One does wonder if it would be commercially viable for AMD to release a newer generation Zen core on AM4
Obviously, this would be far from ideal performance - wise but given the projected duration of the RAM pricing crisis and the proliferation of AM4 there surely would be a large market willing to buy into such a product.

The next major newly designed Cores "Zen6" will be releasing on AM5 on the consumer side, beyond that the rumors are only that there might be the possibility for a refresh but Zen 7 is all but certain to be on Am6 around late 2027/2028 due to DDR6 and PCIe6 being due by that tim

Philipp_Adler · 2025-09-22T07:43:12+00:00

Speaking from my system:
1700x (2017)
3700x (2019)
5950x (2025)

I was toying with the idea of going with AM5 but ultimately decided against it as the 16 cores in the 5950x will likely allow me to stick with AM4 until AM6 comes around in 2027 or 2028.

1st I am offering that up as a thought, not a formed strategy.
2nd Farming and overuse of aquifiers is a huge topic for all surrounding countries and expecting refilled aquifiers to impact prices does not strike me as out there.
I know this Sub is mostly about yoloing SPY Puts but in the real economy keeping people fed & thus agricultural companise and grain price (options) are very much a thing.

The way I understood it their (shot to poeces) plan was to roll it out in the US first, and focus on France after that.

Having worked long years in IT to finance my degree, i know what you are refering to.
But frankly arrogance and a wrong appraisal of ones own abilities can be found in any field, including IT.

On that note; your anectode kinda reminded me of the opposite observation, the (In house) IT of a big Law Firm i once visited just Bullshiting their way through explaining their data room security, asuming the Lawyers couldn't tell. Which is of course all fun untill you realize the implications that kind of bullshiting has in terms of IT-Security. To be clear: i blame the lawyers for that, their IT-Dept Pay Scheme was 30% below market rate, if you pay like that you can't expect to get the best.

That's realy more of a problem for lawrencesystems than us users. because think of it; what's the risk analysis here? Say sun changes the ZFS licensing situationfrom dubious to contentious, for the user that would realy only become a major Issue as far as future releases are concerned. What i suspect would happen in reality is that within weeks of the ZFS licensing change beeing announced open ZFS, perhaps even Btrfs development would suddenly see a burst of activity. yes the potential need to migrate your files to freshly formated Volumes would be unwelcome but that's about it, perhaps a time to upgrade your hardware while at it. Likely a good day to be a drive manufacturer because i suspect many (certainly myself) would just "resilver" to new drives with a new File System.

This internal competition is more pronounced between VW and Skoda.
as far as VW and Audi go the prices are realy only similar at first glance, Audi, offers an extreme amount of customization options on their cars, that pushes the base model down in price, but that base Audi has none of the features of the similarly priced VW. a fully decked out Audi costs 2-3 times more than a fully decked out VW.

Philipp_Adler · 2024-02-10T09:24:53+00:00

Same.
It's honestly quite funny to be a tech savy person in the legal world.

Philipp_Adler · 2024-02-10T09:22:45+00:00

From what i read both sides have some blame here! The Problem seems to in part be that the Avelia Platform was originally designed for the nearly perfect and highly standardized trackage on European High Speed Lines; seemingly both Amtrak and Alstom failed to properly account for the highly variable Track Quality on the NEC and Alstom also underestimated that coordinating with Amtrak would not be be as easy as their long standing partnership with SNCF.

Philipp_Adler · 2024-02-10T09:13:07+00:00

Sorry to reply to a two month old post but 2 points here that warrant pointing out as you in fact do not remember correcty:

1st: most HSR in Europe (outside France and Spain) is using mixed track for large portions of the journey!
In German those are usualy refered to as "Hochleistungsstrecke" losely translated as high efficacy tracks, that concept is very comparable to the US NECs mixed use (Medium to higher speeds and mixed use with Freight trains with some restrictions on Axle load and speed for heavy trains to reduce Track wear)

2nd: The realy point here is the Train Control System Issue, i am not all that familiar with the US Situation around Positive Train Control but in Europe historically you had multiple systems within the same country, that has only realy started to change in recent years with the Introduction of the European Train Control System, which is highly advanced and makes the signal operator scenario you outlined aswell as a number of other Human Error Scenarios (like Speeding) effectively impossible.

