I remember one of my first PC builds had a RAID card with a Marvell controller. I can still visualize the logo on the POST screen

I hope either type of battery becomes cheap enough that I can create a power bank to power my home without breaking the bank, because right now its still rather expensive to do so.

Follow Will Prowse on YT. It's actually not that bad all things considered (and depending on how much power you need to store).

Unfortunately so it seems. The Pandora's box has been opened, people have gotten a taste of it, and they like it. One just has to look at some of the freakouts people have had on Reddit whenever the AI they were using gets changed or its romantic abilities limited. It's rather terrifying.

I wonder if we are at the point right now where AI needs a large bright disclaimer while using it saying "This person is not real and is an AI" (kind of like the big warning on cigarettes and nicotine products). Many of us here would think such a thing is common sense, but there are plenty of people out there who could be convinced by an AI chatbot that they are real

Same. Constructive feedback is not always positive, and it is needed.

And of course when they do its never the ad-free versions.


Probably because there is a massive demand for it, no doubt powered by the loneliness a lot of people report feeling.

Even if OpenAI blocks it, other AI providers will have no problem with doing so


I know very little about electronics design, so I always find it amazing that they keep managing to double PCIe throughput over and over. Its also probably the longest lived expansion bus at the moment.

It's less surprising if you realize that PCIe is behind Ethernet (per lane).

Which Ethernet standard? Light online searching leads me to believe it tops out at 800Gb/s. (and not in a format I would normally call Ethernet)

Look at throughput on a single lane from the MAC to the PHY.

802.3dj is maybe finishing up soon and has 200gbps lanes. Which is more or less about what pci-e 8.x is supposed to be. The table in the article sums both directions of a lane, which leads to confusion. People want faster ethernet in fewer lanes, so no doubt a 400gbps per lane standard will be starting up soon for pci-e to leverage as pci-e 9.

> not in a format I would normally call Ethernet

Why, because it doesn't use ether, or vampire taps?

Ethernet works over many media, and that's been pretty consistent throughout its life. It started from or at least was inspired by AlohaNet a wireless system, then you had thick and thin coax, then twisted pair and fiber, now twinax and board level interfaces are common, too.


Ethernet has 100 Gbps per lane today and soon will have 200 Gbps while PCIe has 32 GBps today and soon will have 64 Gbps per lane.

I’m sure you can get some VMEbus boards.

Arizona has the perfect conditions for solar energy (sunny 99% of the time), they really should have taken advantage of that.
