So you paid for 1 year of warranty, and expected them to give you free labor for a replacement or a discount on a part replacement? Not sure any other company would do that either, if it's out of warranty you pay parts and labor, that&

Ryzen 9 7900 2x48GB AMD recommends DDR5-6000, so I underclocked DDR5-6400 to DDR5-6000. The 96GB ram was under $300. $ ./a.out 1 59.2 2 76.9 3 66.8 4 68.7 5 64.0 6 67.1 7 63.9 8 66.0 9 64.0 10 65.6 11

Not many codes are bandwidth bound, but you can't say without knowing the use case. Another factor is mac's have many more memory channels on the m1/2/3 pro and m1/2/3 max. So they can have many more memory tr

Bandwidth increases nearly linearly with adding dimms until you get to 1 dimm per memory channel. After that there's very small improvements related to more open pages. More open pages doesn't help with pure bandwidth benchmarks

In the first case I'm dubious that MT7981B can handle usefully more than GigE with the usual small packets, firewall rules, anti-buffer bloat, QoS, numerous clients, and related that people expect of a router these days. Seems to reall

Sure there's a bit of a premium, seems like a pretty big CPU and PCIe upgrade and would allow 2x2.5G.

What's the complexity? They start at $70 or so in the RK3588S flavor, it's basically a CPU with a PCIe bus, the software, board complexity, and cost seems just about the same as the proposed OpenWRT solution.
398.
by sliken 3y ago
RK3588 can handle 2 2.5G ports. Would bump the price a bit, but also is a significant CPU upgrade so you are likely to get much better usable bandwidth with packet inspection and/or QoS.

Seems odd, what's the point of an asymmetric speeds on a 2 port router? Dual 1G (cheaper) or dual 2.5G would make much more sense.

Sure, it's just an AP, it connects wifi to you network. But there's no requirement to use unifi for the rest of your network. Personally I'm happy to trust ubiquiti with my AP, but not with my router.

I suspect 24/7 use of a tesla would consume most of it's useful life in 1 year. Also electricity isn't free so that's going to be a substantial code and likely several sets of tires.

Every review I've seen for the apple silicon macs show they do quite well, especially compared to similar PC laptops. So not zero impact, but MUCH better than the competition. I'm not basing this on impressions, but the publishe

Definitely a nice GPU, but considering airflow, power use, heat generated and the like it's more like a GPU with a PC attached, not so much a PC with a GPU attached. Not very portable either.

Very common on pc laptops, doubly so with discrete GPUs. However Mac laptops seem pretty good about not thermally limiting and are especially at giving same performance when plugged in as when on battery. PC Laptops with discrete GPUs ofte

Sure, but laptops are generally more expensive than desktops. Your config also includes 1/4th the memory bandwidth.

I did have IBM's C compiler and a full set of printed manuals. Never clicked for me. I did however get turbo pascal, it was amazing. Compile/edit/run cycles measured in seconds. Online docs/examples, etc. Ended up re

Making spaghetti/tortellini/noodles, coffee, malt-o-meal, oatmeal, etc seems common enough for most to not be a "almost never use case". At least on stoves I've seen.

Heh, I wrote a pascal program to draw the mandelbrot set. To make a print out I wrote a fortran program to convert it to postscript. I printed it on a giant lab printer that took up a wall of the lab. It normally printed 60+ pages a minu

I've wondered if signal would be more secure if each signal account periodically sent a message to another signal message. The client would of course decrypt, notice it's just a fake/noise message, reply to it, and then dele

The plots are pretty messy, clearly something is being missed. To avoid prefetch (in the compiler or hardware level) for stride N shuffle the reads to make sure you read each cache line exactly onces. Then you'll hit TLB issues. To h

True, but the phone will detect that as 0 acceleration because it's in free fall. Same if you were to throw it hard enough to launch it into orbit.
414.
by sliken 3y ago
Don't think you can calculate that based on acceleration, you are at zero g the entire time you are in flight. I suspect it's looking for the acceleration peak when you throw it up, as opposed to just dropping it from a high buil

Nothing anywhere close to event horizon can "slowly spiral in". There are no stable orbits within 1.5x the diameter of the event horizon. To get anywhere close without falling in would require a very powerful rocket, one that co

Objects falling towards the event horizon accelerate ever closer to light speed, which causes time dilation. So it's not just that light takes longer to escape, right? The dilation gets pretty extreme, you could watch suns be born and

Depends on the size of the black holes, spaghettification because of a high gravity gradients is a problem when you are close to the center of the black hole. Larger black holes make the much less of a problem, so you can cross the event h

Yes anything falling in approaches the speed of light as it approaches the event horizon. So to external observers they slow down. However keep in mind that all black holes are growing (and will continue until the cosmic backround radiati
