A conversation from Discord about overclocking CPUs
View messages.md

<Thomas> Dude 7800x3d "overclocks" pretty decently. 4.82 ghz all core or 4.97 single core.

<Thomas> Got a much better overclock: 5.0 ghz all core stable. 5.2 single core.

<Thomas> And I'm still like 100 mv below what I could get to, but my cooler won't be able to go much higher all core load lmao.

<Thomas> tmax is 89c, and I'm at 80c right now, but I'm also running in an open case config.

<Ivan> the software and tests used to qualify CPUs at the Intel | AMD | ... factory are secret and we have no complete substitute, so there is no way to qualify a CPU yourself for any non-default voltage and speed that can be guaranteed stable under all system conditions, especially rarer or more IO-loaded states

A less naïve perception of URLs
View urls-and-time.md

Ordinarily, when we encounter a URL, we take just the URL by itself and do something with it; perhaps we try to load it in our browser or store it somewhere.

We can consider this to be the more naïve interpretation of a URL: we assume we're always fine with the latest version of the document, or the document is unchanging, or the changes don't really matter; we try to load the URL in our browser and if the website is gone or not the version we expect, well, tough luck for us.

But we can make our perception of URLs a little less naïve, as there is another piece of data we can take when we see a URL: the time that the URL was posted. Fortunately, we typically encounter URLs in documents or messages with some sort of timestamp.

So instead of taking URL, we take (URL, referring_document_time), which enables us to know which version of the document that author was referring to. We can then, for example, look up that website around that point in time in Wayback Machine. In other cases, when a website parti

tokio::io::AsyncRead poll_read implementation footgun
View asyncread poll_read footgun.md

The tokio::io::AsyncRead documentation confusingly states:

Poll::Ready(Ok(())) means that data was immediately read and placed into the output buffer. The amount of data read can be determined by the increase in the length of the slice returned by ReadBuf::filled. If the difference is 0, EOF has been reached.

https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/io/trait.AsyncRead.html

The footgun is that when poll_read is called, buf may already be partially filled. In some cases, this happens just a small fraction of the time in production, causing e.g. the last chunk of a file to be poll_read twice.

Setup code:

Cults are patronage networks
View Cults are patronage networks.md

Cults are patronage networks. They distribute benefits. The benefits could be intangible, they don't have to be money. Belonging is a benefit, acceptance is a benefit, access to [partners] is a benefit, money is a benefit of course, but also power is a benefit; an internal hierarchy. It's a fantasy, it's what we call in psychology is a paracosm. A paracosm is an alternative cosmos; it's detached, it's a bubble. And so within this bubble you can create an entire universe with its own laws of physics of you wish, and then if you play by these rules, you're mightily rewarded, emotionally, materially, in other ways. And if you don't, of course, you're sanctioned, similarly. So it's what we call a reinforcement system. It's a reward-punishment system. Positive and negative. And it's fairly intermittently by the way, it's fairly intermittent in the sense that very often, the leader kind of punished you to remind you that you're still at his mercy. He demotes you, he criticizes you publicly, he does something to
