RDNA1 isn't good for a whole lot, even flagship RDNA2 cards are a stretch for many things. The lack of WMMA/matrix multiply/BF16 is too severe of a penalty. The FP16 throughput on RDNA1 is both shader reliant and requires eve

Sounds reasonable to me. But also what the fuck happens to the core of such a planet when that happens? We aren't actually sure what gave our core the spin it has, right? I'm not fully awake yet but I think it's plain where I

Came here to say this. I saw someone call out the stock performance of $OC (shingles) vs strong el ninos... it seems so obvious. What else is like that?

We used to raid the "dumpster" of nearly expired hostess products at the local hostess factory, and no bullshit fill the back of a jeep with twinkies and ho-hos and king dongs, then go drive on two lane roads and throw them out in

The most I will say about the bullshit we got up to, as "the last chopper out" before literally everyone had CCTV, is that we made it our personal goal to get everything we did listed in the local newspaper's crime blotter

We used to do this and more with nerf guns, laser tag, and then paintball guns. You're not going to believe this but we even used to be able to ride our bikes 30 miles away from home without our parents being arrested. We played with f

You must not be paying attention, they already have. Intel is going nowhere but we all knew that anyways. And again, you must not be paying attention, AMD is doing exactly what they said they would. No flagship for RDNA4 (just like RDNA2),

This is so critical. Not just verifying the hashes, not just restoring, but actually booting into it and opening the top 5-10 things you're going to care about. If it's your personal stuff, skip it at your own peril. If it's

I stopped short of flying out to do these for them but that is absolutely a thing too

Yeah, no. I don't care if I have 128gb or 2tb of ram, or what I'm doing with it (but especially in live/realtime scenarios), I'm always going to have at least one nvme dedicated entirely to swap.

Never went to college, but I made pretty good coin writing papers for friends who did. It's always been my understanding that virtually everyone cheats (doctors/non-computer engineers aside)

You seem to have forgotten to include every single setting each user can change.

I just don't care. These people are supposed to be smart and I'm not really seeing that

Remember when that unicode string nuked iOS 7 and you could set it as your SSID to get them stuck in a loop? good times.

Naive monte carlo on a phone from 10 years ago is likely enough unless you're quite good at chess

Yes you're missing several obvious things. Even saving the last changed date (nevermind every change date or what the change was) for every setting for every user would be earth crushingly wasteful. The value by itself isn't even

I helped swap a mess of ClearCase & Subversion over to git (early 2010s). What a fucking cursed piece of software! Will admit it got exactly one thing right, which could absolutely justify everything else (including the price) for a lon

The only thing I've ever wanted is an apple watch that's thinner than the first one, my wrists are big enough I don't need a chonker. I don't care what time it is anyways

I'm not sure that anyone is running production workloads against an API that bills twice as much for a chunk of the day. One of the best things about Deepseek is that you can host it yourself and get a ridiculous multiple of usage for

It's not going to be enough. The naive approach of a project I've been working on was pushing >10gbps over the local network, after a ton of work I got it back down under 1... and now it's processing so much more shit that

As someone who has a few top 10/100 overclocking records across various Zen configurations, you'd be very surprised what a couple C does for peak/sustained boost clocks.

Money isn't the issue here, I'm trying to determine if they are able to offer a better value/speed than I can currently extract from renting a 3+ month block of cards myself. Time is a bit more important to me

Oh I'm glad that's soon, I don't usually use a calendar but I've set a reminder to check. Ask chat about it! I have a pretty limited understanding of any of this shit but: I wasn't really able to find a satisfactory

Based on the leaps in local inference speed in the past month, which have been absurd, I'm p confident we're going to whiplash from compute constrained to storage constrained. Bit apples to oranges, but it reminds me of all the fi
