I’m guessing “Grip 6” is a particular brand, but I have used buckles with grip action (on normal leather (or were they some fake leather? dunno but not nylon) belts without holes) quite a bit and I liked them.

Making your own holes in a holed belt might cause a greater structural weakness than it can handle, depending upon how tight you like it.

I recently got a knitted-ish belt (this is probably nylon or similar stuff) and you can insert the anchor at ~5mm intervals (thickness of the rope used to knit it) and that seems like a good idea too.

When you’re talking about the PCIe peripheral, you’re talking about a separate dedicated graphics card or something else?

Yes, similar to what a PCIe Graphics Card does.
A PCIe slot is the slot in a desktop motherboard that lets you fit various things like networking (ethernet, Wi-Fi and even RTC specialised stuff) cards, sound cards, graphics cards, SATA/SAS adapters, USB adapters and all other kinds of stuff.

I guess the main point of NPUs are that they are tiny and built in

GPUs are also available built-in. Some of them are even tiny.
Go 11-12 years back in time and you’ll see video processing units embedded into the Motherboard, instead of in the CPU package.
Eventually some people will want more powerful NPUs with better suited RAM for neural workloads (GPUs have their own type of RAM too), not care about the NPU in the CPU package and will feel like they are uselessly paying for it. Others will not require an NPU and will feel like they are uselessly paying for it.

So, much better to have NPUs be made separately in different tiers, similar to what is done with GPUs rn.

And even external (PCIe) Graphics Cards can be thin and light instead of being a fat package. It’s usually just the (i) extra I/O ports and (ii) the cooling fins+fans that make them fat.

I guess an NPU is better of being a PCIe peripheral then?
And it can then have their specialised RAM too.

A cube-Earther aiming for the stars?

I was expecting it to be about GUI programs just waiting for an input.
Because when it hangs, it’s most probably either doing something long, or something that got elongated due to external factors, which ended up being programmed into the GUI thread. So definitely not idling.

If your goal is to enchant the cable with fireball, then you are on the correct path.

What’s costlier than increasing RAM?
Getting a GPU with higher RAM.

I’d say, we need to optimise for VRAM usage much more.

When I got my 64GB kit 3.2GHz, I was considering saving up for a 128GB 3.6GHz one.
I should have just bought the 128, then and there.

Even if someone spat spit, I won’t want to stand in front of them.

Aren’t there already regulations for casinos and the like?
Might as well apply the same to these. Then all lootbox games will become adult only.

So I saw a post where the body text said, “Title”.

Makes sense, considering DDR4 has only gone up 2x.
Though now I need to but the motherboard sooner than later, lest there be no good stock by the time I get to it.

Reset all passwords every 3 months, I guess?

You can also mix diced onions with corn kernels, and spray some lemon an black pepper on top and it would be good to eat.
Although I find raw onion to be too strong to eat in such proportions, a few fistfuls should be fine.

It’s not a privacy problem.
It is a stalking problem.

We’re using the wrong words.

If we end up getting privacy in public, the police will then use it to stop people from filming them in public. That is the long-term goal of setting this in motion.

Might as well use it to track ICE

I’m pretty sure that the “non entitled to privacy” part was not about getting organisationally stalked, but that if someone were to randomly take a picture outside and post it somewhere, then you don’t get to make them take down photos.
Also, if you are creating a scene in public, other get to film you as they get to see you.

This is not a problem about privacy in public. This is a problem of:

• organisational stalking
• misrepresentation of actions
• shirking accountability and responsibility

The incident from xz gives a good example of where self-compiling stuff would be a good idea.
The code was mostly fine, but the maintainer managed to include malicious instructions in the binary. Most people who read the source, didn’t realise the possibility. I checked it out afterwards and it was still hard to get.
