so @Lapsus figured out what heatsink this is. It's an actual product that was sold, not their custom thing (though the fan mount IS custom, they made their own aluminum bracket for it)
It's a Swiftech MCX478-V (or very similar, since that one is designed for a Pentium 4, and this is a Intel Core (non-duo)

That's why we evolved a "pattern finding" brain. Because there's patterns in the world, and recognizing them is useful.
Anyway, I think of those pigeons, spinning in place, perhaps praying to some God of Food Pellets they invented, and how they don't know there's no pattern and all there actions are meaningless. The cruel scientist man built this game so you can't win, and worse: you don't know you can't win, so you have to keep trying.

@deshipu@fosstodon.org I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Frankenstein, is in fact, Frankenstein's monster, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Frankenstein plus Monster. The Monster is not a Frankenstein unto itself, but rather another uncontrolled creation of a fully reckless dr Frankenstein made alive by the power of lightning, poorly thought out science and vital human organs harvested at the local morgue.

I left a comment at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Prompt_engineering#Neutral_point_of_view. Please *please* don't spam the thread with +1s and absolutely don't harass folks there.
If you have useful resources to add, though, by all means please do so. I greatly appreciate the help from folks who are deeper in this than I am.

TIL that the Wikipedia page on "prompt engineering" is an absolute disaster of AI hype.
I am this close to starting an NPOV discussion.

OH: I love the way the French are so perverted about cheese
Or as JP in the linked post mentioned, Ursula K Le Guin's definition of technology: "what we can learn to do"
Technology is not machines, it's the "application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals", so it could involve machines, but may as well not
LB: As Wikipedia defines it, Technology is the application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals, especially in a reproducible way.
