I know people meme about “Zen 5%” (sidenote: genuinely a clever quip), but most of that is down to AMD massively reducing the power draw of the chips.

If you set it to the same power limits as Zen4, you can get large performance improvements.

Gamers have been saying for years that stuff is getting too power-hungry, but when steps were made to reverse this, they collectively lost their minds.

Seriously, what are they expecting, a 25% improvement in performance at half the power draw, while staying on a 5nm-family node?

AMD were dumb for thinking gamers give even the slightest fuck about power usage. Gamers would much more readily accept a CPU going from 120W to 500W if it meant an imaginary +20% perf uplift over a CPU going from 120W to 70W with a +5% perf uplift. I say imaginary because nobody with a high end CPU and a 4090 actually plays their games at 1080p low.

Yeah it makes zero sense. It’s a dumb conspiracy theory that people love to parrot whenever “their” driver has any problems.

Do you mean the race when that English person could earlier cut a corner overtake off the track, gain a massive advantage, and then later had to only lift off the throttle a bit which was then “the advantage was given back”?

Hahaha, you mean when he was pushed off track and had to take evasive action to avoid a crash? Then backed off the accelerator to negate any advantage he got from being shoved off the track, a situation that was entirely caused by Max in the first place, who was desperate for a crash that would secure the championship?

Lmao you cannot be seriously defending AD2021 and pretending you aren’t enormously biased, Mr Dutch-Username

No, they didn’t because the weren’t in the front row.

Ah, I forgot that safety regs only apply to P1 and P2. Silly me. I must have missed that FIA regulation. Can you point it out to me so I can read up on it?

While not theoretically impossible it’s impractical and unheard of for multiple trusted independent audit companies to be commissioned on an extremely regular basis.

Trustable proprietary software is like nuclear fusion as an energy source. Theoretically possible, but we sure as shit don’t have it.

He was last week and it was mostly fine, aside from Max not being punished for T8, which was actually a more egregious incident than his T4 antics.

Indeed.

However, proprietary code cannot be trusted to be trustworthy. FOSS can it’s just not guaranteed.

Surely you’ve realised your instance has a huge pro-russian, pro-china tankie presence?

Lemmy.ml admins me for being against Russia invading Ukraine and committing genocide lmao

If you aren’t a tankie, migrating your account could be something to consider.

Should’ve been a usual starting infringement 5s penalty. Stewarding has been awful this weekend.

This reminds me of Baku a few years ago where basically everyone aside from Hamilton ignored yellow flags, and rather than punish everyone who broke rules (that are of course in place for safety reasons!), they had an attitude of “well, if enough people do it we won’t punish them”.

Stop with the passport conspiracy nonsense, FFS.

It doesn’t even make sense. Someone with that same passport got a championship taken from them by the race director, then threatened with legal action, then threatened with expulsion from F1 over a damn nose stud.

Shit, in this very race Ollie Bearman got a 10s penalty.

Tsunoda and Lawson also aren’t British but did the exact same thing.

Gelsinger said the market will have less demand for dedicated graphics cards in the future.

Reminds me of decades ago when intel didn’t bother getting into graphics because they said pretty soon CPUs would be powerful enough for high-performance graphics rendering lmao

The short-sightedness of Intel absolutely staggers me.

I’m so fucking sick of this discussion.

If your income is in the form of dividends, stock selling, or collecting rent money, you’re not a worker.

If you work as an employee for a company, and are also a landlord on the side, then yes you are a worker. But you are a worker because of the working for a company part, not the landlord part.

End of discussion.

Now let’s look at a paragraph from this dog shit article, breaking it up into points…

I know investment bankers and corporate lawyers who work far more hours and under much greater pressure than me.

And? Nobody ever said investment bankers or lawyers weren’t workers. They work for companies and are paid.

They have no inherited income, come from ordinary backgrounds and their wealth is entirely down to their salary.

Ok? What does this have to do with assessing whether someone is a worker or not?

But that salary is simply too large for them to count as working people.

When did the government or anybody ever say that anyone with a decent salary isn’t a worker?

In any case, I’ve watched several episodes of Industry, and they are patently the wrong type of working people. And what’s more, they are having way too much sex, although Starmer has not quantified how much coupling working people are allowed.

I don’t even know what to say about this. Are they unrelatedly complaining about sex in a TV programme, or do they genuinely think Labour’s view on who counts as a worker comes down to how often that person has sex and how many people they have sex with?

It’s honestly embarrassing that FT even published this. Under a fucking £39 per month paywall too.

Indeed. Active users (say, used within the past month) is a much better metric.

I often wonder about this for many (especially older) YouTube channels - your channel is 15 years old, how many of your 500k subscribers actually still watch or even have active accounts?

I wonder what subscriber growth rate a typical YouTube channel needs just in order to maintain a consistent level of watchers?

What a time to be alive

Report away. Anybody reading this will agree it’s utterly insane to talk about drinking a glass of wine and fucking a toddler as of they are the same thing.

No, he thinks raping children is a good thing.

Saying “thought” implies he no longer does.

No I’m not

Yes you are.

This ban covers both the sale and operation of iPhone 16 models and extends to units already sold.

They’re getting it from there.

Bikes obviously have their place. For the time being, so do cars (although cities could certainly benefit from being less car-centric).

The operator of neither should be pissing about on their phones, both for their own safety and the safety of others.

I’ve had my jaw fractured by a cyclist who knocked into me due to not paying attention. I now have an ugly scar because of it.

There’s all kinds of obstacles in cities. Including hundreds of thousands to millions of people. I can tell you from experience that a bike going into you at 30-40 km/h will hurt.

It’s not at all unreasonable to be against people pissing about on their phones while cycling.

The issue is compounded by cyclists who ride through pedestrian areas, cyclists who seem to think red lights don’t apply to them, and people getting electric bikes and whizzing around effortlessly at a high speed.

I have iPlayer on my Nvidia shield, although I imagine it’s available for all Android TV boxes.

I’d avoid the no-name Chinese devices though. A shocking amount of them have straight up spyware on them, yet are still sold on Amazon.
