it gets even funnier though
I asked ANL if Aurora is expected to take the lead over Frontier in the Top500 upon completion. "There's a contractual target number that is faster than Frontier," a representative responded
so intel might have to pay fines if they cant fix that

HP REALLY loves to make intel suffer ig
ashen spindle
I dont think HP can even come close to fuck up as much as intel did on the project
ashen spindle
the contractual goals were with intel for a system that was suppoed to run in 2018 
old marlin
lol
ashen spindle
In 2013 DOE presented their exascale vision of one exaFLOP at 20 MW by 2020.[5] Aurora was first announced in 2015 and to be finished in 2018
6 years later they get (almost)2 EF for >40MW
gusty kiln
Aurora more like A rough one
ashen spindle
but on the other hand once its running its the best deal argone could have made
because intel had to basically write off the entire system due to missed targets
and who doesnt like a free supercomputer

only negative about el capitan missing is AMD cant claim number one and two on the rankings in time for computex xD

who cares I don't make a habit of standing in direct sunlight when using my tablets
astral haven
yea but if it can only hold it for a minute, thats worse than the iphone
lyric hatch
yeah but who does this affect?
astral haven
depends on the brightness it drops down to
if it drops to 600 like i would expect from that peak brightness adaptive brightness off number, it would probably be a problem compared to lcds in a skylight lit room
astral haven
normal
but shocker adding a turbo boost oled layer allows you to brute force your brightness up to a standard lcd level
i dont think anyone could have seen this coming -_-
lyric hatch
well outside of bright enviroments the OLED beats it in every other way so 🤷♂️
astral haven
sure, but its still funny how it uses dual layer oled to match samsung oled
and considering its using dual layer oled to match samsung oled, its probably not samsung oled, and so far apple is zero for 2 on getting a good second source for their phone oleds
lyric hatch
wasn't the iphone 15 pro the first phone to use the new samsung panels?
when it came out it was like 500nits brighter than anything else on the market at the time
astral haven
"first"
"new"
apple skipped a generation between 14 and 15 but that only put them up to last generation, they are still 1 generation behind samsung and 2 generation behind the chinese (samsung lets others beta test the panels before their flagships)
actually hmm im not finding a chinese phone with a better display than the 24u
lyric hatch
apple tried to go with BOE but they had issues with the display and dropped them
at least that's the rumour
astral haven
is that a rumor or is that the news from a few years back recirculating
astral haven
yea seems that samsung is picking up the slack for the t3 supplier, and hopefully lg doesnt screw them up this time, otherwise it will be back to all samsung
lyric hatch
samsung display does make nice panels
astral haven
yea if only samsung electronics would put those panels on more than just the high end phones -_-
rough osprey
actually hmm im not finding a chinese phone with a better display than the 24u
does 24u already do 5000nits?

nah, but unfortunately none do yet
im pretty sure samsung was bssing about 3k nits, no its 2400

the chinese manufacturers are much further out to lunch with their figures

no one doing peak brightness tests?

people do peak brightness tests, but most manufacturers cheat in peak brightness
much better to do high ambient light tests, because theres no cheating that (at least not practically)

@umbral heron when will linux be good
umbral heron
Define good 
fair gull
usable by any and every layman as if it was windows/macos
crimson wigeon
Never
smoky frigate
with pop OS, it was there 5 years ago
wheat plume
and Fedora too
most major software has an RPM package for Fedora the same way it has a DEB package for Ubuntu on their websites
so you can do the typical Windows install method of hunting down an installer if you want to
or just use the package manager software instead
rough patrol
I‘d say linux is mostly there, just needs software support from third parties which is hit or miss and will probably always be
Cause some people just hate linux and want nothing to do with it for no rational reason (tim sweeney)
wheat plume
its in an infinite loop
- Users wont use it cause lack of support for their favourite apps
- Devs wont port the favourite apps cause no users
:/
rough patrol
And some games also wont work with it cause of anti cheat issues and devs not wanting to put in the work
wheat plume
Cause some people just hate linux and want nothing to do with it for no rational...
and Nvidia....despite using Linux on their own dev boards
rough patrol
Yeah but everyone knows nvidia sucks
wheat plume
True, but despite that, it didnt make the slightest dent in their marketshare
except among Linux users
crimson wigeon
But even there NV has the biggest marketshare, a lot of it in pure compute installations though because CUDA
smoky frigate
the way people talk about them makes nvidia and AMD sound like equals in the GPU market, but looking at steam charts there is just no competition
wheat plume
yeah
thats what im saying, people know they are shit but keep using them...just like the case with Windows acctually
reef patrol
Isn't that just iGPUs?

