[oak pier]

how would heat power an AC

[zenith cradle]

3090 wattage was 350w... 4090 is 450, 5090 is 575, and the cards sizes are equally larger per gen, nvidia are just making their shit tech bigger, and pretending framegen and dlss is improvements, but not improving graphics tech x)

[oak pier]

5090 is smaller than the 4090

[oak pier]

Also DLSS and framegen is improvement

the 5090 is even smaller than the 3090

[ruby quail]

what ai should i use for my fx 6300 and rx 470 8gb shitbox

[restive lion]

Not for everyone

[oak pier]

5090 is 1.67L
4090 is 2.5L
3090 is 2.8L

[oak pier]

When is it not useful?

[restive lion]

Any sort of rendering

[oak pier]

Upscaling has been and is used in many kinds of rendering

[restive lion]

Framegen does not help me render my after effects projects

[frigid goblet]

Steam

[rustic tundra]

3090 is ass these days

[oak pier]

Wow that sucks, you have an edge case

[zenith cradle]

saw a 5090 review, biggest thing i have ever seen. and how do you cool something with nearly 2x the heat with half the heatsink.

[oak pier]

How does steam power an AC

[restive lion]

A pretty fuckin big edge case considering how many people do video work

[oak pier]

How do you go from "biggest thing i have ever seen" to "half the heatsink"

[rustic tundra]

electric generator

[zenith cradle]

assuming your frame lol

[rustic tundra]

makes no sense but ok

[oak pier]

what frame

[frigid goblet]

Steam creates energy by converting thermal energy into mechanical energy through a turbine

[oak pier]

How do you plan on boiling water when the GPU die itself doesn't even get hot enough to boil water, let alone the exhaust air

[frigid goblet]

DIY

[rustic tundra]

what

[oak pier]

DIY = break the laws of thermodynamics

[frigid goblet]

Its pretty simple

You probably couldn’t power an AC unit by a single 5090 heat though

Thats why you need more 5090s

[oak pier]

The heat output is exactly equal to the power consumption

fun fact, your AC uses more than 575w

[winged spire]

Yes obviously you cannot ?

[winged spire]

Do you understand how insanely inefficient that process is?

[zenith cradle]

xfire making a comeback?

[winged spire]

And how little power a pc actually uses

1000w is almost no energy

[winged spire]

Theoretically could with that bitcoin mining ASIC water heater I guess

[oak pier]

replace all resistive heating with protein folding ASICs

[winged spire]

It’s all the same

[oak pier]

resistive heating does nothing to generate that heat, ASICs fold proteins, and output the same amount of heat for the power draw

[winged spire]

You put 100kwh into a water heater or 100kwh into a btc miner that heats water, you spend the same amount money for the same heat generation

So any btc mined is “free”

The only realistic use for computer heat is as a heat source, boiling water for a steam engine is such a ridiculous idea I don’t think that person is over 13 💀

[rustic tundra]

bro just realised

[winged spire]

What

[zenith cradle]

if you combined home heating and datacenters, and make the homes pay for the heat, the datacenter is kinda free to run.

[winged spire]

We are talking about home use

[zenith cradle]

would only matter a lot in winter in cold climates though.

[rustic tundra]

boiling water is hard for use in a steam engine

[winged spire]

It’s inefficient

[rustic tundra]

from a gpu

[winged spire]

Go get 3% efficiency on your 1000w of heat

I’m sure that will be worth the time and materials

[frigid goblet]

Thats why you need more GPUs

[winged spire]

Ok, now we are taking

[winged spire]

Go get a data center

That’s your next step

[north escarp]

Run my portable heater at 600w or my 5090 to crunch algos at 575 lol (this is not financial advice)

hi

[vapid smelt]

@fossil frost is tea really this bad?

[pulsar kiln]

Anyone else run their rigs purely on Solar power?

Or is everyone in here running 5090's with Intel 14900k overclocked and overvolted to the absolute Max for absolute minimum power efficiency?

[opal thunder]

I love turning my computer into an oven.

Unfortunately this is a undervolting house only.

Don't want to blow the poor 15amp running 2 rooms.

[opal thunder]

You didn't ask me, but I always become the Hulk whenever I drink tea.

This is real and not fake.

[pulsar kiln]

Same. Saves crazy amounts of power actually. On the 5950x an undervolt actually resulted in higher clock speeds for me.

[opal thunder]

Same, 9800X3D -30 all cores.

Works like a charm.

[pulsar kiln]

Also if using an Asus board, disabling the multi core enhancement feature in uefi resulted in 25W less at idle and 10C+ less.

I'm sure similar things on other manufacturers

[opal thunder]

Oh dang, I didn't notice that much for temps.

I have an AIO tbf.

And 5950x is angry in comparison.

[pulsar kiln]

I keep track via home assistant and smart plugs. So I have some hard data on that one.

[pulsar kiln]

Mine was custom loop. But same kind of thing

My Max temps after those two alterations was mid 50's

Ambient temp of 15C

[opal thunder]

Holy crap.

Inside your house?

Or outside?

[mint sandal]

I saw a car burst into flames last night

[viscid mason]

Played some peak on peak while chilling at peak earlier

[pulsar kiln]

Inside. I keep windows open all the time. Canada

Only time it got Warmer was in summer. But that was pretty limited time

[opal thunder]

Fair, it is pretty cold outside nowadays.

[pulsar kiln]

In winter I would see room temps around 10C. But them i started closing windows

[opal thunder]

Especially after going to Palm Springs where it was nearly 40c.

