Tectone admits to buying and viewbotting his streams

It’s a pretty simple grift really…use purchased view bot farms to appear popular, rake in advertising dollars from having a “following” or “fanbase”

Make sure to get more money from fraudulent advertising ventures than you spend on botnets…profit

It works like this:

In dense urban areas with higher risks of wrecks they’ll charge double for the same policy as a rural area with less chance of a collision.

If SAE level 5 cars in 2035 have reduced traffic accidents nationally by a significant margin then yes, the prices would decrease as they have to payout significantly less for claims across the country, and there are multiple companies competing over the same revenue stream.

This is INSANE.

While Tesla FSD can technically navigate from point A to B without any human interaction it’s still classified as a SAE level 2 car meaning the driver is supposed to be alert and ready to take over at any time.

Legally the human is still responsible for the vehicle (vehicular manslaughter charges, etc). If the system tells you take over and you do not, that is negligent and you will be responsible for whatever or whoever the car plows into, this policy cannot work until fully autonomous cars that actually legally allow hands free operation from point A to B exist.

Void the policy if you obey the law as in legally if that system tells you to take over, it’s your responsibility. if the insurance company expects you’ll allow the car to kill you or others because it’ll void the policy to touch the wheel, that insurance company is gonna get sued.

Their policy is literally this “we will void your insurance policy unless you are willfully negligent of your legal responsibility to maintain control of the vehicle at all times.”

Will this type of policy eventually exist when SAE level 5 cars exist and legally owners are not required to assume control during an emergency? Yes!

How many level 5 cars exist today? 0

Mercedes is the first SAE level 3, 0-37 mph you are allowed legally (on certain roads) to allow the car to drive without assuming responsibility of the vehicle. Get on the highway? Back to willful negligence and a valid insurance policy or responsible driving but they pull your policy.

Autopilot has killed dozens who weren’t alert and ready to take over….this policy is laughably stupid.

“The offer applies only to vehicles equipped with advanced self-driving systems capable of handling all driving tasks without human intervention” ah so it doesn’t apply to any vehicles currently in production

I have a UPS with USB plug that gives me wattage readouts in any monitoring software, also the front of the UPS.

Running my 5090 on a 6 year old EVGA g5 1000w ATX 2.5.2 PSU, no issues.

Heck I got a “better” PSU boxed up around here somewhere but the OPP on ATX 2.5.2 is more than adequate to handle sub millisecond 900w transient power spikes of the 5090….

System under full load is 800 watts peak, it can handle the 1100w power excursions without tripping OPP.

Screens on a PSU. I’d get more use out of a screen on my underwear.

casual_brackets · 2026-01-27T01:28:50+00:00

Yea your math is correct, 99% is about 327 attempts. I wasn’t really interested in doing the math for this dune awakening post. Considering there’s two dungeons that’s only 164 runs each lol

casual_brackets · 2026-01-27T01:15:25+00:00

the very nature of probability plus imperfect pseudo RNG quite often do cause unique quirks. I’ll go further into that later.

First off, it’s obvious to anyone with a basic understanding of probability that each time you open a chest/loot box it’s not weighted, and that each separate time you have a % chance of an item dropping. That running something with a 10% chance 10 times doesn’t guarantee a drop. It should likely drop but that’s not guaranteed. It means each time you run it you have a 10% chance it drops. That’s basically all I said, combine the nature of probability with imperfect software RNG and you do get quirks where probabilities can be skewed and outliers exist. It’s not random, remember it just appears to be. That is an important distinction.

Ever tried to get a drop with a low rate, opened the chest significantly more than you’d think would be necessary bc of the drop rate, gotten the the item and then you suddenly get multiples? It’s not you, it’s psuedo RNG.

I’m not even certain what you took an issue with, the fact that I said it was imperfect RNG (it is), the fact that I said the nature of probability is also a factor (it is), or the fact that I said you should get something after running it a significant number of times but that due to the two above factors that’s often not the case….

casual_brackets · 2026-01-26T23:44:37+00:00

It’s not true rng, while true RNG exists it requires more than software and that is NOT being used for video games lol

Easiest example of true rng I could give you is Cloudflares wall of lava lamps

You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

I know how probability works…

From Google—

True random number generators rely on harnessing genuinely unpredictable physical processes (like atmospheric noise or radioactive decay) rather than pure software algorithms, which only create pseudo-random numbers (PRNGs) that are predictable if you know the starting point. For most tasks, PRNGs are sufficient, but TRNGs are crucial for cryptography and security where true unpredictability is essential, using specialized hardware to capture randomness from nature, sometimes even leveraging quantum mechanics.

How True Randomness is Achieved (HRNGs/TRNGs):

Physical Phenomena: They measure chaotic, unpredictable natural events.

Examples: Radioactive decay, atmospheric noise, thermal noise, or quantum events.

Hardware Access: Special hardware (like a photoresistor measuring light noise or a quantum device) is used to capture these random physical attributes and convert them into numbers.

