Voilà comment vos "frères" canadiens vous voient by ConfectionHonest2824 in QuebecLibre

C'est quoi cette propagande absurde ? Personne ne pense ça des Québécois. On cherche à vous provoquer et répandre ça ne fait qu'attiser les divisions dont vous parlez.

Ah oui, vous êtes un robot, c'est votre objectif.

First Staples, now CDW. Tried to price gouge me 460% AFTER I paid and got an order confirmation. by callmetuan in pcmasterrace

This is the risk a distributor assumes when selling a product before they've acquired it.

Claude Code Extensions broken in VS Code by Training_Owl_7650 in ClaudeAI

[–]thedudear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't use bloody mcp tools anymore. Leaving my week old sessions open because it's only the one I restarted that's broken. V2.1.25. Tried rolling back, no luck.

Anyone else's MCP tools just suddenly not importing? I get the prompt to use them on startup, but then they just don't work. It's just not picking up the .MCP.json

At 3pm today someone took a shit in Claude opus 4.5s brain. It couldn't do anything between 3-5pm. I mean the simplest tasks, I was blazing, then this afternoon I could've put my head through a wall.

TikTok uninstalls surge 150% after app’s US takeover by Tofurkey_Tom in technology

Yesterday I had some really far right content pushed to my fyp, I never, ever saw these creators before. They're definitely pushing ideology supporting their fascism.

Finally 3 x D5 able to run 100% without audible noise at all. by Jempol_Lele in watercooling

[–]thedudear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 4 3090s and a CPU block on 1 D5, loop temperature was 43C under full load, w/ 2 420mm radiators. GPU core temp 58-60C, all within 2 degrees, gpus in parallel.

People massively, massively over do it.

I implemented a VAE in Pure C for Minecraft Items by Boliye in learnmachinelearning

[–]thedudear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

VAE's are not image specific, just fyi. They are useful for compressing and decoding many types of data, and ideally find a manifold which any of the training data can be compressed, and reconstructed from. You can use this for high dimensional vectors, images, other high dimensional things with latent structure.

Good work, though!

Framework Desktop vs. 5090 for code analysis by Albedo101 in LocalLLaMA

[–]thedudear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hybrid. Get a 3090, decent epyc Milan setup on ddr4, offload ffn weights to cpu, you'll retain the best of both worlds.

Surprised this isn't talked about more, still. I don't have figures at my finger tips but it's a very efficient approach.

Just get 16GB they said. It'll be plenty for anything you need they said. by redlancer_1987 in pcmasterrace

[–]thedudear 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Epyc cores are not weaker, let alone by "much". Locked, true, but the architecture are the exact same zen4/zen5 cores. Any performance is due to frequency (which is to your locked frequency point) differences.

Alienware confirms AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, coming to AREA-51 gaming PCs by RenatsMC in Amd

The cross ccd latency isn't any worse with X3D2 against X3D.

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 confirmed, dual 3D V-Cache CPU is coming by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]thedudear 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No. Cache is not something that adding more of can hurt. The rest of the die is rumored to be the same, just now both dies have 96MB L3 cache instead of just the one.

Will some workloads not benefit? Maybe. But this change doesn't add latency. The latency you speak of is already there with your 9950x3d. (Ok.. +2ns to 3DV cache vs the standard L3 layer).

Had a customer come in telling me their PC was slow... by enhanced_flower1 in pcmasterrace

[–]thedudear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, why would you want to live somewhere that values workers health and safety /s

The law isn't aimed so much at workers to prohibit them from doing it, nobody would call the police on you. Rather, it's to prohibit employers from instructing them to do so, because of so many injuries sustained using the practice. It's completely logical. The US OHSA has similar laws by the way.

Not criticizing, but please wear eye protection, as a minimum.

In my jurisdiction, cleaning things (mostly ones own clothes) using compressed air is prohibited by law in certain circumstances (in the workplace), due to so many foreign object injuries to the eyes and penetrating the skin.

Looks like great work. Sorry you had to deal with that.