😭

[pulsar kiln]

I no longer live in Canada. Bali Indonesia. And typical days are 40-43 C

[opal thunder]

I was walking outside in a t-shirt at 3am.

[pulsar kiln]

Nights in low 30's

[opal thunder]

It was surreal.

[pulsar kiln]

Yep, no doubt about that

[pulsar kiln]

And yet I'm not uncomfortable in the least. It's hot, but not sweating or anything.

[opal thunder]

I have the chocolate mousse and dark grey.

Only complaint is that they do not like stains.

[gleaming cove]

That sucks
How's the humidity

[pulsar kiln]

Thankfully only 60% here. But it'll be raining later for sure.

[gleaming cove]

Let's hope it rains

Its close to 40 here also

[pulsar kiln]

Lol but the temp only drops to like 38

And then humidity goes sky high

[gleaming cove]

😭 its still a temporary relief

[pulsar kiln]

Beer helps

[gleaming cove]

Never tried that,
And AC is fine

[pulsar kiln]

AC works, but expensive.

Farts help me feel more comfy

[austere shale]

Crazy how the ram is the most expensive thing in the PC

Probably over $1000 in just ram

[pallid falcon]

Who needs @ grok is this true when you have sending it to ykur friends and seeing if they call you a dummy

[austere shale]

I miss pre-lobotomized grok

Gone but not forgotten

[oak pier]

they lobotomized it because it was making CSAM content

[austere shale]

That was probably part of it, but that’s not what I’m talking about

[oak pier]

grok was always one of the weirder LLMs to me

[mint sandal]

Saw a car burst into flames yesterday

[oak pier]

everyone okay?

[mint sandal]

Not sure but fuck the occupents

[oak pier]

Why????

[mint sandal]

Kia boys

[oak pier]

What car you drive doesn't justify burning alive

The fuck?

[pallid falcon]

Groks association with haters makes it weird

[mint sandal]

They stole it and broke into 100 different cars

[oak pier]

Yeah it's more sohow it's used that is weird

[oak pier]

They should go to prison, not burn alive

monetary losses don't justify an agonizing death

[austere shale]

At least they can’t reoffend

[mint sandal]

They didnt burn alive they crashed it on purpose to create a diversion to get cops and fire off their trail

[oak pier]

So we should execute all criminals so they can't reoffend?

[oak pier]

Oh... Okay...

[pallid falcon]

Key details left out tsk tsk

[austere shale]

At a certain point yes. Like all these people who’ve been caught and released like 15+ times. At some point enough is enough

[mint sandal]

Plus they were speeding in a residential apartment complex

[pallid falcon]

[oak pier]

The US has one of the highest recidivism rates for a reason

We have a for profit prison system that incentivizes recidivism

[mint sandal]

What that they were black

[oak pier]

Why does their race matter?

[mint sandal]

It doesnt but my area does have high interracial crime

[pallid falcon]

Race no mattering

[austere shale]

Ehhhhhh

[mint sandal]

Kia boys give that stereo type a voice

[austere shale]

Tell me about it, I’m from Milwaukee, where the Kia bois originated

[mint sandal]

Just like in my area if you see a lifted truck you know you're getting fucked with on the road

[austere shale]

All the crime is just making its way north from shithole chicago and I’m so sick of it

[pallid falcon]

With the current climate, times tough

[mint sandal]

Love the city im in tho

[austere shale]

The past 2 years it’s gotten so bad. Had my car broken into, my motorcycle stolen, had one of them kick my dog while I was walking her and I beat the shit out of him and left him on the sidewalk, had another one try to rob me at knifepoint at like midnight while walking her, luckily I had my gun on me, kid couldn’t have been older than 17

[mint sandal]

Yeah theres a city south of me where crime and drugs flow from

[opaque coral]

hey peoples

[austere shale]

I moved out of the inner city because it got so bad

[mint sandal]

4 cities/towns in my state are in top 10 for overdoses in the entire United States

[oak pier]

we need more safe drug use centers in the US

[opaque coral]

sounds like a great time

[oak pier]

They vastly reduce overdose related deaths and infections, whilst reducing addiction rates

[pallid falcon]

[mint sandal]

I think psychedelics would help

[austere shale]

I think we should just forcibly institutionalize the crackheads

[pallid falcon]

SafeSitter services exist but arent enough to really make a dent tbh.

[austere shale]

I saw what happened in Oregon when they decriminalized drugs, complete shitshow. People shooting up sitting right outside of Walmart

[mint sandal]

How about pre Regan mental health facilities

[oak pier]

What a lovely way to make the problem worse

[opaque coral]

some parts of New zealand are like that. i won't walking around those areas unless i need to because you'll be assualted by druggies and drunks

[mint sandal]

Make insane asylums common place again

[pallid falcon]

Arkham

[austere shale]

I use to use a LOT of drugs, anything I could find. And I’ve been clean now for 4 years, easy access to drugs and safe spaces to do them will only make the problem worse

[oak pier]

Again, an amazing way to make it worse

[mint sandal]

Im not recommending stuff like lobotomies some people cant function in a public setting

[oak pier]

Cause that's what happened when they instituted it in the netherlands, denmark, and norway, right?

