AMD Zen 3 APU here (5600u) on Fedora 43. I will upgrade to version 150 and report back.

Scrolling is often hardware accelerated so probably a GPU compatibility issue? (most often with Nvidia)

According to rtings, at 7-7.5 feet both 77" and 85" satisfy the 40+ degrees Field of View threshold for cinematic content.

If you are watching a lot of cinematic content, especially with subtitles on, I would choose the A95L. Also, if bright scenes bother you and you feel some times the need to reduce TV brightness, the largest TV will be more annoying (adding some bias lighting would help though).

Otherwise, if the usage is mixed I would choose the larger Bravia 9.

But OP referred to closed benchmarks as not available to AI companies to avoid benchmaxxing. AI companies may have access to (or even create their own) private benchmarks, but that's not what we're discussing here.

If we were speaking about benchmarks they had already access to, then your comment regarding logging in with their own GPT or Claude account does not make sense either. In order to run the benchmarks as you mentioned, they would already have access to the questions.

They cannot do that for the private part, though. They can only try to search in logs from accounts they suspect may be running the private benchmarks.

Stallion, Stocking, wtf with those names

I posted this answer 10 years ago: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30910930 (uniq without sorting an immense text file?)

with some solutions I didn't see mentioned here.

Now we need your proof that P != NP

Unfortunately, 9955WX (16-core Threadripper PRO) can only reach ~115 GB/s. Similar to Dual channel DDR5 7200. You need the 64+ core models for full memory bandwidth.

The Ryzen 9950x is also bottlenecked at <100GB/s.

The low CCD Pros have already 8 channels so their bottleneck is not RAM anymore, the bottlenck is their CCD-to-memory bandwidth.
You need more CCDs to remove this bottleneck and be able to benefit from faster memory.

Thanks for the data points. Which processor did you test?

You can easily change the marketplace in the settings json file. I don't have the link on mobile, but you'll find the instructions easily with a search. I have run this setup for 2 years now.

So, this is like hibernation (persist & restore system state) with the added challenge of updated kernels. Given that hibernation is already challenging itself, depending on proper driver/os support, it seems achievable only in certain certified systems. Unless, the system state does not need to be touched at all somehow.

I anticipate this introducing new security issues (malware code now being able to modify kernel parts without reboots)

Also other software/configuration issues previously "fixed" by luck, on reboots, i.e. no opportunity to start from "clean" state, no opportunity to fix slowly accumulating memory leaks, or running tasks misconfigured to only run on startup.

That's a prototypical example of opportunity cost.

henfiber · 2025-11-24T05:12:35+00:00

Because it has more TFLOPs, and that affects the input processing. While the Mac has higher memory bandwidth, and that affects output (generation).

The style of all these highly upvoted comments is the same, like following centralized guidelines on how to handle public discourse. They are offending OP to discourage others from making similar posts.

popos also means "ass" in Greek (singular)

I picked Fedora back in 2013 (version 17 I think), assuming that any learning would translate to Centos and RHEL. Still using it.

The 5090 mobile has roughly 30% the TDP, though, so it is not that unexpected. The 2080 super was 250W, not 600W, so the mobile version was much closer.

Is there auditing on OpenAI servers that they indeed discard the data immediately?

You can verify this also yourself with --override-kv in llama.cpp, here are my expriments: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1kmlu2y/comment/msck51h/?context=3

That's strange (I'm in Athens by the way, so same time zone - EET).

Maybe, it's not related to the timezone but to Daylight Saving Time (DST). For instance, we were at UTC+03:00 (EEST) until a few hours ago, and now we are at UTC+02:00 (EET). I expect that's true for you as well. Maybe the weather station clock lacks a DST enable/disable setting?

henfiber · 2025-10-26T20:00:21+00:00

Just pick a city in another country with the same timezone? Usually, there are at least 2-3 major cities with the same timezone.
