OpenAI Codex bombards SSDs with needless write operations, costing millions

Reply in thread

Heck yeah! It was super easy to set up with AIM Toolkit.

I think 16GB of RAM would be sufficient for most any game computer to do it this way—I’d allocate like .75 to 1GB on my 16GB machines.

My main game computer has 32, so I allocated 2GB since I never come close to touching it!

I was looking at the RAM drive’s properties in Wandows and was giggling after clicking on the “ReadyBoost” tab. Gotta use that RAM drive as a buffer between RAM and SSDs!

Miracles everywhere in this bitch.

I am shocked those songs came out so long ago. They’ll always feel like “New ICP songs” to me, but I also graduated from school in the mid-2000s, so the world had many more juggalos in it than there are now.

My experience with juggalos has been “universally crusty and brash, yet inclusive and with a vehement seething hatred for bigotry and almost always religion,” so their pivot to God was an interesting development for me.

I love the fursuit thing though, that’s just sweet.

90s Civic or Miata has been my dream forever, I’m with ya.

Two pieces of modern tech, though: security and sound.

90s Civics were notoriously easy to steal, so I’d definitely want something to prevent that.

When I was younger, I’d always dreamed of having a nice sound system in my car, but could never afford to do it. Now that I have a car with a super nice sound system and a sub, I can never go back. No “infotainment” BS tho, just gimme a standard deck. USB support is nice, but an aux jack is all I really need.

Windows 11 hibernation has been silently hammering your SSD this whole time

My oldest SDD is still at like 85% health and it’s almost 15 years old O:

Shoot, my VR machine is about 13 years old with original CPU, RAM, and HDD! It has my old SSD now and a newer video card (2070) so it can play rhythm games at 90-120FPS.

My oldest working (working for tasks I’d actually use a computer for, not retro fun) computer is 15 years old! MacBook Pro. I need to get Linux installed on it. That’s a project for.. eventually.

What sensory overload bugs you the most?

Smells is like an opposite trigger for me! With some very strong exceptions, I’m extremely smell… oriented? Anything from “Amazing” to just “interesting”. Some smells trigger a flight response though, and my brain says I gotta get away ASAP. Fertilizer/doodoo/stomach acid/most rot/ammonia/the kitchen drain trap goo after they haven’t been cleaned for a long time/mold make me panic a little and I gotta get away from it.

GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not?

In a lot of cases, yes! I’ve run into quite a few. Some I’ve even been able to run through the browser, but I threw a couple bucks for the Stream version because it was the easiest way to give them some money where I live, and the other versions they put out for free. I think they just put it on steam for a couple bucks for more reach, and made it a couple bucks instead of free to cover the cost of listing? Or just to have a way to buy it easily. I dunno, but yep you can
