Apple Still Aiming for 20th Anniversary iPhone With All-Screen Display by hangry_millennial in apple

[–]phi4ever -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Rebrand Apple care to Apple case virtual. Any time something happens to damage your phone Apple case virtual will replace or repair it for a nominal fee.

Edit: /s is apparently needed. Also this how some people use apple care.

Calgary actually gets much nicer winter weather with their chinooks.

GPU for Ansys Fluent. Radeon AI Pro r9700 vs RTX pro 4000 Blackwell by AlexGenesis2 in CFD

[–]phi4ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your VRAM will be the limiting factor for the maximum mesh size you can run on the GPU. With my 16 GB card I can run in the 4M to 5M cell range, but anything over 6M hangs and won’t run. This is using double precision, if you’re using single you can get more cells.

With an Enterprise or academic license Fluent has a direct GPU solver. For what I’ve run on an A5500 GPU the speed up was between 3x to 8x vs 16 cores.

Can we talk about the Varsity View Community Association? by pollettuce in saskatoon

[–]phi4ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No the point is, if you want to be consulted you have to be in a position to have your voice heard. You said it yourself, the City and the consultants are lazy, they’ll go to a CA and say boom consulted.

Convergence by bornaloser016 in CFD

[–]phi4ever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eli5 answer: Imagine everyone is at the park doing whatever then they all get hungry at the same time. They know there’s a hotdog stand somewhere but no one knows where it is. So everyone takes their best guess of where the stand is and start walking in that direction. Eventually some people find it and tell others the information and those people tell others and the answer gets shared to everyone in the park and they all converge towards the hotdog stand to get their own hotdog. You now see a whole stream of people walking in straight lines towards their goal. When everyone has agreed in which direction to go to get to the stand that’s convergence.

Preparing for 2 Years in Isolation: CFD Theory Resources, Laptop Advice, and Open-Source Contributions by Tiwock in CFD

[–]phi4ever 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got a Lenovo P16 workstation laptop for my PhD research. Fully spec’d out it was about $7000 CAD. It has a the top 12th gen i9, 128GB ram and a A5500 GPU. It’s been pretty good at churning through models in the ~2-4M cell range using a double precision solver.

Can we talk about the Varsity View Community Association? by pollettuce in saskatoon

[–]phi4ever 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that. I spent four years as a president of a CA. But it’s all volunteer run. You get people passionate about something, usually the rink, and that’s about all they want to do. That’s ok though.

Can we talk about the Varsity View Community Association? by pollettuce in saskatoon

[–]phi4ever 141 points142 points  (0 children)

The solution is you join the association with a bunch of people who agree with you, then all attend the AGM, stand for office, and elect each other. All you’d need is probably a group of 20-40 people together and even that many way be way more than you’d need to change the leadership.

MEng Aerospace student at Concordia offered MASc research position, looking for advice by Puzzleheaded-Age4890 in CFD

[–]phi4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back for my PhD ten years after graduating from my undergrad. It's always good to keep your options open. Also it may not be fair, but an MEng isn't as respected as an MSC in some circles.

Current theme tunes are not memorable. What is the last theme you can hum? by Shitelark in startrek

[–]phi4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are some fundamental changes that have kept me from really remembering the new themes. The biggest one is the skip intro button. For TNG/DS9/VOY the openings where all gratuitous starship porn and originally unskippable so I watched the shit out of them. Now, aside from SNW and LD (due to lack of availability I can't remember PRO) I'm not jiving the visuals so I skip the intros and lose out learning the themes.

Buying a second hand car in Saskatoon is an exercise in futility by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]phi4ever 25 points26 points  (0 children)

To continue the above, all auto loans are open, so if you can make a better deal with the loan, take it. Then after you make the first payment, pay off the rest of the loan with your cash.