[pallid falcon]

They can help reduce crime and od issues though, plus also help with issues with streets

[oak pier]

(hint: it reduced drug related injuries and illnesses, as well as addiction rates)

[austere shale]

So coming from a former addict, you just need to put dealers in jail for life, and multiple years of prison for using, it doesn’t even need to go on for long. Just make an example out of a couple people and they’ll get the message

[opaque coral]

it could be worse, in new zealand they get assulted/abused at a rampid rate

[mint sandal]

Yup instead of coming down hard on buyers they need to go after the plugs in the world

[opaque coral]

like our state care system for kids, its full of people who want to abuse to vulnerable

[oak pier]

Imprisoning drug users just disincentivizes people to seek help, and we already imprison drug dealers for years

We have some of the strictest drug laws in the world, yet simultaneously have some of the worst drug use problems

[pallid falcon]

Tbh where is the tech tips in this convo

[opaque coral]

unfortuenrly where there is a demand, their wil always be a supply

[mint sandal]

Usually they get a slap on the wrist for flipping and go back to dealing

[austere shale]

Just my perspective, and I know I’m one of the lucky ones

[oak pier]

Hate to break it to you, but your perspective is anecdotal, data suggests that safe drug use spaces decrease drug use

[mint sandal]

What needs to happen is Florida rehab needs a complete overhaul

[pallid falcon]

Laws are a deterrent, not a full stop. Those who use do not care anout the law, and those who get started are low enough they dont care either

[austere shale]

And I can tell you when Oregon decriminalized drugs, it made the problem so much worse. Hence why they recriminalized them

[oak pier]

The US philosophy of punishment over rehabilitation is why our recidivism rates are so high

[oak pier]

At no point did i argue for complete decriminalization

truth is, empirical data indicates that overcriminalization of drugs only makes the problem worse, not better

[austere shale]

Thats basically what safe spaces to use are, like I saw a narcan vending machine the other day, I don’t wanna have to explain to my hypothetical kid what that is and what its for

[oak pier]

You don't want to have to explain live saving medication?

Safe places provide clean needles, medical help, and resources to become clean, criminalization and incarceration only make it worse

[pallid falcon]

We where taught how to use Narcan in school. That's how bad the issue was/is.

[austere shale]

Yes because then it’s gonna be “what are drugs” then that basically introduces and normalizes them. Especially when the vending machines have needles and other such paraphernalia in them

[oak pier]

You can find alcohol in most stores, does that normalize alcoholism?

[hardy pilot]

Narcan isn’t only to save someone from an overdose due to an addiction, it can save someone from an overdose due to having their stuff spiked, a medically prescribed medication overdose on accident (took the medicine too many times in a day, got the wrong dose from the pharmacy, etc), etc

[pallid falcon]

We where taught cpr, the defibrillator things, epipens (idk spelling), narcan, few others

[oak pier]

Epipen is correct

epipen is a brand name, but is also what most people call even the generic

[pallid falcon]

The most common reasons around here for drug issues is due to climate issues (eg. Lack of work, home life, racism/homophobia/transphobia, stress from overwork) etc

[oak pier]

The culture, lack of relevant education, and lack of resources only makes the problem worse

[pallid falcon]

Feel that if we want to reduce the usage, we need to work on the reasons people are starting usage, not overbearing the prevention

[oak pier]

Also the overprescription of addictive medications in the medical field

[hardy pilot]

Do you know what’s the most common drug in lgbtq communities? It’s weed especially when it’s decriminalized, you won’t need to use narcan with us if we have access to weed

[oak pier]

The US has tried criminalization for more than a century, it doesn't work, many other countries are doing far better and we need to follow suit

[austere shale]

And honestly I’m even fine with weed, I say just treat it like alcohol

[pallid falcon]

Talkikg about stuff stronger then that.

[austere shale]

I think you can get addicted to it, and it can make you dumb over time but yk, so can alcohol

[hardy pilot]

It’s way worse than alcohol, it’s fine if we educate people on the dangers of not being cautious

[austere shale]

I do agree with you 100% like low thc % weed (like what they had when our parents were kids) is/was way less harmful than the super potent shit they have now

The stuff they have now like dabs and allat can definitely fry you. But like I know people who drink these weed seltzers that have like 5mg in them and they just get a small tiny buzz that’s fine with me

[hardy pilot]

Yeah here it’s really well managed by the provinces (the provinces set the “rules” and “specifications” for the stuff that can be sold

[austere shale]

Yea and in states where it’s legal here it’s just a free for all, farms trying to make the most potent crop they can and that’s what I think is frying people

I can’t smoke or anything because I have ADHD so it makes me very paranoid and borderline schizophrenic

Hear the neighbors tv through the wall and I’m sitting there tweaking like “THEYRE TALKING ABOUT ME THEY KNOW WHAT IM DOING” in reality it’s just a rerun of the great British bake off

[hardy pilot]

The weed is mostly outsourced so they don’t control the crops

[oak pier]

Weed is a really weird legal area, because it is federally illegal, but some states have legalized it

[austere shale]

Yea I never fully got that, my understanding is the federal government still overrules state, but the federal government just kinda looks the other way

[oak pier]

Correct, since the federal government has made it illegal, it is still technically illegal in every state

President Biden had the executive branch not enforce it though

And i don't believe President Trump has changed that

States that have decriminalized it won't use state resources to pursue it though, so it's essentially just unenforced

Vast majority of banks won't touch money related to the sale of weed though, since the Federal Reserve won't insure it

(not a lawyer, not legal advice, follow all local laws)

[austere shale]

Yea, I mean at this point it’s so entrenched in the local economy that enforcing the federal laws would probably cripple the various states for a couple years at least

[oak pier]

It would also worsen relations between the federal government and the states

[austere shale]

I know Illinois gets a LOT of tax money from it because it is very expensive compared to other states

[oak pier]

The states don't love it when the federal government overrides their choices within their state

[austere shale]

I want more states

I want Guam

It’s got a fun name

[oak pier]

Woah there buddy, slow down, puerto rico is first

[austere shale]

They can come too

[winged spire]

