ECC DDR5 is like 10 times more expensive than normal ram.
>>
>>107406553
basically the DDR5 built-in "ECC" is because the chips are internally much more error-prone, they need that just to bring them up to the level of DDR4 non-ECC. It's a bit like QLC flash vs TLC/MLC. If you want the equivalent of DDR4 or earlier ECC you need DDR5 with real ECC, that is, the 9th chip on the module.

He's obviously a very important programmer who programmed a very important thing, but I don't think even Linus (Mr. Torvalds or Mr. Tech Tips) himself would call himself the greatest programmer who ever lived, nor would he claim to be all that well versed in anything outside of the Linux kernel.
He's said a few times that outside of the kernel, he's not actually that good with computers.

Indeed - Linux usage outside single-use servers is a autistic thing, unironically.
Not that it's a lack of intelligence - It's a mental illness that makes the person interested in technology itself instead of using it for rational objectives like spreading your genes through gaining wealth.
The linux user is one step further detached, he is more interested in tinkering with the OS than actually using the OS for it's sole intended purpose, to run third party applications and games.

I have wasted more of time trying to get basic stuff working on Windows than I have on Linux.

What's that? You want to run a sh script? Fuck you! Even though most of professional devs have used *nix systems, you can't do that on Windows!
Aww? You really need to? Then use **Linux-Subsystem for Windows**! (Or minGW)

If you have a PC with DDR5 RAM you already have at least some form of (somewhat questionable) ECC
But if you want 100% accuracy then having actual ECC is always better. There are lots of types of ECC. If you don't mind the calculations taking a bit longer you can get an old workstation with a server-grade Haswell Xeon CPU and ECC RAM for pretty cheap these days

>>107406408
Once you start looking at rasdaemon reports on a system equipped with ECC you realize how uncomfortably common correctable errors can be. Never going back to "normal" RAM. ECC is what all RAM should be.

A spike in ECC errors also alerted me to a PCIe device misbehaving electrically some years ago. Not directly but the spike caused me to investigate, and after confirming the RAM was good, I re-inserted the PCIe devices one by one, until the bad one caused the ECC errors to begin again.

Are you not aware that older used ECC ram is often much cheaper? As stated by myself and others, one can easily get an old Xeon 32T-64T CPU with 128-512GiB ram for much less than your $500 figure

>>107412152
No, I mean that Windows is more likely to crash than Linux--shrimple as that.

>do you know how this phenomenon occurs?
Yes
>>
>>107412004
No. DDR5 has huge latency because it was a tradeoff for the high bandwidth. Specifically because it uses a prefetch buffer that's twice the size of DDR4, along with double the burst length. With chips including huge amounts of cache, latency to system memory has mattered less than it did before. ECC doesn't affect this at all.

The big problem with DDR5 ECC is that it is only on the chip itself. Unlike true ECC it can't catch or correct errors during transmission or for the memory controller on the CPU itself.

If they wanted something with the high-level and memory-safety features of rust whilst still being able to have low-level access, they should have chosen Ada. The compile times of Ada are closer to C than rust, and a separate compiler wouldn't need to be used since GCC has had official Ada support for decades.

No not at all. What I am saying is that Linux tends to have fewer bugs in it that make it crash, mostly due to the massive amount of commercial development on Linux to make it so stable--which is part of why Linux is much, much more widely used for servers than Windows. Aside from normal, non-bitflip-related error, Linux's kernel is smaller and, thus, is less likely to get bitfliped than Window's; this also applies to when applications are being used since they tend to be smaller and more modular such that they won't cause os issues if/when they crash.

The latter can still be problematic if the application is something like xorg on a desktop environment because it would prevent the user from logging in or switching to Linux's integrated ttys to kill xorg (as it would be capturing all input but not processing it). This has happened to me several times in my life.

Maybe another time. Even regular RAM costs stupidly much right now.
>>
>>107415549
As an aside, lots of problems in Linux can be recovered from with a simple one-liner--such as when xfce4's taskbar(s) get kill from lack of ram because you decided to have >3300 FF tabs open and let it get 20GiB deep in swap (I really did that). Perhaps Window's taskbar can be relaunched too though...