Linux has a huge potential to become a OS of choice for people who either don't know how computers work and cannot be arsed to learn how to, and all they want is to watch photos/movies, surf web and do some simple workflows or for casual gamers, immutable distros + flatpak storefronts would be perfect for that
Or for power users, who are willing to get around pain of making Windows software work on Linux or are used to alternatives which already work on Linux
fair gull
storefronts
oh noe
fair gull
it needs a single store front or easy install with 1 distributed common install file
woven laurel
fair gull
(or if youre windows you have 2 that both work the same to the consumer)
umbral heron
Well, flatpak
Just with different frontends for that, like Plasma's Discover
And AppImage is already very popular framework, which works basically on any Linux, as apps comes with necessary libraries included
Double-click and it works
fair gull
hows the backwards compatibility going
umbral heron
Mostly depends on libraries versions which apps needs, with AppImage coming with its own libraries, apps should work just fine on newer Linuxes
fair gull
what about ui backend? any unified DE backend to talk to?
wheat plume
You say that as if Windows has a unified backend
Every single piece of software on Windows has its own UI design and theme
wheat plume
no its not
smoky frigate
windows has this whole infrastructure of library versions it manages, which is imo its biggest strength. I wish linux had that
fair gull
no its not
setting window style is part of the 1 big ass backend lana
umbral heron
Unified may be a problem
GTK and Qt do the best job of the bunch as for now, and are mostly universally supported
umbral heron
Not really, with UI you'll be working more with DE than with OS
smoky frigate
like the win32 that nobody uses?
fair gull
win32 is used quite a lot
umbral heron
win32 is what largely killed Windows S
fair gull
Not really, with UI you'll be working more with DE than with OS
yeah well the idea would be the DE has some unified rules it follows given from a deeper source and just displays it
fair gull
no its not
umbral heron
Ah, then no, unless you go with some framework or library it's the wild wild west out there
fair gull
i mean i guess win and macos sort of have the advantage of controlling the DE
wheat plume
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-createwin...
is this for Win Forms or the Fluent UI store apps?
fair gull
thats the native way to create a window using direct api calls
wheat plume
but what do they end up looking like?
an old windows xp style app or the new Mica / Fluent design?
fair gull
if you dont specify anything they look like the default current OS windows
wheat plume
so Mica?
fair gull
if you make those calls on win11 yes
pretty sure fluent also just spawns a mica ui win on win11 since its just a library combining ui stuff for multiple OSs
wheat plume
Windows would be pretty nice if all the software on there fit the same theme as the system apps do
like File Explorer and Notepad and Task Manager all now do
fair gull
takes time for windows to deprecate the ancient tools
wheat plume
You can use Rectify11 to fix most of it, but thats a hack
fair gull
cause backwards compatibility
wheat plume
yeah
wheat plume
but this new theme framework is kinda like what Linux has with GTK and QT
which is neat
fair gull
gtk and qt work for windows apps aswell i believe
at least qt does 100%
qt is basically like fluent ui... a lib to make UI on as many platforms as possible
umbral heron
GTK too, it was the first framework I learned to do some simple Windows apps with gui 
fair gull
tmw i learned only winforms at the start
with vb.net
pain
no actually i built my first gui apps before that with bluej (java)
wheat plume
gtk and qt work for windows apps aswell i believe
AFAIK GTK is Linux only 😢 makes sense, the UI layout is way too different to Windows to probably make sense anyway
its more like MacOS UI design
fair gull
calslock literally just proved you wrong
halcyon moss
wat
wheat plume
QT follows the UI design of Xp and Windows 7
halcyon moss
design doesnt matter. app gets rectangle to draw in. toolkit draws in there

i been on 1440p since 2015 so think it might be time to upgrade to 4k
umbral heron
I switched from 1080p60 23" to 1440p280 27" few days ago
It took me a while to get used to higher refresh rate, but I certainly do appreciate more room and bigger screen

I don’t have a system that’ll be able to push very good frames at 4K sadly. Shit would probably look like real life at that point