DC is first

[oak pier]

DC will never become a state

[winged spire]

No taxation without representation, it’s insane our capital is in violation of the very thing that made us a country

[austere shale]

DC not just being a city has always wigged me out, like what it doing being in Virginia and not just being a city

[oak pier]

DC was never supposed to be as big of a city as it is

it was supposed to basically just be a small town for representatives and government workers

It's a compromise from when they were deciding where the capital would be, any state that had the capital would have been favored, so they decided to just not put it in a state

[austere shale]

We could just have Cuba too if we want Puerto Rico to be a state

[alpine coyote]

[mint sandal]

China had over 10 petabytes of data stolen

[austere shale]

It’s not even that. Russia has been trying to build an alliance and expand its territory, and in 40 years I bet there’s gonna be 2 maybe 3 mega countries and it’s gonna be war and end of civilization

[rustic tundra]

i dont think russia will expand

theyre already losing in the war

[mint sandal]

I have a feeling putin will drag Russia to a shadowy grave

[rustic tundra]

he already did

that country is collapsing in the next 10 years

[mint sandal]

Just like how openai will go bankrupt

[austere shale]

Doesn’t even necessarily need to expand, just form a super alliance with China, and other such countries, to the point its effect allies vs axis again, and considering america is the only country who can actually do anything im willing to bet we’re just gonna start taking over countries for their resources to fight this hypothetical war in 40 or so years, and the build up to that will begin In 20-30 years

[rustic tundra]

north korea is already supporting russia in the war

but they seem to loose a lot of people compared to ukraine

[austere shale]

After so much time I’ve kinda stopped paying attention to the war ngl

[rustic tundra]

yeah i was trying to get some recent info

turns out ukraine is slowly winning over them

[austere shale]

And I’ve seen videos of Ukrainian “recruiters” basically kidnapping any able bodied man they can find to send to fight, saw them kill some civilian men who didn’t wanna fight too, so idk who I really support anymore tbh

This Ukrainian guy I work with occasionally said he spoke to his mom over there and some of the guys he grew up with got kidnapped and sent to the front lines and presumably died

Rough shit

ill never use opera again, at least. purely because they thought it was acceptable to put ads where my quick access sites were, so i keep having to delete them, or have them pile up.

it's remarkable they thought that was a wise move

they could have filled the whole new tab screen with ads instead, that would both be far less intrusive, and make the ads far more visible.

[zenith cradle]

firefox then i guess

i have heard many people praise it, and firefox was the go-to before chrome 😄

[hearty spear]

I use Chrome and Firefox still

and occasionally Edge for work shit, if it requires it

[zenith cradle]

can any chrome-based browser use all chrome extensions?

waterfox 😮 is that related to firefox?

Don’t listen to him

[winged spire]

You’re allowed to say hello here

no it doesn't

Hello everyone!

[zenith cradle]

dont listen to aquatic

[hearty spear]

Even if it tells you to say Hi, you can type a message

[empty zodiac]

😭

[meager zinc]

Well yea thats true

[zenith cradle]

discord telling you to say hi is some kindergarten shit, discord supposedly outlawed sub 16s to use it too

[meager zinc]

I think its setup by mods
Not discord

[zenith cradle]

mods, stop the kindergarten shit

[hearty spear]

saying "hi" to a server with what.... 30K+ people ONLINE currently is... kinda boring

[zenith cradle]

also sometimes just floods the chat, and you can just read and enter any convo without saying hi 😄

[meager zinc]

Of these 30k+ i only see very few people regular in chat

[hearty spear]

Hi doesn't start interesting conversations.

Saying something with meaning does

[winged spire]

these people learned etiquette from reddit 💔

[chilly egret]

Eh, its done in server setup but its basically forced

[winged spire]

if you genuninely cared about someone saying hi in chat you DESPERATELY need to log off and touch grass

[zenith cradle]

etiquette is for personal relationships, not for online forums

we are pragmatic here

[winged spire]

you do not know what etiquette is then

[zenith cradle]

etiquette is a word with 3 t's

[winged spire]

every message complaining about saying hi has been absolutely useless and done nothing for the server, if you actually cared about that you woudlnt have said anything in the first place

[zenith cradle]

fair point

but maybe it serves the goial of getting rid of the prompt

for the greater good

the initial launch and TLI burn was so accurate they skipped the OTC burns

thats the first one they did afaik

I guess our gravity models of the moon arent perfect

or earth I suppose

theyre eepin

[tardy terrace]

Biiig space eepies

[austere shale]

So like, haven’t been paying that much attention, what did we learn from flying to the dark side of the moon

[tardy terrace]

we got a more complete recorded surface coverage of the moon with human element

we also tested the orion pod while crewed in space, so now it'll get tweaked and reused for future missions

more than likely orion capsule & artemis LV will be the core of a lot of the future moon missions

[winged spire]

test run

we tested the math, and hardware

found issues (the toilet)

same as the several apollo missions that were just orbits

[zenith cradle]

how do i easilly access and transfer files between 2 PCs?

i tried connecting them in various ways, but they are not on the network, despite both being on the network and both having networking enabled

i wanna just access all my old PCs files

click into and browse it as if it a hard drive 😄

[wild scarab]

SSH

If they are on the same network

[zenith cradle]

idk what that is, but i enabled public folder sharing on the network on my new PC now, maybe i can just acces the new one from my old, and slot in files now?

[wild scarab]

SSH is a standard for server access but it is also capable for file sharing

[zenith cradle]

[graceful mortar]

It's like 10-12 here. Full ppf is 20k 😭

[plush grotto]

USD????

