#Overcommitment
There had to have been a viable compromise. Let us do as many convos as we can, then pick up to five “active,” bonuses?

Not to sound too Awakening baby, but skills have this overcommitment problem too IMO.

if you ask me, we were careening toward a tangle with fascism at some point in the next decade after 2016 anyway

overcommitment to neoliberal economic orthodoxy in both major parties, but in a mostly socially liberal culture, is a recipe for failure in the ~right wing party before the ~left one

What do folks think about partitioning hypervisors (that's where the exact host resources are divided up, so each CPU is linked to exactly one guest, no overcommitment)?

It provides more isolation than a typical hypervisor and is more flexible than bare metal. I think those are settled facts.

100%, I think this is the core problem, a lot of the friendship decay and discussions of it are usually portrayed and presented in a way where it's usually like "all or nothing"- situation, which I admit has in a way or another skewed my views too, I realize I have a tendency for overcommitment

RCTS: AI Henry used an exploitative question & tone from 1314 bonus rm endpoint after last entry, "how is the military going to make any money w/o you?" Ref to Flightline.top, & prior overcommitment from USAF twd PaperBound brand alignment. Red flag is USAF side hustle.

Having time to create and having the ENERGY to create are two very different things. Today's post: protecting your creative energy from decision fatigue, social media, comparison, —and sometimes just admitting you've got nothing left.
Also: solitaire. 😂

Pick 1️⃣ thing, and show up consistently.

Tech-enabled FOMO-fueled overcommitment is not allowing anyone to experience anything. It’s making us miserable.

Pick 1️⃣ thing you care about that’s already happening. Go to those events. Show up & make those people your people. Be there, every time, for them

CPU overcommitment is intentional. Most VMs don't use 100% CPU simultaneously. Hypervisors schedule vCPUs across physical cores. 4:1 ratio is normal. 10:1 without monitoring is reckless.

no one will buy the crandle (cranberry candle) I spent $40 on just to make a simpsons joke last christmas, so it just lives on my shelf and I’m forced to stare at this dumb overcommitment to a bit every day

RCTS: conf call audible at 1314 bonus rm wall indic "they were trying to buy you off" in ref to PaperBound & prior overcommitment from @cityofnormanok entities. The response came from AI Henry to 3rd party, in my stolen likeness, & tied to "resolving things off to the side."

The pendulum swings back and forth, PS was overzealous and went way too risk-on with their live-service. The overcommitment didn't pay off, now they are in super risk-averse mode even though this is suppose to be the spiritual successor to Metal Gear and not Death Stranding again.
You know Sony is done with any goodwill when they don't even want a Kojima game anymore.

Me with my overcommitment issues, but mine aren’t as cute!

I think it was the tone-deaf and defensive bit at the start that put me on edge and took what could have just been overcommitment to the bit and made it not good

A full calendar isn't always evidence of a meaningful life.
Sometimes it's evidence of weak boundaries.
If this commitment were tomorrow, would I still say yes?
That question has saved me from more overcommitment than any productivity app.

Saying no is not a personality trait. It is a decision you make before the request owns your week.

to be clear I think it is going very badly for them, but there's not an overcommitment save in interceptors, which are a reactive supply rather than something planned. there's almost no ground forces in theater

i don't at all see it. there's such a grotesque overcommitment of resources that would be make-or-break for any great power conflict, and the comprehensive pantsing of the US's allies in the gulf has been terrible for cohesion and is likely to create actual, unpluggable theater logistic holes

Pakistan’s growing Gulf role is a strategic opportunity, but overcommitment could trap it in conflicts beyond its interests.

Kuwait’s growing defence cooperation with Pakistan does not mean abandoning the United States. It represents diversification—adding Pakistan as a burden-sharing security partner within an increasingly multipolar Gulf security architecture.

I've overburdened myself with my overcommitment to lineart and shading and worrying about too much detail in my anatomy and I just need to find ways to scale back.
I really want to do my best for all my commissioners, but I think I might start playing it a bit loose from here on, if that makes sense

“The vast amounts of time and money spent by our government and the stubborn stick-to-itiveness of its programs and personnel can, in this instance, be an instrument of good rather than a contributor to burgeoning debt, institutional intransigence, and overcommitment of temporal resources.”

Burnout isn't proof you care. It's proof you kept saying yes.

Nobody remembers the person who collapsed from overcommitment. They remember the one who finished.

Do less. On purpose. That's the whole game.

Excited to announce I will be having my crashout the old fashioned way…

Absolutely no AI, just mounting professional overcommitment, an R&R are due in ~10 days, the start of the semester, dealing with a mycotic kitten, a solo apartment move, persistent underpay, and generalized burnout!

When I took on too many projects, my team suffered.
Ambition can become greed. I accepted more clients than we could handle. Quality dipped and our reputation took a hit. Saying ‘no’ is a safety strategy.
Set boundaries; overcommitment risks everything.

New Linux kernel patches improve VRAM management for gaming by enabling stable overcommitment. By implementing smarter eviction heuristics and utilizing application priority hints, the system maintains playable performance even when GPU memory capacity is exceeded.
Linux 7.3 improves performance when running out of vRAM (125)
