[cerulean talon]

That, I could see.

[potent arrow]

The i2c interpreter I wrote

Is my favorite thing

[cerulean talon]

Also, if memory serves right, CAN would be slightly nicer for the type of work we do, so we'll never see it.

[potent arrow]

I actually hate it

[cerulean talon]

Probing I2C interfaces with unknown everything is fun. ;3

[potent arrow]

Yeah.....

[cerulean talon]

Totally didn't destroy some vregs doing that.

Still have a sleeve of the replacement chips on my workbench.

[potent arrow]

Rip registers, some embeded engs weeping somewhere

[cerulean talon]

AMD has a fetish for using chips that don't have datasheets in their power supply design. (Thanks IR, y'all really helping)

[potent arrow]

I 3D printed myself pez dispensers for opamps, Schmitt's, shift regs and a few other things

[cerulean talon]

So you can buy the chips, but can't get the datasheets.

[potent arrow]

Because I blow the up so often

[cerulean talon]

Bahahaha.

That pleases me to no end.

Also, I'm annoyed I never considered something like that now.

[potent arrow]

When you are a few integrators in, you start to lose track

(signal conditioning)

[cerulean talon]

Never played w/ them, but my HW design experience is years out of date.

So that's not surprising.

[potent arrow]

Well it's hardware

Nothing has changed

Let's be real

Same concepts, just smaller and more efficient

[cerulean talon]

Sort-of?

Signal conditoning wasn't nearly as much of a concern when your data rate was bps.

Concepts are similar, but the scale of what needs to happen has changed some imo.

The transition to lots of digital signals I think is the biggest change I missed, as I did more with analog, then only some digital processing.

[potent arrow]

It was far more jank back then with analog

[cerulean talon]

Yeah.

[potent arrow]

Oh I barely do DSP

I'm almost purely analog

[cerulean talon]

Interesting.

[potent arrow]

Yeah

Atleast I havnt learnt many dsp concepts

[cerulean talon]

Some day I'll have to get back busy into embedded design, it's been too long.

Not that I don't have a stack of items on that list, but yanno.

[potent arrow]

Yeee

Almost done school and I'll have some real fun in the field

[cerulean talon]

\o/ Seems like it'd be a fun field to get into these days.

The tools and everything are way cooler than when I did my first boards.

[potent arrow]

Still give me an old Tektronix crt oscilloscope

That shit looks cooool

Definitely not fast enough for what I do though

[cerulean talon]

My roomie's got an old portable CRT one, that's like an old military radio style. Looks neat AF, dunno if it works.

[potent arrow]

Don't see why not

Built like tanks

Calibration drifts like a Subaru

[cerulean talon]

If only my subaru would drift more. :3 But you're not wrong.

[potent arrow]

Give me a welder and your diff and I can make it happen

[cerulean talon]

Noplz. I'll get a beater for /that/ level of abuse. :p

[potent arrow]

Lmfaoo

[cerulean talon]

I'd also have to rip out the front diff.

As much as I want to make it RWD.

[potent arrow]

Fuck I just remembered, I have a 49gb pysql database sitting on a USB for that elevator

The table grows.....

[cerulean talon]

I'd make a delete sql reference, but I'm also overhauling a SQL interface right now.

[potent arrow]

I'm so inept at programming beyond C and assembly I cannot be helped

I always love how powerful SQL is

But also how absolutely dog shit it can be

[cerulean talon]

Golang is my goto for everything these days.

And yes, that's 100% correct all day long.

The one I'm working on has some fun quirks.

"fun"

[potent arrow]

Very fun quirks

[cerulean talon]

Mmhmm.

[potent arrow]

Better then DB2

Lorrrrd

[cerulean talon]

Not sure about that.

[potent arrow]

have mercy on me if I ever touch db2 again

[cerulean talon]

This is more ORM weirdness than auctual SQL problems.

I love raw SQL, ORM's make me want to die.

[potent arrow]

OOP anything makes me want to die

[cerulean talon]

Not wrong.

[potent arrow]

But you know

I'm embeded

Oop is out of the equation for me

Huuuge struggle bus

[cerulean talon]

I'm technically a system administrator, so the idea of OOP was difficult when everything resolves to a linear process anwyay.

Your fancy oop abstractions don't mean anything to my CPU core.

[potent arrow]

That's literally what my prof said 🤣🤣🤣

Everyday I get closer to being the world's most inept halfass full stack

[cerulean talon]

There's something to be said for oop, multi-threaded setups, etc, or you can just write good code instead.

I'll never be full stack. UI's are /not/ my thing.

[potent arrow]

With enough coffee and know how, you can definitely delegate multi threaded stuff with c

[potent arrow]

coughs BOOTSTRAP

[cerulean talon]

Sure, I know plenty of people that do.

But that doesn't mean I want to touch it. :p

[potent arrow]

The only thing I havnt learned enough mobile app stuff yet to be really a half ass full stack

[cerulean talon]

Also, I'm so bad at HTML, I can barely make CSS work, much less remember how to use divs properly.

90% of my HTML is bad copy/pastes, unlike the rest of my code which is all neatly hand-crafted.

[potent arrow]

Html is just copying from the bootstrap documention

And writing tags on a sticky note

Using JS for backend is super easy now too

I combine JS and PHP for database stuff and that's it

[cerulean talon]

I've done my share of JS, never again, thanks.