[graceful mortar]

I would TOTALLY get these 2 colors if still available.

[graceful mortar]

Yes! Hell even just nose is 5-6k

[graceful mortar]

These are 2 VERY different colors btw

[plush grotto]

Wtf kind of wrap do they use? Gold???

[graceful mortar]

Unskilled labor at $220 /hr is a part of that

[plush grotto]

Wtf

[graceful mortar]

No just xpel for PPF, 3m (?) for wrap

[graceful mortar]

Welcome to actual cumulative inflation being 90% in 5 years.

[plush grotto]

Yea, for an SUV here I can get PPF for 1.5k and full body "simple" color wrap for 3k+

[plush grotto]

And out of those 220 the worker gets 30

Really want to try to recreate this on my car.

hey i was wondering what are like top things to do on a new windows install with a fresh bios

[graceful mortar]

And at 80mph cruise the Y struggles to do 100 miles on 85-0% charge. It's actually appalling. Maybe in cities with 30 mph limit it's better?

i wanna talk to jake for the most part but he left

[vernal pewter]

Theres no way that its worth 1k rn 😭😭

[austere shale]

My exact ram kit ddr5 6000 64gb is $900 right now

I bought it for $250 like 2 years ago

[sharp bobcat]

uh

I don't recall a single NB DDR4 kit

[vernal pewter]

I’m pretty sure its ddr4 ram

[sharp bobcat]

is it 96GB or 64GB

[vernal pewter]

I checked his task manager and it said 96🤣🤣

[sharp bobcat]

NB kits are mostly well known just right now on DDR5

[austere shale]

Ddr5 comes in weird sizes once you get big so if it’s 96gb I’d believe it’s ddr5

But who knows

[sharp bobcat]

unless this is like, 2x 32GB and 2x 16GB

although yea

[vernal pewter]

Pretty sure hes on am4 he has a r7 5800x I think he’s just dumb and bought different sizes (rip dual channel)

[sharp bobcat]

that alone would still worth like

$800 - $900

[austere shale]

Sounds right

[sharp bobcat]

so two 32GB and two 16GB on 4dimm mobo

y tho

but damn

[austere shale]

Regardmaxing

Damn you warship

That is MY word to use

[vernal pewter]

Bro I asked him the same reason I was just like get 128 dont do that bs and he was like I dont even need that much anyway and I started crying internally

I told him about the channeling stuff snd he still did it

[sharp bobcat]

not the worst I've seen

[austere shale]

I don’t even think they make 128gb ddr5 kits, I remember trying to get that much when I built my PC and Newegg legit didn’t have anything

Highest I found was 96

Might’ve changed in the last couple years but

[sharp bobcat]

well yea uh https://pcpartpicker.com/list/38B29K

[austere shale]

Yea that’s what I’m talking about, 48gb sticks, I couldn’t find 64gb sticks because I only wanted to run 2 sticks

So I settled on 2 32gb sticks

[vernal pewter]

You really think he could sell the stick for 800-900??

[austere shale]

Man if it’s ddr5 probably yea

[vernal pewter]

Its for sure ddr 4

[austere shale]

Yea they must’ve came out with them, 100% weren’t around when I was looking like 2-3 years ago now

[vernal pewter]

Its on the am4 platform

[sharp bobcat]

I mean

[austere shale]

Otherwise I would’ve bought them since I built my PC with effectively infinite budget

[sharp bobcat]

be reasonable with the pricing ofc

[frigid goblet]

256 gb ram sticks

[gleaming cove]

This was happening in parallel with the Indian chandrayaan 3 programme iirc
Russia crashed on August 19th and India soft landed on August 23rd

[gleaming cove]

No way Russia and US will end up competing for land on the moon, but Russia will definitely build some landers and rovers for the moon

[north escarp]

They have lots of helium in the moon

And solar charged materials

Moons got all the cool minerals

https://tenor.com/view/napoleon-dynamite-gosh-school-bus-high-school-90's-kids-gif-9179032170168226644

[gleaming cove]

It will be interesting to see how it's used.
Japan is doing some good work for their lunar programme

[harsh quartz]

Isn’t the big thing on the moon tritium?

[north escarp]

Moons got a ton of precious materials

The moment we can get there mining itll be noicee, and be able to circle it back

But space dust suckss, I know theres a handful of scientist creating electromagnetic setups to repel the moons metallic surface dust

Nasty business to get in ones suit/in machines

How we will share these spaces and materials is tough, and I sense may have some future conflicts. But future us problems

We all gotta get there first

[north escarp]

Seems there may be some, im not familiar with this material

[harsh quartz]

Helium ion

[north escarp]

Buttt as for the big thing* I do know theres alot of helium that can be condensed to h3

Oh well then sorta yus

[harsh quartz]

Unfortunately it’s not that simple

[north escarp]

It takes alot to make a very small amount

[hot tartan]

can we get over all this already and just nuke the moon

[harsh quartz]

But they want a lot of it for nuclear fusion, either fusion for energy or fusion for bombs

[harsh quartz]

No, we have to use the moon to make nukes

[hot tartan]

hmm ok, I'll tell my people to postpone the nukes

[harsh quartz]

I mean, if you have nukes at the ready I might have some more worthwhile targets

[gleaming cove]

There is a mission planned by ISRO to get some materials back. I don't think it will ever reach a point where it is commercially viable, but its good for science. (not atleast for the next 5 decades). [NASA definitely has a lot more stuff planned but for them also getting it to a stage where it is useful commercially is difficult and might never be done for the next few decades]

Then there's a JAXA 🤝 ISRO mission planned after that which is going to be interesting.

