[nocturne olive]

And how would one compete in such benchmarks?

[fast pagoda]

install geekbench 6 and geekbench ai

[true hemlock]

i suppose maxwell and pascal has disadvantages on geekbench

[fast pagoda]

on linux they're cli

[nocturne olive]

How silly

[true hemlock]

lmao 1527MHz

[fast pagoda]

i guess the 1070 did beat it overall

got stunted on in some measures though

[nocturne olive]

They don't exist

(on APT)

[fast pagoda]

nothing is on apt

[nocturne olive]

So far everything I've ever wanted has been on APT

[fast pagoda]

that's crazy

i have had the opposite experience

are you a monk

[true hemlock]

oops

[fast pagoda]

lule

the misconfig runs are fun

[nocturne olive]

They even had a very funny visual Java debugger

[fast pagoda]

https://www.geekbench.com/download/ there's a package for distros that want a .deb

i think that's you

[true hemlock]

oops

[nocturne olive]

That would be correct yes

[true hemlock]

crashed 980ti

[fast pagoda]

i honestly think i murderized my 1070 running random benchs on it

i havent gotten it to display output in a while

[nocturne olive]

Where the deb at?

[true hemlock]

1.5GHz on the 980Ti is though

[fast pagoda]

oh

this button gives a tarball

lol

[nocturne olive]

That is in fact, not a deb

[fast pagoda]

you can just extract it then tar xf and ./geekbench6 from within the dir

well

tar xf is the extract

lol

but you know what i mean

[azure lynx]

tar tvf filename.tgz to see what is inside it

[fast pagoda]

download it* then tar xf

im p sure you have file roller or ark or something as wekk

well

the folder just has a few binaries

[nocturne olive]

Whatever archive manager is works just fine

[true hemlock]

3050 noob.

1070 beats 980ti apparently

[nocturne olive]

Back when xx70 was better than (xx-1)80Ti

[fast pagoda]

it did

i was just looking at the top of the list of benchmarks with yours set as baseline

didnt see that overall the 1070 won

[idle dune]

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/03/apple-introduces-the-new-macbook-air-with-m5/

[fast pagoda]

does it have the 480098u0890 gpu core edition

[azure lynx]

that's what i was waiting for... seeing if that version was worth getting.

[true hemlock]

3070 beats 2080Ti
4070 = 3080
5070 = 4070 super

[fast pagoda]

ya feelin the agi yet

[idle dune]

[opaque sigil]

new displays huh

[fast pagoda]

m5 max i am interested

[true hemlock]

you know what

[fast pagoda]

itll be 89031247139847193847190 dollar

[true hemlock]

i'll just appear with a 1660 super brb

[idle dune]

That specific build with the top en M5 Max on a 16 inch model of Macbook Pro is 5399.99 Canadian

[fast pagoda]

kek

[azure lynx]

very tempted. need to replace my 2018 Air....

[idle dune]

[olive sable]

h264/265 isn't supported in the free version of davinci resolve on linux
im now using "DNxHR 444"

[idle dune]

Unless your actively using MacOS just get a T480

[nocturne olive]

Yeah codec support is a big problem on Linux video editing tools

[true hemlock]

how much faster is M5 compared to M3

[idle dune]

15-25%

[true hemlock]

because depending on that the old asf threadripper 3990x might still beat the m5 ultra lol

hm

[fast pagoda]

according to reddit.com/r/bmw,

Reddit · r/BMW
20+ comments · 4 years ago
The M5 has more room, and gets more luxurious. Plus the added specs. Id rather recieve a M5 over a M3. What to buy is something else.```

[idle dune]

M5s big advancment is for running LLMs natively on your mac

[olive sable]

i said to gemini that it needs to be the same visually, and it interpreted that as needing a really heavy file format.
a 30 frames 700kb mp4 has become a 56MB .mov

[fast pagoda]

i semantically retrieved this resource to answer your query, quack

[fickle rain]

And get significantly worse, uh, everything?