[potent arrow]

But like I said, I'm half ass I know 50% in each category and that's it

[cerulean talon]

I'll stick to Go or Python if I'm not doing it in go.

At this point I almost use golang as a scripting language despite the fact it's compiled.

[potent arrow]

Isn't go just Google C?

I don't think I've poked it much

[cerulean talon]

Sorta-ish. It's designed with more of a pythonic touch.

But it's also designed around the idea that multi-processing and multi-threading should be "easy"

[potent arrow]

Don't hate me, but I really dislike python lol

So many people in my field use it for embeded applications and it's become a huge crutch

[cerulean talon]

It's not for everyone, I like it more than PHP, but that's not saying much. I do hate how it's written usually.

[potent arrow]

PHP

Truly

A dinosaur programming language

[cerulean talon]

MicroPython I assume?

[potent arrow]

Nope straight python

[cerulean talon]

That's on embedded now?

Sheesh.

[potent arrow]

They just use rpi clonese

It's fucking stupid

So much wasted resources

[cerulean talon]

Ah.

So sorta-emebeded.

I always have a hard time if I want to consider a modern SoC as "embedded" or not.

But yeah, that's stupid if people are using that w/ python over some proper uc's.

[potent arrow]

It's become common

I'm sitting here crafting the most memory efficient code

[cerulean talon]

It makes sense, but it annoys me.

[potent arrow]

To fit on a tiny tiny 56kb chip

And it does everything they can do

[cerulean talon]

My clocks are precious, don't waste them.

[potent arrow]

And runs off two double a batteries

For MONTHS

With a nice standby routine

[cerulean talon]

As I sit here and rip out layers of abstraction in this codebase...

Yeeee. That's the good stuff.

[potent arrow]

And these Motherfuckers

Complain they get their designed turned down because it's a rpi zero with a lipo tapped to it

And it's running a full OS and a million python libraries

Like????

[cerulean talon]

What a shocker.

People are bad at designing good code/hardware/etc. :P

[potent arrow]

It's not even that good on my end

It's just some CUBEmx shenanigans

[cerulean talon]

The first time I saw cubemx, I was shocked at how powerful that was.

They put some super cool tricks in there.

Pin reuse by changing the hardware spec? Yesplz.

[odd sand]

That's modern computing though. Most companies prefer the fastest thing to market, no matter how sloppy and inefficient. Even if it's more expensive than a proper embedded solution

[potent arrow]

It's insanely powerful

Most places I've been in want the old fashion way, atleast in my experience

[cerulean talon]

And I can hate that alllll day long. I always prefer to write code that's highly efficient.

[potent arrow]

Tfw I can turn a pin into practically anything is just beautiful

Boom! Suddenly an interupt pin! Oh? I need this to be a direct to reg? Easy

[cerulean talon]

It's completely absurd, and I love it.

[potent arrow]

And now robo time

You know I just realized

You are a kupobot dev

[cerulean talon]

Yarp.

[potent arrow]

[cerulean talon]

That's the codebase I'm working on too.

[potent arrow]

Thats

I hope it's not that bad lol

[cerulean talon]

15 hours so far today.

:3

[potent arrow]

Discord libraries are a doozy

[cerulean talon]

I've got another 2-3 before this refactor is ready to test.

[potent arrow]

Esp. with the new slash shit

[cerulean talon]

We've lightly discussed how to move kupo to /'s .

But uh, that's not gonna be easy.

[potent arrow]

It's not gonna be for anyone

The implementation is half baked

[cerulean talon]

Mostly, yeah.

I think there's enough primitives that you can get /close/

But chaining them properly is gonna be absurd.

[potent arrow]

Hnnng

[cerulean talon]

Not the first time I've done something stupid like that. :P

Though, I really want to consider a new architectural design for discord bots in general, so we'll see if I seriously work on that.

[potent arrow]

Sometimes I feel like I want to write a c++ wrapper for discord api

And then I remember I'm a nonce

[cerulean talon]

Nope, nope nope.

[potent arrow]

LOL

[cerulean talon]

Noooope.

There's so many footguns in that API.

Also, the amount of JSON parsing required would make C++ die.

Netcore would auctually be reasonable.

The golang one is passable-enough.

I just love tracing kupo and seeing us burning 30% of his processing time parsing json.

Thanks discord, for being great and using json over websockets.

There's probally a half-decent netcore one somewhere.

Discord has a pretty good chunk of libs.

[potent arrow]

Dinner time

[cerulean talon]

Time to throw it, and you in the freezer.

Along with all your .net insanity

That, I can't argue.

Hrm, I just ran into a function I prefixed with zzz_

Clearly, I'm doing something stupid.

[modest moss]

Ice gonna secretly rewrite kupo in vb6

Bot you mean

[cerulean talon]

"Helper" "bot"

[modest moss]

Filthy cheat

Ban

Reporting to STF

Deserved

Would you believe I never got jailed in either xi or xiv

[cerulean talon]

You'd love eve bot injection.

[modest moss]

Is there much hacking/botting in eve?

[cerulean talon]

The classic method is to dll hook blue.dll which is essentially a python interpreter, distributed as a dll, so you can access in-game methods directly through an external scripting engine.

[modest moss]

I'm guessing there's automated mining etc

[cerulean talon]

And to an extent, the game is extremely repetitive and grinding most of the time, so botting is unduly rewarded in relative manners.

