CXMT just recently demonstrated the ability to manufacture RAM chips. The existing supply is all from Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. A fourth player should increase the supply.
- Comment on ASUS plans to produce RAM amid shortage problems 1 day ago:
If they made DIMMs with CXMT chips, they wouldn’t need a fab (CXMT presumably has access to those). ASUS already has the PCB production and pick-and-place factories.

unless you mean DRAM specifically in favour of HBM for the datacentre/AI market (which is what they are doing)
Looks like it’s the opposite:
- Comment on How do you "feel" gender? 1 week ago:
Sex means a couple of different things:
- Of the physical characteristics that organisms use to reproduce in a way that combines their genomes, which category an organism or a part thereof fits into at a particular time
- The act of reproducing in this way (short for “sexual intercourse,” but the long version is rare outside formal scientific contexts)
Gender means even more things:
- A euphemism for the first meaning of sex
- The sex (1) that someone wants to have, usually when talking about someone with dysphoria (whose body does not initially match that sex)
- The societal roles that are placed upon people of a particular sex(1)
Trans people were referred to for some time as “transsexual,” because their sex(1) does not match their desired sex(1), but people kept conflating it with sex(2), due to the similarity to words like “homosexual,” which is about sex(2). Thus, it was changed to “transgender,” relying upon (or potentially creating, I’m not sure about the history) gender(2).
This makes discussion of gender(3) more difficult, especially when it does not align with someone’s gender(2), especially when that does not align with that person’s initial sex(1).
The person to whom I replied has a sex(1) of female. They also have a desired sex(1) of female, and that desire is somewhat strong. That’s helpful for them, because dysphoria is by all accounts quite unpleasant. Their gender(1) and gender(2) are both woman.
Because that person is AFAB and satisfied with that, society is highly likely to assign them the gender(3) of woman. However, while they don’t specifically oppose that role, they aren’t thrilled with it either. One can fairly easily imagine another individual for whom the role is hated, but who is also satisfied with their body, making their desired gender(3) different from their assigned gender(3).
What do we call that hypothetical person? Anything to do with “sex” is probably out, because that refers to either attraction or body type. “Transgender” is already in use to refer to people who aren’t satisfied with their body (or, if sufficiently young, the way in which their body will develop without intervention).
“Gender non-conforming” is probably the closest to what we want, but what if the person wants to conform to a gender, just not the one assigned to them? That is to say, what if this person’s relationship to gender(3) is similar to a trans person’s relationship to sex(1), rather than a nonbinary person’s relationship to the same? We could just use the term anyway, but it’s imprecise in this context.
Heck, what word do we use for the person to whom I initially replied? “Cisgender” is more or less correct, but incomplete; they certainly aren’t trans in the common sense, but they aren’t quite as cis as most people either. “Gender non-conforming” isn’t really correct, since they do mostly conform to their assigned gender(3), they just do so out of convenience rather than a sense that that’s who they were meant to be. “Agender” usually implies someone who also doesn’t identify with a sex(1) or gender(1), which is incorrect.

The RoC doesn’t make much RAM, to my knowledge. It’s the RoK that does that. Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix all have their own fabs.

The US hasn’t been competitive in RAM in something like 40 years. The PRC is working on catching up to the RoK. I hope they manage to export good RAM soon, because the Korean companies are all cutting back on production to increase prices.

One more instance where our language around sex and gender really muddies things.
- Comment on How do you "feel" gender? 1 week ago:
I simply accepted my AGAB
you are cisgender.
Huh? Plenty of trans people accept their AGAB for some amount of time before realizing that it isn’t correct.
i want to ask if you are certain of this, because simply not possessing any feelings positive or negative about your gender doesn’t mean you’d be fine if you woke up as the opposite or something in-between… you would also be forced to see your body and yourself differently because others would treat you as the new gender you are now presenting as. still don’t care?
In my case, still no. I mean, it would be inconvenient to explain to everyone I know why I suddenly look completely different, but beyond that, I don’t think I’d care. Obviously, I can’t know for certain unless it happens, and any experiment that attempted to find out would be absurdly unethical, but I’m as certain as I reasonably can be.

Does the RoK not have selective enforcement laws? In the US, I think the 39 colleagues’ testimony would get him off without anything else.
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 2 weeks ago:
DP++ HDMI support tells the GPU to output HDMI. If the GPU can’t output HDMI 2.1 over an HDMI port, it can’t output it over a DisplayPort (as a general rule; you could theoretically wire the DP for a higher standard, but why would you?)

Being short isn’t a problem in and of itself, given the assignment, it just makes it more embarrassing how frequently it repeats itself. It’s one thing to have to repeat the same point to pad out a 20-page paper, but not being able to think of anything else to say for 650 words?

- Comment on Is there an actual picture of Mohamed or painting that we can view? Without pissing off all of Islam? 3 weeks ago:
There are no surviving depictions of Muhammad made during his lifetime. Although there are surviving descriptions of Muhammad’s appearance, these are not detailed enough to create a perfectly accurate image of him. Because of this, no image of Muhammad can be perfectly accurate, meaning that any image that purports to represent him is, in some way or another, deceptive.
That’s quite a contrast with White Jesus.

Yeah, I still can’t quite believe that I got 2x32 of 6400CL32 for $135 late last year. I had ordered 6000CL30 for $190, but it was taking a long time to ship, and then I saw the deal and cancelled the old order. Used up all my luck for this decade.

I’m all in favor of smart appliances… as long as they don’t connect to the Internet. Give me a local HomeAssistant integration. That way, I can check what’s in my refrigerator from my bed without worrying about it showing me ads.
