip production.

Yeah if that’s not on-brand for Intel, I don’t know what is! I wonder what the max power draw for the 14900H is, it’s gotta be close 😂

Huh I did not realize that. Is that an NTFS vs. EXT4 thing?

Ive noticed that for some reason it launches in 1-2 seconds on Linux Mint as opposed to like 10 on Windows for some reason. Seems weird, since based on the status messages it seems like the rate limiting step is opening a bunch of Python modules, which shouldn’t be drastically different between OSes??

The most confusing thing is that “200V” isnt a CPU, it’s the equivalent of “15th gen”.

The numbers before the V are un-parseable, but at least for the actual parts it’s a “Ultra 7 236.1425926V” or something

0x129 (plus turning off XMP) was enough to stabilize my 13700KF for now, and hopefully 0x12B will be the final nail in the coffin for continued degradation.

However, polling users here for experiences isnt going to give a good perspective on how the CPUs are actually doing. Until it’s pretty far gone users may not even notice, and the small sample size of folks who’ll reply here is probably not going to accurately reflect the actual state of the CPUs.

Level1techs has done some really good work investigating this at large scale on datacenters, and the takeaway there is that these problems are going to take a while to show, so its generally not a good idea to buy these CPUs til 0x12B has been out for a few months and we know the effects, at which point Arrow Lake will probably be a better option.

tl;dr if you’re going to buy right now, buy AMD 7000, but if you’re willing to wait til February or so, it’ll be a decision between the new gen of Intel CPUs and current AMD CPUs (only 9000 series will probably be available by then).

Technically changed two letters. Thats what makes them innovator auteur geniuses.

The molecular mechanical modeller NAMD and its viewer use TCL as the CLI interface, and it’s…fine. I would prefer BASH or python, but it works just fine.

Also Tk is how most LaTeX drawing is dealt with, so trying to modify, say circuit diagrams or chemical structures drawn directly in LaTeX (I.e. chemfig) requires using some Tcl. Again, it’s…fine. No huge complaints.

Edit: bad memory, the drawing program in LaTeX is TikZ not TkZ, its unrelated to Tk.