Mining absolutely, NPC killing absolutely

I worked on a few projects that allowed mass automation for taking out players.

But multi-client sync in that system is difficult.

[modest moss]

So I should reinstall it, bot mining and training for a year and then actually play

[cerulean talon]

Market stuff is where most of the injection frameworks stay away from, sensibly.

Not wrong, highsec mining is really valuable these days after the last round of mining nerfs in null.

[modest moss]

If I do ever play again I'll just never get attached to anything, I'm too old, lazy and shit to be good at games now so I'd definitely get killed a lot if I left safe space

[cerulean talon]

That's sorta eve, you just never get attached to anything you own.

[modest moss]

I used to happily be a tryhard back in my xi days, but now it's the casual life for me

Like in xiv I have all jobs levelled to max but barely do endgame content, just normals for story

[cerulean talon]

XIV is that right kinda game for that sorta casual gameplay loop tho, it rewards both hardcore and casual play.

[modest moss]

Yeah something for everyone

[potent arrow]

Savage and ult raiding is my bread and butter

[cerulean talon]

This is my second tier of savages, and while I'm enjoying it, I'm not enjoying how bad we are at P7S prog. Though I think the rest of the group cleared this past sun.

[deep sapphire]

[potent arrow]

Wait ice while ur here, what's up with the fans again?

Or are they fine

Planning out a new system

Idk for some reason I remembered you saying something about them pegged at a high rpm

[jaunty light]

sarah gettin a 4090 and 7959x3d

[potent arrow]

I actually can

But I'll restrain

Ah so it won't be an issue ice

My case has no windows

Mind as well use new gen parts tbh

I'll use what doesn't sell by the end of this month

[sharp star]

I think the fact that my 4090 is running in the low 60s while being smushed up against the glass is impressive

[jaunty light]

4090 nice and efficient

[odd sand]

Ah nice, you ordered the custom Hyte design huh?

[sharp star]

yep

[sly elk]

that case is adorable lol

idk why but that new hyundai gives me vibes of the original ford focus

oh i see, those hyte cases have hololive streamer avatars

presumably adult characters. i wonder why they went and made hakos belz look 10 lol

[sharp star]

[dusky magnet]

[odd sand]

I think she's a short-stack IRL

The character heights/figure are generally similar to their real life bc it translates more easily to 3D motion tracking. Although you think bust size would be easy to fudge unless they were literally hugging chest to chest in 3D lives heh.

Are there designs now for all of Council? I thought it was just Bae that got the case promo.

[royal forge]

Bae and Kronii

and dxo doesn't have libraries/catalogs like lightroom does

it costs way the fuck more, too

[odd sand]

He just paid $900 for a prebuilt with 11400F with stock cooler, 8gb 1 stick of ram, 3050 ... sigh

[sly elk]

but since you seem fairly liberal with your budgets lol, might wanna try a demo of it

O_O

yiiikes

tbh I've been through this with people I knew before

I've recommended diy builds many times, even happily offering to build it for them if they wanted. nobody has ever taken me up on that offer

admittedly, I haven't been faced with that option in years

because they always want a laptop

[jaunty light]

never used DXO

too used to garbage adobe products to switch

[sly elk]

DXO has amazing noise reduction stuff

[jaunty light]

cant have noise if u just shoot at iso100

[sly elk]

iirc the windows version of acdsee is nice but the mac version is useless for the $$ which is too bad, because they are usually the cheapest. Affinity is also really cheap but it's not a good lightroom clone either

erm

not good for using as a lightroom alternative, like dxo

affinity photo feels like photoshop elements

if that makes any sense

hehe i got the demo of lightroom again for the holidays >> just about to renew and I kinda don't want to

but it's hard to find a good alternative for $99

or rather, I should say, a good easy to use in a hurry alternative

darktable is just as capable as lightroom

capture one's stuff also looks pretty interesting

there's no need for wifi, if you are using ethernet, ethernet is far more superior and required for gaming

wifi for gaming is just wasting the money you use to pay for internet

i kinda wanna play with it a little

[umbral moss]

also, did nobody hop on the 7950X3D hype train yet?

they turned that around mad fast, I didn't expect to see the x3d part until january of next year

fucking 144MB onboard cache, good gravy

[hard drift]

7950x3d is dumb

[umbral moss]

what

[hard drift]

only worth getting the 7900x3d unless you need the extra cores

it's only 4mb more of cache

[umbral moss]

more cores though

[hard drift]

but unless you need them it's moot

[umbral moss]

also, they inadvertently fixed the actual problem with the 7950X by reducing the core clock lmao

[hard drift]

the 7900x3d is the sweetspot

[umbral moss]

look at the difference in the power consumption between the 7950X and X3D

[hard drift]

we'll see once it's actually out i have hope for it

[umbral moss]

I mean, if the scaling AMD claims is to be believed it's something like 20-25% faster than the 5800X3D

so that puts it firmly in the extremely fuckin fast category

and since the 7950 has way more cores it won't eat shit in productivity apps

[hard drift]

yeah, and they only showed the 7800x3d not the 7900x3d which has way more cache than the lesser x3d

[umbral moss]

that's probably why they aggressively slashed the 7950X's price last month, the X3D will probably live in that $799 price point

[hard drift]

it'll be a worthy cpu for a few years like i did with my 3700x

massive gains

[umbral moss]

I mean, if I'm going to end up wasting $500 on a board I'd like the CPU to be equally capable

the 7900/7950 were kind of underwhelming for the price

[hard drift]

