@jonmasters @BBCNews @NPR That's silly. We are multiple generations into CFC free refrigerants.
I'm surprised mini splits haven't seen mass adoption in the UK and the likes.

@lithos_graphein Go look at the price of $IBM now :)
Dude got retail to bag hold once again.

@PeteButtigieg Where is the trillions of dollars that you made disappear when you were the transportation secretary?

@lauriewired @IanCutress It's been a while but I think you have to pull out an entire "drawer" but it has the net effect. Most of these Z-systems are not using all the drawers so some redundancy is nicely built in so if you pull a CPC drawer you don't lose any capacity.

@IanCutress interesting, wonder if the small rack ones have the same z-machine resiliency stuff as the larger ones.
could be wrong, but I thought the z-systems were designed where you could replace failing dimms and such without ever shutting down the system

I wonder what the world would look like if IBM won instead of UNIX.
IBM’s i operating system is gorgeous (and still updated)! Everything is an object, no binaries are native (translated bytecode, almost JVM-y), and pointers all have an absurd amount of (useful) metadata.
Technically it hides a lot of the underlying system…you don’t even get to choose if an object lives on RAM or disk! But, interesting to think how much safer software would be.
Overengineered maybe, but beautiful. Kind of reminds me of Symbolics, like an alternate reality LISP machine where everything is an object.

Max Performance?
Max Efficiency?
Max instruction cache?
Max decode width?
Max Frequency?
Max Die Area?
Max L1 bandwidth?
Max memory support?
No, just Max. You know, max rated frequency at any load. Like a half-dozen other options (or anyone with access to a few BIOS options...)

NVIDIA Vera: The Max Single-Threaded CPU at Scale. Agentic AI systems run sequentially, each reasoning step, tool call, and code execution happens one at a time on the CPU. When that CPU slows under load, the entire agentic loop slows and valuable GPUs go underutilized. A max single-threaded CPU at scale keeps every agent step fast, even when the system is fully loaded. That's what NVIDIA Vera is built to do, and why Perplexity is already building on it. Read More nvda.ws/3T1kfl1

@lithos_graphein I think that scene is from independence day so maybe it was timing.

@JamesDSneed I keep losing them and starting over from zero so I have no compounding