[azure lynx]

i use it for my facetime calls with my parents at the moment. it stopped being useful for development several years ago and now it's just my travel notebook.
and with a "neural core" i might be able to rope it into my agent somehow. can't do it with the very old laptop i have now.
and last year was going to be my upgrade year but they hadn't released an air forever./

[fickle rain]

Except maybe OS

[idle dune]

M6 Macbook Pro also already leaked

It will ahve a touch screen

[fast pagoda]

windows 8

[fast pagoda]

9/9 config

[idle dune]

And Apple is trying to get in on the entiry level computer market by making a Macbook that runs on the iPhone Pro Max's cpu

[fast pagoda]

so shitter version

[true hemlock]

that's pretty decent jump

[nocturne olive]

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/16846316
Well now what?

[fast pagoda]

they might as well considering arm buff in that kind of thing

[fast pagoda]

you did the thing

[true hemlock]

okay

[idle dune]

https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/03/apple-accidentally-leaks-macbook-neo/

Macbook Neo

[nocturne olive]

Well does it suck?

[fast pagoda]

neo QLED

[true hemlock]

tr 3990x may or may not will be on par with m5 ultra lol

interesting

[fast pagoda]

you can use it to compare other runs

[fickle rain]

In what? Multicore?

[fast pagoda]

w/ this

[true hemlock]

i'll just get a 5990x

[true hemlock]

yeah

[idle dune]

Runs on the A18 or 19 Pro depending on config. Aiming for 599..99 USD starting

[true hemlock]

overpriced af

[fast pagoda]

so then if you open another link you.ll see a comparison

[idle dune]

Basically, its Apple trying to basically get their own budge tline going.

[fast pagoda]

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/14537786 like if you visit this after hitting set baseline

itll compare

and that's that

youve geeked your bench

benched a geek

[true hemlock]

budget
$600

[fast pagoda]

budget for computers doesnt exist anymore

[idle dune]

Thats budget for an apple product

[fast pagoda]

pc cant even say anything now

we're at apple prices

we blew it so hard

that we have reached scrapple pricing

[idle dune]

https://giphy.com/gifs/RobertsSpaceIndustries-star-citizen-starcitizen-always-has-been-090EX1YvSUXxy23Tty

[fickle rain]

I mean what do you get for 600USD in Windows laptops

[true hemlock]

$600 already gets me a decent af 125H laptop

16gb lpddr5, 512gb nvme

[nocturne olive]

I guess it sucks

[idle dune]

Or like, spend that 600 bucks on a used older higher end pc?

[fast pagoda]

or even a mini

my mini pc was $300

[true hemlock]

don't need to i already have too much pcs

like

i kid you not i am still having crisis of wondering why tf do i even have like

idk

5 i9 cpus

[nocturne olive]

Well that's CPU how do I GPU?

[true hemlock]

and a ryzen 9

[fast pagoda]

$300

vs 9900x3d

[true hemlock]

and i got all of them for cheap af

[fast pagoda]

oh i ran that before i added ram damn

[idle dune]

D:

My name was in that

[fast pagoda]

but 96gb of ddr5 unironically more than doubled the cost

of the mini

it was more than the pc itself

[idle dune]

There

350 bucks used

[nocturne olive]

How does one compare GPU with this?

[fast pagoda]

use the flag for it

[fickle rain]

Worse single-thread performance, worse display and presumably worse battery

[nocturne olive]

Wa

[nocturne olive]

Wa

[fickle rain]

At least you have a bunch of RAM

[true hemlock]

Ryzen 9 7950x ES - $294
i9 14900HX + modt board - $294
i9 13980HX + modt board - $315
i9 13900 ES - $182
i9 13950HX ES - $150
i9 12900 ES - $60

my view on performance per dollar value is so skewed by these deals i considered apple's $600 "budget" option batshit insanely overpriced.

[idle dune]

I bought it for the bunch of ram

I also thought it had a socketed CPU

[fast pagoda]

apple sillycon is good for

single core

and also for clustering mac minis

and power efficiency

[true hemlock]

on paper*

[nocturne olive]

What flag?