500 on a board is just too much

[umbral moss]

yeah, but there aren't many cheap AM5 boards

unless they're like, 1 PCIe slot and nothing else on em

[hard drift]

there are some decent ones it's when you go into the 670E/650E it gets expensive

and idc about gen 5 storage 😐

[umbral moss]

the 670E is kind of the only chipset that matters unless you're going deep budget

I do, the 990 is gen 5

if I'm buying a new PC it better be the fastest you can get so I don't need to touch it for another 6-7 years

[hard drift]

i doubt i'd ever really need gen 5 storage atleast for a long while

considering consoles aren't made for gen 5 and that's what a lot of games will be optimized based on i'll be okay

what we need is nvidia to make reasonable bus widths to their cards aside from just the 90 class

[cerulean talon]

I really want to try some gen 5 storage soon >.>

Not that I need more speed, but I need more speed, yanno?

how hard is this

to install yourself

without electrocuting yourself

taken you turn off

the breaker

[odd sand]

I think it's bc their current offerings kinda fell on their face

Probably in part because people knew they would have the X3D coming and were waiting. But also the high prices...

[umbral moss]

power consumption way out of control, plus kind of middling performance thanks to the thermal throttling

it's not specifically that the x3d's inevitability cannibalized sales, so much as the extra core clock speed doesn't give you enough to justify the extra (stated) 60W power consumption

that's more like 120W under practical use cases

[potent arrow]

@deep sapphire

[odd sand]

Yeah it seems Intel, AMD, and Nvidia all drank the wackazade at the same time

I really don't understand Nvidia's gameplan here over the next 5 years... they historically pushed like 15-30% gains gen-over-gen for like 20 years

Then for the 40 series they decide to oversize the cards to push like 70-80% gains in one gen.

[umbral moss]

probably testing out how far they can push the monolithic design, since the 50 series is supposed to be a chiplet design

[odd sand]

Do they know something we don't and still have huge gains in the wings when pushing into angstrom-tier litho?

Or do they intend to keep trying to gaslight people on synthetic frames == real FPS gains with DLSS?

[umbral moss]

probably a different transistor topology so they're all gearing up for radical changes

[umbral moss]

gaslighting is the way to go

why is it so hard to just put speakers and a bunch of knobs with a real steering wheel

[odd sand]

The irony is, if you just look at performance benchmarks, you're getting a 3090 for $800 which is honestly not a bad deal.

Although the memory bandwidth does kneecap it in 4K a bit.

But they've so badly mismanaged the optics and PR the whole 40 series is kinda radioactive now

Not a bad deal as much as the 30 series MSRPs could be considered "fair" at least.

[umbral moss]

it performs worse than a 3070 in some cases lmao

[odd sand]

Less than 10 years ago I had a GTX 770 for like $280 and now they want $800-900 for a 70 series card. Whatadeal

to be fair, inflation has shot up almost the same between now and then

[modest moss]

slight exaggeration there

[umbral moss]

did they zero out the last two years of price squeezes?

[modest moss]

I dunno I just searched inflation calculator

https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

[odd sand]

How much you want to bet the 4060 will be 549 or 599?

[umbral moss]

inflation in the last two years has been completely fucked, between price squeezes and direct M2 supply

[umbral moss]

$600 for sure

the 4050 needs to exist at $450-500

[modest moss]

4050 should be fucking 200

shush

[deep sapphire]

Not anymore

[hard drift]

too good for you so you won't use it?

[dull garnet]

the newest game hank plays is deus ex

[deep sapphire]

LOL

[dull garnet]

don't remind me that square bought eidos

[hard drift]

i refuse to buy anybody anything

[jaunty light]

bido promised me a 7950x3d

[hard drift]

i couldn't care less about what hank uses, it affects him not me lol

[hard drift]

i didn't promise you shit

[jaunty light]

i quote bido verbatim "there will not be a 7950x3d, if there is I will buy you one"

[hard drift]

lmao no, i said it'd be extremely pointless to make it

and i still stand by that the 7900x3d is way better value unless you need the extra cores, 4mb of cache isn't worth 300 extra

[jaunty light]

dont try to get out of this, we got you dead to rights

[hard drift]

😒 that's BS

[hard drift]

the only thing that i was wrong about is "Can't claim what doesn't exist" since it will now exist

just to claim it you better cough up the money

[jaunty light]

ill see wat pricing is

[hard drift]

it'll likely be around 800

hell, there's no reason why they can't price it around 1k

intel has literally nothing on them for gaming performance with x3d

13900ks for 2% extra fps at the cost of way more power and cost

[modest moss]

Please stop buying things

[jaunty light]

money is the root of evil and we must cleanse it from our possession

[hard drift]

[modest moss]

I'm just trying to save you from yourself

[hard drift]

it'll be a great buy

[modest moss]

He already has an amazing rig

[hard drift]

sure but that doesn't mean people aren't hobbyists

[modest moss]

Wasting money is his hobby

[hard drift]

some people spend a shit ton on models and such, we spend a ton on tech

[hard drift]

it's not a waste when there is something to gain

[modest moss]

[hard drift]

i don't have work today

plus i was already at work today lol

a trg22 is also acceptable

[modest moss]

Idk what this is but knowing you it's a few grand that I don't have so it's probably a no

