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... :woozy_baa:

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.

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.

Everybody knows the Ea-Nasir facts, only people who took anthropology classes know the interesting conjecture:
Fact: most sumerian clay tablets were not baked/fired, they were usually recycled and the clay reused.
Fact: the Ea-Nasir complaint tablets were found, baked, in the ruins of a house.
Therefore we might assume that Ea-Nasir kept his unbaked complaint tablets in his house and somebody burned his house down.
If you find yourself "reasoning" like this, you're NGMI.
It's important for you to know that not only is that guy cringe, he also has a known history of being friends with someone who is creepy.
Alice: I found a link to something called "Sneer Club" that shows how cringe this guy is.
Bob: If you find yourself fighting by checking Sneer Club for cringe, you're NGMI.
