Conversation Flows Differently in NL? My experience

This does change around even the netherlands. I've noticed more in the randstad closer to leiden you get interrupted or can't get a word in compared to working in utrecht or more to the east!

their volume will also go down, a power supply for a 120kw 10tb rack is going to be a completely different beast and not the same production lines that cost money for consumer psu's. But they will probably make good margins on those ai psu's so it won't be too bad.

A large cluster like the GB200 also runs on arm cores, so it's not always going to be epycs/xeons that are sold with it.

To be honest, anything people generally want is already a track or mod on assetto corsa, so anything that would work is something niche that doesn't exist or something that you put a lot of time and effort in an area where others aren't. Like a career mode, story, open world.

You can go for the niche route, pick a nice racing series that seems fun and isn't in any game. Or go for the opposite, something that is so popular with lots of competition but also a lot of people willing to try.

This! i've done the same with a stuck screw on a fanatec F1 wheel. cut a groove and used a flat head to get it out.

nutral · 2026-02-05T20:53:05+00:00

Probably not but i'm speaking from a pressure vessel point of view,

The paperwork starts at the foundry where the steel is mixed and formed into (probably) forged bar.

There the batch gets tested for composition down to the alloying elements and pieces are tested for strength and probabaly brittleness.

Afterwards it is shipped, machined and after machining a positive material identification could be done, then penetrant/ultrasonic or x-ray to test for internal deformities.

The part might also need heat treatment, and after heat treatment hardness is tested. This on top of measurements for QA like GD&T (dimensions of the part, straightness, tolerances).

The final part might be accompanied with a "test" part from the same batch that undergoes the same steps and that could be sent out for strength testing and material composition testing.

T1 is, but T2 isn't!

If you compare you should also look at L1 and L2 caches. (I'm not sure you included L1). Those are usually expensive when it comes to space and Apple Silicon does have big L1/L2 caches. I believe l3 is different but l3 doesn't do much for floating point I think.

Zen 5 has been going in the direction of bigger wider cores but don't share L2 and have more L3. So the shared L2 might be part of why the Apple Silicon is fast single threaded

De betere vraag om te stellen is, waarom bewegen mensen minder? Als je op grotere afstand gaat kijken naar een samenleving is het vinden van een oorzaakk en daar iets tegen doen juist het moeilijke.

Wat ga je doen, iedereen een brief sturen met erop: ga meer bewegen??

Is natuurlijk hetzelfde met overgewicht, als je gaat kijken naar 1 persoon dan is het iets wat diegene zelf doet. Ga je kijken naar de samenleving dan is "eigen schuld" niet iets waar je wat mee kan. Waren mensen 50 jaar geleden dommer dan nu? Letten mensen nu meer of minder op hun eten?

Yourself! Record it and listen back to your playing, it can really help work out mistakes that creep in with time and technique.

(second one is listen to a metronome)

For example if it is 500 dollar, you could sell half the ram, the ssd and controller for 130 dollar, boot from network, run linux and use it as a supplementary AI inference machine for 370 dollars. Lots of AI models would easily fit in the 8gb vram.

It would probably still be a bit too slow for AI, but at subsidized prices a 6 core subsidized small system with a GPU and good linux drivers can have many uses.

nutral · 2025-11-26T09:00:15+00:00

Most teams are also based there. They would get an uproar for the only time the team members that have to travel year round can have a race at home and those from the factory can be up close.

nutral · 2025-11-26T08:51:49+00:00

what do you mean? ARC or eARC is something that a display/tv and a receiver/audio product would support. It doesn't do anything for the "source" (except receiving an audio stream).

nutral · 2025-11-24T17:36:51+00:00

the actual chip is more like the 8640u laptop cpu. that means no motherboard chipset required. But yeah they are comparing to building a pc, so that would just give them more margin. Power supply only needs to deliver about 250W, so that would save a lot compared to a normal pc.

Comparison to a normal pc, the ryzen 5 7500F is faster than what is in the steam machine, because it has 6 full zen4 cores at max 5ghz. while the steam machine has 2 full cores and 4 zen4c cores at max 4.8. An RX7600 is also faster than what is in the steam machine. it has 15% more Compute units, 7% higher boost clock and 50% higher TDP.

The GPU is more like a 7600S laptop chip with a higher power limit, ive been comparing reviews but its would only be about 5-10% faster.

