The thing is modern CPUs boost behavior is the intended, design for thing. We as humans should have a working regulator when top performance is acceptable even if damaging if sustained. A cpu also has that. That is a thermal/current/voltage limiter.
At least my takeaway from the post is that you one can’t sustain a level of power/performance that is achievable in moderation / bursts.
But that’s literally what the post is about. You cannot perform in burst mode sustainably. If you could that wouldn’t be the top/burst speed anymore.
They really lost me there. Everybody knows everything evolved into crabs /s
A cpu will not do boost speeds sustainably. That is what its best performance is though. If I remove the thermal limiter my cpu will happily cook itself even though it is rated for 5GHz top frequency.
Edit: Saying there are no thermal constraints is like saying it will not break. You presume the conclusion there.
If there are no emotional constraints I will also function a lot better sustainably.
There is a lot of equipment that is rated for short bursts of power that would be destructive when sustained.
Military aircraft for example can often reach high speeds for a short duration. This is not improvised but designed and rated for.
Most modern CPUs have non sustainable boost speeds that they can reach but not sustain due to thermal limits.
Electric turbochargers often can only operate in short bursts.
There are countless more examples.
They do this because it works on many people.
It’s also about the social conflict between Vietnam and Korea veterans. Something largely forgotten today.
Now I want to know how hot Rudolph’s nose would need to be such that its radiation could be picked up by these satellites.
I am sure it would still be very hot but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was colder than one thinks.
O! say does that star-spangled Banner yet wave,
O’er the Land of the free and the home of the brave?

America was founded on contradictions.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.[…]”

Written by a slave owner that had a sexual relationship with his enslaved sister in law. Her father was also the father of his late wife. Both had such affairs after their wives died. He even knew that he held incompatible views. Some say he had moderate views on slavery for the time and wanted it abolished some time in the future but the fact is he profited from slavery including child slavery (also his own children), bought slaves and encouraged slaves to procreate (children born would also be his slaves). His “solution” to slavery was to establish African colonies of American freedmen believing that no joint government would be possible.
Wait bipartisan? Everybody told me that the US Congress could not even agree on the color of the sky.
I feel like the comic sans hate did die down in recent years and justly so. It was overhated IMHO. It’s an ok font for certain uses. The problem was mostly people misusing it to serve roles it was never designed for.
There would be so much violence in the world if they did.
And they all require way too much money :(
Next level reactive armor.
Yes it is really different from human society. You yourself admitted it. In all those cases the bird has almost no chance of survival while we do. I don’t say humans would survive 100% of the time but it’s a fighting chance. I don’t say it is fair. Nature is also unfair.
Like you stated in many places in the world even a disabled person can survive on the labor of society, even if it is a struggle. In many sane places medical care is relatively affordable i.e. socialized. I once spent a month in hospital paying around ~200€ total. And while that is an extreme privilege some access to healthcare even if poor can be found all over the world.
Humans are capable of extreme cruelty but humans are also capable of great compassion. Especially in smaller groups.
I wouldn’t like to be a bird. If a bird gets sick it will probably die. If a bird is injured it will probably die. If a bird is born disabled in some way it will probably die. Not to speak about all the predators just waiting to eat you.
I get you peaches, I also just barely survive the emotional coldness of a northern German winter.
Correct me if I’m wrong but the Linux Kernel itself does not enforce a directory structure at all. It’s the user space (including the init ram image) that mounts the system directories wherever they want them.
Edit: Besides inside mountable system filesystems like sysfs or /proc etc
