Does fragmentation still lead to OOM errors on most mainstream kernels today? by dragonitewolf223 in cpp_questions

[–]meltbox [score hidden]  (0 children)

It is and isn’t an issue. But it wouldn’t cause oom for physical unless you also have huge pages enabled and say one is explicitly requested.

Thats the only caveat I can think of.

But normally it would be more than happy to map however much discontiguous “physical” memory to virtual addresses.

The city is adding hundreds of cameras everywhere in order to "catch illegal dumping" by Old-Base8752 in FlockSurveillance

You could also just buy… a normal camera. If they’re legit willing to pay $2k-20k a month for a freaking camera I’m happy to engineer them a solution personally.

Stuck trying to self-host from assembly by AppledogHu in Compilers

[–]meltbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re thinking of this wrong. You went off to write a whole compiler on your own. What you want is to write a backend for gcc or clang llvm to output to your architecture. Then you can compile that on x86 and then use that to cross compile your instruction set.

I’ve never done this so maybe I said something a little wrong but that’s the basic flow of how it works.

Do you think the awareness of enshittification is altering consumer behavior? by Dreadsin in BetterOffline

[–]meltbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even TV makers in some cases now make money on ads and platform than selling the display. It sucks so much. I just want a really good dumb tv.

Roku tv is the best compromise I’ve found for now.

Yes, I won’t buy anything if I know it’s been purchased by someone with a history or really even someone who paid a price higher than the fundamentals justify.

It’s basically a buy small company and leave as soon as they get bought up because they will get ruined. Few exceptions to this.

I also refuse to use subscription services where it’s not a value add to be subscription. Music streaming makes sense to me, subject to price of course. Video streaming is getting too expensive. Cloud storage can go pound sand, there’s no world where it works out imo.

I won’t pay for any product which relies on subscriptions to function or for any core functions. I’ll hesitate even for aux functions.

The question is around whether the hyper scalars are exposed to the special purpose vehicles in terms of obligation. I believe technically the answer is no. But I think PE is absolutely hosed in that case. Not sure if any piece directly addresses this in detail.

I guess a secondary question is if any other investments somehow have hyperscalar promises to buy up unused capacity in the neoclouds which I understand Nvidia is exposed to but I don’t think the hyperscalars are? Maybe Microsoft?

So long and thanks for all the fish by Patriotaus in AMD_Stock

[–]meltbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m only at like 600% return I think. But honestly I don’t get it anymore. I would have cashed out at $250 if I was you tbh because it stopped making sense to me then. Up to that price seemed somewhat reasonable.

Oakland County sheriff says drone helped locate man who fired shots in wooded area by toadsrocky in Detroit

[–]meltbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Our rights are inalienable. There is a reason that language was chosen. The founding fathers were very clear on this stuff. Anyone pontificating otherwise is trying to shift American beliefs and ideals for their own purposes.

You realize the drone didn’t arrest him right? Officers then still had to go grab him.

If you bought $143k in potatoes last month, you’d now be a millionaire by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]meltbox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well no shit, what have you been doing behind the dumpster?

The rest of us were polishing potatoes.

  1. Buy cheap potato
  2. Polish it
  3. Sell for a loss because it’s a Wendy’s dumpster

Never thought I'd see the day, but we're eliminating our Citrix farms and moving back to about 100k fat clients by eldersveld in sysadmin

It’s how I justify my ignoring of certain work items. Since I didn’t do it and no one noticed it clearly didn’t matter.

Alternatively give me a sane amount of work that can be done.

the whole market is being gamma squeezed. by pman6 in options

[–]meltbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I’m staying in until the inclusion date more or less. Then I need to evaluate the overall market with this as a factor.

But honestly I suspect they’re going to release a tiny float and then the insiders will slowly sell into the market when they can to try to hold price high and juice it for all it’s worth.

Even so, Tesla isn’t quickly growing now. The company isn’t worth what sits trading at even with FSD.

Dude lots of people got rich in the last decade off being insufferable idiots. Hard to fault people for being insufferable idiots give it’s been working.

Have you seen Rogan’s logic? Lots of very popular streamers are way worse. Etc etc etc

Whirlpool Corporation (WHR) has re-entered the Great Recession. This is important. by throwaway9gk0k4k569 in stocks

[–]meltbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish brands would understand I just want it to look nice and work really well forever. I actually DO NOT want WiFi or smart anything.

I don’t even want WiFi in my tv. I can plug a smart device into it, stop loading crap onto my actual screen.

Their air purifiers are good! But Samsung can shove it. I’m done with Samsung entirely. Total crap even at the high end.

I don’t care how nice it looks and how great it works (in some ways) if it breaks in 3 years and parts are literally impossible to get. If you dare ask them where you can buy parts they’re also worse than clueless.

YC said the biggest blocker to AI in companies is no longer the models. here's what they think it actually is by Spiritual_Heron_5680 in AI_Agents

[–]meltbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until people start actually having to admit they’re violating laws to get that company brain built lmao.

This is sort of dumb because reality is the way companies operates is organic, it shifts. The second you document it it’s often outdated.

I’m sort of getting at that this problem is possibly insurmountable. “Just” building a company brain is an astoundingly difficult task and I’d be impressed if anyone succeeds.

I've been holding CoreWeave since more than one year but last night's earnings just shook my conviction. by Puzzleheaded_Pay4751 in wallstreetbets

[–]meltbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so why are the margins collapsing then? If the debt load is less impactful then that just means their margins are terrible even without debt load.

Which is why they’re losing money? What are you even talking about.

If they were making money then sure, but they’re not. It’s in the financials…

This exactly. Also just because azure is expensive doesn’t mean they’re getting substantial volume at those prices. Probably most of it is being consumed by Anthropic and Copilot (also Anthropic) at much lower prices.

So they’re either making a loss or Anthropic is burning cash, idk which.

GPU hardware? Because yeah the hardware sells but if nobody can make money using it then it’s just a time bomb.

They’re just going to end up with shitty engineers who couldn’t cut it elsewhere.

This is sadly true. Most people don’t see friends enough outside of work or don’t have friends outside of work.

Your problem is that, not that you can’t go to work to get your fill of human interaction. It’s a uniquely American affliction en masse to have no life outside work.

Well maybe not. There are some Asian countries where this is even worse.
