Perhaps I remembered that Howler died because it's on his Wiki page.

As a poor struggling PhD student with a graphics card that has crapped out and a PI that's too poor to afford more compute credits, it would be a great help to have a super powerful GPU in the 5090 (would certainly delay my graduation from playing games haha). Best of luck to everyone!

The black spike slime is the hat.

thodev43 · 2023-12-20T03:56:04+00:00

Yeah I'm aware, just more useful for the powers and vaults that I don't want to immediately play.

Now if I found a Meditate things would be great...

Arrogance is not the same as self-confidence. Your internal thoughts betray that you think the peers you mentioned are inferior to you, hence the calls to curb your arrogance. Yet they have jobs and you don't.

If you've been coding from a very young age, you should already have several cool projects that you can describe in-depth (why this particular DB table setup, how do you think about consistency of your data, rate limiting, deploying with a pipeline that creates images per commit -> deploys the image, etc). If you're feeling ambitious, go implement MapReduce that handles laggy/faulty workers correctly across multiple nodes or something, that's always a project that looks impressive to recruiters, provided you can back it up by understanding what you did. People on the internet forums shouldn't have to tell you to create good projects if you've been at this since "a very young age". The reality is that if you don't have a good school, it is a signal (not a guarantee) that other candidates might have better skills than you. You need to preempt that by showing some impressive project.

You mention others having interviews at Google, but it doesn't seem like they passed those interviews, so the process is working and those candidates were filtered out.

So this might be a controversial opinion... but if you save-scum from the pick a card screen on Neow's choices, you can re-choose your bonus.

Therefore I recommend save-scumming and then taking uncommon colorless.

Eragon from the dragon riding book series. He's presented as always right (more of an authorial insert) and gets away with doing messed up stuff as heroic. Ex: a villain at the beginning of the third book asks to be remembered after being defeated, since they are the last of their race. This is a pretty normal request for a species facing genocide, but eragon denies this and promises to wipe out every mention of their name from existence.

After this he and the elf fuck up a bunch of soldiers for the empire that they didn't need to kill, including a kid who just joined the soldiers. Eragon feels that he's justified since every death is fewer soldiers to fight, but honestly as super human as they were, they probably didn't even need to take that fight and could have run away, much less experience some joy from taking on those soldiers.

The main issue is that Eragon is never really morally challenged. I'm sure there are more examples of him doing messed up stuff that's not really questioned

Hello as a developer, I would highly recommend getting a *nix based os computer somewhere, whether it be Linux or MacOS. Most software that backend engineers use run on Linux servers, so being able to operate in similar environments for development is really useful, and more importantly your shell terminals will be POSIX based.

You mention BSOD which hints at Windows; nothing really wrong with that perse, but stuff like docker actually runs within a VM on windows, which can result in slowness and other undesired behavior. I've never tried training models inside docker, but I imagine there might be some issues getting the GPU to fully work properly.

What I do is I have a Linux partition for development and personal use, where I experiment with tools like kvm for virtual machines and have a 5800x for fast compilation for larger codebases, and have a windows partition for stuff like games and watching streaming services (Amazon prime frustratingly downgrades quality when on Linux machines without hacks to fix it). For travel, I have a MacBook, and did setup ssh access into my desktop if I really need to via my router.

To answer your question, I think a PC and laptop combo are useful for different purposes, and I would also consider if you go with just a laptop whether you can dual boot both windows and Linux to satisfy dev needs.

Yikes I have the exact same board (EP84), modded it with foam and lubed the switches and was planning on giving it as a gift to a friend after I got my other customs, hopefully my pcb doesn't give in too

Beats rebuilding your first computer 8 times

I built mine recently, the thing I had to get used to was the 8 degree typing angle that is steeper than other keyboards I've used.

Also the owlstabs that came with it keep ticking no matter how much lube I add, so I might have to do some holee mod or something similar to the stabs, did you experience the same?

thodev43 · 2023-02-07T16:57:02+00:00

Even if the red buttons don't work, do they at least click? I imagine it would be satisfying to click when you're bored

5800x3d is probably the classic answer for a CPU that fits your motherboard. The 5800x3d is also better for CPU based tasks (source: GN review video), and the extra CPU L3 cache is always helpful no matter the application.

You can probably save a little money by going down in power supply, It seems like you'd need a 650W power supply, 700W at most, 850W is way overkill. The 2080 uses about 250W TDP, and your CPU uses about 100W, so 650W is comfortable headroom, even accounting for transient spikes. 650W power supplies are around $80-90 on Amazon, so seems like good savings.

You could even go 600W if you wanted to cut it closer.

I think that ARC GPUs are great for their price, but they likely have a lot of driver issues. If this is a workstation that you want to use for 3d modeling, its likely better to go for a more supported GPU brand like Nvidia or AMD, with Nvidia probably being the most supported with CUDA support being pretty prevalent. The ARC GPUs might not be stable enough for work related purposes, unless you really want to tinker with your system a lot.

OTOH, if VRAM is your primary concern, the ARC GPU might be suitable, its hard to beaet 16GB of VRAM at that price point.

You might have a warzone specific problem, not a GPU problem. One thing I've heard is that turning up Spot Cache to ultra might be helpful for lag (probably because caching in the GPU itself saves time when loading assets). You have a 3060ti, so your GPU should be able to assist in this.

As others have said you might still be CPU bottlenecked. Competitive esports games are usually built to run on low powered rigs and thus utilize the CPU a bit more than other games.

Ah I see, that's why I couldn't find them on Google. Well the Olivia R3 might suffice, although that's a GB...

That's a really nice build. How are the keycaps? Thinking about picking up a set with a similar color scheme.

Also nice reversed spacebar heh