I dunno about 4K, it's nice on a TV, but I think it's way overkill for PCs
1440p is a bit overkill to me still
late thicket
Wanted to upgrade to 1440p for awhile now since I built my new PC
I'm quite happy with my recently acquired HP OMEN 27qs (27" 1440p 240Hz, built-in USB hub, basic speakers, headphone connector) -- only recommended for PC though, HDMI is just 2.0 and apparently not enough for consoles -- it also has a gimmicky backlight, which can be nice at night if you don't want to switch on lights but also don't want to sit in pitch black darkness
umbral heron
If you go high res and high refresh rates - please, for the love of higher beings use DP and save yourself a headache
late thicket
I wouldn't want anything bigger than 27" for a computer monitor though, it's already quite big.. unless you want to increase the face-monitor distance, which to me feels a bit absurd
lyric hatch
get a bigger desk and a monitor arm 
late thicket
i do have a huge desk + double monitor arm
still wouldn't want anything bigger
I already feel like a dwarf with the two 27" side by side lol
lyric hatch
how do you know what you're missing if you haven't tried it
late thicket
well if I need to increase the distance to the monitor, cause it's already too big when gaming, wouldn't make sense to me ... but if anyone wants to game at 40" and put the monitor on the wall, that's up to them xD

Alright thanks for the recommendation
late thicket
Btw I talked about HDMI and consoles as a warning, obviously it has DP and that's what you should use with a PC
umbral heron
Ah, ok, sorry 
lyric hatch
it's like the same reason you buy multiple monitors you can split the screen and fit more stuff on a bigger screen
umbral heron
But you can set multiple monitors in whatever configuration you like
You can also turn them off if you don't use them at the moment
late thicket
that's true, but I prefer the flexibility of having two 27" than one huge monster, so I can adjust them to my needs depending on what I'm doing (gaming vs coding vs ... ) but everyone has their own preferences obvs (ps was replying to hopperbus)
steep creek
i tried dual monitors once but i ended up returning it because it got too distracting 😅
also got tried of moving my head around that much, maybe ultrawide is better hm
umbral heron
I used to have vertical monitor on the left and two horizontal in center and right
Now I'm on 3 horizontal ones, side to side 
steep creek
ahaa
lyric hatch
yeah my neck hurts just thinking about that
steep creek
i usually work on one thing at the time so my use case differs a bit i guess
lyric hatch
i pretty much agree with what optimum says for his reasoning https://youtu.be/HYbLycIEY1I?t=127
umbral heron
That's probably because my workspace consists of doing usually 3 things at a time
Even now I have Teams, Thunderbird and Discord on one monitor, RustRover and terminal on second, and Win10 VM and some of the RustRover's windows on a third one
late thicket
i pretty much agree with what optimum says for his reasoning https://youtu.be/HY...

yeah I don't do video editing but I do use Indesign, Photoshop and Lightroom
and for work I usually have 3 monitors (including my laptop), Teams, Outlook, Excel, VM and our CMDB

