Youtube hearted comments of Chrysippus (@4.0.4).

  1. Number one: In 1945, corporations paid 50 percent of federal taxes. Now they pay about 5 percent. Number two: in 1900, 90 percent of Americans were self-employed; now it’s about time for making a time machine and going back to 1933.

  2. The response by the Colombian president reads like a gaslighting angry ex-girlfriend who totally has a life and is over it.

  3. This is so cyberpunk in a weird, cool retro way. And a story that must not be forgotten, because it is also too relevant.

  4. It's a problem when most of the "AI safety" community is fear-mongering, hyperbolic and trying to find the sci-fi novel in the data. And usually the best "solutions" this bunch comes up with is "more government regulation".

  5. Imagine a pen that decides what the writer may write, a chisel that won't sculpt anatomy, or a car that refuses some routes (last one might become real...).

  6. Stable low temperatures mean you're not overclocking it enough :D

  7. WebPositive sounds like the OS gets a medical condition of the internets, transmitted via packet exchanges when your ports are wide open.

  8. A recent and significant change I've seen recently is PC components being a lot more looks-focused. Motherboards having covers and heatsinks (sometimes ironically ineffective), graphics cards invariably having fancy designs, even RAM now has to look good. Heck, even the cables have to be all-black or having a custom color, and "ketchup and mustard" molex connectors are a sign of poor pc-building skills. RGB is everywhere, even on power supplies (Thermaltake) and SSDs (Team). Noctua fans, in the past a staple of good builds, give room to Corsair LL fans (among others). You have features like "LN2 mode" on motherboards (mine has it, a Crosshair VII Hero), plus "absolutely overkill" VRMs according to guys like Buildzoid who's channel name is "actually hardcore overclocking". So components right now are really really different from even a few years ago. This is in part because cases now have more glass (the case I got has glass on every side except the back and bottom) and liquid cooling, a niche thing, is now semi-mainstream. Motherboards now have things like RGB controllers. It's a very interesting time to be building PCs, but at the same time prices have spiked a lot, which proves that many people are willing to pay them (either that, or the only people still building PCs are the ones who like it, and most casual users only use laptops). Another cool thing is M.2 and U.2, also small form factors and at the same time E-ATX for processors that cost 4 figures and require absurd cooling solutions.

  9. Imagine the next crop of AMD chips in SBCs, when they start packing Navi cores. The future is bright.

  10. The "not knowing" stage is categorized by not knowing how a Rubik's cube works.

  11. It's kinda surreal if you had to explain this to someone from the past. We'll go from using little magic sand squares into making our metal golems do stuff using microscopic rainbow magic.

  12. You really know a ton about computing. But your 3D renders sometimes look like they were made by someone who watched too many sci-fi movies. I wonder if it's you making them, or maybe somebody else? For example, Why aren't the cooling pipes flush with the board, so it fits on a PCIe slot? :) QPU... That could become a thing. TDP of a thousand watts 😅

  13. Brain tutoring, considering the state of the education system, is probably going to be an order of magnitude more contentious than RFID implants.

  14. I'd have loved a power consumption column (or two, idle & benchmark). As far as "single board", the ability to add up to 32GB of RAM is probably very useful for some use cases.

  15. I love the soothing calm language coupled with balls to the wall crazy high voltage action.

  16. Oh my! This is more vintage than I expected. No offense, but it's possible that one of the better single-board computers you've reviewed is faster than that render box. I know how hard it is to change and to adapt workflows, but haven't you considered the advantages of a more modern system that can render those videos in real-time? As someone who's rendering videos on an old laptop every week, I can't wait until I finish my new PC. Seeing your setup made me feel more patient.

  17. We need an off-white PCB, the CreamPi.

  18. From the number of recent comments, it seems the YouTube algorithm recommended people a good video. I wonder how the uploader feels about having this positive message be spread more? Possibly it has to do with people sharing it in the recent past off-site, which snowballs the algorithm. Glad to see it happen.