It is about owning the best version of a thing for retention. Studios rerelease and remaster constantly. Rippers constantly redo encodings. Generally early after a release the best you have are webrips, then maybe a year later you'll get a proper remux with all 7.1 channel lossless audio tracks, then 6 months after that you'll get proper high quality AV1 or H265 encoding so you can reduce wasted space.
There is also the issue of older shows vanishing for several years at a time on the web and lost episodes (Looking at you Space Ghost Coast to Coast, only 2 missing episodes to go). I don't have time to hunt those down and the amount of time rarer versions of things spends on the internet maybe at most 24 hours. So if you aren't always looking you'll never find it.
But I'm a discerning collector and only want the best for viewing if I find the time on my 65" G4 OLED and 9.1.4 surround sound system. If it isn't 4K, HDR, with lossless surround I'm not interested (or the best version of a thing available at least).

it was 15y ago, not sure how the latest - DDR5 reliability is now

ECC works by reserving some cycles to check for errors, hence its slower by default. Treat it like a secondary timing thing like TRFC.

Tell me you have no idea what you're talking abouy without explicitly saying so.
Phoneposting so ill spare the details, but Terry wrote the bulk of TempleOS back in the late 2000s/early 2010s. Only a true retard would even attempt to compare his work to something done today in the age of instantaneous help & feedback through sophisticated LLMs. Terrys shit was confirmably original, whereas this false idol you jerk off to clearly took his supposed features from elsewhere. Not that anyone blames him, OSDev is as hard as it gets and definitely not suited for everyone. But to put him above King Terry is just straight off blasphamous you disgusting fucking kike

>>107406985
naw, most ram is underclocked if anything, your average ddr4 ram stick will easily clock 20-50% higher within voltage tolerances. The real trouble comes from cosmic radiation causing bitflips, on a system with small amounts of ram and limited uptime it doesn't matter much, but if you're running a server with >512gb of ram and its almost never restarted, those flips can start to add up, not to mention when emr from solar flares hit at the right now.
>>
>>107424879
>naw, most ram is underclocked if anything
This, back in the DDR3 days, I had a HyperX 1866 kit that would do 2052MHz stable just by cranking up the bus on the FX-8350, no voltage increases on a memory controller that probably wasn't even the best, the thing would've done an easy 2133MHz+ if I overvolted but I didn't want to hurt anything, it does show how little these DIMMs are being pushed.

LLMs are so bad that I often have trouble getting them to write a simple 80 line pyqt script without messing up. Also, lots of osdev documentation extisted even back in the early 2000s. And by ~2010, https://wiki.osdev.org had become a very good resource.

>>107413228
I like how they admit they have no proof that it was a bit flip and it's just the result of them giving up trying to explain it.

No one has never confirmed a bit flip in a real life event, it's impossible. Ultimately it's far more likely that there's a genuine bug. Claiming a bit flip seems like such a cope, basically for insurance purposes.
>>
>>107406408
Why would I need it? I upgraded my server from 32 to 64 GB for free by selling the ECC modules because I wanted a better APU and will not overpay for those shitty "Ryzen Pro" because they are just rebranded regular APUs with ECC but for triple the price. Desktop Ryzens have ECC but they draw far too much power for a server, I tested 5 different ones.

also the fact that having a lot of features was never the idea behind templeos. I think one of the most valuable comments about terry (and something I choose to believe as true) is in a reddit thread, some posts from an old coworker at ticketmaster, who said something like terry wanted to rebuild the network stack even back then and was already working on his own implementations of things from a bizarrely stubborn ground up kind of way, and wanted to enforce it in the company. like he already had an entire canon of what computing should be in his head back then, and finally realized it in temple. and even then it could only have been a partial realization

Shut the fuck up you ignorant fucking retard. First of all, sizeof.cat schizo is a pathetic excuse of a human being, but he started writing his OS in 2013 or sth, way before LLMs were a thing. Terry had enough documentation in his age as it does now.

And nobody has the right to call anyone a kike or newfag when he doesn't know who Donald Fucking Knuth is.

You have never even read TAoCP.

I never said Terry was not an excellent programmer, but he's not very impressive in terms of being the "greatest" programmer ever.

You can run it on AM4 provided you don't need the advanced features and only need reporting and autocorrection. The problem is prices are through the roof and it's more expensive when it first launched and I brought it with an expensive impact to my wallet when it was almost $700. I am considering selling mine if this continues since I am considering downgrading to a 32GB pack and upgrading GPU instead but adjusted for inflation, it hasn't hit that mark yet.
