Probably cheaper and freed up PCIe lanes for desktop boards (marketing?) now yeah it doesn't make a lot of sense.

I finished a mod for Quake 2 I started in 1998 finally a few weeks ago. AI is really helping me get past the COVID burnout I was running of too many projects I half did. Fixed terminals (an rdp tool) today. Working on OpenRA bugs I opened issues 10 years ago now - engine is 10x faster and pathfinding mostly works properly.

It actually doesn't it feels horrible. you can't paste files from a samba share or large ones take so long to copy that they ultimately fail.

Thats just port speed, charging and other features are all a crapshoot on USB making Thunderbolt the sane version of the "USB-C" family where it requires a set of things (speed, charging wattage)

For me you open a markdown editor and draft up a code plan and details of what you'd do as a coder at a high level then bust into whatever tool in planning mode (I usually fire this into the opus 4.5 model) and have it break it down into concise steps and then hand it off to a simple model (gpt spark, sonnet, composer or whatever) to execute. when I feel frisky I'll just have opus one shot it and it can be done in a few minutes.

Scary that I can relate to this and then am reminded by the star trek episode they make you relive a memory every few minutes forever. Never put these two together, oof.

Can someone explain what this is like I'm the idiot I am?

The Kodak Lossless True Color Image Suite is an ancient set of reference images from days of film used to make jpeg, and everything else, reproduce colors (and other thing) accurately. The linked GitHub repo is a PCA (Principal Component Analysis) decomposition of those images, which is a bunch of math (linear algebra) you'd use to make compressed representations of those pictures aka how you'd save them as a jpeg. (PCA does a lot of other stuff, but that's what it's doing here.)

Saturn with an updated i4 please

The other name for these filters are "oil bath filters" basically it snorkles the intake air through oil and that sticks to any dust and dirt.

I have the original 1940's Minneapolis Moline R and my wife has the original Farmall H and we both currently live in the city (but grew up farming or close to it) so we're not city kids, but somewhere stuck in between. I deeply get the feeling of using a non-tech machine, and how simple it is but intuitive to use. We used a pain mixing stick to check the gas level in our tractors on the farm, I don't think the gas gauges ever worked. You'd have to whack the starter with a wrench since they didn't ever work half the time. They worked over 60 years before they got their first oil change (my grandpa didn't believe in changing them - but my dad and I think it's just because you'll never get the canister filter to seal ever again if you did change it)

Great memories.

My Ford 2N has exactly two gauges: oil pressure, and ammeter. And the ammeter doesn't work.

But the tractor does.
