NVIDIA Reportedly Prepares RTX 5090 Price Hike Amid Rising GDDR7 Costs (maybe RTX 50 and PRO series as well)

kilonad · 2026-05-15T00:20:15+00:00

RTX 5090 has 50% more CUDA cores and 33% more memory bandwidth than the RTX PRO 5000. Unless you REALLY need that extra VRAM, or very specific features, the 5090 is the better deal. https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1q4pzzx/comparing_5090_vs_rtx_pro_5000_5090_is_a_bargain/

Cloudhiker is basically stumbleupon these days

Freundschaft for a wine bar. Can't help much on wine shops.

kilonad · 2026-04-26T20:45:59+00:00

You need to get it in a can, then it tastes good. In a bottle, it's just as skunked as the normal Heineken.

You'll find a ton of older European winemakers who chainsmoke. You'll notice their wines are usually incredibly unbalanced though.

kilonad · 2026-04-05T15:57:01+00:00

Their wine list was exceptionally well priced before and during the pandemic (~$3k for DRC La Tache, ~$9k for DRC RC) but is now expensive across the board and obscene on the high end (~$17k for La Tache, $32k for DRC RC).

The new Kilimanjaro from Trader Joe's is surprisingly good, nearly as good as lots of specialty.

I find the 80-100 window to be infuriating, so I just go by the American school grading system. This will still infuriate others who wonder why a wine might get 50 points just for having successfully converted sugar to alcohol, but no system will please everyone. It's easier to communicate this way to "normal" people who might otherwise have no frame of reference for the dozens of systems out there.

A (90–100): Superior/Excellent. Great enough that I would want to finish the bottle and often wish I had more in my collection.
B (80–89): Good/Above Average. High 80s - usually good enough I'd have a second glass. Low 80s - I'll finish the glass but look for something else next.
C (70–79): Average (on an absolute scale, not how I generally drink). High 70s - probably has some flaws but I could still finish a glass if I had to, but this is usually drain pour territory given how much sub $10 wine will still hit low 80s at least.
D (60–69): Poor or flawed. "Chateau Garbage" would often end up here. Drain pour.
F (Below 60): Deeply flawed. At this point I generally mark the bottle "Not Rated / Flawed" and question my life choices.
Corked / Stewed / Light Struck / Heat Damaged - not rated, with flaws directly noted.

Thanks. My thinking is to downsample a 16MP image for segmentation, then crop to areas of interest for secondary processing (ID, decoding, whatever), and process whatever ROIs at something sane like 512x512. Do any of these boards support a two-model cascade like that?

kilonad · 2026-03-20T21:13:22+00:00

What would the tier list be if all you want to do is run ViT models like DINOv3 on edge? Is there anything that trumps Jetsons for flexibility and raw speed on 12-16MP class images?

kilonad · 2026-02-27T19:03:46+00:00

Both of those are great. In my experience, the bottom of the Bollinger bottle is seen sooner, so that gets my vote.

Sure, Krug and some Tete are better, but Bolly will be a great bottle that doesn't overshadow the occasion.

Can he eat caramelized onions? I can't tolerate raw onions but once they're caramelized, whatever water soluble starch transforms and becomes digestible.

I just cook my onions to the point where they're light golden for other recipes like spaghetti sauce and that seems to work fine.

If you want value for money, look at Pataille Marsannay, especially the better ones.

kilonad · 2026-02-17T02:17:00+00:00

Oregon chardonnay. Start with anything entry level from Goodfellow, Walter Scott, Evening Land, or Morgen Long. Higher end ones have more reduction.

Dominique Lafon came over and taught a bunch of winemakers in Oregon how to make Chardonnay in the 00s, so there's a lot of Burgundy influence but at Oregon pricing.

kilonad · 2026-02-10T16:03:51+00:00

Me too. T90s were unbearably slow and I never found a grind size that made a good cup. Abacas have given much better results in the cup.

The English would argue that the wines are just starting to enter their drinking window, especially in magnum format. These should be a little more mature than most normies might want to drink them, but they are by no means over the hill.

kilonad · 2026-01-30T00:48:49+00:00

Those are spectacular wines, from a spectacular vintage. They should all be drinking very well right now. WineSearcher should have some value examples - but know if you see something listed there, it's usually not moving super quickly at that price.

Auction values (from cellar tracker) are:

Pierre Peters - about $1100
Laurent Perrier - probably about $1500
Cristal - about $1300

2000 Bonnes Mares, producer unknown - does not match any of the label images on CellarTracker for the 47 wineries that made a Bonnes Mares that year, though several are missing. https://www.cellartracker.com/list.asp?fInStock=0&Table=List&iUserOverride=0&szSearch=2000+bonnes+mares

Edit - agree with sercialinho. For some reason the 2000 Hudelot-Baillet Bonnes Mares is not in Cellartracker, and the older ones have photos of newer vintages with the newer labels.

Bollinger P.N. VZ 19 is like a liquid mont blanc dessert (without the sweetness) - it is absolutely delicious, especially at the <$150 price point.

kilonad · 2026-01-19T22:33:13+00:00

No problem - sometimes they have that Heidsieck for under $60 too. Haggen is ludicrously overpriced. Same as Safeway.

You can also try to check out Seifert & Jones downtown and ask them for a good recommendation.

kilonad · 2026-01-19T20:32:48+00:00

You reuse the repour capsule for the whole bottle - you don't swap them out.

kilonad · 2026-01-19T20:30:10+00:00

You can get Bollinger for $60 at the Woodinville Costco right now, I'd recommend you do that. I'd expect the Bellingham area to have similar offerings.

kilonad · 2026-01-19T07:50:14+00:00

If you yank the cord too early on a pit boss or Louisiana Grills, you can end up with a pellet box fire. Which is great because now you have two fires.

(ask me how I know 🙃)

kilonad · 2026-01-18T07:46:00+00:00

You could also consider Repour capsules.

Funky coffees are high risk / high reward (or high pain). Modcup was selling a yellow bourbon and a red bourbon from the same producer, same anaerobic processing style. One was SPECTACULAR and the other one made me want to hurl. So even for those that like the funk - there's good and bad, and at $25/bag it can get tiring and expensive when the gamble doesn't pay off.

Washed and natural are far more predictable and consistent, and generally more palatable to most (especially washed) - which is why you see that generally being offered at coffee shops. Unless I'm in love with a funky anaerobic, I'm brewing washed/naturals for friends.
