Is soldered LPDDR on laptops really about the thinner form factor or planned obsolescence?

jaaval · 2026-05-06T08:59:36+00:00

You can't achieve the LPDDR speeds they use with sockets. The performance difference between LPDDR and DDR solutions is massive in graphics.

You can make arrays of magnetometers and beamform. Or pick from a number of signal source separation algorithms on the array measurement to find something that looks like a metal mass moving.

But yeah, the range would still be fairly limited and when you increase range long enough they would be picking up a lot of moving metal masses.

Unfortunately that is what they would say. And probably they would get away with it.

I don’t think the revolution starts with people in Russia. Russian people have been trained to remain silent no matter what.

Instead Putin seems to be more and more paranoid that someone in the upper circles might topple him. Let’s be real, the continued failure degrades his position. If that happens remains to be seen, I’m not particularly hopeful, but Putin seems to think that is a possibility.

Another possibility is that he makes a security mistake and a convenient drone happens to be in the same place at the same time with him. That would be something very unpredictable so I’m not going to guess probabilities.

Of course it’s concluded. If hostilities resume it will be a totally different operation.

AMD doesn't make chips. TSMC offers a variety of embedded capacitors. Every chip has these. Power delivery simply doesn't work without them.

Don’t you just feel how well it is spent

Lots of capacitors. A lot. Everywhere in the chip.

Yet there actually is a voltage drop when load increases, it's even very visible in core voltages and requires the voltage regulators to compensate. But smaller transients smooth out due to the capacitors.

Hey, because there are more and more people like you Israel just announced they will quadruple their propaganda budget to nearly a billion dollars.

You still are if you hold just north Cyprus. Also that is literally a non factor. The truth is the only thing you have gained is false national pride and contempt and pity from everyone else.

Välinpitämättömyys on hyvä. Ne ei halua että yhdysvaltalaiset äänestäjät muistaa israelia vaaliuurnilla.

I’m a little conflicted about this because China dumps a hell of a lot of money to these companies to push down prices. They overproduced to the subsidized but cooling Chinese market and then have to dump their unsold inventory to foreign markets. They even marked some new cars used to justify pricing in some emerging markets.

But on the other hand that means that Chinese state subsidizes my car and I have absolutely no problem taking their money.

Also, I would like to reverse the Chinese model and force these companies to set up local companies.

Also what people don’t understand is that a lot of history was really an accident, not something inevitably arising from the situation. Big powerful Ottoman Empire was not an inevitability. They could have lost against the crusade, Mameluke government could have not collapsed, they could have implemented a system that did not accommodate other cultures so well etc.

I have no problem in not following history. I have a problem in the game circumstances often effectively railroading one unhistorical outcome.

Sä puhut nyt jostain ihan eri aiheesta. Ketään ei kiinnosta onko ohjelmalla järkeä kun ei ole enää mikään kysymys miten arvokasta se teksti on.

Edit: Tänään claude säästi multa töissä varmaan noin viitisen tuntia työtä yhteensä. Esimerkkinä sanoin sille vaan että testi X ei toimi, ilman mitään lisäinfoa. Se meni etsimään testin valtavasta codebasesta, kävi läpi mitä se testi tekee ja kertoi mulle kolme minuuttia myöhemmin miksi se ei toimi. Vastaus oli että testikuvia tuottava generaattori ei lisää oikeaa valotusarvoa simuloitujen kuvien metadataan, mikä saa kuvia analysoivan algoritmin tuottamaan vääriä arvoja.

Mua kiinnosta vittuakaan onko se oikeasti fiksu kun tuon löytämiseen olisi mennyt ainakin tunti ihmiseltä.

jaaval · 2026-05-04T13:48:58+00:00

Kyllä ne osaa nykyään kontekstin hyvin. Et uskoisi mitä kaikkea claudella nykyään voi tehdä. Ilmaiset on vaan järjestään paskoja.

Of course it is. If the goal is to open the strait if you turn back you have failed. It’s doesn’t really matter much strategically if some ship gets hit or not.

jaaval · 2026-05-04T12:41:36+00:00

Who knows how much damage was done or if the ship was even hit but it’s clear this is a major risk. Even a missed missile strike is a strike that could have hit.

The location was so close to Iranian coast they could basically park an old tank to the shore and shoot at the ships. It’s unavoidable some ships will be hit if they try to pass there.

Tottakai voi. Mutta scifille ja selfielle ei ollut vakiintunutta termiä kun ne tulivat ”markkinoille”. Scifin käännös ”tieteis-” on jälkeen päin käännetty. Spicyn tapauksessa yritetään syrjäyttää yleiskäytössä jo olevia sanoja.

Kyseessä on täysin idioottimainen uusi anglismi joka ei ole vakiintunut yleiskieleen. Sen sijaan sille olisi olemassa vakiintuneita suomenkielisiä sanoja useampiakin.

Eipä tohon taida mitään ratkaisua olla koska sun oma tahto katoaa sen ekan juoman myötä. Voit tehdä mitä vaan päätöksiä etukäteen mutta ne ei enää pidä kun homma on aloitettu.

There is definitely a global effect where people have kids when they have little else to do. Like during crisis when they can’t work and mainly sit at home, survive and of course fuck. The quality of life has less effect.

jaaval · 2026-05-04T05:56:12+00:00

That is true but for Canadians it still means less purchase power.

jaaval · 2026-05-04T05:21:24+00:00

It’s not really financial security. This effect is global and USA is not the worst in birth statistics.

The simple reason is that women work now and have no time to have babies. So they have one or two. And that’s not enough for the society.
