If consumers aren't going to or are much less likely to upgrade, then that affects demand from them, and one would expect manufacturers to follow what consumers demand.

I remember when it wasn't uncommon to buy a prebuilt system and then immediately upgrade its memory with third party DIMMs to avoid paying the PC manufacturer's premium on memory. Seeing that price relationship becoming inverted is a little bonkers. Though IIRC Framework's memory-on-prebuilt-systems didn't have much of a premium.

I also wonder if it will push the market further towards systems with soldered memory or on-core memory.

You can have applications where wall clock tine time is not all that critical but large model size is valuable, or where a model is very sparse, so does little computation relative to the size of the model, but for the major applications, like today's generative AI chatbots, I think that that's correct.

Last I looked, a few days ago on Google Shopping, you could still find some retailers that had stock of DDR5 (I was looking at 2x16GB, and you may want more than that) and hadn't jacked their prices up, but if you're going to buy, I would not wait longer, because if they haven't been cleaned out by now, I expect that they will be soon.

I'm not at a Linux machine at the moment, but ip a is probably short for "ip addr", which shows the local machine's IP address with iproute2 (historically, one would have used OP's ifconfig).

I dunno -d off the top of my head, but du -h shows, using "human readable units"


like "M" for megabyte, etc, the size of all the files below each directory starting at the current one. It pairs well with sort -h, which can sort those units


du -h | sort -h is a nice way to get an overview of what is eating up your disk space.

Note that xdotool is specific to X11. Ydotool can do some similar things in Wayland.

Someone has to make the determination, and unless Congress specifies it legislatively, it's gonna be up to the Executive Branch.

I haven't been following the case, but if someone went missing from their house at night, I assume that one of the things that you'd look for is flashlights. It sounds like they also checked for other things, like shoes, cell phone, etc, and found all of those that they knew about. You wouldn't need to notice it missing, just to look for it and not be able to find it.

The US is unlikely to grow labor-intensive manufacturing to match China. However, I suspect that it could overcome the wage difference that makes it more-advantageous to manufacture many things in China.

  • Some kind of radical transformation in manufacturing that drastically reduces labor costs in manufacturing. Maybe advanced AI could wind up doing this.

  • Labor-intensive manufacturing shifting out of China for the same reasons that it once shifted into China


because there are lower-wage countries out there.

>Many U.S. companies have refocused supply chains to Vietnam, Thailand and other countries in the region, partly because labor costs have risen in China over the decades.

None of those result in a bunch of US unskilled manufacturing jobs that pay wages competitive with many other jobs, which is why some people in the US want the US to do more manufacturing, but it could result in the share of manufacturing in China relative to the US declining.

Historically, it was conventional to have a "you have unsaved work" in a typical GUI application if you chose to quit, since otherwise, quit was a destructive action without confirmation.

Unless video games save on exit, you typically always have "unsaved work" in a video game, so I sort of understand where many video game devs are coming from if they're trying to implement analogous behavior.

Not if the pool is all of the colors. I haven't even had all of them before.

There are some that I could distinguish from the others.