[hot tartan]

nah I can only get people to nuke the moon sorry

• new L3B (2.7 Turbomax 4 banger) will be a MONSTER. 350+hp, wider torque curve, free breathing
• PRAYING they do the LZ0 Gen 2 (3.0 Duramax) they have on a shelf with 380hp and 550TQ.
• and 15% better MPG as well. FINALLY getting 36 gallon tanks!

PLEASE let ford be awake. the Coyote was THE engine to get in the 1/2 ton world (with teh 3.73's) PLEASE have a 7.3 ready for 1/2 ton use. probably will be 6.8 but i want the damn torque.
lack of torque is why modern cars drive like ass and have transmisions made of paper mache since they shift 3-5 times per mile and EVERY shift wears the transmission out.

meanwhile 30 years ago 150mph supercharged 3800's were doing 30MPG with .38 cd :/

barring some data heavy workload that you'd probably know if you have, it's mostly just used to be able to use fewer lanes. Many modern GPUs are x8 and SSDs are x2 using pcie 5.0

[zenith cradle]

arent all GPU slots x16?

[pastel marsh]

no but yes, but also all gpus aren’t x16

not every pcie slot on your computer even if full sized is actually x16 electrically

[zenith cradle]

so pcie5 is just useful for extreme edge cases right, not even 5090 necasserilly?

[pastel marsh]

yes, but if you had a 5060 you probably wouldn’t want to be on pcie 3 because of afformentioned 8 lanes

pcie 4 you’ll get away with even in modern cases unless your gpu is x4 for some reason

[zenith cradle]

so if i keep my pcie4 for 10 years, i should watch out for GPUs that have 4 lanes?

when i inevitably upgrade gpu

[pastel marsh]

you won’t keep it for 10 years

not if you care about gaming performance/performance in modern tasks, and if not - why upgrade?

[zenith cradle]

if i can get away with only upgrading gpu, i will probably keep this new PC for 10 years, i think it is pcie4.

[shut lichen]

Even if you buy the absolute best of everything today, you won't want to be using it 10 years from now

[pastel marsh]

the issue is that you won’t be able to 💀😭that’s my point

[zenith cradle]

i doubt ill need a new cpu for forever, 32gb ram is probably enough for many generations, 16gb was enough and basically standard for a full decade, still today.

[pastel marsh]

32gb ram is literally getting phased out as we speak

[zenith cradle]

what do you meeeeeeeean

[rustic tundra]

what

[shut lichen]

16 literally isn't even enough if you actually do anything

[zenith cradle]

no 😄

[rustic tundra]

bro thinks everyone has 32

[pastel marsh]

if i go back and use a cpu from 2015/2016 i will not be a happy camper are you picking up what im throwing down

[zenith cradle]

i bet most people have 16

[pastel marsh]

it may be usable but it won’t be fun and you’d have no reason to upgrade your gpu

[shut lichen]

Anyone actually using their shit and spending real money has 32 or more

[rustic tundra]

as long as its supported by w11 its modern

[pastel marsh]

if your gpu isn’t the slow thing in your computer, then upgrading it is not going to do anything

[shut lichen]

Broke children have 16

[pastel marsh]

i mean or people in bad spots but sure

[north escarp]

Life be hard in our area

[shut lichen]

Hell I only have 32 because I had to switch from a hedt board with 8 slots to a Normie 4 slot board and didn't want to buy new ram

[zenith cradle]

brokies have 3050 and 8gb

or integrated 😄

[rustic tundra]

brokies got 5 year old laptops

[shut lichen]

No, children with dumb parents that don't get real advice before buying their kid a computer have that

[zenith cradle]

i had integrated through the whole peak gpu crisis, even though we never got back to normal prices :[

1500 for 5080 is dumb as fuck, not even 5080ti

[shut lichen]

When I say broke I don't mean living in poverty kind of broke

[zenith cradle]

amd sucks at competing 😄

[serene tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/sparxie-rick-roll-meme-april-1st-honkai-star-rail-gif-4556945769139701992

[zenith cradle]

lucky my nehpew had 2 gamer uncles, he got a 5060ti in one hell of a deal, parts cost a good deal more then the package.

[shut lichen]

This statement emplies amd has even tried for the last few generations

[rustic tundra]

amd tried

[shut lichen]

No they didn't

[rustic tundra]

and got they got their asses kicked by nvidia as always

[shut lichen]

silly child

[zenith cradle]

amd did well with their 6000 gen, then it just fell off. their best now only beat the nvidia midrange 😐

[serene tulip]

I would care for AMD if they didnt say “fuck you” to pre rdna 4 card owners

[rustic tundra]

nvidia still offers the best

and they still give drivers to 20 series

[zenith cradle]

at least amd makes great CPUs, but i imagine the GPU market is 10x larger, and was up for grabs for a decade.

[serene tulip]

they give new dlss to 20 series as well

[rustic tundra]

now tell me when does amd care

fsr is STILL worse than dlss

[serene tulip]

they cared during rdna 2 then AI greed got to them and they stopped caring

[serene tulip]

fsr is fucking horrible

[rustic tundra]

even xess is better

[serene tulip]

yeah i use xess over it

[rustic tundra]

and intel isnt trying

they were like "hey guys check out our upscaler its good enough"

[zenith cradle]

nvidia has just relied on using more and more power, and fucking dlss and framegen, and raytracing that did not matter for the first 5 years, amd had every edge they could need

[rustic tundra]

now nvidia rules with dlss and rt

incredible tech

primary reason why i wont buy an amd card

[shut lichen]

Intel is trying, they just don't have anything on the high end.
The B580 is the budget king, even with the ram shortage pricing

[zenith cradle]

dlss is impressive, but i'd rather not upscale, i'd rather have actual computing power, and RT seems to still be extremely inefficient.