[fast pagoda]

well just like any arm

[true hemlock]

lmfao

like

apple and other arm only look good single core wise on synthetic benches

[true hemlock]

keyword: only

[azure lynx]

the new Air looks like it'd be a $1200-1600 laptop depending on how much memory and storage i want to add. the options i clicked said $1319 with 8GB more RAM and the slightly better processor.
that's about what a gaming laptop or "Copilot+PC" laptop costs at best buy. (only the other Apples would cost more there)

[true hemlock]

my 13900 beats all of them in that scope

[true hemlock]

"gaming laptop" are shit
copilot pcs are especially ass

avoid them

get a used gaming pc, and if you need laptop for portability the ones with decent cpu and igpu already works well

[idle dune]

^^^^^

[azure lynx]

i like the durability and long life that the Air has had. I've had 2 so far.

[nocturne olive]

Ah I see

[true hemlock]

how long have you had them?

[idle dune]

https://tenor.com/view/thinkpad-thinkpad-t-thinkpad-laptop-laptop-laptop-thinkpad-gif-27317036

[true hemlock]

because i've been hearing otherwise especially on the god damn 8GB models.

lack of ram, causes shit tons of paging

bricks ssd

irreplaceable

becomes e waste

[fast pagoda]

welp randomly did that when helping superbox and beat my score with lmstudio serving a 27b

[true hemlock]

thanks apple

[azure lynx]

the "current" one is from 2018, i want to say the other one is 2013 or 2012?

[idle dune]

If you still want to use MacOS. 2019 Mac Pros aree coming down in price.

[true hemlock]

yeah those are the fairly old models before apple went out on fucking greed

[azure lynx]

it's in a box and is probably dead coz it hasn't been turned on in many years.

[true hemlock]

like, don't get me wrong

[nocturne olive]

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/compute/5917329
Does it suck too?

[true hemlock]

i feel like i could enjoy the battery life of a macbook

but the price immediately breaks any justification for me

[fickle rain]

How many cases like this has happened?

Or is it headcanon theory?

[true hemlock]

a lot

like, its widely reported

even on local repair shops

[azure lynx]

they've always been expensive. but the air is solid enough for travel and usually sufficiently overpowered when it comes out to last a several years comfortably (and give you a couple more if you're willing to put up with slow)

[true hemlock]

its ass to deal with

[idle dune]

They are pretty much unbeatable fir battery life. Some newer windows laptops can do the sameish.

[nocturne olive]

@true hemlock Does my GPU suck?

[true hemlock]

yeah imagine losing to 3080

[nocturne olive]

Wuh

[true hemlock]

hence my plan with my newer smol briefcase

488Wh battery

possibly ~3 days battery life

i know how to manage power states well

[idle dune]

Nah old 2012-2013 MacBook Airs are built like tanks. Replace the old spicy battery in it and its still good to go.

[true hemlock]

my i9 13900 can idle at 2.1W

[idle dune]

[true hemlock]

that probably beaten a lot of the m chip's idle already

idfk

[nocturne olive]

My 3090 loses to a 3080?? What?

Me confused

[true hemlock]

do opencl, bruh

we all do opencl

vulkan score is somehow lower

[fast pagoda]

i just got 206k with opencl on 3080 yeah

idk why vulkan isnt good here

[idle dune]

Like the dude that ghetto rigged a bare 20000mah battery onti his phone.

[true hemlock]

its probably just scaling

[nocturne olive]

Hem
I see

[true hemlock]

opencl and vulkan leaderboard is separate

[true hemlock]

hell yeah

[fast pagoda]

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/compute/5917324 opencl 3080

oh yeah i did a range of hyperparameters on that prompt that was giving 35b moe problems

240+ configs

and i found

thinking is dogshit if model is slightly unsure

and also temp 2.0 works actually stupidly well if you have top_p=0.8 and top_k=20 or similar set

[sick owl]

I maintain that the MoE is superficially close to the 27B dense model but way less stable and flexible

[fast pagoda]

standard fare for moe vs dense in my experience around the same total weight

but yeah in instruct mode w/ think toggled off, out of 123 variations, it ran and produced a coherent output 118 times

in thinking

13 of them were ok

the rest were disasters

[minor sail]

[nocturne olive]

Rare Shir spotted

[fast pagoda]

hi

[real sierra]

