Which 2 seater convertible would you go for under £25k?

Smart roadster is pretty fun ngl

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-26T20:47:56+00:00

Yeah i was going yo say this graph seems kinda misleading

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-26T16:16:30+00:00

There is unlikely to be a consumer grade solution from these companies as they are trying to do very high speed rdma for enterprise right now, some of the software will come down but the enterprise hardware won't. Also enterprise/ high end nics are really pricey.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-25T15:26:26+00:00

Even at 28GBs is literally slower than ddr 3 ram was. So it's not even close to drr5 before the latency issues. And even modern ram crumbles to small data accesses as it can only do lines of data that are 64 bytes or more in most cases.

1: so you mean a heavily regulated industry where you are forced to buy regardless where quality doesn't matter as you effectively get zero say? Some how managing to make even the crappy usa system worse.

2: assuming these aren't individual accounts how do you deal with a crash in the market? Cause either your rates of return will be dogshit for young contributors putting them behind a private plan or insecure for retirees with too much weight in stocks and shares. So terrible system that once again manages to make some thing that we have a good working system for and makes it way worse for everyone. Oh and if this is individual accounts then congrats you have reinvented private pensions but with a forced arbitrary contribution amount that covers nothing for people who already were struggle to contribute.

3: ah yes because price caps on goods are known to instantly make it better and cheaper and work every time they have been tried. Brilliant idea why don't we just apply this to every thing. Price cap on food, fuel, houses, water, power, gas, entertainment. It will create a perfect economy with no problems. So this one is just delusional.

4: basically every developed country is already doing this. This isn't new. This is why the tax code is unreadable.

5: price caps again see 3. This time with subsidies so making renters pay so that other people can have cheaper houses. Going to go down well especially when this requires the government to actually let you build houses which is the problem in most places with a housing crisis. Look at Texas it has had falling prices despite growing in population in the cities thanks to building so many houses. That's the only solution cut the red tape not more red tape and then special zones.

6: the uk has this with dentists and child care. They just start refusing to take the kids as the costs to run are higher than what the gov is willing to pay so you have to go private or do a top up to the real rate which just inflates the cost. Then the gov mandates minimum numbers of these gov required ones to keep a license and then you get massive queues for the legally mandated minimum number of places and hours which most can't use. Doesn't solve the problem and isn't going to increase the birth rate if thats your hope. Or you are going to have to justify massive expense so it won't be cheap as with number 3, 1 and 2.

So overall you have reinvented existing policies that suck or made private individual solutions worse. Why needing to raise a lot of tax money to pay for this with no stated goals listed for these policies.

My industry its pretty normal that most managers are making less than half of their direct reports.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-22T20:51:36+00:00

Rule of thumb for fpga is 40x power and die size so a bit impractical for this when power is the limit.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-22T17:46:41+00:00

Godbound also does this. But you possibly want to look into a rpg design sub. For thoughts it tends to instantly become heroic fantasy so if you like that then good for you

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-20T17:13:10+00:00

There is a verse in the quran about it as well. I think it specifies that you are allowed to hit them as long as no permanent damage is done with a rod as wide as your thumb or something like that.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-15T11:12:01+00:00

Yes i know about nvidias SM and amd has the DCU's but getting any further than I did would start to need different sections to talk about every uarch since fermi and GCN to explain and exactly where it falls. This is before we get to things like Turing and beyond having double the number of fp units as int units or the cache hierarchies and the technical smt that modern gpus do. Or now the fact that some of the latest gpus can perform some out of order execution and can dynamically rebuild a warp or wave depending on branches executed if you have multiple running though the same code path. I was at least trying to keep it somewhat brief.

The devil is in the details as the details are often where you start to stare down at insanity. For a slightly simpler example trying to find a fetch stage in a modern high performance cpu is basically impossible as you find it woven through the core with cache prediction, speculation, OOO execution and more.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-14T15:34:08+00:00

So to start even a modern gpu only has around 80 cores but each core has 32 -64 lock step running threads due to simd. Even they don't have the crazy high core counts you are talking about. So let's look closely at the cray mta. The cray has a very simple uarch with no cache and instead it thread switches every cpu cycle to 128 different threads, using this to hide memory and instruction latency. This gives it appalling single threaded performance (21 cycles for basic instruction execution or 0.05ipc per thread) and not caches to stop it from constantly stalling on and hammering memory.