[rustic tundra]

blah blah just use it bro

[serene tulip]

im going to go to an oled and a 5070ti at the same time my eyes are going to melt

[zenith cradle]

that's my plan too, just got my 5070ti today

[serene tulip]

awesome

[zenith cradle]

or, whole new PC

[rustic tundra]

the reason why rt is "inefficient" is because the gpu is literally simulating individual light rays

how is that surprising

replicates real light as close as it can

[zenith cradle]

in other words, rasterization is magic, RT is like 1000 slaves digging coal manually.

[rustic tundra]

no

raster is just using screenspace reflections which look ass but are good enough

[zenith cradle]

i will use RT when i can, i know it look good, but i will turn it off if i hit sub 60 fps, and instead play 120hz raster.

[rustic tundra]

i rather use rt/pt

[zenith cradle]

pt and 30 fps? 😄

[serene tulip]

you have to try to notice the difference between dlss and native its really impressive

[rustic tundra]

in cyberpunk its like 10-20

native 4k though

and once i throw dlss and fg in it magically becomes 80-90 like damn

[zenith cradle]

DLSS is good i agree, but let's hope the industry can actually increase computing power, not take shortcuts.

[rustic tundra]

i dont plan on getting a new gpu

it works

can do 4k when i ask it

[serene tulip]

upscaling has been around for over 20 years its not a shortcut

[rustic tundra]

oh yeah thats true

ever heard of checkerboard scaling?

[serene tulip]

everything i say is true you dont need to remind me bud 🥱

[zenith cradle]

kinda, but DLSS takes it from averaging to guessing, and a whole different level of upscaling... scale.

[rustic tundra]

why do these people complain about upscaling

just enjoy it

a gpu is a bunch of ones and zeros after all

[serene tulip]

upscaling is single handedly saving older gpus

well at least on nvidias side, amd is selling the bag

[zenith cradle]

upscaling/dlss >>>>>>>>>>>>> fg

[rustic tundra]

fg is good if your base fps is high enough

[zenith cradle]

then you dont need fg x)

[rustic tundra]

cyberpunk looks better at 90 than at 50

[zenith cradle]

catch 22, is it? it's good when you dont need it.

[serene tulip]

brom what are u getting me for my 18th

[rustic tundra]

oxygen molecules

[zenith cradle]

back to ram though, ALL conclusions and stats i have seen concludes 16gb is enough for almost all cases, more does nothing in 95% of cases.

[rustic tundra]

16gb is everything a regular user needs including home users and office workplaces

even my mac got 16

[serene tulip]

i got 64 cause cities skylines used 40

[rustic tundra]

i was fine on 32 there but my cities werent big enough

[serene tulip]

i got clowned on in here when i got 64gb for $225

now look at those same people crying about not being able to afford ram

[zenith cradle]

32 is more then enough, 64 is pointless, but it's fun to have infinite ram i guess. it's kinda like playing a 5090 on a 60hz screen

FORTNITE, not crysis 15

[tacit elbow]

hi

[serene tulip]

maybe for u yeah

[rustic tundra]

"clowned on in here" isnt that a case for every time we both have conversations in here?

these people think they know the most

[zenith cradle]

you're still a clown, wasted 100 bucks you could use to buy 2 grams of wagyu beef steak

[serene tulip]

youre lowkey right

ive had wagyu it tastes like normal steak

[rustic tundra]

2 grams of wagyu thats enough to feed a family

[zenith cradle]

2g wagyu contains roughly 500g of fat, sources in description

[plush grotto]

Numbers are a bit off.

Just tiny bit

[rustic tundra]

2 grams of wagyu contains 4342 rabbits, 329 chickens, 78 pencils, 4 cars, 2 1/2 burj khalifas and 1 whole milk

[zenith cradle]

that's a conspiracy theory

[plush grotto]

You forgot about the Falcon 9 Heavy.

[rustic tundra]

thats for 3 grams of wagyu

[plush grotto]

Ahh, yea that's right. Sorry my bad

Easy mix up.

[strange elk]

ultra dense matter

[serene tulip]

tombutu said they were buying me a 5090 for my 18th bday

[plush grotto]

[zenith cradle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj5v52R4qnk i have my sources

[plush grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/knuckles-sonic-sonic-the-hedgehog-stamp-approved-gif-16885514587082839809

[rustic tundra]

that means 50 grams of pure sand contains 237123 gaming chairs, 3293 people, 2534 windows installs, 42 among us figures, 67 numbers of pi and 4 jeremy clarksons

[plush grotto]

I like the non Clarkson variant, easier to clean up if you spill.
The Hammond variant is better imo.

[rustic tundra]

the may variant is extremely messy and yaps too much about the sandero

[zenith cradle]

Unboxed tested with 5090, and the most insane settings, there are almost nobody who would run into issues with a 16gb set

[plush grotto]

And cheese for some reason

[rustic tundra]

i wouldnt like kids to play in a sandbox that constantly says how good the sandero is and cheese

[zenith cradle]

that's a bargain just for the clarksons

[plush grotto]

Was that with browser, discord and other applications open?

[zenith cradle]

yes

[rustic tundra]

half a stick of ddr2.5

[zenith cradle]

so worst case scenario for ram, and an insanely OP setup. i would like to see the ideal scenario and using a 5070ti or 5080.