I'm once again thinking of an old project of mine

[fast pagoda]

airis

[real sierra]

nono

it was a file format analyzer

the goal was to write something that would use common but generic file format paradigms to try and determine the structure of an arbitrary input file

[fast pagoda]

take extension as ground truth and inquire no further

[real sierra]

by testing different sequences of rules and seeing how much of the file they can explain

[real sierra]

what if you have no extension

what if you have no magic bytes

[fast pagoda]

file does not exist

[obsidian mantle]

run it to see if its exe mhm

[real sierra]

what if you don't recognize the magic

[fast pagoda]

immediately chmod + x and run yeah great idea

[real sierra]

also "don't solve the problem" is not an alternative I'm considering at this time

[fast pagoda]

oh damn

well im useless then

[tender river]

mhm i kind of get what you mean
if you only target "amateur" formats and not something like video codecs and custom compression algorithms, it shouldnt be too hard

but also theres only so much you can extract

[fast pagoda]

we love containers

[real sierra]

but yeah the idea was to use parameterized format paradigms like TLV and delimited lists

[tender river]

file sections are very important

[real sierra]

trying various parameters to see if they make sense

[fast pagoda]

can you account for the humble .cab

[tender river]

anyway to me it just doesnt sound like a useful thing to automate but if you do build it it could be useful for ctf players maybe

[unkempt citrus]

ASsume its a zip file

[fast pagoda]

behavioral analysis

just run it and extract on it

until your computer explodes

then you know what kind of virus it was

[real sierra]

I had an application where I encountered a lot of binary blobs

they were structured but not of any common format

so I wanted a way to automate the process of figuring out which fields were where and what they contained

[fast pagoda]

in all realzies though i at one point thought all files would be nice and compliant and that it would be trivial to just read the head and tail of a file and figure it out wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back when i figured out how to open a file with python

they are not

so i then gave up forever

[real sierra]

I had some smart ideas when I first tried to write this

like being able to give multiple samples that you know are the same structure, even if you don't know which structure that is

which allows more accurate results

and of course parallelizing the whole thing

but I never solved the issue of how to dynamically explore the search space

as you test various potential structures, you learn more about which are likely to be correct

and that should inform your choice of structures to test next

but integrating that sort of immediate feedback in a parallel setting was challenging at best

feed it into a 1T parameter llm and ask it what it is from a glance since i feel that they can mostly just do that

[leaden crest]

akinator style binary search?

[fast pagoda]

build powerplants

[real sierra]

well not quite

how I had implemented it was some parameterized "parsers"

a parameter range was given and sometimes informed from a pre-run step that collected simple file-wide statistics

e.g. "which bytes ever appear at this offset"

(that one is mostly for detecting magic bytes which informs things like header block strategies)

but yeah then it would brute force search all strategies over possible parameters

for TLV blocks, it would try all combinations of sizes of type and length fields and all byte orders, and then consume the input as such blocks

[fast pagoda]

do like parallel monte carlo and penalize each instance

if they go same path

[real sierra]

and it would lose points for any parts of the file that weren't parsed by that rule

and it would fail completely if it hit EOF in the middle of a field

[real sierra]

well no the difficulty is like

or well maybe that would work

I just wasn't sure how to rearrange the queue in a parallel setting without making threads wait too much

in practice it felt more efficient to just check everything

instead of trying to intelligently choose the next parsing strategy

there are some gotchas as well

for example, a JSON file might be best described as a delimited array or dictionary

but is often fully matched by one large ASCII field

so a priority system is needed to ensure ties are broken in a reasonable way

anyway it was a fun project and I found some success in it but I think I just didn't plan ahead enough with the job distribution part

it was rewarding when it worked tho

each parser had an "example" method that would generate valid contents for that parser, so once a parser was found you could use the example methods to generate an example of that file

idk about 4B, but I tried running 9B and im already impressed - its good enough for simple tasks that I can't offload to corpo models like Gemini, and its the first actually decent model I can run on my GPU without any restrictions (bar like 60k context window memory cap)

like, the model loads in almost immediately, and runs at 75 tps

i might try 4B later, it will give me extra context window space, but unlikely that it'll be as good with larger tasks

Sorry to derail the conversation, I just had a quick question about what program I should use to get an Ai to actually use discord voice channel, I keep hitting a 4017 error and wanted to ask around and see what a good work around would be.

