i know people have things to do and money to make, doing things purely for shits and giggles is good for the soul, and should be considered nearly as important as sleep or taking time off.
you can learn new stuff, not even meaning to, and even if you don't it's still something you're doing for fun.
i wanna say it was BOHF or maybe a thinkgeek shirt - something to the effect of STFU before i replace you with a (very short) shell script.
Asking Chat GPT to write code, and it spitting out valid, working code scared some people.
Having code that compiles/runs and answers the question asked isn't the job of a programmer.
if chat GPT can handle integration hell, the last 10% of the job that sucks up 90% of the time, the polish, sanding of rough edges and greasing of the wheels to make things flow, all the weird customer requests and magical woo woo buzzwords into a functioning product - then yeah people are fucked.
seems iffy, might be useful alongside traditional cooling.
1. high frequency stuff to drive this thing might make noise an issue.
2. wouldn't it have to be integrated into the chip your cooling to optimize the effectiveness?
3. the wording leads me to believe their "performance" is cooling to noise ratio and not just cooling.
IDGAF about noise as long as it doesn't sound like in a server closet, i just want to keep things under 90c with a margin for hot days, crapped out a/c.
this is just a solid state fan. cool for sure, potentially very useful (industrial/embedded will probably love it), but marketing needs to calm down.
In the PCWorld interview on YouTube they even showed an unbranded Intel laptop cooled by these chips and also mentioned that multiple device manufacturers are planning to put this technology inside their products this year. So I highly doubt this high frequency noise is an issue. They also explained that the traditional arrangement of having a vapor chamber between the CPU and the active cooling to move heat also works with this design without losing efficiency, and this way they also can increase the cooling capacity by putting more chips next to one another.
> fanless cooling solutions which tends to degrade after a few years.
Thermal expansion/contraction between cooler and chip itself "pumps" out the thermal paste which over time degrades cooling performance. If the system is running 24/7 its probably not as noticeable because you don't get the frequent heating/cooling you'd see on a device that gets power cycled often.
Are there designs that don't use thermal paste? As I understand it regardless of solution you need paste or live with significantly reduced conductivity. That goes for any system - fan cooled, liquid cooled, passive,...
Graphite thermal pads are available for consumers (e.g: Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut,
IC Diamond Graphite) which offer similar performance (within 5°C) to paste without this issue.
Edit: to answer my own question it looks like Apple uses thermal paste but the cooling in the M2 MacBook Air looks extremely flimsey to the point of being almost non-existent. I doubt it will be affected much at all by this.
You're looking for phase change materials (PCM), which soften at the desired operating temperature. Prevents pumping out because it's still mostly-solid.
>> Are there designs that don't use thermal paste?
Yes. Glue. Paste is for when you might want to one day separate part from heatsink. If you don't care about repairs, it is perfectly reasonable to just glue them together with thermal adhesive.
is it theoretically possible to have cooling paste be jelly like? so it just returns to previous position after cooling down? or its just to irrelevat problem to invest in it?
There are thermal pads that perform equally or better than thermal pastes, due to their design. In particular, something like https://thermalmanagement.honeywell.com/us/en/products/therm... can be better than a good thermal paste like https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/16-kryonaut-en. The thermal conductivity is improved due to the use of a phase shifting material. Reliability is improved due to the fact that it will naturally return to solid without cracking during heat cycling.

If you wanna sync across multiple devices or something, have a checkpoint file or something and throw it on dropbox,one drive, Google drive, owncloud.
The future is duct-tape, bubble gum, paranoia and "it work on my machine"
Honestly, because everyone wants to print their own money. Every chain, sub network, and token has their own unique hypothetical target use case that they're hoping for people to bite into.
Debugging the code for a self modifying ai sounds like detangling a schizophrenic rats nest (like ai post catastrophic fuckup autopsy), but I think a blockchain as a train of thought and sort of a git commit log for the things it "learned" and state info for why it was learned, and actions or decisions would cite rules/"facts" learned from previous commits, something like that could actually make it doable by human beings.
As for cryptocurrency itself, it might be a good idea, but
as is with anything involving human beings, greed might make it a wash.
We're already fucked because nobody trusts shit because every study gets turned over within a few years because some company with a financial interest in the outcome wanted to use it as a cudgel to beat their competitors over the heat with.
Lets hand that to fringe nutbags,HoA with too many nosy neighbors and bored people looking to stir up shit for giggles.
People who are into science will decide whether or not they want to put in the work to persue it.
Turning into a crowdfunded anything on the internet is going to turn it into a get rich quick scheme for con artists.
A distributed fault tolerant power grid based on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind would benefit from a network of battery storage systems.
for example around 6pm EST the sun goes down on the east coast, however in on the west coast there's another 2 hours of daylight- in the early evening the surplus power from the west coast would handle the demand spike as people on the east coast come in for the evening and start turning on the lights. The reverse would be true in the morning, the east coast could preload the system for a couple of hours as peoples coffee makers and office computers fire up in the morning on the west coast.
Storing the energy instead of burning it off over long haul cable runs could also potentially make the grid more efficient, with the batteries acting as capacitors and smoothing demand spikes and voltage transients - making it somewhat more reliable as well.
Its really not a bad idea, but is gonna require a lot of manufacturing, testing, and getting agreements in different states with different laws and regulations.
the engineering and work are gonna be rough, but i'd guess the paperwork is where the bulk of your time winds up going.
Don't try to resurrect the horse from the greasy spot on the ground where it was formerly beaten to death.
It's all a cancerous detriment to society.
If you wanna talk to people online... Discord, irc, forums.
Let social media die... Let the trash fire burn itself out instead of lighting new dumpsters on fire in hopes of it being the next big thing.
That sort of thing (social media) is bad, and we (human beings) just need to let them go away.
It's all a hives of propagandists, "influencers", shit posting and lonely people seeking external validation shouting into the void.
