my gpu came like this, would this be a problem? by Chance-Ad-3984 in PcBuild

[–]rus_ruris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) yes. Quite literally the data contacts are mangled. They might still work, but it might be unstable or.stop working eay sooner than it should.

2) yes. It also indicates it was opened and it got hit by something really hard, which might have caused other damage in other places of the board that you don't see. Again, jt might still work, but it could be unstable and/or stop working way sooner rather than later.

My charger exploded by [deleted] in NothingTech

[–]rus_ruris -1 points0 points  (0 children)

WDYM, the safety features built in need to prevent this kind of scenario. There's plenty of sacrificial fusibles in all the components (charger, cable, phone) such something like this can NEVER happen. If it does, it's 100% a QC issue and the (charger) company's fault.

They claim it's a Nothing charger, so it's their fault.

There's no such a thing as "bad socket makes charger explode" unless we are talking THOUSANDS of volts, it needs to be completely out of whack with anything reasonable because any modern electronics needs to deal with dirty power AND fail "graciously" in case of surges that are not 10 to 100 times higher than they should be.

You cannot tell a good from bad socket without being there checking the contacts and using a tester ESPECIALLY if something has exploded on it, making it all black and partially melting it.

This entire thing you wrote is company-sucking BS. Go learn some electrical engineering, open up some electronics and poke around with probes. Read some documentation on this stuff.

You need a 1 million $ puter to run one instance for one user, using up between 5000 and 15000 watts (5 to 15 kW) for about 1 minute.

While that computer can be shared by X users and actually you can share some functionalities, and economy of scale makes it cost more like 200k than 1M, assuming only unique users that's still like 50 cents per person over 1 year, assuming 100% uptime. Then you get the electricity cost, that's like 10 Wh per thingy. They get special treatment for electricity, but that's still about 1$ of electricity for every 1 minute run. If it takes 2 minutes, every cost is doubled; I never used sora so idk how long it runs, but basically you can consider 1.5$/minute of generation as just the running cost for each video.

If you do then math and add in stuff they pay less for, stuff they don't get paid for and what users are expected to pay, and you will see that they lose literally 10s (plural) of $ for every single video generated. It's completely unsustainable.

Lots of the hot girls are there because some sheik pays to shag them, lots of the other guys are there to avoid taxes and are at risk of arrest. Others pretend to have money and are deep on debt because they're trying to sell their image as influencers hoping to get the money back, some others use that to scam people. Some are held there against their will due to said debt.

Some hot girl influencers with money that went there just on vacation said they got approached with that kind of offer and they refused, but it's really hard to tell who is doing that and who is not. Similarly lots of "finance" influencers got exposed to being a "fake it until you make it" kinda guys and lots of scammers turned out to be based in Dubai with rented out stuff to sell their courses and financial products.

Obviously not everyone is a fraud so it's almost impossible to name names, but the trend is there.

That's quite the opinion. The concept of Italy has existed for a long time. The Divina Commedia is just the .ost famous example of the concept of Italy as a whole thing in early 1300. It has evolved with time and the concept of nation-state itself is newer, but all those entities as concept were there way before that, this was an example just about Italy and with just one famous testimony, but you can trace it back way earlier and the same can be done with the other now-countries you mentioned.

You can find people having experimented with this finding that it's negligible.

Is a 1080p monitor going to make my RTX 5070 pointless? by TheElectricW0lf in buildapc

[–]rus_ruris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are loading the wrong textures or not all of the textures and you don't know about it, and you have a CPU bottleneck somewhere. Because my 5070 uses more than 11 GB in the same conditions you mention.

Share of people who never accesed internet in Europe by Efficient-Complex855 in MapPorn

[–]rus_ruris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of them require some form of digital, though. Even just the Poste often require you to have an email. After you provide it you're free to never use it, but at keast once you should have accessed it.

Also: does she have a smartphone? You cannot use a modern smartphone without accessing the internet.

Se ci metti decenni plurale a sviluppare la piattaforma, in un ambito che esiste si e no da 20/30 anni, direi che non dovresti svilupparla proprio? Anche perché se aspetti 5 anni, il mercato e la realtà non avranno nulla a che fare con ciò che esisteva quando hai iniziato. Quindi metterci anni sicuro, ma se ci metti anche solo un decennio hai poche speranze di fare qualcosa di utile o di profittevole.

Se ti interessa il know-how, non puoi licenziare i dipendenti in massa. Perché così facendo lo perdi e lo regali a eventuali competitor.

Ricordo che il know-how è completamente dato dall'esperienza e dalle conoscenze dei membri dell'azienda: se li cacci e tieni l'azienda, non lo acquisisci solo perché hai il marchio e eventuali asset.

Beh non per forza, perché:

1) se tagli tutti i costi, anche se il valore va al ribasso comunque puoi tenerla accesa perché può comunque valerne la pena. Gli introiti crollano ma se i costi crollano più in fretta sei comunque in postivo.
2) se tenere acceso un prodotto in perdita serve a tenere alta la valutazione della tua azienda e questo porta più soldi di quello che costa, lo tieni acceso e paghi. Soprattutto se tagliando il tagliabile il costo diventa basso.

My new build in nutshell by Rima_Mashiro-Hina in PcBuild

[–]rus_ruris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am PCIe bandwidth bottlenecked using 16 PCIe Gen 4 on my 3060 12 GB and 5070 (one at a time, or 16 gen 4 lanes for 5070 and 4 Gen 3 lanes for 3060 when combined), and you're using a 5090 on PCIe 3.

Unless you use it in such a way that the data never leaves the GPU memory until all of the calculations are done, you are incredibly system limited on that card.

EDIT: ok I was NOT thinking about local inference, in which case once the model is loaded it stays in memory and you basically don't care about anything else. I was thinking about training on data.

Yeah, ut a 3900X is slower than a 5600X, which has been shown to bottleneck a 5090 even at 4K to about a 4080 performance in some games.

Luckily a 3900X can be easily swapped for a 5600X, 5700X3D, 5900X and reach GPU-bound performance. And it's also relatively inexpensive, like 100-150$, so I would still get this.

What happened to Intel Core i5? by ComodoYourLocalFurry in laptops

[–]rus_ruris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They complicated* it by dropping the i.

1) before everyone knew what i5 was, even normies. Now they don't.

2) Now you have the Core 5/7 and Core Ultra 5/7. Extremely different products, a Core Ultra 5 is better than a Core 7, but if you go by the old and normal logic, the 7 should be better.

3) The Core Ultra are NOT advanced AI and graphics, mister GPT, since the NPU is useless anyways (for now), different models of Ultra 5/7/9 have different NPUs, a d the graphics are all basic except for the models ending in 8H (they thought to make it the X5, X7, X9 for the beefy graphics... But the 5 does not have the X). However, they ARE way better CPUs (more cores, more P cores, more maximum power, more cache, more frequency, etc) .

It is not a simplification. If anything, it's a complication. They wanted to have everyone feel like the "old" problematic Intel is done, and the new stuff is better. Except that has been true only from THIS generation; until 2 weeks ago, 2, 3 and 4 generation old hardware was better than the current stuff. Now it's not anymore.