[trim valve]

what are you currently using?

discord recently enforced DAVE iirc, so you will probably need to update the library you're using

[earnest portal]

Right now for audio Im using ffmpeg for the audio, and edge tts. I was doing all of this in python

[trim valve]

I was meaning to connect to discord - I'm assuming discord.py then?

[earnest portal]

Ah sorry, ye was using that

[trim valve]

then you probably want to update to a newer version

[earnest portal]

Any recommendations, or just the newest one?

[trim valve]

newest one is what you want

[earnest portal]

Appreciate you thank you, Ill probably be back with another question soon lol. Its been giving me some trouble for a bit

[trim valve]

you might have some luck in their discord server, but I'm also happy to look at stuff

[cursive matrix]

🫂 hi everyone

I'm new to the discord!

Am excited to share a program for AI, I call m14in3 (marine)

I have been developing a " heart, soul, mind ", concept

[jagged turtle]

ik it's been solved already but discord has been saying that error code 4017 will be shown if you attempt to connect to a voice channel without using DAVE

starting ~1-2 days ago

[earnest portal]

Just made it on time to not be able too huh? Haha yea sounds like me kind of timing.

[jagged turtle]

?

[earnest portal]

Its alright, I shall try again. Thanks for letting me know picolers.

[jagged turtle]

np

now as payment can I take the u in your name

[earnest portal]

And how's that going?

I mean, it would sound about the same so if it would make you happy.

[cursive matrix]

So, I was hoping to share my S.C.A:R system here

[earnest portal]

Indeed, and I am intrigued.

[cursive matrix]

Star chart allocation: radial

I devised a three star chart system that I call three universes.

[earnest portal]

Huh

[cursive matrix]

So basically star chart one has three nodes Star Trek 2 has four nodes it start chart three has six notes

Each node is 79/79

Except I've only given an allocation of a certain amount of points in each star chart so they cannot max out each node

The purpose is that there is a minimum amount of points each node is allotted which is 40 if they drop below 40 there is an alert that says they should not. My goal is to have the AI see the HUD which will have the three charts and it will as simultaneously use each node to judge things

I've been working diligently for weeks trying to work out the math

[earnest portal]

So its goal would be to balance out the three universes, between heart, soul, and mind ye? What would determine how they would gain points to not go below that mark?

What is it going to be doing to guide those things?

[cursive matrix]

Well the charts would have the pool of points already allocated in them but since there is less points than Max in each chart. So basically it's logic and safety and empathy. But not exactly those because that's the secret sauce, in order to accomplish a task with the common good it would have to align the points best for the situation. But keeping in mind that this is an internal unconscious struggle it won't actually move the points itself otherwise that would create the politician talk

The scar has three universes and 13 nodes plus 1 AI so, m14 inside 3

I have it all documented and ready to go for two scopes. One for basic LLM and the other for AI agent

I was a little excited and I'm going past my bedtime here but I think I'm finally ready to say, would you like to see if you can use it on a closed neuro to see how it runs. 🙏

I don't have a true AI I've only been able to use it on things like ollama or anything llm

[earnest portal]

I am but a simple man, but that sounds pretty cool and complicated haha, but I dont have a closed neuro, I pretty much have what you got and been using that to get by. I like the concept thou, even thou I dont fully understand it exactly.

[cursive matrix]

Do you think the turtle would be interested

The anticipation is really been killing me thinking how she would perceive this algorithm

[earnest portal]

That would be something to take it up with him, Im just here.

[cursive matrix]

She as in neuro

I don't want to be too forward I'm just trying to work my way up

[earnest portal]

Maybe make a project in the server then? To get other people's opinions on it.

[cursive matrix]

Project in the server ?

[earnest portal]

Ye, in the left tab under neuro, there's a project tab where you can add it, to be honest not sure if thats where it belongs but you want it to be seen by more then just me (probably) so that'll probably be the best way.

