> It would be really cool if someone built an extension to show GitHub status live

"These already exist, why wouldn't you search before posting?"

> There exist quite a few extensions to show live GitHub status

"Why would you not post them if you know they exist?"

Or, what actually happened:

> Here are some extensions that might work for you to show live GitHub status

"Why would you recommend extensions to do this?"

Seems to me like, if your goal is to pick apart someone suggesting something, you'll find a way to.

The only thing that will crash prices is reduced demand (duh) or, more interestingly, increased production. In particular, if CXMT is able to get their DDR5 fabs up to a reasonably high yield, that could add some downward price pressure (as could government subsidies). As well, if Micron/Kingston/Hynix think that CXMT is going to start cutting into their market share, they might be willing to either increases supply or drop prices. Unfortunately CXMT looks to be taking quite a while to get their new fab up to max capacity so that may take a year+ before anything manifests.

If you're interested in following the (publicly available) info on these sorts of things, check out what companies like Axelera, DeepX, and MemoryX are doing today and have on their roadmaps, as well as the sorts of chips/SoCs Qualcomm, Kinara (now NXP), and Ambarella currently have announced (or have on the market). And remember, that pretty much all of these chips on the market today were in initial development more or less when ChatGPT first launched. If you knew what you knew today (or a year ago) about what requirements current- and next-generation models would have (from a silicon perspective), what might you do differently? Think for instance, host system interconnects, amount and speed of on-package or on-die memory, image/video decode capabilities, int8 vs fp8 vs fp16 vs bf16 compute units, etc. And, consider that most "AI" stuff in development a few years ago was all 15nm or 12nm - because who was gonna pay big money to get fab capacity at 3nm to run some object detection models? So most of the stuff on the market today is on very old nodes and therefore not super power efficient.

The "edge" AI landscape (in particular, what you can do with ~5W) is going to be nuts in about 18 months.

This is not true[1]. These DIMMs are not guaranteed to work with all Threadripper CPUs, but they are guaranteed themselves to be stable at their advertised frequencies, which are higher than JEDEC. (And from my experience, 9000-series threadripper is perfectly happy to drive 8-channel 1Rx8 at 7200MT/s.)

AMD (and possibly Intel, I don’t have any experience with their recent offerings) also lets you overclock memory completely on WRX90. So if you buy JEDEC sticks, you’re welcome to try to push them as hard as you can.

The main reason there aren’t more options here is that a) high-frequency memory usually isn’t sufficiently stable, unless binned, and b) there’s very, very, very little demand.

I wouldn’t suggest anyone buy something like this today for home use, but 6 years ago when I purchased it there were not many 10GbE routers to be had period, let alone for the price ($300 roughly if I remember correctly ). Even considering the cost of power over the last 6 years, I still come out much cheaper than if I’d bought something more power efficient new at the time.

Source?

I always replace them on friends’ Toyotas, because they seem more important, but on every car I’ve owned it hasn’t mattered. And if you take the least amount of effort to google “how to change oil on ________” (fill in the blank for your year, make, model), some forum or video will probably tell you exactly what steps to take, including whether or not changing a washer is necessary.

> a place where you have sufficient access to the vehicle to drain it

Probably the only valid argument for people who park on the street.

> the right equipment

One $5 wrench, one $10 filter wrench (optional). One set of ramps ($40), or jack stands ($30) if you already have a jack. One drain pan, $10 (or free if you're resourceful). Total cost max $65. Cheaper if you look for deals, buy used, borrow from a friend. If you can't afford $65 once to save money in the long run while owning a car, you probably should've bought a cheaper car.

> the right disposal solutions

Every oil change requires a jug of oil to be purchased. You can drain your used oil into this jug and then dispose of it along with your other household hazardous waste. This is not hard.

> Most people who have cars do not have that.

I might believe this for a place to do an oil change, maybe. I struggle to believe most, but I would believe many. Aside from that, if you don't have those things, you are choosing not to have them.

Which is kind of the point. None of these things are hard, at all. The majority of car owners 100 years ago could adjust their own timing, clean distributor points, replace belts, etc. because if they couldn't, they'd be calling for a tow truck every few hundred miles. Those are all harder, and things have only gotten easier with time. If you can't do them, you are choosing not to, because there's an even easier solution - spending more money and getting someone else to do it for you.

I had a similar view to you ~2 weeks ago. Spending some time there very quickly made me realize that there’s a lot of other things that are much more pressing.

That works out to roughly a 16.7-second 100m. While certainly not crawling, that would be a fairly average pace for a fairly fit middle- to early-high-schooler with a bit of practice.

Yes that’s insane to maintain for a marathon, but it’s not even remotely out of reach for 100m for most relatively-fit people at some point in their lives.

Full (non-quantized, non-distilled) DeepSeek runs at 1-2 tok/sec. A model half the size would probably be a little faster. This is also only with the basic NUMA functionality that was in llama.cpp a few months ago, I know they’ve added more interesting distribution mechanisms recently that I haven’t had a chance to test yet.

> Friends don't let friends use `dd` where `cat` can do the same job.

Technically yes... but I like being able to explicitly set block sizes and force sync writes.

Do you have any evidence to back up this claim? I'm much more interested in data than fear mongering.
