Interesting #discussion about maximizing #ram #bandwidth https://unum.cloud/post/2022-01-29-ddr4/ As the #hackernews #comments point out, with a #amd #threadripper #cpu you need to have your code #numa aware: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=301..

A #discussion about the #bmj #british #medical #journal being #factchecked by #facebook #factcheckers and being told they are #fasleinformation https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj.o95 Very scary.

The cheek of it!

A genuinely interesting #discussion on #jordanpeterson 's #podcast about #public #infrastructure https://youtube.com/watch?v=bzMTlBddJ-E I think the #guest didn't quite answer all of the #questions but #peterson did a great job of keeping things moving. It's really something when the #central #government is #failing on #messaging to #local #government - especially on #longterm #infrastructure #investment ... Also interesting to hear how the #covid #pandemic #lockdown has #impacted these projects.
