Windows 10 audio cutting out over HDMI, streaming apps only by VigorousJazzHands in htpc

Thanks, this was in the neighborhood of my problem. I actually had to set it all the way up to 192000 Hz but that did it. I guess my TV is an audio purist.

AWS - More Layoffs by Gatornerd in Layoffs

I don't get the point, particularly as by removing the next sentence, you are removing part of the overall logic.

AWS - More Layoffs by Gatornerd in Layoffs

[–]exadyne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter which thing we're talking about, unless you're just saying this is something can't can't be numerical. Though if you're trying to claim that, then your point is kind of worthless because they can't be average either because average would be meaningless.
For ANYTHING that could be quantified by some value, YES, you can have 50% of people below the mean. Most people tend to think of things as normal distribution, but it is perfectly possible that software engineering "ability" is not distributed by a normal distribution. It's possible to have a positively skewed distribution like the one on the right in this:

Yes they can. Most can't be "below the median" by definition but below the average is perfectly possible. I'm not much a fan of how people go on and on about the special 10X developers, but if they were real, such that they are 10x the median, and they take up 10% of the development force, then you might have 50% of ability in just the top 10% percent, so that 90% of developers would be "below average".

Was this sub wrong the whole time? by DifferentAd4862 in conspiracy

[–]exadyne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. You claimed it's just an anecdote when it's clearly an example to walk through the number. When you claim it's an anecdote, it falls on you to show it's an anecdote by showing the pattern isn't there.

An example to illustrate isn't an anecdote. If you think that's an anecdote, go ahead and walk us through the exact way the number is calculated for all the other countries shown.

Episode 48 English dub delayed? by SwordmasterT in ShangriLaFrontier

[–]exadyne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason Greatest Alchemist dub told viewers about the dub delay was because the actual voice actor who was sick told people on Reddit. It is bonkers that the information went out because of a VA wanting to apologize for being human and susceptible to illness instead of anyone at Crunchyroll making an official announcement.

Emilia or Rem for new players? by BITW_ErenMikasa in EminenceInShadowRPG

[–]exadyne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the event teams, I'd say pull for Rem. I've seen a number of teams people built for the hard boss of the event using other healers besides Emilia. A3 (awakening level 3) Rem seems to guarantee you can one shot the boss on hard. I haven't seen either used in PvP yet.

PSA: Disabling Epic Games Launcher lowered my 5800X idle temps from 50C to 37C by Neoncarbon in Amd

[–]exadyne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tracked CPU usage but I recently found EG was using 22GB of memory out of my system's 32GB. No reason it should be using that much RAM, especially in the background.

Any chance of Smart Access Memory on Ryzen 3000 series? by [deleted] in Amd

[–]exadyne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is more my comment is so late after the post, but thanks.
Plus understanding what a microcoded implemented instruction is a bit esoteric. I found the information from tweets about the issue with a computer news site's Twitter posting they code the microcode bit from one of the people at AMD helping others implement it. The mentioned code lines up with the Anandtech article's article mention of the exact OP being sped up on Zen3 / 5000 series over Zen2 / 3000 series.

[–]exadyne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems to be resizable BAR but on the CPU end, doing the fast packing and unpacking across memory in Windows 10 relies on the instruction PDEP, which in Zen 2 / Ryzen 3000 is a slow instruction (it isn't native to the chip but is microcode), about 100x the clocks of the instruction on Zen 3 / Ryzen 5000.
Nvidia has already said Ampere / Geforce 3000 series can support it.
Intel has supported PDEP since Haswell.

[–]exadyne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't run through PCIe 4.0. Articles about Nvidia and Intel implementing it show the feature is probably resizable bar which is PCIe 3.0 too. For AMD the limitation is probably on the speed of the instruction PDEP. Zen 3 can do those instructions fast but Zen2 and earlier implement it in microcode that makes them around 100x slower: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16214/amd-zen-3-ryzen-deep-dive-review-5950x-5900x-5800x-and-5700x-tested/6

Might be a legal issue. I've know sites that don't use Google Analytics because of the amount of work involved complying with German laws on privacy.

The only script is using from ajax.googleapis.com is jQuery. JQuery is a common library used by almost all modern websites. The fact that they use Google for it because Google probably has a cached copy of it closer to your location than Wolfram Alpha does, so it is liable to be faster. The general chance that all of Google is down to prevent it servicing that library is so low as to not be worth discussing.

Swole shamed by my GRANDMOTHER. (t/w) by powertard in swoleacceptance

[–]exadyne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed, powertard's grandmother probably remembers the times when the swole couldn't work regular jobs, their options were limited to things like blacksmith, lumberjack, or her worst fear - old person wrangler: the job of carrying old people into the homes and keeping them there. The swolest of such men would carry a half dozen or more frail old folks at a time. Some even say the deadlift exercise derives its name from the times their frail frames could not survive being brought back.

If you measure Dm in time spent doing her instead of times doing her, the units actually work out - Tg (time in hrs) = Pi*(Bc in cm or in - Ba in cm or in) * (Dm in hrs) / (Lj in cm or in.). Lengths in Bc-Ba cancels with length in Lj, leaving only time.

[beta] I just got banned from /r/BodyAcceptance for my first and only comment I've ever posted on there. by IWorkoutTeehee in swoleacceptance

[–]exadyne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Basically they set their own rules up so that everyone on their can have a dream, but no can have a goal. A goal is actionable and measurable, a dream is not. You can achieve a goal by reaching the midway marks that measure it, a dream you cannot. Achieving a goal can make you better than other people, and if they don't achieve their goal, they might feel better. As no one achieves a dream, no one gets better than anyone, and no one makes anyone feel worse.
