Looking through some of my controversial comments, it seems like it worked maybe 1/3 - 1/2 of the time?

Downvotes sometimes make me want to clarify what I wrote on the assumption that it got misinterpreted.

Because that’s what true “citizenship-by-blood/heritage laws more or less straight out of the 19th century” would imply.

Every video in the playlist, at least. Some of the other videos on the channel are on entirely unrelated topics, though.

Goddamnit, “healthcare” is the fucking least of our worries right now!

I wish. My ancestors moved to the US from Germany in the 19th or early 20th century, but I’m pretty sure I’m not eligible for German citizenship.

It’s typical bully behavior: “hey, no fair defending yourself against my aggression!”

LOL, what a whiny little bitch.

It’s weird that you think it’s relevant.

There’s a difference between being banned and being downvoted to oblivion for pushing idiotic tactics.

Nah, skill issue. Get gud and resolve the dependencies manually. 🤓

Well, yeah. That’s because it’s inherent to how CPUs work. Every single CPU on the planet has undefined opcodes, unless the number of defined ones just happens to be a power of two.

No, you’ve got that backwards. Standing in line at a brick-and-mortar store on launch day is the best strategy to reliably get a card at MSRP. Otherwise, you’re either having to constantly keep checking for months on end to snag a card during the brief windows when it’s in stock, or pay way over MSRP for the privilege of easy availability, or deal with all the risk and complexity associated with Craigslist/eBay sales of used stuff.

Also, in this particular case, (a) a $600 9070 XT is a much better value than a $700+ 7900 XT with similar performance, and (b) this generation has tangible feature improvements (namely, decent ray tracing) that you just can’t get at all going back a generation. Edit: and oh yeah, © there’s also the imminent threat of Trump tariffs inflating the price 25% if you don’t buy pretty much immediately.

Maybe, maybe not. Keep in mind that opcodes are the lowest-level part of the programming stack. They’re literally just integers transmitted on the system bus. So if you’ve got, for example, 35 operations that you’re actually trying to implement, you need 2ⁿ ≥ 35 or n = 6 signal lines in your bus to transmit it. But since 2⁶ = 64, that means it’s possible to put another 29 values on that 6-bit bus, with completely undefined behavior unless you go out of your way to handle them in the instruction decoder (increasing the size and therefore cost of your silicon, which is very undesirable in an embedded chip that sells for less than $1).

It is not at all implausible for one of those undefined instructions to just happen to do something that an attacker would find useful, by sheer coincidence.

I mean this in the most polite way possible, but why did you need a new GPU so quickly?

7.5 years is “quickly?!” I’m replacing a Vega 56 from 2017!

If you mean why did I have to buy it on launch day, that’s obviously because that was my best shot of getting one at MSRP, or at all.

I suspect that for every ADHD person like Kevin, there are a dozen struggling because they can’t find the right job (probably not least because the act of job-hunting is itself terrible for people with ADHD).