[hard drift]

it's a rifle

[umbral moss]

it's one of the best bolt rifles ever made, to be more specific

[hard drift]

😒

[umbral moss]

the TRG42 is what the CS awp wishes it was

it's genuinely chambered in .338 lapua and has incredible long-range accuracy

(the actual awp, as pictured in all CS games, is chambered in 7.62x51mm, not .338 lapua and it's something that annoys me every time I see that god damned rifle)

[dull garnet]

https://videocardz.com/newz/palit-announces-maker-project-3d-printable-custom-plates-for-geforce-rtx-40-gamingpro-gpus pretty neat concept

[sly elk]

i like the idea

[hard drift]

hope other aibs follow this

[bitter girder]

That’s actually a really fun idea

[hard drift]

yeah, and the fact that they made it possible for smaller printers and such

especially when a lot of people complain "these cards look tacky af" or whatever

it allows uniqueness

[sly elk]

sapphire used to sell cards with swappable shrouds

this is even better i suppose xd

[hard drift]

i know powercolor did the magnetic shroud thing on this gen of cards but pretty sure it was a limited run

[dreamy chasm]

that's actually really fucking cool

i can't wait to see what people do with this

actual card innovation for once

[hard drift]

ikr

[sly elk]

lol I like how black magic calls their pocket cinema camera's sensor a "full-size 4/3 sensor"

shhh it's not full-frame

[odd sand]

Aren't there two sizes to APS though?

[jaunty light]

theres a few to aps

but 4/3 small

so idk what they are saying 4/3 is "Full size" to

[jaunty light]

damn ed ur a nerd. but fr im not paying $7500 for one

[sly elk]

they're trying to scam people shopping for a full-frame camera

I figured it wasn't full frame because it was a $1300 video camera

there's just no way

look at sony

they took the a7iii and added an S and called it a video cam and charged $3k for it 😛

err wait does it even

the s uses a lower megapixel sensor?

I'm annoyed at the options for a new camera that does a good job at video lol

like I can get an a7c or a7iii that does a poor job at video in what I'd consider my budget

or I can get a GH4/GH5
hmm how about an s5....

at least the s5 isn't 4/3

[jaunty light]

the S is diff

i wouldnt buy a gh5 these days honestly

depends on how much u care about AF actually working

a7iii will be more than enough for amateur. wouldnt rec the a7iv

[sly elk]

yea an a7iv would be nice but a nice lens for these is like $800, no>

[jaunty light]

but on that note you are going to have to deal with obtuse sony menus and no flip screen on the a7iii

a7iv will overheat for video

[sly elk]

ahhh that sucks

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1658157-REG/tamron_a063_28_75mm_f_2_8_di_iii.html

i was reading some threads about affordable sony lenses and this was mentioned

[jaunty light]

thats E btw not FE

[sly elk]

well

shit 😄

thanks for pointing that out

[jaunty light]

GM lenses are $14-$3000

[sly elk]

but yeeaa I'm pretty sure if I go full frame

i'd go with an a7c or an a7iii

[jaunty light]

ye idk for any new systems. could check the gh5 2 but its 4/3 so massively less valuable (to me), the S5 (which is expensive), and the S1H (which is.. even more expensive)...

[sly elk]

4/3 bodies are sooo expensive for what they are lol

but it kinda makes sense

the $1500-2k 4/3 cameras have some of the feature sets the $3-5k full-frames do

[jaunty light]

i could never go back to 4/3 with the way the focal lengths work

be at the club with my 10mm lens trying to fit myself into the walls because its like 30mm on full frame

[royal forge]

anyone tried animated wallpapers?

[sly walrus]

eh

too distractin

That's disgusting

I'm getting a bluetooth adapter tomorrow since my only working micro-USB cable has a broken connector

[jaunty light]

i needa figure out why my receiver is all fucky

razer one works flawlessly so idk

[sharp star]

I have phased out all but two Logitech products

a pair of speakers and a G600

[sly walrus]

i still have that $30 usb controller they put out

[burnt swallow]

I have a Razer Barracuda X headset, Razer Naga Trinity mouse and Apex SteelSeries 5 hybrid mechanical keyboard

[jaunty light]

only got the GPX, other than 400/403/305/518

[burnt swallow]

My mouse was acting up a while ago and I was trying to find myself a G600 but then it stopped acting up

[sly elk]

they ARE obnoxious as shit

the whole

'your 50mm is as good as anyone else's 25mm' shit

when stuff like the a7c exists i'm not sure why anyone would spend >$1k for a m43 camera

unless they're doing video and can't afford a full frame video camera

[jaunty light]

a7c is basically just a smaller a7iii

[sly elk]

i get the impression the kit lens sucks

[jaunty light]

its not good

sony and nikon are by far the best mirrorless systems for LL

[sly elk]

i mean

an f<2.0 lens on just about anything should be good at low light lol

i'm still puzzled why you're having trouble with your aps-c

but i bet if i used my m43 in the same situation it'd be terrible, too

because the iso you're talking about

😮 I never go that high

like for me iso1600 is scandalous

but I am using a like 12 year old camera body

oh 10 years old*

and it used a really really good m43 sensor

-salutes olympus for using the same sensor in damn near all their cameras-

the om-d e-m5, e-pm2, e-pl5 all use the same 16mp sony sensor \

[potent arrow]

Buy my shit a6000 please

Give me an excuse to upgrade

tons of dead spots on the sensor and free extra crunchy emount

[sly elk]

i bought my brother a nikon a long time ago

hmm

i think it was this

very pretty little camera, took great pictures lol

[potent arrow]

I need more monitor spaaace

lmfao huuush

All I do is raid

All I do is both

I have so much fucking materia that's gonna be used and sold on patch day

[cerulean talon]

There's no such thing as enough monitor space. There's always a need for more. :D

actually yeah maybe I should get a third monitor for funsies

[cerulean talon]

I am an omnicrafter

[cerulean talon]

As someone who loves raytracing, death to AMD GPU's.

