    I feel it's vitally important for the whole crypto space to move away from mining before more damage is done to our supply chains, power grids, and environment.

    Edit: since I keep seeing it over and over again in the comments, Yes, there are other cryptocurrencies that have no mining. Not all crypto is evil, and I do think some of it will play a part in a very cool future. But until then, mining will continue to be problematic.

    Will Exascale supercomputers (Frontier, Aurora, El Capitan etc.) start to push against the limits of 64-bit registers? Would developing a 128-bit ISA make sense if it's only for that use-case?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2021 06:30 AM PST

    Theoretically, 64-bit processors can address up to 16 exabytes of memory. That's nowhere close to anything consumers would need anytime soon, obviously, but given that last year announced several exascale computing projects, well, it seems to me like it's not that far off that somebody on Earth might need that much RAM? Even if it's only to predict the weather or design new medications or whatever.

    The issue is though, I don't think 64-bit architectures became super widespread until the consumer market, with x86 PCs, started hitting up against the limits of 4 GB of RAM. Before then, while 64-bit computers existed, they were limited to a handful of supercomputers only. They didn't really trickle down into even the server market back then. Itanium, for example, was hardly widespread.

    While RISC-V left room for a 128-bit ISA, IIRC they never actually. Defined it. Or did any actual work on it. And I'm not sure how x86, ARM or POWER would go about moving to 128-bit addressing. But won't we end up needing that much by the time our supercomputers are, say, Zettascale? Even if it's only for those supercomputers?

    Video Review - Comparison of 1660 GPUs

    Posted: 07 Feb 2021 09:29 PM PST

    Hello Reddit,

    The video card market has turned into quite an ordeal with a shortage of GPUs, work from home hardware upgrade needs, and record high crypto values causing miners to take available stock. Because of this, I wanted to provide some information on cards that are still relatively available on the second hand market, and even new-old stock from major retailers. The 16-series cards offer great value at a (somewhat) reasonable price. This video will look at the MSI Ventus XS, The PNY XLR8, the EVGA SC Gaming, and the Gigabyte Windforce X2 1660-series.

    As I am able to find more cards, I will continue to make more videos and show their features and differences.

    Please check it out and let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

    PWM free backlit Keyboard

    Posted: 07 Feb 2021 08:15 PM PST

    It is a well-known fact that a low-frequency PWM backlight on a monitor causes some people to get eyestrain/headache.

    Why is no one talking about the backlight of keyboards? I use my computer with lights turned off and get a headache whenever I turn on the backlight from my keyboard due to the low-frequency PWM.
