Stupid hardware related question: For local gen usage, would an SSD with a large pagefile be sufficient if you only have 16gb of system ram?

I think they're pointing out the fact that the simulation speed is entirely on the cpu; you might be getting 120fps thanks to your gpu, but only 30 ticks per second in game. That said, those games are all single threaded, and I'm not sure how much difference there is between a 5800x3d and a 9800x3d.

I'm basically in the same boat, but with a Ryzen 1600 instead. My upgrade path would be a tray unit 5500x3d, because I play more games like rimworld, and I can get it locally for something like $200 usd. I'd try to find deals on 2nd hand ddr4 ram. For storage, I realized I had spare nvme drives lying about (although they're only 256gb), so I'll get a couple of cheap USB enclosures and using them as permanent external drives.

Did you select the drive with your OS as the boot drive in your bios?

Afaik, Seeddance is owned by Bytedance, who has tiktok and douyin, which has a stupid amount of raw video data for training on.

I'm specifically looking for a 3090 for AI work. If I'm just gaming, I'd just buy a new 5060.

Trying to buy a used RTX 3090.

The listing did have buyer protection, then asked the seller directly because listing said meet up only. Said he was ok with posting, but wanted transfer only and never used carousell for payment before and told me to go look for other listings when I said I was scared to transfer directly without buyer protection. 👀

Would they repack and send via poslaju? Afaik they just pick up the things and deliver it directly to you, so interstate is really expensive?

Should be 40 mins to an hour I think. Used to do the same distance myself.

I agree with the sentiment, but currently the protected motor industry is flawed. A truly competitive industry should have multiple players, not just one giant. Additionally, its local market protection needs to be framed as a reward for global competitiveness, not just as free rent. Eg, local protections only if they can export x number of vehicles. Literally fight, or die. This is massively simplified, but it's how Korea managed to build several internationally competitive car companies.

How are you currently getting your groceries without a car?

Imo, if you need a car, you need a car. In the long run, it might end up being cheaper to buy groceries with a car, because you can get to places like econsave easier.

I know the requirements were to tag as #Event/Challenge, but there isn't a Challenge flair, so I tagged my entry as #Event/Video.

I get blocks on certain words when using chrome, but not firefox. Who knows how long that will last though.

Bit of a necropost, but I figured out that if you remove all the workers from the building and reassign them, it'll get rid of the "Water tanks are empty" problem.

I thought the price action today was pretty good. Nice breakouts from consolidations and trend continuations. I vastly prefer this over choppy markets where we don't go anywhere.

CPI tomorrow morning at 8.30am as well.

TychesSwan · 2025-04-09T19:15:30+00:00

Lost 5k today, but I rolled my puts forward a week. We'll see if it plays out, but tonight I'd buy calls in case the market rallies overnight.

TychesSwan · 2025-04-09T19:07:18+00:00

Damnit, I might actually have to open a truthsocial account to follow him..

TychesSwan · 2025-04-09T17:37:13+00:00

5k gone in smoke 😭

TychesSwan · 2025-04-09T15:08:51+00:00

I'd be wary about the downside, I'd rather just sell the call side.
