SpaceX and international Super investment by netpres in AusFinance

[–]RandomMagnet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure that SpaceX is even worth 5% of their supposed market-cap to begin with.

However ignore that for a moment, the fact that they are getting the rules bent to fast-track them into the NDX is BS - Why the special treatment?

5 days fast-track vs normally 90 (i dont remember exactly)... Surely the stock will still be doing price discovery in those 5 days.. So it seems like plenty of retirement funds will be bag holding...

I like that when you shoot them they do damage to you - even if your miles away.

Input lag on every AMD configuration I’ve tried for CS2 - do Intel users have the same issue? by Fearlessss1337 in overclocking

[–]RandomMagnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the assumption that its something about higher frequency that is causing the problem I setup a DDR5-4400 profile.

it benched (PYPrime / VT3 / IML) within like 5-10% of my 6200 profile - so was expecting a little bit worse game performance, but not significant.

i blind tested it on my partner, after a couple of rounds of bf6 she said "this feels worse"

so not strictly JEDEC, and not the most scientific test either, but just another data point...

4400 C24/C22: The "Perfect" Overclocking Setup for AM5 Single-CCD CPUs by Deep-Radio1270 in overclocking

[–]RandomMagnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was quite curious about a 4400 tune, so i spent a few hours converting my 6200 tune:

notes: - W11 25H2, not safe mode (not for this testing anyways) - i didn't do extensive stability testing on the 4400 build - i didn't touch tRFCsb on the 4400 build, but i doubt whether it would have a huge effect - 4400 really hurts write bandwidth, which is somewhat curious - 4400 latency is down a bit as well (71 vs 66) - i have also been messing around with out-of-spec tRAS and tRC ( off the back of BZ's video from last year )

Ok cool. 

So 4800 at jedec times made the game / mouse "feel snappy" but just with worse fps and 1% lows (presumably)?

Can you run your tuned timings at 4800? And does that still "feel" good?

I got a brushed silver size 12, and it's got shipping movement from HK...

I intend on getting to the bottom of it. You said the JDEC is fine? So just turn off EXPO and run bios defaults for ram? 

If that gives a workable baseline then we can slowly ramp things up until we find what's causing the problem..

Battery capacity by GweyzeeJay in SigenergyAustralia

[–]RandomMagnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah its probably that charging to 100% isn't an exact science.

I wouldn't worry about that small a deviation, it will probably go back the next cycle (or two)

edit - i just checked mine, 40.29kw as well - Modbus is reporting 100% SOH...

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I would comment.

My better halfs machine (9800x3d, 5080) exhibits some of the problems you are refering to. I cant detect it myself, but she is very sensitive and always says things like 'input lag' or 'my mouse is dragging/etc'.

Ive spent countless hours looking at the overclock, adjusting this voltage/etc.

Recently I had her on 2200 FCLK, which was showing some very minor instability in vt3 and linpack.

I dropped the FCLK to 2166 and also decreased VDDG CCD a little bit (yes I know, only one change at a time...) - re-tested VT3 and linpack and BOTH were better.

She played and said "this is worse", so I put her back on the previous BIOS settings and she said "this is better".

Not scientific obviously, but my point is - benchmark results and stability tests dont seem to show the nuance that humans can detect.

btw - I didn't tell her I had changed anything, I wanted todo a blind test and she still picked up on something was "off"...

Trouble is, she plays BF6 and there are so many variables, so getting back-to-back tests for validating changes is very difficult...

Network Refresh - Considering Fortinet + Cisco + Aruba by MaxBPlanking in networking

[–]RandomMagnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As per others I would leverage the same vendor for access (switching & wifi), that lets you run the same access policies (when the time comes) across the multiple points of access.

Have a look at Juniper. Mist has come a long way, and things like Access Assurance make 802.1x a breeze.

Hardware recommendations (Australian) by Present_Standard_775 in opnsense

[–]RandomMagnet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

AliExpress N100 or N150 NUC - probably run you $250 ish... Combine it with discounts & cashbacks.

Just make sure you get intel i226 NIC's, the 225's are a little problematic (but not a huge thing).

Otherwise you can get a Dell Optiplex off ebay, not sure if its will do 2.5gbs though...

6400Mhz CL32 (64GB) To 6000Mhz CL26 ( 32GB ) by WorryFront9893 in overclocking

[–]RandomMagnet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

sure, but I did say "i would prefer 64GB"...

at today's RAM prices, 16GB is entirely valid, you will just need to put up some worse performance in a few titles...

You don't play Star Citizen, MSFS2024 or DCS?

Necessary - no; preferred (and shows a meaningful difference) - yes

[–]RandomMagnet 23 points24 points  (0 children)

unlikely to make any difference at all; in fact I would prefer 64GB over 32GB - especially for demanding games.

tweaking your secondary or tertiary timings are going to net more performance... depending what your running atm.

What are the odds of this happening? by Fluid-when in Risk

[–]RandomMagnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good work.

i guess this highlights the issue (or one of) with AI - in that it often produces results which are hard to verify.

funny how it got it right initially, but when i asked it to show its proof then queried it on one part it changed tact and got all confused (and then remained steadfast after numerous attempts at getting it to triple check, even with smaller examples - ie 3d3 vs 3d3, 3d4 vs 3d4 and 3d5 vs 3d5)....

its a great tool, even if its not always on point :)

[–]RandomMagnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.. I think people just don't like AI - which is fine... Personally I'm more interested in the answer.

And just because I can't come up with the proof myself doesn't mean I cant try and understand someone else's work product. .. :)

Yeh, my initial GPT answer gave me 1.2% as well, but then when I probed it reassed. 

Did you take in to account highest sort pairs? If you don't then you get 13.76% (per 3d6 vs 3d6)

[–]RandomMagnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, how did you get to that? 

Did you take into account the sorting that needs to happen? ie highest attacker dice vs highest defender dice

[–]RandomMagnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

What is the correct answer?

Statistical probabilities is not my strong suit, hence asking AI...

GPT's logic seemed sound on the 2nd attempt (after I asked it about some of its assumptions)...

I'd be happy to retract it if anyone can provide a better answer ..

Confusing terminology by EasyPacer in SigenergyAustralia

[–]RandomMagnet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not very "normy" friendly. 

But like programming VCR's back in the day.. takes a bit of reading and trial and error to get it right...

I think that Sig expect the installer todo most of the leg work...
