I hope that as a species we can get colonies outside of earth within my lifetime, equally I hope that they will be given the ability to operate externally of earths jurisdiction.
Yes, it does. I will take a pic when I get home, and I did it as a performance test, seeing how much cache really matters, and it boosted my beamng.drive FPS from 40 to 60 FPS on grid map default truck lowest sertings. TL;DR: Yes, it does and it was a test.
I don't know if it's a good day or bad day for me. New update, but all day I have been sick and on the verge of spewing everywhere...
So this is the direction consumer laptops are going? one small board with all SMD components, you can't replace the RAM or the CPU. And all for the sake of what? To save a couple of $$$ in the manufacturing process, and make the laptop a tiny bit slimmer and a tiny bit lighter. Triggers me more than a Millennial that just had it's gender assumed. Seriously though, I guess it doesn't matter in today's world of throw it out when it's slow or broken.
Yeah, that really pisses me off. I can understand it on a graphics chip but I see no reason to have a soldered CPU at all. Same thing with modern laptops like the macbook pro that have soldered in (and in its case) proprietary storage. Just unnecessary and unfriendly.
I work for a company that manufacture oscilliscopes. Save a couple of dollars in manufacturing process, save a few thousand+ throughout the course of the manufacturing run.
Couldn't agree more. "Want more storage in your laptop? CPU to slow for your needs? HA! Have fun buying a new laptop sucker!" True, still annoys me to no end though.
Actually, there are some instances where hyperthreading *can* affect intense mathematical computations, but not in the way that BombIdiot suggests. Even then, those are highly specialized instances and are rare (like weather pattern prediction, but not to a great extent). Caching isn't controlled by the CPU cores. Do you know what CPU cache even is? It's memory. It has a dedicated controller. Hyperthreading has NOTHING to do with caching. Oh, also, having read your PCPartPicker synopsis, why in the everloving fuck did you buy a CPU with hyperthreading if you didn't need it? Why didn't you save $50 and just get a Pentium G4400? Same socket, same architecture, same upgrade path, would have allowed you to choose dual channel ram at the start. OR why didn't you save another $30 and get an i5 6500? More cache, 4 physical cores, much better. Something here doesn't add up.
I'll talk to you for an hour if you want about how you will see not just a man on mars, but a self sustaining colony. you will live to see us have our eggs in more than one basket. the constellation program was sound in design for the most part. all that's left is the money. the Apollo program is the greatest technical and engineering feat ever achieved by man so far. the whole program cost less than 150 billion USD in today's money. that's literally peanuts when our yearly defense budget is between 6 and 700 billion. If somehow we could match that budget and split it half between nasa and half split up amongst space x and the other private firms for just a decade, forget it. we would have hundreds of people living and working on Mars utilizing local resources and 3d printing by 2030. rocketdyne did the work 60 years ago. write the check world.
I do wonder if there is space for collaboration not just between US govt and private companies but also for other parts of the earth. The ISS has been pretty successful, Imagine a similar collaboration for colonisation of other planets or space. However I feel that whatever colonies do come to fruition will be strictly following the law of whoever sent them there, if that was a global effort maybe we could see a less regional approach taken.
I'm not sure if I should order a 32gb MicroSD card for my next phone (which has 32gb internal) considering I have pretty much used up all of my storage right now, I guess time will tell if I can use 32internal+16external or if I will have to upgrade to 32internal+32external. However, I do have a lot of video on my phone right now which I ought to transfer over to my PC.
No one who can't be reasoned with will be sending anyone anywhere. it will be European and American scientists with Asia sending people as well. also if you send a group of people to a desolate wasteland of a planet you can bet your ass they will be loyal to each other over some government a billion miles a way. there's no way being in that hostile of an environment can foster anything but total teamwork and an "it's us against the world" mentality. if you send the tons of food before hand than everything else you can make. electrolys ice found on Mars into breathable o2 and hydrogen. combine hydrogen with trace co2 atmosphere to make rocket fuel. it can be done with existing tech. just need the money.
I just had just had the scariest moments of this year. Someone came to visit to see my mum but she was having a nap so I accidentally scared the visitor off. I told my mum about it and she ended up pissed with me so I panicked, slammed my mums bedroom door, ran quickly to my bedroom, slammed the door and burst into tears. Yeah mum next time tell me that you was expecting someone. My mum did apologize in the end.
Well, hopefully they don't go towards Lord of the Flies Mars edition But there was a recent study/experiment done where they made some people live together for a long period of time in Mars like conditions to find out how to best encourage cohesion and comradery amongst the crew. While I haven't done anything more than see a YouTube video about it, it seems the results were pretty positive.

The cache I'm talking about is when I disabled hyperthreading, it gave each physical core the full amount of cache it has, instead of having to share with a logical core aswell. Maybe I should've gone with a Pentium g3258 or g4400. I turned hyperthreading back on, and was met with a drop in FPS in beamng.drive. (about 10) Other games weren't affected as much. It ran and still runs better than my laptop, so I'm happy either way.