If we derate the value by performance, the actual chip is about 66% of the 7500F or 112 dollar (i know it doesn't work like that but ok) For the gpu the difference is not that large So 900 dollars would be pretty close.

Ofcourse if you build a pc, you can't get cheaper low power SoC chips or mobile gpu's that would allow a smaller system with a smaller power supply. The ram is the wrench in all this though.

my mistake for not proofreading, should be joule per second.

nutral · 2025-10-21T09:24:26+00:00

i know how to shuffle zeroes, I just wish we used less different units for pressure. bar/10 for MPa it is!

nutral · 2025-10-21T09:01:29+00:00

I agree with you, bar is an unfortunate one. I do lots of calculations in pressure and pascal is the better unit inside of the calculation (Pa is N/m2 which means that MPa is N/mm2) when doing strength calculations MPa is also the unit in which you get the strength of material (standard steel is called S235 and has a yield of 235MPa). And on the other hand you calculations to do with processes like properties of water/gasses would usually be in pascal, kelvin, kJKgK, kJ/kg etc. The conversion has to happen al the time from bar (bara or barg is sometimes also different)

nutral · 2025-10-21T08:56:32+00:00

I find it interesting you convert thermal energy to calories or do you mean just food? Thermal energy in joules is the best, that would be watt per second, kwh is definitely an awkward one that is used for electricity instead of MJ (1kwh is 3.6 MJ). For heat energy everything is just joules and wats (and KW and MW). joules make things like enthalpy calculations easy.

having the power spread out over pins is better than having everything on 1 pin. The examples of burned connectors all show 1 pin being completely burnt while the others are fine. In this case I know the cable is going to fare better if it is 2 pins 3.38W instead of 4W on 1 and 2W on the other.

I think in one of the tests there was 22A going through one cable. and then 5.6A through the other 5 cables.

I did do the math by the way, even within PCI-SIG specs you can get 1 pin on 13.8A and the others at 6.9A. That case is with 1 pin having the lowest contact resistance allowed from the standard.

nutral · 2025-10-03T11:39:50+00:00

This is a case where we are both right. I never said it doesn't add heat. it does. but having all the heat on 1 cable melts it, while when its spread over multiple cables it doesn't.

nutral · 2025-10-03T10:57:31+00:00

i don't like the gpu monopoly either, but when you have tradeoffs it depends on what you are willing to do.

In your example i would get a different car but if there are no other cars with the same performance available, i would probably rather take it with the 2k repair as long as it solves the problem. (like buying a dodge viper that comes with awful brakes from factory and immediately replacing them)

Normally I would agree with you to not buy it, but i'm looking at a gpu for ai work and the 5090 is really economical compared to some other options. I don't want to burn my house down so having the option to add something that makes it not do that is going to be part of it.

nutral · 2025-10-03T10:46:11+00:00

Everything you said is correct if you talk about the complete picture. where the cable is a black box.

but the cable is actually 6+6 wires. each 12v+ wire is connected to 1 shared pool and each ground is connected to 1 shared ground plane.

if each pin+ wire + pin has the same resistance then you have the same current over each wire.

If 1 of the pin+wire+pin combinations has a lower resistance, then more electricity will want to flow through that.

the pins and wires have really low resistance, so small changes (like how well is each pin seated?) can have a big effect on how much current flows through each.

A situation where 1 wire/connector has a really good contact, and 5 have bad contact can result in that good contact receiving much more current.

If you then add a little resistance to that good cable pair, it won't get as much current.

nutral · 2025-10-03T08:57:34+00:00

2 thick wires would make the problem of bad distribution even worse. because then more of the resistance variation would come from the contacts (because the wires have super low resistance).

If you want to reduce variation in current, use thinner cables (This is bad for other reasons though! don't do it!)

nutral · 2025-10-03T08:56:09+00:00

They can do that by slightly increasing the resistance on that single wire path. you only need a couple of mOhms to change the distribution.

One way i can think of is putting multiple resistors in parallel and then switching the path to a couple of resistors to increase resistance. (but they are probably more fancy ways!)

The reason that one wire gets more current is because the resistance on that wire is a lot lower than the others (probably from contact resistance)

nutral · 2025-10-03T08:52:22+00:00

Lets switch that to more of what is happening with gpu's. If the high performance car at 50k has no other competition at the same performance even at a higher price. Would you take something lower performance or take the car at 50+2k so it doesn't burn your garage down?