[dull garnet]

if I were buying rn i'd get a 6700 XT no cap

more vram and slightly better raster performance vs my 3060 ti

[potent arrow]

My 3060ti is surprising a none issue rn for me

Compared to the rest of my system

[dull garnet]

same, i just mean in the context of buying right now and what is available and for what price

3060 ti (when available at nvidia) is £380 vs 6700 xt for £400

[lost python]

maybe someday when actually proper raytracing, that you actually notice while playing, exists in more games without eating 60%+ of my fps

[cerulean talon]

I have a problem, it's called "Control" and that raytraced is just too good.

[lost python]

thats one game yes

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I want it in more. :P

But control is good enough I keep wanting it. Also, AMD needs more vram to be considered viable for my setups.

[lost python]

i can think of like two others where its noticably different during gameplay. i just wish more devs would hyperfocus less on reflections and put more work into global illumination

[lost python]

they have more vram than nvidia though?
aside from the top tier cards which are equal

[cerulean talon]

6900xt is still a 16g card.

[lost python]

7900xtx is not

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, that's auctually a considerating for my move.

But I'm on a 3090ti atm, so I'm not going anywhere.

But yes, the newest AMD cards are finally getting reasonable levels of VRam.

[lost python]

maybe someday prices normalize again and nvidia stops being dumb, so i can actually buy them again and feel good about it

[cerulean talon]

I don't feel good about it, but they drive my 4k monitors the best.

So they get my money. :P

[dull garnet]

nvidia vram amounts are kind of a joke if you're looking below the 3090/Ti

3080 has less than a 1080 Ti

[lost python]

and finally catching up with rtx. still a generation behind, but its better than before

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, we've been talking about this in another discord I'm in, that deals with those types of low-level opts, the 7xxx series is gonna be interesting.

Though I'm not a fan of the changes to the vbios in this generation for AMD.

[sharp star]

Tie, Tee Eye, potato, potahto

(also naming schemes)

[cerulean talon]

They're not /that/ bad. :P

I like the current set better than the RX vega line insanity. 56/64/pro? I think was that setup.

When you also had the 470-490 and 570-590 RX cards.

Oh, frontier edition was the pro one.

Right.

That entire line of cards was wildly fun tho

[dull garnet]

member the radeon vii

[sharp star]

I think the GT 430/630/730/1030 were worse

[dull garnet]

good for mining and uhhhhhhh

[cerulean talon]

You probally used a miner a close friend of mine wrote. :P

AMD cards were kings of mining for so long.

[dull garnet]

dat hbm

[cerulean talon]

Mmhmm.

[dull garnet]

radeon vii did like twice the hash rate of my 3060 ti

[cerulean talon]

Monero was absurd on them, because it was, at that time, memory bandwidth hard.

So the RX vegas were running rampant w/ HBM.

[potent arrow]

Mmm

I just tried out a 144hz monitor

Back to 60hz rofl

[dull garnet]

60 hurts xdddd

[sharp star]

60 is weird for me

30 I'm fine with for some games

[potent arrow]

Anything more then 60 my eyes go crossed

[sly walrus]

at a cost of “not as bad as a 4080”

no

[hard drift]

i think they're just going based on price hikes vs previous gen

but it's still horrible lol

nvidia needs to drop pricing and then slot in a 4080 ti at the 1200 price point already 😐

[sly walrus]

graphics cards should be $1

[cerulean talon]

I won't go 1$, but they should be more reasonable than they are now.

[hard drift]

last gen pricing + 100 at most

[cerulean talon]

I wouldn't go that route either, IMO, they need to be reasonable to what their auctual parts costs are.

I also thoroughly beleive that the crypto insanity damaged that industry forever, and keep hoping someone new will pop up.

[sharp star]

right now the 4080 12GB 4070 Ti is about as powerful as the 3080

[hard drift]

in the end they still need to make a profit, if they're selling at around what their parts cost it's probably going to be a loss

for prices to start going down we need nvidia to go chiplet since monolithic is getting too expensive

[cerulean talon]

AMD's going that route already, Nvidia likely isn't far behind.

[hard drift]

yeah, and amd can probably afford to drop prices and should

[cerulean talon]

My gut reaction says we're gonna have some weirdly sized chiplets.

[hard drift]

i mean that's fine as long as it drives cost down

[cerulean talon]

As a developer on them, it's weird. :P

[hard drift]

it's fine

[cerulean talon]

It's already weird thinking about having the same code executing in multiples of 64 only

:D

Dunno, I feel like chiplet GPU's are gonna be way harder than chiplet CPU's due to the way data is accessed and managed on them.

[hard drift]

i mean, they're for sure capable of figuring it out

[cerulean talon]

I'll also take "More fabs plz" from ASML, and "Can someone please compete with TSMC" thanks.