[carmine dew]

https://youtu.be/C7sagA2I-os?si=NORPsCZlt5tEAneL

[zenith cradle]

it is funny that we got to a time where GPUs have more ram then the motherboard 😄

[plush grotto]

I'm currently looking into getting a 2nd kit if 64gb.

Do I need it?
No.
But number big 😄

[zenith cradle]

why do some games need so much ram? is it because it needs to load a large and detailed world into the ram? i wonder if unreals nanite alleviates that by making distant land far less demanding to render.

i've no clue if nanite affects how big a file you need on hand though

but it helps the gpu

[hazy parrot]

Because well. Two reasons. Unused ram is wasted ram.

Games are made by humans. We all make mistakes. Knowingly or unknowingly. And it's much harder for someone's job to perfectly stream in And out assets in the game engine, then it is to like dig a hole

[plush grotto]

cant find the same kit of ram i have right now.
🙁

[zenith cradle]

Dram making up for lack of Vram is kinda incredible

i wonder how it would go if you put a 5090 with 1gb of VRam and 128gb DRam 😄

[plush grotto]

slow af

[zenith cradle]

but has it been done, if not, why.

[strange elk]

5060+doom the dark ages

No dlss, which I assume most aren't doing these days

[graceful mortar]

wym? we are going back to reliable cars with Torque. can finally get more than 80,000 out fo them before they are mechanically totaled! back to the good old 300,000 miles days.

[covert cradle]

that you can't fathom what I'm talking about says a lot ngl

[oak pier]

you’re just not gonna get good gas mileage with a big ass truck

the reason why average gas mileage has gone down is that vehicles are getting a lot bigger

[frigid goblet]

Whats better

DDR6 8 GB or DDR5 16 GB or DDR4 32 GB

[zenith cradle]

does ddr6 exist

[winged spire]

Ethanol also

[umbral jackal]

You're not getting DDR6 anytime soon
But in this hypothetical, it's entirely dependent on what you need to do
Faster RAM will benefit CPU-bound applications, but if you simply need more memory for a memory heavy application, then you don't really have a choice but to pick the higher capacity

[zenith cradle]

this text-blurr issue with oled, does upgrading from 1440 oled to 2160 oled help with that a lot?

[hot tartan]

yes

it's also mitigated with newer panel technologies

[zenith cradle]

yeah i heard about the rghb/rhgb thing

[hot tartan]

it was also an issue with qd-oled due to the triangular pixel layout

[winged spire]

Blue origin had a test end in failure I guess

It literally popped a hole in the roof like a cartoon lmao

[zenith cradle]

such is rocketry, kinda funny fail tho

[winged spire]

Last time they did this exact thing the whole sliding door broke off

[zenith cradle]

i dont at all mind the fails, they need to stress test to find ways to make sure it can handle more then it HAS to, find flaws.

[winged spire]

Usually not done in an enclosed space

[zenith cradle]

is blue origin struggling ?

[zenith cradle]

i assume they considder the risk of building repair worth it, to avoid having to transport it for every single test.

[winged spire]

Nobody else does these indoor

[snow magnet]

cool

[zenith cradle]

i just noticed every single 32'' oled is 4k, that is nice.

[hot tartan]

yeah the 1440p PPI at 32" is pretty low

[naive sand]

HELLO

[pastel marsh]

hi

[vapid smelt]

did you go see stung by bee plane?

[winged spire]

Might go down to Florida to see NG-3 if it happens on a weekend

I’d love to see super guppy

[snow magnet]

yay super guppy

[harsh quartz]

This plane makes me unreasonably angry

[snow magnet]

The engines are cool

I love that type of 4 blade prop

like on the Lockheed Electra

[harsh quartz]

Only engines I’ve ever thought was cool was the b52 dual nacelles

[snow magnet]

those are cool too

I've seen them irl

I got to walk around the exterior of a B-52

even under the wings

[harsh quartz]

Or the b36 that runs both props and jets

[snow magnet]

Oooh yes

that reminds me of the Fireball

the Ryan FR

[vapid smelt]

not the Republic XF-84H Thunderscreech? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyG7Xxw2YXU

[harsh quartz]

Engines built into the frame are slick too

[vapid smelt]

On the ground "run ups", the prototypes could reportedly be heard 25 miles (40 km) away . The shock wave was actually powerful enough to knock a man down; an unfortunate crew chief who was inside a nearby C-47 was severely incapacitated during a 30-minute ground run

[harsh quartz]

But why

[vapid smelt]

jet speeds with no need of jet i think

[harsh quartz]

I believe it, those triple props are loud as fuck. Our college class used to be next to an aircraft maintenance field for the military, jets and blackhawks aren’t too loud, but v22 ospreys, you knew when those things were close, couldn’t hear anything but those props

[winged spire]

Crazy how the US still has not said anything about the magic stealth blackhawks used during the raid on bin Ladin

[harsh quartz]

What are you talking about

[vapid smelt]

the one that crashed landed on his wall

[winged spire]

Nothing recognizable unfortunately

Absolutely no info on them to this day

[vapid smelt]

https://sofsupport.org/how-the-osama-bin-laden-raid-gave-china-its-new-stealth-helicopter/ china got some

[winged spire]

Lmao

[vapid smelt]

The tail section—the part damaged in the initial crash—survived.

[snow magnet]

I forgot about that lol

that thing is insane

[harsh quartz]

Probably cause they still want to use them. Very likely some of the aircraft used for the maduro raid or the exfiltration of the guy in Iran

[snow magnet]

Not as crazy but the P39's engine config is also neat

[vapid smelt]

i would rather die then fly in it

[snow magnet]

I mean

I'd rather fly in it

and possibly die that way