astral haven
sure but the same can be said for elon tho, he said "But it is time to reorganize the company for the next phase of growth and you really need to reorganize it."
and the supercharger team didnt make many changes untill musk stepped in
it could be musk trying to look good by rehiring a few people after firing 500, but i suspect its just exactly what he said
ashen spindle
sure but this is about the shittiest way to enforce changes xD
when at the same time you also have the case of interns getting mails of their flight confirmed and hours later they get a message their stay is no longer valid and they got cut too
astral haven
sure, but he said to fire low performing people, people werent fired, so he fired everyone
firing everyone guarantees firing the low performers, and technically its the only way to guarantee all the low performers are gone
the point is more that dude is doing exactly what he says hes doing, nothing more nothing less
rough patrol
I think you are severely overestimating elon
ashen spindle
even if that is true you also lose high performing people that just cba with your shit anymore because you did it this way instead of just the normal way
astral haven
sure, but if they are sufficiently loyal, he will still be able to hire them back if he wants, and its pretty clear he values loyalty more than just working hard in general
astral haven
I think you are severely overestimating elon
overestimating elon is assuming hes doing something more than he says hes doing
ashen spindle
I would say staying on board and getting used to getting fired and rehired is not loyalty
because clearly your loyalty first has been repaid by getting kicked and then maybe graciously you might come back
astral haven
that is assumging elon is thinking about what the others are thinking
ashen spindle
if hes not thinking about others it just further proves my point this is one of the shittiest way to get rid of low performers xD
astral haven
from his perspective, they didnt fire so they were loyal to the person in charge who didnt want firing to happen
if they are willing to go back after the person anti firing is gone, they must not be loyal to them
vagrant pagoda
that is assumging elon is thinking about what the others are thinking
I mean he probably is. But what he thinks other people think, and what people actually think rarely align
ashen spindle
its also vastly oversimplified if there arent just also people who arent loyal but dont have another job or just moved and cant move back etc.
astral haven
if hes not thinking about others it just further proves my point this is one of ...
im not saying its good, but it seems to work out for the trillionaire in the end so why attribute other things that are less likely?
ashen spindle
because you can do the same thing without fucking people over and its clear he lacks empathy
astral haven
sure but the people he rehires will probably end up fine, and the people he doesnt, he doesnt want he thinks were harming the company
ashen spindle
so how about you decide before and just fire just those
astral haven
he told the person to do that who knew that info, and they didnt
ashen spindle
and now other people need more time to find out which ones to rehire so it takes more time even if you were to retain all the people you want?
astral haven
🤷 musk seems to think that it will all work out, and considering the dude has experience running companies, im inclined to believe him
is it game theory optimal? seems quite obviously not
rough patrol
Musk has a lot of experience buying well run companies
There‘s a lot of horror stories of people working at musk companies where they have a department to appease the manchild in him so they can get their work done elsewhere

I think, for annual iterative work like cell phones. It is necessary to not make the best product the first time around you get stuck with people not looking forward to next years release. and or the hype for the product. (not that there is much since Sony has a very small part of the market) I still want the 1 mk VI but I know the 1 mk VII will be better and that I should wait. My mk IV over heats doing stuff which sucks. but now I have to look forward to a 1080p screen and heat pipes, So the market demands.
astral haven
ok but how about match the cheaper alternatives?
and the phone is supposed to be a flagship camera focused phone, and yet the main isnt even sonys best phone sensor, nor is it even from the current series of sony sensors (imx not lytia) and all sensors either match or are smaller than the cheaper s24u and pixel 8 pro
and the telephoto is drastically worse than both of those
atomic hornet
Also Sony's commitment to updates on android
astral haven
they doubled up their commitment this gen, and its still half of both google and samsung lol
modest hamlet
I would like help with the etiquette of the channel. Memes brought up Gaussian Splatting so I thought I may post a blerb of what I know about it along with github links and a Youtub walkthrough vid. Would that be ok?
my 1 mk IV has android 14 so that is better then what they promised when I bought it

they promised 2, that would be 2

Cant own a houes might as well brake a 1.2k phone and buy another for the same price

The real difference is the overheating and battery life i think

Ofc but id rather have a sd 8 gen 2 than a tensor g3

eh

Dont think theres a wrong choice here tho
modest hamlet
I think the Cell market at least in the US ah is going to be the best bang for the buck cause there really isn't much cool new tech going on cause same ol same ol year in year out

I always wonder who actually buys current gen android flagships cause with that kind of money youll probably want an iphone instead
modest hamlet
Thats the thing no stand out competitors its all about the team you know and back

what advantage does the iphone have over android flagships?
modest hamlet
the gated community
astral haven
spec wise the iphone is an android midranger for dramatically more money lol
modest hamlet
blue dot
steep creek
they kinda make it up through software, but they rely so heavily on app devs to make the experience better

the gated community
as a user of iphones, the gated community is an advantage of multiple apple products together, the iphone alone is garbage

gusty kiln
spec wise the iphone is an android midranger for dramatically more money lol
but da cpu dough
verbal oasis
Well they design their own chips so its optimized for their phone. So even with less mAh they often have more battery life. And performance is also typically the best. Then you have the clean and reliable software that most devs also can optimize for because theres only like 4 iphones every year vs 100s of androids
astral haven
but da cpu dough
the cpu isnt that great, it just benchmarks well

