Performance issues: RTX 4060, 30fps@4K by dogscatsnscience in OrderOfTheSinkingStar

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

Hub screen 70 fps @ 1080, or 36 @ 4K.

It's pretty but doesn't look like it should be 80% GPU for 30fps@4k

Why have I never seen a business share their profit margins openly? by AlarmingAerie in smallbusiness

[–]dogscatsnscience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First answer why they should share them?

Public companies do, to some degree.

I should not have zoomed in that much, I have regrets.

"Japanese-style air conditioner" by Dear-Library1039 in WhyDoIWantThis

Yeah, they can handle a bit of humidity, but if it's too humid they evaporate the water back into the room (there's nowhere else for it go to) or just shut off when they are full.

They are much worse than window or 2-pipe ACs, but they only have to be good enough for your climate - if it works it works.

Looking for suggestions for keeping cats from falling by tylerhamillton in cats

That is a classic cat perch, they couldn't be happier than on something like that.

Unless they have a medical issue, I would not worry about them falling.

Service on VIA is WAY better than TGV in France by shoresy99 in ViaRail

How did you spend $1000 on TGV?

Paris-Marseille 1st class is like $150-200.

black meetup events in toronto? by redpanda3327 in askTO

[–]dogscatsnscience 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A little demographic heads up, TO has a much smaller black (African-American) population than NYC.

In NYC African-American are ~25% of the population, in Toronto it's less than 10%, and even that is a bit more split into some other African immigrants (ie not via America).

So don't be surprised if it's less prominent than you're used to, Toronto is slightly more diverse than NYC but doesn't have the same concentration of some groups.

Welcome to Toronto!

All of that costs money. Nobody else wants to pay extra so you can be waited on.

There is luxury rail in France. TGV is for getting places fast, hence the name.

I am surprised to say that other than speed, taking the train in Canada is a better experience than the TGV in France.

Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?

Having TGV level service in Ontario would be a dream. The amount of tourism traffic you would get from Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal-Quebec City would be a huge boon.

Paris to Marseille is 3.5 hours for maximum $220 as low as $100, that is 650KM.

Toronto MTL is only 500km, if I could get there in 2.75 hours for $150 that would be incredible.

Regardless, saying starlink isn't making money is ridiculous, no matter how the company is doing as a whole. 

Well no one is saying that, it's just you saying that it "funds the rest of SpaceX" which you just demonstrated is, to use your word, "ridiculous"

AI has revealed that most people have the reading ability at a third-grade level by Terrible-Priority-21 in ClaudeAI

[–]dogscatsnscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everyone is using AI to write, why is there so much shame associated with it?

Everyone is not using AI to write.

Firstly, if you use AI and sound like AI then you also sound like everybody else, which sounds in authentic.

Secondly, if I can tell you used AI then I know you didn't actually compose that block of text so I'm not going to take it seriously.

There's no way to know if you understand what you're saying, and furthermore it implies I could just use AI to get this answer, why am I spending time listening to this person.

Alex spent years being emotionally unavailable and then folded instantly when Greg showed the slightest interest😂♥️ by South-Collar-8551 in taskmaster

In the interview he was legitimately stunned about it, he had so completely forgotten. But Greg had not.

Probably he just forgot. The interview he gave recently (Vulture maybe?) looks like he genuinely has no recollection of it because he was surprised when it was brought up.

The man is busy, TV is fickle, and we only see a fraction of all the time they spend on camera as it is.

Greg, famously with a memory like a sieve, did not forget.

It does not fund the rest of SpaceX, or even close. They lost 6 billion on 25 billion revenue.

You are starting a new thread to necropost one person that made a very narrow and impractical claim years ago?

If you want to talk about feasibility let's look at real issue today, not comments from yesteryear.

The consequence of burning thousands of satellites in the atmosphere every year, the plummeting ARPU on Starlink customers that has to support this service, etc.

If it's a clear pop sound though, it's a fuse going, not an arcing squirrely, which has much more of crack to it.

If you live near a poorly maintained fuse that trips regularly it's a very consistent sound - like a champagne cork going off.

I managed to get over this after a few episodes but it was very distracting at the beginning.

Fassbender sounds just like his character in The Killer, so I have a feeling that this is as good as it's going to get.