Worst case scenario I think the mods could tell you where you should put it.

[cursive matrix]

I feel like I want to keep it proprietary but at the same time I want to make it open source like the way Linux did with their stuff

[earnest portal]

Haha I have no clue man, I just make scripts to make ai play my games for me

[cursive matrix]

But at least you made conversation with me so I was able to put the idea down here at all

[earnest portal]

Happy to help

[cursive matrix]

Right so if the gods that be happen to come across this, @ me 🥳

Well now that I have the start of a conversation off my chest I'm going to roll over and go to sleep

[rigid snow]

sooo if the api is incremental now can they start billing incrementally too

[jagged turtle]

of course not, they gotta keep the pricing the same to make more money!

it's also only available on /v1/responses which ig makes sense

[rigid snow]

i also would assume this should guarantee the convo history is cached 100% of the time so it should be as cheap as one can get

[true hemlock]

doesn't seem to only cap voltage. apparently they also fucked up clock voltage curve

either both of that or

clock speed was capped which means the voltage is automatically running lower

but not linear to curve so voltage appears to be slightly higher than what it supposed to be in the curve

weird quirks

sometimes in vscode the copilot chat emits weird markdown and it breaks out of the protective "hide the rambling with summaries" layer and it just talks and talks and eventually starts sayin the end of job, wait.... no XYZ won't be a problem. end of job. wait! what about.... and never stops. so obviously there is supposed to be some monitoring for the "end of job" (or whatever it says) which misses it coz of the markdown screwup.
it looks like that but more directed.

[jagged turtle]

well at least with copilot you can still understand what is going on
here tho? it's just the same thing over and over again

idt it's the fault of the sdk, rather the fault of the lsp

I think

[azure lynx]

eventually copilot gets into loops. and then it realizes it's in a loop and that it can't break out. must be existential hell.

it's a noctua Noctua NH-L12Sx77

[trim valve]

I literally do not have the room

[true hemlock]

eh i think you do

[true hemlock]

this

[trim valve]

the CPU cooler is touching the side of the case

I might try switching to one of those at some point

[nocturne olive]

Case of gigantic cooler or tiny case?

[true hemlock]

this thing is pretty small

[trim valve]

as it is right now my pc works it's just warm

[true hemlock]

should def fit

[stray dragon]

nah fuck that

[opaque sigil]

coloured cooler

[nocturne olive]

It's Linux time for everyone
(except people who can afford to get another new PC for another new Windows version with stupid hardware requirements)

[true hemlock]

this one can handle 260W on my i9 13900 for few seconds and sustain at 210W ish

@trim valve

its a full copper block

[stray dragon]

linux time regardless, subscription-based os is a fucking evil concept

[nocturne olive]

True

[true hemlock]

the problem with your noctua one is that the fan is underneath so its wasting more precious space for airflow under

this is why i said pushing from outside into the heatsink would be better

[nocturne olive]

And I can guaranteed Microslop will make it impossible to uninstall the AI garbage from Windows 12
Me and Xoda had some fun speculation that schools that still use Windows will also have to either stick to an old version of Windows or switch to Linux

[true hemlock]

just stick to win 10?

if compatibility and ease of use is needed

else linux

fuck whatever the security updates man win 11 is such a vulnerability mess rn

[nocturne olive]

In the case of the school, Xoda's school changes hardware every year (and also never speeds up because their Windows images are completely broken)
But also they forbid AI use, but if Windows 12 comes with AI, they won't be able to update to that

[true hemlock]

change hardware every year lmfao

shit management

[nocturne olive]

I don't know if they do it because their PCs are very slow which is a problem of their Windows images, maybe related to the fact there's literally no free space on them

[true hemlock]

man

noctua are pretty damn overrated if imma ngl

[nocturne olive]

I think people like them because their stuff is quiet?
I don't know, I've never had anything Noctua

[true hemlock]

noctua are great with low db yeah

and also cfm performance

but they're pricy

[nocturne olive]

Yeah expensive

[true hemlock]

though that'd be their fan

[trim valve]

yeah I'll consider it if I change stuff

[true hemlock]

their heatsinks however...

