I get to work from home every day, and so does my wife.
We each have our office space so we can work in peace but at any point in the day we can just have a chat, we can have lunch together, we can have our evening planned and be out of the door at 5pm
It’s just all so much better than the old office-based life
Got into making redstone logic in Minecraft, including joining a community of people building all kinds of crazy things like CPUs. This was early days too - I think the repeater was brand new
Eventually wanted to make mods so started learning Java. Was bad at it. Then wanted to make games in unity. Was bad at it. Learned C++ at Uni. Dropped out and was bad at it.
Kind of repeated this cycle for various languages and tools for years, never with enough motivation to learn properly. Eventually I hit a critical mass of skill and was able to actually make things in HTML/JS and over a couple years this snowballs until surprisingly quickly I find myself a senior developer teaching others!
To make you less anxious:
A friend of mine had issues with his (much older) PC, stuttering in games and similar but it still worked
When I took a look I found it was pegged throttling at 100deg after running for a while. This had been going on for months
Eventually found the AIO pump had completely died, any cooling was due to passive conduction through the materials and water
We replaced the cooler and now it’s been running fine for another 3 years and going
TL:DR: modern CPUs can run hot, and safely boost. As it gets too hot it will start reducing clocks but it’s highly unlikely you damage anything unless you go out of your way to overclock, overvolt or ditch the cooler entirely
I honestly wouldn’t worry about it, especially with the weather as it is at the moment- my PC is getting about the same with a 3900x, nice noctua cooler and loads of airflow It’s been going over 30 in my office and even the best coolers can’t break that physics
Check again when it cools down, might make it easier to see if/where there are issues
It’s not stateless end-to-end, it just means the client needs to keep track and pass the state rather than drivers or hardware
I’m not 100% on the motivation but from an architectural standpoint it does make sense - your software can now do many new and weird things without a hardware change
One example I saw was allowing an arbitrary number of streams to be processed simultaneously, just passing the different context state for each stream
I love burgers, I hate mayo. This has caused me more pain than most would understand
TL:DR The stuff the dedicated module is doing will go inside specific Mediatek chips on specific premium monitors
Really weird it’s taken this long - I remember reading that the modules were expensive and assumed it was just because they were early generations and Nvidia was still working things out
