depends your workload I guess, if you are just compiling a lot of code or having containers with a non-server-like load, then most of features of this computer are useless. Also GUI software will feel significatively worse.

Lastly, threadripper has a NUMA architecture, which is not very user application friendly. Frankly, they are very bad personal computers in general, only worth if you need that much memory or PCI lines, which doesn't seem to be your case.

That is good for Samsung/Qualcomm/Mediatek/Apple, but let's be honest, it is a failure as a business. Despite of being used on pretty much 100% of all smartphones' SoC, they barely make any money. Also, their designs are lagging behind, M1 and probably Nuvia are example of that.

A: "we grew to billions of dollars without ripping off our customers"

B: "it is a failure as a business. If you employed underhand tactics you could be even bigger!"

This is the phylosophy that gives us DRM on cars, 100 page lisence agreement with TVs, and fraud on wallstreet.

> but let's be honest, it is a failure as a business.

Obviously not true, but I can see how some might think this if their main comparators are companies that get to $1trn valuations in 30 years. Not every company can or should be a FAANG.

I think their designs are meant to be lagging, M1 isn't "just better" it's a lot more about media encoding and packing more types of cores together, which while innovative is not what ARM should be doing.

ARM makes prototype designs that you can extend, M1 is an absolute success of that model.

Regardless: you say they've failed as a business, your metric is how much they earn from being nearly everywhere.

I would pointedly disagree: they're everywhere, that's success, they're everywhere and profitable. There's absolutely no need to rent seek... this is unsustainable capitalist thinking.

They're able to innovate and turn a profit with their "modest" income, why do you need them to do more than that? How do you know they would do better with more money?

Intel (yes, apple to oranges) has many orders of magnitude more money, but most of it goes into bureaucracies.

In support of this accurate comment, I'll repeat this assertion: Not all people are wealth maniacs.

I agree with your comment

Do you think that once they IPO pressure from their stockholders will cause rent seeking behavior? Even if they sold to nvidia frankly.

It is super irritating to apply to american companies, most of them ask for your race (optional input) and list latin and white as different options.

I am white as milk from a Latin America country I dont know what I am suppose to complete. I consider myself latin but companies may think I am not brown enough to fit the category.

That form is mandated by the government, not the company. Anyone with a Spanish speaking heritage is considered to be hispanic.

The problem is that the terms are often not understood correctly or confused. Hispanic, indeed, refers to Spanish speakers... of any race. It includes, for example, Spaniards and some Filipinos.

But GP didn't say Hispanic. He was referring to Latin America, whose people are called Latino.

Neither of the terms carry racial connotations. If you're Argentinian of pure Italian descent, you're still Latino. If you're one of the 2 million Spanish speakers of the Philippines, you're Hispanic. If you're one of the Guarani indigenous languages speakers of Paraguay who doesn't speak Spanish at all you're still Latino but not Hispanic.

oh that is nice to know, thanks

So Brazilians aren't Hispanic?

Yes. Hispanic refers to Spanish language and culture.

Brazilians mostly speak Portuguese...

(I don't know if that leaves them considered "Hispanic" or not. I think it does leave them considered Latin, though.)

You can usually put any race with Hispanic from my experience. It’s listed as an “ethnicity” not a race. I’ve always put White/Hispanic

in my experience is better to have customs hooks like useTimeout (react-use library is awesome) so is easier to test. Mocking hooks feels nice, mocking the browser API not so much...

Writing powershell scripts on vscode with the ps plugin is quite pleasant. Would recommend everyone to try it.

Maybe unrelated but I think it is a Hyper-v (w10) issue, not a WSL one. At least same thing happened to me some days ago on one VM running on Hyper-v, it went crazy and consume all my 32gb of ram. It seems to be fixed after reducing the number of cores available to it.

Amazon is the biggest leecher in the industry. They haven't open-sourced any meaningful project back to the community and they even prevent its employees to work in any of them[1] on their free-time.

I think firecracker is pretty meaningful.

Firecracker is a fork of Googles crossvm, not an original Amazon project.

I bet it wouldn't be open source otherwise.

Also, it's a more convenient and secure shell around kvm. It's valuable, but bit that meaningful.

Do they? Nodejs is only backend/builders, so they could be just running javascript on a chrome-like instance, no nodejs involve at first. They probably have the services running on nodejs that poll sensors (or read messages queues) to reduce complexity but not 100% certain.

Yeah, the parent comment here is a little off.

Node is not for UIs, so they're definitely not using Node for that. It was confirmed that the UIs in the Dragon capsule (which, sorry for being pedantic, is not really the "rocket") ran on top of Chromium. It's possible SpaceX uses Node under the hood somewhere, but I don't believe that has been confirmed anywhere.

Also kind of interesting to note that it's only the Dragon capsule with humans that has controls, the capsule (and rocket) are both autonomous. The controls on the capsule are only there "just in case".

Electron’s “main” thread uses Node. You can then communicate between it and browser windows over IPC easily with their APIs.

So if they’re running their UI on Electron, it could be on Node.

lucky me never had issues with my 5950x (windows, x570 taichi). That being said, TDP 105w is bs.

That is not the issue, the issue is that AMD advertise 2700x and 5950x with the same TDP, so at the very least that should means that they both work fine when using the same cooling solution, which is not the case. Using my previous cooler 5950x was throttling at 100 Celsius.

TDP is just now a marketing term. We all know that the real value is when the CPU is boosted.

maybe because by definition you lose data on rollbacks? You can re-run all events/messages (if your company architecture supports it) but that gets more complicated, usually patching is easier and faster. Also, downtime.