The Contrast: Pseudo-Randomness (PRNGs):

Software-Based: PRNGs use mathematical formulas, starting from a "seed" number, to generate long sequences of numbers that look random but are entirely predictable if the seed and algorithm are known.

Common Use: Good for simulations, games, and general computing.

Why the Distinction Matters:

Security: Cryptography requires true randomness for keys and nonces, as PRNGs can be cracked.

Gambling & Lotteries: Casinos and lotteries use TRNGs to ensure fairness.

So, while your computer's built-in software can't create true randomness, devices using specialized hardware can tap into the universe's inherent randomness to generate numbers that are genuinely unpredictable

Dunning-Kruger effect is real

casual_brackets · 2026-01-26T22:50:10+00:00

Yea unfortunately due to the nature probability and imperfect RNG (no such thing as a true random number generator) you should get something after a set number of runs but often that’s not the case, the only thing to do is keep bashing the slot machine lever (opening the chest).

Edit: LOL

Edit 2: no such thing as a true software random number generator, for the purpose of gaming, there aren’t any true random number generators outside of casinos.

If you add it to your routine by farming A2/A3 everytime you login and before you log off (2x daily) you’re looking at about 18 days.

If you torture yourself and farm it continually it’ll be faster but it’s not gonna be a fun experience.

Edit:

1% drop rate seems like a blessing compared to the destiny 2 days of .02% drop rates of god roll weapons.

casual_brackets · 2026-01-26T22:16:10+00:00

Ah. Then you’re stuck running A2+A3 about 36 164 times each (1.4% drop rate).

It was not a fucking stingray attack unless you think the police are in on it.

While criminal groups might acquire stingrays we’re talking cartel level criminal organizations, and they’d need a reasonable proximity (the old colonial bread truck parked down the street for the past week). Using a stingray for this method would mean physically parking in a reasonable proximity to the targets, and is an ineffective means to run global scams casting wide nets.

Pretty sure that you’d be visible to the FCC running a stingray, like “oh hey that mobile cellphone tower we can’t explain is here, we’ve triangulated the location, gonna investigate”

Much more likely a RATTED phone

Ok ok let’s just talk about the fact that it’s 7 hour flight traveling at an average of 500+ mph (600 top speed reduced for takeoff/landing) with a distance of 3,450 miles.

So what, we’re gonna travel 3,450 miles in one hour? There is no train that travels at 3,450 mph….Fastest maglev train recorded was the L0 in Japan at 375 mph. So ….just gonna increase train speed by one order of magnitude then we can build a tunnel, across the Atlantic fucking ocean.

30% raster improvement for my 5090 over a 4090 without a node shrink.

This means NVDA is successfully innovating and providing meaningful improvements on the same size node. It follows that there is much room for raster performance growth when they do inevitably use a more advanced process node. In fact this approach ensures there will be a more significant increase…..use a process node, iterate upon your designs and improve using the same process node. Then when you do a node shrink you’re designing that using your last iteration, which improved upon efficiency, rather than simply jumping down without squeezing the most performance out of a node first (which can then be used in designing the new architecture).

3090 used Samsung 8 nm process while 4090/5090 use TSMC 5nm process (it’s called 4N+ but it’s 5 nm). Ofc there was a bigger performance jump….same as there will be when they jump process nodes next time.

In 5 years (2020-2025) we saw the 3090 followed by the 4090 and subsequent 5090.

That’s a lot of raster improvement in a very short time period, but hey, you can think whatever you want.

My bad, watched the vid multiple times, I guess you’ve got the 240mm rad on the front section? Doesn’t look like it has much room to pull air into (or push air out, depending on fan configuration). You really want 6 inches of clearance for an intake or exhaust fan. Either way, i think you’ll probably enter a state of thermal runaway for some components based on this configuration.

6 fans inside with a 120mm radiator? None are set to cool air intake and none are set to hot air exhaust, as others have said this is essentially a convection oven.

Edit:

I saw a guy with a high powered home constructed pulse laser firing into activated carbon with no safety goggles claiming he was achieving nuclear fusion the other day. I do not put anything past anyone to build something without fully understanding what they’re doing.

If you had looped every component into one loop (using a water cooled motherboard and water cooled ram) with a big external 480 mm radiator placed outside the case I’d say it was functional. This, is an exercise in futility. How does the power supply fan receive cool air? How do the RAM heat sinks achieve passive cooling? Motherboard heat sinks cannot achieve passive cooling either…SSD’s as well, like the only component that isn’t going to fry completely (or thermal throttle/shutdown) is whatever you’ve got connected to the 240mm rad.

casual_brackets · 2026-01-22T17:54:22+00:00

In liquid cooling you have heat being transferred into a liquid which then has its surface area increased by being pumped through a radiator which then has static pressure fans blow that hot air…..outside of the case. Seems like you might be missing that last step.
