- I stand corrected, at least for gaming. I got burned in the past by 3.0 but it was for data processing.

- Gen Z can't make it till end of month, can't get married, can't get a mortgage, many graduates struggle to get a job... Meanwhile they see pensioners having a blast and telling them they are lazy/stupid, and keep rising their rents.
You betcha the gerontocracy sees something brewing.
- NVIDIA models 4060/5050/5060 have only 8 PCIe lanes. Combine that with PCIe 3.0 and it becomes a problem.
- The article mentions AM4 boards and many of those are PCIe 3.0.
https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/ilz8v6/which_am4_...
Chipset PCIe Version Supported X570 PCIe 4.0 (both GPU/NVMe) B550 PCIe 4.0 (GPU/NVMe; other lanes are PCIe 3.0) A520 PCIe 3.0 X470 PCIe 3.0 B450 PCIe 3.0 X370 PCIe 3.0 B350 PCIe 3.0 A320 PCIe 3.0 - Be careful with these older boards. Some might be PCIe 3.0 making your GPU and NVMe dog slow.
- Both are right.
The chasm between proactive vs lazy people is growing exponentially. I predict it will bring a lot of drama.
- I was a big fan of Claude. Even defending CC from all the haters on Discord. Then Anthropic started to play games and quality of the model dropped while the app became very unstable. (not about limits in my case as I'm not a vivecoder)
I really dislike Altman, but honestly Codex is far superior. And their models are better or at least as good. And they are much better for backend/low level/C++/CUDA IME. Codex CLI is simpler and lean. Perhaps because Codex was rewritten in Rust earlier this year while CC is still in TypeScript.
- Part of the stop-gap plan of the White House is for DCs to run those backup generators at peak hours. That would be for years until the new power plants get online.
- I don't think there is MSRP. I guess the retail price will be $3000 if you are lucky to find stock for it.

- Most CEOs do what the board wants. And the board usually reflects shareholder primacy.
- The gig economy is hiding the real employment problem in most of the West.

- Since 2004?? If anything, it's a terrible statistic.
Meanwhile, since 2010:
> House prices across the EU have soared by 48% between 2010 and 2023, according to Eurostat, while rents increased 22% over the same period. By 2023, nearly one in 10 people were spending 40% or more of their disposable income on housing, including 29% of the population in Greece, 15% in Denmark and 13% in Germany.

More than double.