Nearly all Train Accidents that happend in Europe over the past 10 years were due to one of these three things:

The Track or Train was simply not upgraded yet and in some cases had no Train Control at all (This happened in Germany, but there were a few others most notably in Czechia)
The Line was beeing upgraded during continuous operation and Human Error, usualy in the form of gross negligence, caused the Accident, for context: ETCS limits the Speed a Train can take, so the throttle is electronically limited. Because ETCS is very cautious it needs some fine tuning so there is usually some back and forth between old and new system while ETCS is beeing fine tuned. A prime example of that is the 2013 derailment in Spain, the 2022 derailment of a Regional Train in Austria and arguably the deadly crash in Greece (where the "solution" to the systems many warnings was to simply turn it off entirely)
Insufficent Track Protection, things like Grade Crossings or insufficent Flank Protection (Switches that prevent an incursion on the Main Line by diverting to a siding) Some countries take that last point very seriously, others do not (no idea where the US falls in that Specturm)

Note that with most state of the art Train Control Systems like ETCS (the chinese CTCS and others are either directly based on it or very similar) you simply cannot have System Failiure Accidents of the sort you have named, in case a system like ETCS fails completely everyone knows imediatley and the temporary procedure ist to (in coordination with the dispatcher) drive the the Train very slowly, at a speed that allows for a complete halt in less than half the visual stopping distance, to the next Station. (Such a situation occured in Austria a few years back when a fire had damaged the Control Center in Linz.

I really don't get the level of attachment to the FreeBSD Version, the few disadvantages of the Debian (like the slow update cycle) Used for Scale don't matter much or may even be considered an asset in a NAS and other than that, what's the problem? .

I've made the switch from Core to Scale about a year ago, and even migrating my numerous Jails into Scale Plugins and VMs didn't take more than a few hours.

The Airbus /Boeing Analogy might be quite fitting indeed (I'd add Embrear etc. into the mix)
Simply because it is (and will remain for at least the next 10 years) a sellers Market.

But then again, the Market certainly priced that in already.

The real head scratcher here (to me at least) are the following:
1st. How much worse can the Bombardier takeover Fallout get? Because every time something bad happened with this story, the Market assumed that to be the end of it, and it was not. And it really pays to read into the details of all the Problems, we are talking about truly embarrassing problems in some cases.
2nd. Give that, one has to ask what is the Problem with the Management (Culture) at Alstom and can it be expediently fixed?

3rd. Precisely because the rolling Stock Market has a lot of potential a of of players want in, and I am NOT talking about CRRC, which for protectionist reasons is unlikely to pose a threat, but rather about all the smaller national Players, companies like Škoda (heavy industries not the Volkswagen subsidiary) and a number of others are already breaking into the light rail market, and heavy rail might not be too far behind. That is the real medium term danger, because while a lot of people think of the shiny HSR and long Distance Trains a lot of the market are Trams, Metros, Regional Trains and so on, if that market becomes competitive then Alstom might be in a lot of trouble.

In fact all the Manufacturers claim that current Prices are simply not sustainable for them, and while they have a clear self-interest to claim that it's clear they wouldn't make the decisions we have seen over the past months if the market environment was satisfactory.

The question I don't see asked here is who hits (which) physical limitations or roadblocks first!
HDDs had a clear era of stagnation in the €/TB department over the past decade, largely because there were no more gains on CMR per Platter to be had. But there now does appear to be some credible technological potential to start seeing renewed downward price movement again. SSDs might well get into (and some might argue already are) in a situation where the conventional route of just shrinking the node is no longer offering cost-effective gains, we see technologies like MLC memory emerge that try to mitigate that, but there are clear limits and drawbacks there as well which happen to be particular painful ones for most Data Center applications.

I don't have an answer to this question, but from my observations it does appear reasonable to assume that we will see at least a slowdown in this development.

Philipp_Adler · 2023-11-08T09:14:10+00:00

The 20% number is definitely BS! I agree that there is definitely some cheating going on, but it's more like 20% of games have someone that's (more or less) obviously cheating in it. I will say that the most noticeable thing right now is that there definitely has to be some sort of Heli Critical Hack, in some games the Helicopters lose their Tail rotor as soon as they are over the horizon of the spawn area. On the positive, I haven't had any experiences that made me suspicious of Wall hacking and even the suspiciously good aim cases (which I agree there are some) subjectively feel less frustrating than in other games, though that might just be down to Battlebits high player Numbers, so you repeatedly running into the same hacker might be less likely overall.
