  • PCIe 5.0 x16 can match DDR5’s bandwidth, that’s not the issue, the question is latency. The only reason OSs cache disk contents in memory is because SSD latency is something like at least 30x slower, the data ends up in the CPU either way RAM can’t talk directly to the SSD, modern mainboards are very centralised and it’s all point-to-point connection, the only bus you’ll find will be talking i2c. Temperature sensors and stuff.

    And I think it’s rather suspicious that none of those articles are talking about latency. Without that being at least in the ballpark of DDR5 all this is is an alternative to NAND which is of course also a nice thing but not a game changer.




  • Armed struggle != war crimes. One does not justify the other. The October attacks were like 5% achieving military objectives, the rest mindless slaughter, to the point where one can legitimately question whether the military objectives were not completely incidental. Hamas could have bee-lined for as many IDF outposts as they could, they didn’t, they shot up Hippie Kibbutzim of all places. (Which is also why Netanjahu and triply so the Kahanites don’t care about the hostages: They’re by and large lefties).

    Same, of course, goes for the IDF and what they’re currently doing. If both sides kept to not even self-defence but only military objectives there might actually be peace in sight.