And also the ecosystem

what do you want, speed or quality or options
analog sinew
options
astral haven
photoncam or opencamera depending on what type of options you want
analog sinew
thankie
astral haven
photon requires a raw2 phone, and can have some glitches on untested models
opencamera is very low processing, so may be real bad for bad phones
modest hamlet
Anybody see that two options is still a monopoly? Goog and App battle against each other and squash any compotition

everybody is going to expect at least slightly less better then roid nilla or the same so there is no one that can get an upper hand

on apple you have no choice except in the eu now
on android you can do stuff if you dont want that
I think its fair to be able to set defaults to stuff you like as long as you make it easy to switch away
modest hamlet
You still aren't in full control of "ALL" of your data. I have to give it up to the EU they are doing pretty cool stuff. I just think that its not enough.
astral haven
as far as I know the only gatekept thing on android is precision location, but theres no way around that really
everything else can be swapped out or at least disabled
modest hamlet
like an actual mecanical switch for mics. cameras, radios, GPS,
I know that the Ubuntu phone or something had this but that sucked
astral haven
you can get an android with that, but you can also just disable it in software and without an exploit in aosp, it wont be usable
modest hamlet
I appreciate your knowledge in the particulars and Im not saying you are wrong but chip makeing is something that is close to magic and I don't know magic
ah
for example with Win 11 machines (laptops) they never turn off so Im thinking MS didn'

unless you disable that feature
modest hamlet
t come up with that alone and that someone did that before
astral haven
people whined about the computers taking forever to boot, so now they are faster
modest hamlet
right, untill the next update that renables it
astral haven
if you want a quick solution to shut it down properly hold shift key while turning it off and it turns off like old computers did, and that will keep working
but your boot times will be slower
and it wont be able to run updates on its own in the background
modest hamlet
I know thanks for letting me know.

Those are some thiccc bezels

Perfect bezels on my s24u 
Also near squared off corners look better than rounded corners
Except for the iPhone
They make it look good

Hi! How much of the kryptox 105 should I use in a bag of springs ?

fellas is this build any good? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P3kpsh
ashen spindle
cooler should come with paste dont need an extra tube
1000W psu is a bit overkill for that
marsh pewter

gotcha
marsh pewter
1000W psu is a bit overkill for that
I was fine with going overkill in case I felt like upgrading, but what would you personally recommend?
ashen spindle
like 850 or something like that would depend what the prices are but should be able to save some
and depends if you think you want a 4090 and oc or if you stay below that
like my 4090 is happy with the 750W psu I have but I also undervolted it and dont let it draw a lot
balmy vector
Delicious storage
ashen spindle
always good to keep in mind just adding all the TDP isnt giving you the powerdraw you will see
in games almost nothing comes even close to fully loading a cpus power
and if it does it doesnt fully load the gpu at the same time
umbral heron
TDP is less than 350W in this case for CPU+GPU 750W should be enough

Hi! How much of the kryptox 105 should I use in a bag of springs ?
i'd say like.. five to ten drops maybe? depends on how big of a batch you're planning on bag lubing
if you're planning on bag lubing more springs in the future, you could also use a reusable container solely for bag lubing so any left over gets used again
i hope that made sense 😭😭

Can we go back to phones like this?
18:9 display
Fingerprint scanner on the back
Metal body
No notch
Relatively slim bezels
Available in pretty colors
Don't have to worry about shattering the back if you drop it
No fingerprint smudges either cause it's metal

power fingerprint > back imo

power fingerprint > back imo
Nah back fingerprint is so nice
astral haven
i had back for years
its a tradeoff vs underscreen, generally both are about the same utility
but power button is superior to both imo
back when your phone is leaning up against something is v inconvenient
zenith silo
Never had power button but I definitely prefer back over underscreen
astral haven
or on a mount

True

the only advantage of back over underscreen is pulling down and dismissing notifications

all mice are ergonomical
literally per definition they all have ergonomic features, and being asymmetrical doesn't necessarily mean it is more ergonomic than a symmetrical one

I have been in mr for ages, I would prefer people using the proper term

asymmetrical

doesn't matter what you want it to be, it is what is is. That's how colloquialisms work
old marlin
doesn't mean it is less accurate
and all the people that I know that work in the industry don't use the colloquialism
lyric hatch
guess you should let the big brands know
old marlin
all the logitech mice are actually something that you could call ergonomic
not just asymmetrical but further ergonomic features for tilt etc
and razer just uses that cause it is a colloqualism, the people that make the mice call them differently

Brands misusing terms? That has literally never happened before (looking at you monitor industry 😄 )
