If so, let the docs know what you had and that it typically spreads to the area you're now experiencing a change in, if they're not already considering it.

That's why they lowered it to 1.5C from the 2.0C they initially talked so much about, otherwise they'd be happy if it ended up below 6C. And that would be really bad.

Cohen discovered that he had unknowingly paid a credit card bill of Lynch's for $75,000, and that most of the money in his accounts was gone, including money from his retirement accounts and charitable trust funds. This had begun as early as 1996, when Lynch started selling Cohen's music publishing rights, despite the fact that Cohen had no financial incentive to do so.

So yeah on its own not very impressive.

The large amount of memory means you can serve larger models, or less quantized, but that also means they're going to be slower due to the low bandwidth.

Well I can't pay for it even if I wanted to, so that's not a good argument.

And the redesign isn't tiny, it made a core feature (tabs) significantly worse to use in my case.

I had a quite good panel before but this was a huge step up, best computer-related purchase I've made in a good while.

I also think 4k at 27" is a nice density for a regular desk. I specifically didn't want a 32". I think that mitigates the sub-pixel issue people talk about.

I've been quite fuzzy about blurry fonts and such, but one of the first things I noticed coming ftom a 27" 1440p was how nice and comfortable text looked. Perhaps "regular" sub-pixel layout would make it even better but I'm very happy so far.

On its own it decided to do demo playbacks and take periodic snapshots, and compare them pixel by pixel if the PNGs differ.

I was also working on a web-based port but it saw the original Quake code was not modified so it compiled a native version on its own to use for this.

It had to apply a small patch to make the game completely deterministic, but it figured that out on its own by reading the code.

It then asked me to record a demo with various elements, say an explosion or being under water, and visually verified that the screenshots had those elements present.

So now I have a solid set of tests to verify against.

Opus 5.5 Medium. Used at most 1% of the weekly limit of my $20 plan.

Checked yesterday, for that day alone I had used $168 worth on my $20 subscription in Claude Code. I still had plenty of weekly use left. Seems like subscriptions are discounted at a 1:10 rate?

A key point was the organization didn't finance things. Instead they financed seminars, workshops and such. They'd pay for travel, food and accommodations, as well as renting a place and one or more speakers.

They'd facilitating people learning basic accounting skills which they could use in the co-op back home to make it harder for another co-op member to embezzle money, for example.

A lot of aid per buck this way.

Seems like you're well on your way with something similar. Well done!

In a few cases it asked me to check some subcircuits and some component values because it couldn't read it right. So instead of just making things up it deferred to me.

It also ran tons of small simulation experiments while doing this to verify claims from the service manual, like that the RC filter it had read off the schematics actually had a cutoff frequency that was sensible in relation to some bandwidth number in the manual.

I had uploaded datasheet PDFs for many of the ICs and it used those to cross-reference and validate.

It kept on working for over an hour. When it asked for the manual verification, I described circuit connections in words, like "from pin 3 on IC 2 there's a series resistor of 3k in parallel with a 10 pF capacitor, it then connects to a 18k resistor to ground, a reverse-biased diode to ground, and then finally into pin 6 of IC 4", and it correctly understood the topology in all the cases. Sometimes it asked me to check again because it though something was off, and indeed I had mis-read the schematics.

I also provided reference articles on the underlying theory. Scannded stuff from the 40s and 50s. It correctly read the equations and cross-validated them across papers, and even caught several typos along the way.

I barely had to do anything apart from providing the PDFs and some occasional manual schematic interpretation.

Claude 5.5 on High. Burned through about 50% of my weekly $20 subscription usage, but I didn't try to optimize much.

I did use Sonnet 5.5 Medium on some datasheets and it also did very well on the extraction, but did have to correct itself more often on the conclusions.

OKI Group printed circuit board (PCB) company, has successfully developed 124-layer PCB technology for wafer inspection equipment designed for next-generation high bandwidth memory, such as HBM

Since the latest semiconductors process an enormous number of signals and the number of wafer-mounted chips increases due to process miniaturization, it is necessary to increase density and more layers on the PCBs used in inspection equipment.

In their linked semiconductor testing page[1], they mention conductive paste. So seems they test whole wafers by having the whole wafer put on such a PCB, using conductive paste instead of solder or similar, and the high layer count is then to be able to bring out all the connections (pins) from each chip to the testing circuits while maintaining the high signal integrity required for the high-speed signals.

HBM makes it worse since it is fast due to its very high bus width, 1024 bits wide, moving to 2048 bits wide[2]. So to test a HBM chip on a wafer before its cut and bonded to a GPU chip or such, you'd need to bring out those thousands of connections per chip on the wafer. Hence the need for so many layers compared to a regular PCB.

That's my semi-informed take.