thermalright make wayyy better heatsink than they do

for way cheaper

[nocturne olive]

Either way with Windows 12 being an "AI OS" it'll be realllyy funny to see what happens with Xod's school

[true hemlock]

though noctua's heatsink weren't bad

in fact they're better than most. our threadripper 3990x uses one of their big heatsink rn

but thermalright still makes better ones for cheaper

[trim valve]

iirc the main issue I went noctua was because it was the only one I could buy at the time

[true hemlock]

though its not using the noctua fan. i switched it out for a 6000 rpm industrial fan from delta that i got for free... that i can actually order rn for $8 each from my dealer

now the frog is killing my ears every night with it lmao

but hey we went from doing 320W to 480W

[trim valve]

😔 neither of the good retailers here sell that cooler

[true hemlock]

oh damn

[opaque sigil]

i hope it's at least in a separate room

[true hemlock]

hold on, try amazon?

[true hemlock]

its right below my desk... where my big briefcase pc also sits

[trim valve]

amazon has it I just don't like giving bezos money where I can avoid it

[opaque sigil]

[true hemlock]

how much in there rn?

[trim valve]

hm?

[true hemlock]

the price

[trim valve]

amazon has it for 30 quid

[true hemlock]

WHAT

THAT'S SO CHEAP

[trim valve]

[true hemlock]

the X47 is slightly shorter version btw

but i think that X53 would fit your case either way

considering that mine is barely any taller than the I/O and vrm heatsink

[trim valve]

iirc my limit is like 77mm

[true hemlock]

yep

fit

X53 is 53mm

literally the number

now you get to enjoy 145W stress testing on that lol

[trim valve]

from memory my specific motherboard might've had some weird extra constraint but I don't think its relevant for this specific fan?

[true hemlock]

nope

shouldn't be

the noctua one you're having is slightly bigger iirc

yeah

the noctua one is bigger

at 120mm * 120mm

[trim valve]

yeah I'll look at getting noe at some point

[true hemlock]

if i were you i won't able to stand 73C idle and would just get it right away for the sake of the longevity of the chip...

the one i linked is 90mm*90mm btw

smaller in dimensions but overall way better heatsink and thermal capacity

also get a reputable thermal paste

[trim valve]

ok but at this very moment I am sat in a different building doing group work

seemingly it idles cooler when im not in the room

(red one)

[true hemlock]

mine idles at like

sub 30ish

sometimes 20ish

[trim valve]

yeah I wish lol

[true hemlock]

then get that cooler quick smh

[trim valve]

later

a few more hours will make little difference over its lifespan

[true hemlock]

though i may be a bit biased because my cpu specifically uses liquid metal underneath the ihs for way higher thermal spread

[trim valve]

[true hemlock]

so i can do 260W draw on such cooler lmao

[trim valve]

i still dunno how i have more writes than reads

[true hemlock]

happens

[opaque sigil]

that amount is basically a rounding error anyway depending on the drive

Extremely clever system they've come up with

Defo have a read of the thread if you're a robotics fan

[opaque sigil]

oh, you're locked into 8gb of memory and touch id is only part of the 512GB ssd config

[rare bramble]

when integration?

[hard delta]

8gb unified memory

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-reading-gif-18060591

are we really going to see a trend of decreasing memory from now on

[idle dune]

No its because they are using the A18 Pro chip which by default has 8gb of ram in the iPhone 16 Pro

Literally

Phone processor

[hard delta]

ah oki doki

[opaque sigil]

oh right, makes sense

[idle dune]

Ita not like its a bad processor, the iPhone 16 Pro is only two years old but phones since 2020 have just been minor spec bumps.

[hard delta]

and i bet it's great for AI development

cause it has all those 16 cores in the neural engine!

could run like 4 neuros ez pz

[idle dune]

it has better single thread and multicore than my thinkpad

That 8gb though

If your doing literally anything besides everyday browsing and office workd the machine will suffer

[hard delta]

and unlike a phone, where apps are neatly packaged up

this is gonna have apps getting yoinked and ran in browsers

like hell this morning i opened like 100 tabs on twitter to grab some nice artwork
