As another DDR5 user, it’s not always this bad - there’s a bios setting that makes it remember the previous configuration and skips this step, but sometimes it still needs to do it, and then it can take a minute or two

I agree with you - I think my main issue is that using LLMs to write code is a crutch, and over time the quality of software will decrease because it will be made by a program perfected to generate the most likely next word, rather than understanding what it’s doing. If anything, having a basic understanding of LLMs makes me trust them less.

As a Linux gamer with a Ryzen cpu, I think it’s likely just a correlation of people who are more tech-oriented, as windows and intel are essentially the “default” options for most computers you can buy, and the same (mostly) enthusiast circles that use Linux overlap heavily with those who build their own computers and may be more informed about hardware options, and how Ryzen has been beating Intel on price/performance essentially since launch

Of course, it makes perfect sense… they want the good publicity of saying they have ethics oversight, but don’t actually give them authority because it would prevent them from doing what they want to do (and know might be unethical)
