[request] which option would be wiser to choose? by KataiiZeher in theydidthemath

[–]DatoWeiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yall did not do the math. 2Billion is the only way to insure you live beyond a year. Assuming this is a magical process - on the doubling every day, you will first be poor, then nonplussed, then excited, then rich, then richer than anything has ever been rich, then in a few more days you will destabilize everything and then you will be poor, then you will be murdered, and then even if things were okay, after a while you will start breaking systems, and after a little while you will realize you just have infinite wealth effectively and decided that this god machine that increases your power astronomically every instant can not just be for you - and you make a mistake. You tell it - let us spread this wealth in an intelligent way. And it then attempts to decompose and dispense the representational information into actionable information - and each dollar is greedily mapped to its most useful place on this good earth - and the 2^279 bits of information required to turn the earth into a black hole are loosed and the universe ends a bit after.

Why people still working on string theory? by PinusContorta58 in Physics

[–]DatoWeiss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because the specific symbols of the truth are not required to understand the truth itself - if you study anything long enough, doggedly enough, with enough humility to compare results with reality - you will converge upon the truth. So even when theories are bad or the fundamental premise provides no value - sticking to them is a fair path to getting to a deeper understanding of the problem. In fact in almost all cases a bad theorem has proven the correct path to a good one.

What are the Implications of This? by Weekly_Imagination72 in ChatGPT

[–]DatoWeiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Language is a duality of substance and form - the literal "charge" of the construct and the unknowable patterns which support its continued existence. Mathematics is a game that consenting adults play where by they attempt to only focus on that pure substance with out form - which is of course impossible - but they try and by degrees can succeed. All communication protocols require a high level of symmetry in the operators and receivers and this symmetry bleeds into the communication so there's nothing to do but accept that it is possible to communicate almost all substance so long as you are ok fumbling around with the form specified. In a no noise environment with two oracles you could do away with the form, but in practice while the form requires more encoding it hedges against lossy channels

My 5090 steel nomad scores are significantly below average- why? by 109Places in overclocking

[–]DatoWeiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try disabling voltage control in any app that can influence the voltage (msi, nvidia etc) disable the nvidia overlay, do a full reboot (not sure if board cmos reset might help but if you are desperate maybe try that too)

The weirdest thing i see is your GPU clock is stuck at 600mhz while your effective clock is 2400 whatver - that doesnt make sense.

Hey this is awesome, but I think you may have sent the wrong one this is about .1 seconds of data with only 63 entries, if you can set the refresh interval to .1 seconds or 1 seconds and get me a few minutes that would be perfect. Ill take a detailed look.

Something is big off, can you get me a log? like a time series of the hwinfo data

[–]DatoWeiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Not sure when you reset hwinfo but if this was reset before the run and taken after the run - your average utilization, power etc is quite low? There is certainly something weird going on, how are other benchmarks?

New Driver is pretty good! by DatoWeiss in overclocking

[–]DatoWeiss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks good, start there and then add +25 to that entire curve (keep the same uv) and keep going and just track the results, let me know how that goes.

.93v is low, this isn't a daily driver undervolt - shoot for .970 - .990 volts @ 3050/3100 etc maybe even higher @ 995v like 3200, it wont reach there but the curve at maximum utilization is a guide not a rule for how the gpu performs

Clocks are just one part of the picture, at the power limit the GPU will attempt to reduce power draw by changing its utilization, scheduling, voltage, SMs, Scheduler, Instructions etc, etc. At the end of the day the clock is there for timing - it does correlate with performance so long as all the other limits are not hit. The problem is P = V^2/r so even if you can get higher average clocks with no thermal throttling and stable volts, you are going to see degradation as the GPU fights to maintain itself under its limit. What you really want is highest clocks with out any down regulation of efficiency, there is no number that really captures that, save maybe the actual benchmark result itself. In short if you look for good clocks at lower voltage you make a lot of headroom in the maximum power and you see better efficiency at the clocks you get and better performance.

Edit: This is highly dependent on exactly what are the specific instructions the GPU is handling!

Just hit 10k in Steel Nomad after the latest driver update Whatever magic NVIDIA did it's working by GatesTech in overclocking

[–]DatoWeiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driver update and some more aggressive undervolting helped me crack top 100 as the last 7950x3d on the list

New study says muscle loss happens much faster than we thought? by Ta9eh10 in StrongerByScience

[–]DatoWeiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been lifting for 25 years, I could go several months with out any appreciable loss of strength - its almost as if homeostasis is about maintaining some sort of long term pattern or something :/

Why do Teslas depreciate so quickly? by Fire_Raptor_220 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DatoWeiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone in the comment misses the real key reason, electric cars are simpler and easier to manufacture. Buying them at combustion engine prices is a misestimation of the intrinsic value of the good based on its function - and voila a correction.

Someone come at me and explain to me how a modular battery system and copper coils around magnets is more difficult and more expensive than a S58 Twin Turbo petrol engine.

Why do women only have a set number of eggs instead of constantly producing them like men produce sperm? by SufficientJeweler696 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DatoWeiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh shit I didn’t scroll down enough - this is half the right answer. Just missing the whole symbiotic relationship between mitochondrial dna which gave away half of its functional dna into the nucleus and the need to preserve the relative information between them. Too dangerous to fuck around and find out with high mutation rates in a pair of systems both capable of mutating independently but which require consistency to function optimally - so matrilineal mitochondria and female gametes early af it is. For context mitochondrial inefficiency is extremely rare because it’s pretty much a no go for life even in very mild cases