[hard drift]

amd did it nvidia can surely do it too

[cerulean talon]

Oh yeah, no question, I just think it's gonna be harder than it seems at first glance.

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-7000x3d-cpus-can-be-distinguished-by-a-new-box-lower-tjmax-temperature-confirmed hopefully the new tdps make them not run like the sun

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, right.

[hard drift]

well this is amds like 2 or 3rd gen of chiplet gpus so we'll see how long it takes nvidia

[cerulean talon]

Probally a decade. >.>

[hard drift]

lol

[cerulean talon]

Which is fine, if they fall behind, people will move.

[hard drift]

the mindshare is slowly collapsing

[cerulean talon]

I need to see how the 7xxx series cards are doing this time around, now that they auctually have a little vram.

[hard drift]

the 4070 ti is a huge nail in the coffin at its price

[cerulean talon]

Nvidia also can't ride the ETH wave anymore, so.

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-rtx-4080-noctua-gpu-pictured-some-more-with-its-4-3-slot-thick-cooler jesus christ.... 4.3 slots 😭

[cerulean talon]

That's noctua tho.

You know they went for quiet over raw perf.

[sharp star]

the 4070 Ti died months ago when it was first announced

[hard drift]

that's still fucking huge

[cerulean talon]

All notctua coolers are huge.

That's just how it be.

Not like you're gonna use any of the other PCIe slots.

[hard drift]

yeah and the fact that a 70 class is valued at 100 dollars less than the "80" class it was going to be

people need to open their eyes

[hard drift]

i do though

[cerulean talon]

I mean, I do too, but at that point, I'm not buying a noctua card either.

[sharp star]

https://www.alphacool.com/shop/radiators/radiators/360-mm/12877/alphacool-nexxxos-monsta-360mm-radiator yeah but what about this rad

[hard drift]

"Noctua confirmed that the RTX 4080 will be equipped with two NF-A12x25 brown and beige fan. A large diameter of the fans and custom made vapor chamber will ensure that the card remain the quietest RTX 4080 on the market with typical temperatures not exceeding 61.7°C, the company claims."

62 max temp

https://www.icegiantcooling.com/products/prosiphon-elite

[cerulean talon]

Here, have something even bigger than a noctua. :D

[hard drift]

i'm waiting for gen 2

[cerulean talon]

There's one on my old 5950x.

[hard drift]

it's coming this year

[cerulean talon]

Great cooler tho.

Also, is it?

[hard drift]

they're working on a copper baseplate version which works even better and a liquid cooler that doesn't need a pump

[cerulean talon]

Oooooh. I likey.

[hard drift]

the copper plate version was already shown off with splave

[cerulean talon]

I didn't have anywhere near the room in this build, so I just slapped an AIO on, but I'll have to keep an eye out for the next one.

[hard drift]

https://youtu.be/PeQX1uhb0iQ oh, LTT has a video too

[cerulean talon]

Eh, I don't watch LTT>

[sharp star]

Oh I checked the prices of the non-X Zen 4 SKUs

ridiculous that it's $70-120 for a letter

[hard drift]

here's the basic

considering the thing failed originally for the non copper

[cerulean talon]

Not bad.

[cerulean talon]

I need that sweet, sweet unlocked chip tho.

[hard drift]

they're already unlocked it's amd not intel

[cerulean talon]

Not entirely.

[hard drift]

yeah, but you can get extremely close with tweaking

[cerulean talon]

Ye.

[hard drift]

also here's the splave results

[cerulean talon]

Don't get me wrong, not worth it for 99% of cases, but nor is buying massively overlcocked ram, breaking out ryzentweaker, and binning ramsticks.

[real edge]

air cooling is fine in 99% of cases

get a beefy cooler like the ak620 or deep rock pro 4 or whatever

you are set up for all cpus

[cerulean talon]

Also true.

Tbh, in general noctuas work fine for cooling just abut anything, it's just weird cases they don't play well.

[real edge]

ofc a noctua will not 5ghz all core a 13900k or whatever

it depends on how hot the chip is

but

all amd cpus on eco mode with the cooler are fine

will OC well cause eco mode disables some bs that amd put

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, but if you're buying k's, x's, etc, you generally are gonna OC the hell out if it.

The 5950x I had was 125w nominal, it was regularly pulling 300w before I retired that machine.

In general tho, if you're using the chips the way they were designed, even OEM coolers will usually handle the worst of it.

[hard drift]

begone

[dull garnet]

lets face it most people buy aio because they like the ~aesthetics~

[cerulean talon]

Also, technically, most server CPU's run without "direct" fans >.>

Even past that, there's DC's like switch which have so much throough-rack airlfow you can entirely go without fans, and just let the passive sinks deal with it.

[hard drift]

i mean yes but they also don't run in a small crowded ass form factor with potential for liquid damage like sarah

[cerulean talon]

Shhhh, that's what makes it enjoyable >.> The risk is the fun part!

[hard drift]

it'll be okay once sarah takes it apart to make it a 7950x3d machine or whatever it will be fixed hopefully

[cerulean talon]

fixed -never-

if sarah doesn't fix it despite taking it apart...

