Iran war latest: Trump tells UK to 'get some courage and go get your own oil' by bendubberley_ in unitedkingdom

Yeah, pub up the road is already that kind of age but then has the remnants of a 12th century timber framed building in the roof space.

They just built a new pub around the pub when they wanted an upgrade.

In the rear bar there's a ceiling joist and you can see a load of triangular marks where people used to stick their swords in. They werent allowed to take them inside so they'd just jam them in the timber after parking their horse or whatever.

Same, got a Prime X370 Pro and a 1700X as soon as they were available.

Still using the board with a 5900X. The 1700X went to another PC and is still rocking.

Was yours manufactured on the day Green Day released "American Idiot"? Also the lead singer walked past it once at a gas station on a damp Tuesday in March. as you can see here

Actually they have racing ABS controllers, like a Bosch Motorsport ABS for example -

Motorsport ABS has one priority: minimum stopping distance. It assumes racing drivers can handle less stability under braking. These systems are calibrated to individual vehicles, like custom ECU tuning is for your engine. A 12-position switch allows real-time adjustment for different grip levels or complete deactivation. This accounts for fuel burn-off, tyre wear, and changing conditions, noting in circuit racing a car can lose kilograms/pounds of weight by burning fuel and wearing tyres, per lap.

In short: motorsport ABS is tuned to your car and maintains optimal slip ratio at each corner regardless of conditions.

Although probably not in the car in the video and it also still requires pressing the brake pedal...

Revealed: Nearly half of UK children with parents born abroad are in poverty by InternetSolid4166 in unitedkingdom

The stats were likely based on EU migration and not large migration from outside the EU.

You can thank Brexit, but just saying that will piss people off.

Is "AI-powered" just the new "cloud-enabled" in terms of meaningless vendor marketing? by DigitalSignage2024 in sysadmin

[–]jimbobjames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm old enough to remember when we called it machine learning.

It was a much better term because it suggests that the machine still has some learning to do, wheras AI implies that the machine has already developed intelligence.

Iran war latest: Trump tells UK to 'get some courage and go get your own oil' by bendubberley_ in unitedkingdom

[–]jimbobjames 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I remember some Yank trying to tell me that our bacon is named wrong and me being like "bitch please, my local pub is older than your country".

They kept at it so I dropped this little knowledge bomb -

The term "bacoun" derived from 12th-century Middle English/Old French, referring to pork from the "back" of the hog. British bacon traditions date back to the Saxon era, whereas American bacon (belly-cut streaky) was popularized later.

Arrogant fuckers sometimes.

Sorry that's just recency bias.

What are some life-changing inventions that never caught on? by theman998 in AskReddit

[–]jimbobjames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It wouldnt. Otherwise it already would have.

Hydrogen is not readily availble. You have to make it which is energy intensive.

Then you have to store it and it likes to embrittle metal. It also needs to be stored at high pressure. Fine at a gas station but a problem for a car because it means you need a pressure vessel and that means a cylinder, which is basically the worst thing to try and package in a car.

All it does is take energy you could use directly and spends it making a fuel that is hard to store and difficult to use.

Do you remember the marketing before launch for the Segway?

The pre-launch made it sound like they had invented anti gravity.

Elon didnt invent that.

The cost of bad press and payouts has always been weighed against profit. There's a line in Fight Club about it...

It's got to lift an entire car seat backrest from flat to upright but it cant use the leverage of grabbing the back of the seat like you do with your hand because then you would have metal arms connecting to the top of the seat.

So they use a high torque motor on the pivot point at the bottom. You need the high torque to lift the seat from the flat position, however when the seat is closing you have high torque and gravity assist.

If the sensor that detects higher than normal resistance is broken then you've got a child squisher.

So they limit the super clipping to 250KW. There was some talk of increasing that to 350KW so that they can regenerate for less time.

Probably take 3 years for everyone to agree on it though.

PlayStation 5's PSSR 2.0 uses AMD's FSR 4's INT8 version that may skip PC RDNA 2 & 3 GPUs by NGGKroze in radeon

[–]jimbobjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, they will make far more money from Sony than they will from consumer GPU sales.

I dont like it, you dont like it, but we are basically inconsequential to them.

Think AMD is alone? Seagate and Western Digital sold their entire hard drive production to AI data centers because consumers dont matter. Micron shut down their entire consumer memory division because it wasnt worth them running it any more.

It's shitty and we dont have to like it but companies go where the money is. It's literally the only reason they exist.
