  • Wow, that post explained so much of my personal musings on macro social systems in such a neat and excellent way. I’ve always framed it in tiers of evolution: biological, social, and now technological, with each one requiring the previous tier to advance to a degree, and each increasing the owner species’ adaptational might within an ecosystem. To fall behind in the overall might is to accept eventual extinction, or at best irrelevance. Definitely bookmarking this for future musings.




  • Seems like one of those neat features that in reality would see little to no use. Without a rework of cpu cooling systems and installation structures, a “hot swap” of the cpu would take minutes to complete at the fastest, and realistically, there are few circumstances that would benefit from a hot swap. The only realistic scenario would be prosumer dual+ cpu boards that can shift the load, yet are still trying to maintain 100% online time but still cannot afford to just shift it to a second server temporarily.

    Too stiff and unlikely to be used by the entry user, and not worth the risk for corporate entities that can afford to just have more servers with buffer to offline one for maintenance.

    As for my thoughts on how it’d work, perhaps freezing the entire system somehow, and then dumping all buffers to RAM, then like RA2 said, slowly feeling out what you’ve got, and waking things up one at a time as the RAM buffer is loaded back in. I can only guess at the landmines you’d run into trying this in a live environment, with any slight deviation from what a process expected immediately hanging that process, if not the whole system. I’d guess the new CPU would need as much or more cache space, although I’m already reaching my computer infrastructure knowledge on the subject.










  • Okay bear with me. I’m talking about just the thumbnail of your pic. It’s a total of 5mm of ultra grainy pic on my phone screen, and I usually have blue light filters on that really don’t help. If the picture is blown up even a slight amount I can’t see it anymore.

    This is what I’m sorta seeing if you shrink it down another 2 or 3x. I see the face out of her back, and I only register the mat as shoulders, with the bottom half of her dress thing I’m misinterpreting as the shadow cast on Armstrong’s shoulder from his absolute 5 head, which is just me not seeing any difference in color of her head due to the low color levels, thus only seeing a slight shadow. I fully expect you to not see it, I’m really good at misinterpreting even the mildest of ambiguity in pictures.