Lay off on my 3900x will ya

[hard drift]

i'm not an amd shill, i would go intel if they brought something that could beat x3d

[hard drift]

i'm a whatever is best bang for my buck person

[sly elk]

i think that's the way to go

but I admit

I'm a "whichever is prettier to me" person

[hard drift]

[modest moss]

bidori is lying

[hard drift]

why do you think i keep asking for a 4080 ti 😐

[modest moss]

@deep sapphire bidori is trying to say he's not an amd shill

[hard drift]

and to make it the 1200 dollar price

[modest moss]

Hank will be here to mute you shortly

[hard drift]

that's fine

while he's at it please kick me 😭

in other news, amds new box design for x3d looks nice

intels old box design probably did lol

the dodecahedron thing or whatever it was

it'll be covered by my cooler so i won't see it

not to mention i'd be dumb not to buy it vs anything else

the gains are just too great

[deep sapphire]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[hard drift]

it was a joke 😭

[deep sapphire]

Bidori my friend works at AMD

I’ll ask him to get you a job but you gotta move to Austin Texas

[hard drift]

i am not qualified 😐

[deep sapphire]

Sure you are you never stop talking about AMD!

[hard drift]

also hell no, texas is awful

[deep sapphire]

I bet you’ve never even been there lmao

[hard drift]

i have smh

i lived there not too long ago

[deep sapphire]

Everywhere you go sucks

[hard drift]

😐

[deep sapphire]

Besides I bet your ass lived at ft hood

Ofc it’s bad

[hard drift]

LMFAO

we did live near it

but yeah, i don't like texas either way

[deep sapphire]

Yeah ft hood is like the ghetto military

Lmao

[hard drift]

everywhere in texas is a ghetto

[deep sapphire]

Autism is super liberal

Omg

Lmao

[deep sapphire]

Austin!

[hard drift]

i know lmfao

[deep sapphire]

That’s the most unfortunate typo I’ve ever made

I’m crying rn

🤣🤣🤣

[hard drift]

#cancelhank2023

[deep sapphire]

Fuckin phone

[hard drift]

lmao

that was great

best screenshot moment ever

[dull garnet]

"typo"

big apple at work frfr

[deep sapphire]

frfr

[hard drift]

meanwhile hank has still kept the typo instead of correcting it

[deep sapphire]

I am atoning for my mistake

Gonna pin it

[hard drift]

LMAO

the admins are going to warn you

[deep sapphire]

Good

[sly elk]

lol

[potent arrow]

I found a titan Z in my basement looking for parts

what the fuck

[sly elk]

and here's how hank loses his blue text

[potent arrow]

Back into the box of shame you go

[sly elk]

yea seriously wtf

why do you have a titan z

ahh so BMW is doing subscriptions now in the US

[hard drift]

so a one time fee on top of a subscription.... that's stupid

[sly elk]

the article explained it's a one time fee or a subscription in those cases

but other options have no one-time-fee option

[hard drift]

ah okay

yeah, that's dumb

although you could get 3rd party parts for it

[sly elk]

i wonder what kinda logic is being applied for the dash cam

like I gfet paying a fee for anything cloud based

but why does the 'driver recorder' need to be cloud based

[hard drift]

the fact that it helps you with insurance or some shit probably

[lime wasp]

Anyone know what case this is?

[lime wasp]

Okay but do you have one without the fish?

[fair parcel]

Give me that tank

[hard drift]

pretty sure it's not out yet, it's part of the "amd advantage" thing

the screen is probably a mod

[lime wasp]

I see. Thanks.

It actually looks pretty cool, and if had decent thermals I might consider it.

[hard drift]

we'll see when they come out

[lime wasp]

Man I wanna keep to ITX builds.

Even this MATX case I have is a little big for my desk and tastes right now.
The problem is that CPUs and GPUs keep getting warmer and warmer and bigger.
AM5 and 13th Gen practically demand a 360mm Radiator.

[hard drift]

they don't demand it you just need to adjust the curve and such

plus the new x3d parts for am5 will be a lower tdp

so it's slightly better

[lime wasp]

I hope they're not as impossible to get as the 5800x3D was

[hard drift]

probably will be for a while

unless you have a microcenter that is

[lime wasp]

Like that thing was available at first, then people found out how good it was for gaming and it goddamn disappeared

[lime wasp]

I live in Vermont

We have a moose, maple syrup, snow and depression and that is about it.

[hard drift]

[dreamy chasm]

you always could not run them like the sun

just had to limit wattage

[hard drift]

yeah i know

and i have no problem with that

in the end, the gains vs my 3700x will be massive

[lime wasp]

I feel like limiting the wattage on parts kinda defeats the purpose no?

Because if you limit the power you kneecap it and basically downgrade it.

(Or in the case of my last two GPUs just make them not work period.)

[hard drift]

not true, there's a point where the gains don't outweigh the powerdraw

here's an example

yes there's performance left out but depending on your use case, you might not be losing out on much

[lime wasp]

Hmm.

Maybe I'm just bias from trying to undervolt my last two GPUs and having it be abysmal failure.

[hard drift]

gpus are different that cpus though

and even with gpus, there's a point where it drops off a cliff for gains vs powerdraw

[jaunty light]

actually kinda dece looking

[hard drift]

ikr

[lime wasp]

It looks nice, but I'm wondering about airflow and if the GPU is able to be set far enough back from the glass

[hard drift]

most of the time you're fine

not to mention... are you really doing vertical mounting?

[lime wasp]

I feel like those kinds of cases are meant for vertical mounting

[hard drift]

i mean sure, but it's still based on use case

some like vertical, some like horizontal

[lime wasp]

And in my case since since I mostly do SFF vertical mount is the only mount
