Trucks being dick compensators is also based on their association with the work they do. Easier to pretend to be a salt of the earth tough guy when you both drive the same truck but with a different trim package.

Basically, the true victory condition is to create a win condition that impresses the other player

Arguably it's purpose is to define where government responsibility ends and tyranny begins. Very useful if the population it applies to cares about it being violated

The Magna Carta was meant to formalise that spec 800 years ago.

I suspect there is a hysteresis loop - it has to get really bad before the population changes phase.

The most common issue anyone around were I work has when their computer is running slow is available memory. Windows 10 -> 11 has seen 16GB go from more than enough for anything other than power user tasks to barely enough to use the full array of standard office software, all with no actual improvement or meaningful change to the standard user experience. Going from 7 -> 10 at least made it so that you did not need to download your entire OneDrive and attached SharePoint libraries.

Exercise is great, just make sure to take sometime to evaluate where you are at mentally. I was running about 40 miles and doing 5 hours of lifting per week to try and stay a head of my depression, and when I finally burnt out everything came crashing down all at once.


Exercise is great for addressing feelings related to being physically inactive. It won’t address other mental health issues, such as learning to control your emotions & fostering healthy relationships.


There's a deeper level to the way you calibrate your mental operation. If you're under a lot of mental stress, your body is evolved to prime you for physical effort, beyond the fight or flight responses. By engaging in exercise, you're resetting your physical condition, and that can put you in a much better position to mentally cope with whatever is happening.

This is something that has very deep evolutionary roots. A looming project deadline, a relationship crisis, feeling burned out, general malaise about your place in life - all of those stressors can bring about different neurochemical and hormonal changes that are in whole or in part dealt with in a healthy way by engaging in strenuous physical activities.

That puts you in a position to gain perspective without the immediacy of the negative emotion, so you don't have to feel anxious, or have subtle negative threat framing around everything.

You can abuse that, like anything else, and mask real negative factors in your life, or it can be a phenomenal and healthy way to deal with the negative framing of otherwise neutral or even positive circumstances in your life.


The problem is when the exercise is excessive and/or the depression is caused by stress/overload. In that case the exercise can lead to burnout/CFS/overtraining, resulting in worse depression as well as debilitating physical symptoms.


> Exercise is great for addressing feelings related to being physically inactive.

That definition is probably too narrow.

Also they are using variants of the same scam to target a variety of groups


I'm pretty sure GPUs have their own RAM installed that is usually higher spec than the motherboard RAM.


Higher in some respects (bandwidth), lower in others (latency, even though ordinary DDR5 is already no speed demon there and LPDDR5 is worse). At least from the spec sheet, these kinds of RAM are so different that I don’t really understand how demand for one can cause a shortage of the other, unless they are competing for the same manufacturing lines.


FWIW: GDDR is not higher latency than DDR. It just seems that way because the GDDR interface clock is much higher, so the number of clocks are higher too. But in terms of wall clock time, the latency is very similar.

Which makes sense: the latency is determined by the underlying storage technology and the way to access that storage, which the same for both.


They are competing for the same manufacturing lines.

RAM manufacturers are switching lines over from DDR to make HBM.


HBM works really great in GPUs too. In fact if I have to spend 5 grand on one it had better come with HBM lol.


Perhaps they have already secured components for the foreseeable future.


From their prospective, the efficiency increases and more gets done, but the hours and wage stay the same and the number of co-workers may decrease.


You may want to adjust your view of the world if you think making a living wage webcamming or selling drugs doesn't involve hard work.


Author has never said he isn't able to do a hard work, he just noted that he wants minimum of it. Sad that the truest answer is the bottomest, even lower than a single emoji post!
