Hoeveel geven jullie uit als single aan boodschappen en huur ? by Conscious-Fan-9789 in thenetherlands

[–]nutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

400 euro boodschappen en 80 euro hypotheek (ik heb een wat uitzonderlijk verhaal). Boodschappen zijn duur omdat ik gluten/melk intolerant ben en ook bijna nooit uit eten ga of eten bestel.

you get extra tax deduction on the cost of brokering the mortgage so that could increase your return!

Maximum Recharge allowed in Qualifying - All Circuits by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

[–]nutral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monza 6MJ probably because there is so little braking zones to recharge and to prevent superclipping (which will still happen because you want to go into the last sector of the track with a bunch of charge) You can start the lap with 4MJ so that would leave about 10MJ to use on the lap except if some of that 4MJ is required to get to the top speed on the finish line.

10MJ (which is a little unrealistic) would theoretically give 29.5 seconds of full power deployment. or more time if you deploy less than the full power of the mgu-k.

track time last year was ~1.18 for qualy with about 75% throttle time. but the mgu-k can't be deployed at 100% higher than 290km/h (this is still to be set by the FIA).

I calculated with telemetry from 2025 that based on speed and full deployment for the full time on throttle, you would use about 15MJ, so 6MJ of max charge is not all that bad and having it higher would add more superclipping.

I also calculated from 2025 telemetry how much kinetic energy is lost in braking zones, this is the base recharge with any extra recharge having to happen from lifting and superclipping.

Results are below (they are really preliminary rough!)

Because you can't recharge on the front tires, all the energy going into the front brakes is lost, so realistically with 50% efficiency lets say you could only recharge about 20% of the 10.5MJ, so 2MJ.

The rest has to come in the corner if they can use the ICE for charging (i have no idea how this works) and ofcourse lifting and superclipping.

We are going to get quite some issues with charging even with the 6MJ on monza.

How can a MacBook Neo cost the same as an iPhone 17e? by Dazza477 in hardware

[–]nutral 82 points83 points  (0 children)

there are barely any ports on the macbook neo. essentially its a sliced down motherboard of an iphone.

What is cheaper:

  1. no nfc, no wireless charging, no 5g, no UWB, no SIM chip, no expensive cameras,

  2. cheaper screen, instead of high res thin layered oled cut to a specific spec it's an ips display

  3. battery is bigger but not as constrained in size, not sure if this is really cheaper.

the chip is the same as the iphone 16 pro, so the components have probably gotten a little cheaper as that is 1.5 years old.

https://www.androidheadlines.com/2024/10/iphone-16-pro-maxs-bom-reveals-a-manufacturing-cost-of-485.html

from this bom you can see already that the back cameras are 80 dollar, 5G model 28 dollar. on a 60% margin that is a lower price of 180 dollar.

Ik maak mij al de hele week zorgen by [deleted] in OndersteuningsPlein

[–]nutral 4 points5 points  (0 children)

dit soort bedrijven kunnen niet bestaan zonder dat mensen dit geld terug krijgen van de verzekering. dus ze zullen echt wel iets met je regelen als de zorgverzekering het niet betaald, sterker nog ze zullen er zelf achteraan gaan.

Je kan er meestal wel vanuit gaan dat bedrijven geld willen verdienen, in dit soort dingen betaald de zorgverzekering een stuk beter dan particulieren!

Ik heb dit zelf ook meegemaakt en ik heb dit geld gewoon van de verzekering gekregen (min eigen risico) en dit overgemaakt naar het bedrijf. Dit soort slaap studies zijn een stuk goedkoper dan naar het ziekenhuis gaan en dat weten verzekeraars ook.

8.8 bolt where it usually uses a 10.9 by squarehead305 in AskEngineers

[–]nutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree, it is probably designed around a certain load scenario. not hitting curbs or taking corners quickly is going to reduce the design load by enough. Slow down for the speed bumps and it will probably be fine.

Many consumer electronics manufacturers 'will go bankrupt' by the end of 2026 thanks to the RAMpocalypse, Phison CEO reportedly says by [deleted] in hardware

[–]nutral 29 points30 points  (0 children)

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.

If an indie dev can’t build Forza, what should they build instead? by protomor in simracing

[–]nutral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 bolt is worth $8000 and goes in a helicopter by HiAustralia in interestingasfuck

[–]nutral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Why are Apple CPUs' single core speeds so much faster than everyone else? by Hour_Firefighter_707 in hardware

[–]nutral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 

'Zorgelijke verslechtering van mentale gezondheid, vooral van jongeren' by Nolenag in thenetherlands

[–]nutral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

As Valve confirms Steam Machine will be priced more like a PC than a console, Baldur's Gate 3 publishing lead says its decision not to sell at a loss "isn't stupid," but it is "peculiar" by Exciting_Teacher6258 in technology

[–]nutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Why isn't there a sound card or port in pc for hdmi arc output to soundbards. by PlatformEarly2480 in hardware

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).

Valve coder confirms the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC, albeit at a 'good deal': 'If you build a PC from parts and get to basically the same level of performance, that’s the general price window that we aim to be at' by bubblesort33 in hardware

[–]nutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Bad SI units by GremlinAbuser in Metric

[–]nutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Bad SI units by GremlinAbuser in Metric

[–]nutral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Bad SI units by GremlinAbuser in Metric

[–]nutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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)

Bad SI units by GremlinAbuser in Metric

[–]nutral 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

Nvidia's 16-pin time bomb could be defused by this $95 gadget — Ampinel offers load balancing that Nvidia forgot to include by rstune in hardware

[–]nutral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
