@schweeds maybe I should check out some more of his older stuff to see if it's all the same.

I saw _Garden of Words_, and that was _not_ the same.

OP: I can't believe people are spoiling the ending.

Reply: I know. It sucks that <spoils ending>.

Found the YouTube video tutorial on why AMD has more "flaky" memory initialization than Intel: On both Intel and AMD, the main processor is bootstrapped via a smaller processor - just like historical mainframes and supercomputers. But unlike Intel ME, AMD's PSP is an even bigger blackbox. In the early boot process including memory training, AGESA firmware is executed by PSP / SMU with exclusive ownership of the hardware. BIOS has absolutely no control, since the x86 CPU is not even started yet! If anything crashes at this point, no custom recovery is possible. Meanwhile, Intel's ME is more "lightweight" blackbox, BIOS takes over at a much earlier time and controls memory training. Rumors say AMD did out-of-band initialization because the in-band method was patented by Intel. AMD also claims better "security", since not even BIOS engineers can touch the CPU during early boot.

If Intel ME already got enough hate because of its blackbox nature, now consider the case of AMD PSP...

Fun fact: the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer can't use a real-time operating system.

This is because it's Io bound.

I thank you.

@Moon "you want personal liberties on or off?"

@palecur I actually like _Weathering With You_ more than _your name_, but they're both great.

That's not a bad thing!

If you liked _your name_ or _Weathering With You_, then _Suzume_ is a good bet to give you more of that mix.

I saw _Suzume_ last night and I'm convinced that Shinkai is trying to tell a single story and just iterating on it.

Consider the horror of a web page that works when you shift-reload, but not when you reload, even after a shift-reload.

(This nightmare can be yours with an improperly written service worker.)

I thought I was doing well because I make more money than I spend.

Then I tried to buy a house.

Yeesh.

Fine. Someone hit me with a BlueSky invite and I'll see if I can get on there.

@CrushBead @Elfie @w7voa @Bad_Banner @graf that sounds like the kind of thing that should have a handy screenshot to drop in a chat.