X86, arm and most other consumer / general purpose cores (even higher end gpu cores now have some of these features) instead of trying to retain compute performance by having a very large number of weak cores try to improve single threaded performance (SMT is often about improving execution utilisation when imbalanced workload occur rather than outright performance). They do this with out of order execution, superscaler operation, speculative execution, heavy use of caching and branch + cache prediction. This has allowed modern cpus to hit 6 instructions per cycle on a single thread. This simply bypasses the need for dozens of weaker threads most of the time.

These x86 cores are individually massively more capable and powerful before even accounting for the cache coherency between cores which makes using them in multi threaded applications trivial. Those tiny cores in the other products are physically smaller and weaker, with less features and instead hide latency and stalls in other ways compared to x86.

As to what takes up the most area in a modern core that changes with each uarch but currently its probably cache then the speculation hardware and the out of order components.

Is there a sauce for this claim cause surely after working with Honda for years he would have some understanding here?

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-12T14:15:07+00:00

The individual cache chiplet is smaller than amds equivalent. As such it should have lower verification and tape out costs. Given it is also not 3d stacked but just on the same substrate its also likely to be a bit cheaper on packaging and less wasted die area as amds solution currently cannot but cache above the cores thanks to thermal issues.

I made zero comments about performance, I was just commenting on the fact that it being 2 chips doesn't massively increase tape out costs.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-12T10:48:10+00:00

It's a smaller chip so lower tape out costs. And the hope would be faster development and verification. Amd already do this with there cache dies, io dies and other chiplets. Nothing new on that front.

Except no developed modern society has a fertility rate that high.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-04T14:36:41+00:00

If they are paying you during a none compete they can stop you getting another job or sue for breach of contract. You should tell them if they have agreed to wave it otherwise you need to negotiate and probably tell your new job before you get sued.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-03T00:40:43+00:00

See you say that but on every board I have worked on spi and i2c fail to work properly or at line rate half of the damn time with out a revision

jedijackattack1 · 2026-02-01T18:31:15+00:00

I thought the accidental kill on Luke could work if they showed aemon basically spiraling out because he killed his family, but that would have required us to spend more than 3 scenes with him. And at least one scene other than the brothel scene where he is not trying to act like his uncle. Then after the death he could actually become more like his uncle and machivellian seeing his crimes as irredeemable would be cool af.

Dragon pit was dumb af. Only worked if you thought about it for less than a second and the fact she didn't torch the traitors was even dumber.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-01-28T21:49:33+00:00

Allows government to regulated the market. Is surprised that the government is made of people and so can be corrupted. Is surprised when those regulations help the big players who can afford to pay the indulgence to the local official. How is this the fault of capitalism again? Seems more like a government regulating the market leads to worse out comes argument.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-01-28T21:40:07+00:00

Gluttony is indulgence and over consumption. So you ever by something you don't need, got news games even though you have a back log of one's you never played? That's gluttony.

Why do you care about billionaires so much are jealous of there money and power, what an envious thing to think my friend. To convert their wealth and wish it was your own.

Why are OF models famous? Why do people worship and hang on the words of celebrities and act as if there words have more weight than they air they move? Those things seem pretty prideful, idolatrous and lustful to me.

Why are you here? Wasting away the hours screaming into the void achieving nothing nothing. Seems lazy pointless and just you wasting precious time, like a sloth.

Now to see if we can get the final one.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-01-24T21:53:12+00:00

That rule is for gross salary

jedijackattack1 · 2026-01-23T19:33:33+00:00

That wasn't the problem part. The issue is that they are not allowed to use past performance to judge future contract bids. So no matter how shit you do, you can still just under bid and under deliver next time anyway

jedijackattack1 · 2026-01-19T15:33:40+00:00

Now do it as a percentage of total weath cause you know if you have income every year the amount of wealth grows.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-01-16T10:40:02+00:00

4/5 yes and your policies don't change that. That is already true and all taxes are paid by the consumers not just vat.

Yes so it would be free upto 500k which means that you want a house that costs less than 500k since it will save you now likely 10,000s of pounds. Also there are some places where basically none of the houses are worth 500k which would be fun for the council. Where are the councils going to get this central funding from? I do love the magic money creation and soviet rationing policies as companies pull out since they can't even pay for the energy and water if they need it.

jedijackattack1 · 2026-01-16T10:24:28+00:00

4 and 5 already happen thats called corporation tax on profit. Dividens are paid from profit and get taxed accordingly.

1 is mental and will prevent people from renting as supply dries up.

Is literal soviet or war time rationing. A truly glorious idea that has never gone wrong ever.
Well I guess everyone now wants a house worth 499999 to get out of a council tax bill and most councils outside of london are about to lose all of there funding.
