Mr.Radar posted:Jeff Geerling did a collab with Serve The Home to compare a cluster of Raspberry Pis against a "real" ARM server: It's 128 cores (no SMT) at (so far) up 3GHz, while AMDs best competitor only manages 96 cores at 2.1GHz and Intels best 3rd-gen Xeon Scalable tops out at a paltry 40 cores at 2.3GHz. SMT doesn't get used in HPC workloads (because it often leads to poorer performance), nor does it get used in in multi-tenancy workloads you find at most hyperscalers because of cache incoherent (customer) data. I've yet to see any HPC system use turbo-boost, which mostly comes down to cluster integrators not trusting that clock variability will give consistent calculations. EDIT: Also, it's worth mentioning that the until recently #1 on TOP 500 was based on an absolute shitload of ARM CPUs by Fujitsu built for Riken - and that was on a much different ARM IP with only 48 cores per CPU.

Rubellavator posted:Linus' house is basically groverhaus 2.0 I really don't think he cares, at least not at the moment, but things might get a bit awkward when he eventually sells his tech mansion and realizes that the average person doesn't care that he spent $10k for infrastructure that allows you to heat your pool with the dissipated heat of your home server rack. "And here we have the LAN basement, I ran fiber through the walls and ceiling to a KVM that switches between here and the upstairs office" "Oh, cool... My wife has a MacBook for work but the kids and I have iPads" To be fair he already knows that and he's just having fun building his dream house; I'm just hoping that he fails like I hope every rich person fails and then has to squeeze every penny from his internet café home.

Slumming it in Linus' basement like people do in internet cafes in Japan so Linus can afford to pay his mortgage.

LTT is in the area with the highest housing costs in canada except for maybe toronto. The cavernous voids are an ego trip, just in case him making his staff work on his house for free didn’t make it obvious

Linus has said that they ask if the employee wants to help out, and they pay them. They have literally said that they play it up in front of the camera. The house it seems he got a bit of a deal on, in as much as one can in Vancouver. It was in the middle of a remodel when it looks like the previous owner ran out of money or something, and sold the house. Linus is an idiot in many things, but getting mad at him for them hamming it up for the camera, and taking advantage of promo stuff is quite silly.

I thought Linus was in Surrey, an area that has some nice areas but is still not as insanely expensive as Vancouver proper. Surrey is also the butt of a lot of jokes, regionally.

I was watching this Veritasium video about Fast Fourier Transforms and ... is that the "FFT" being referred to when we run a "small FFT" stress test with Prime95?

Yes. There is at least one, maybe more FFTs that are a good way to relatively quickly rule out if a number might be prime or not. Prime95 wasn't conceived as a stress testing tool, it was intended to find prime numbers.

Fast Fourier Transformations underpin a big part of computing, since they're used for both video, audio and image compression of some of the most commonly used formats.

Youtube is acting up at the moment, memory hogging like crazy. Seemed to stop at 'only' 1.3GB when I opened a tab in Chrome for a bit and just sat on the front page, might have closed the browser too fast to see though. In Firefox it just keeps going constantly for me. Got to 4GB per tab x 2 tabs idling on the front page before it started to chafe against my 16GB total and annoying me with lag so I closed them. Various forums, reddits and websites in flames over the past hour, mostly people whose apps keep crashing after 20 seconds lol. E: Issue also occurs with embeds btw, so loading this thread sure is an annoying trip to the task manager every time

Youtube has gotten a shitshow performance wise anyway. Seeking videos is lagging as hell, several seconds or more before it starts playing again and such. And minimum network activity during that time. Seems they got stingy with bandwidth. That or their ad-code is fighting my UBlock and Adguard Home, attempting to fetch ad video until it gives up.

It's not just YouTube, it looks to be happening across the whole Google product suite. Loading up a Google Sheet is shooting my browser's RAM usage by 1.2-1.3GB per tab.

Interesting, google sheets isn't doing anything on Desktop Firefox for me unlike Youtube. Generally the issues seem inconsistent across devices, services and applications.

Youtube via the official app has become adverts occasionally interrupted by content. Two un-skippable adverts like clockwork at 5 minutes, or immediately if I skip forward. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the same god drat advert for a Google Pixel . I assume it's some combination of late stage capitalisms need for ever big numbers and an attempt to push me to a subscription.

There's a publicly owned TV company in the UK, Channel 4, who detect when you don't have focus on the tab and pause the advert until you do. Until I came across that I put up with advert to fund the service, but that pushed me in to using an adblocker in them too...

not that i really cared about the rounded new youtube look, but after having it for a while it disappeared, together with ambient mode. don't know if there's a switch, can't find one in the settings. the new look reappears if i log out/go incognito Rinkles fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Dec 1, 2022 |

It's probably an A/B test where they only enable it on some users. Tech companies love doing that lately.

LTT recently did a video about how USB-C can be used for power delivery in instances that would otherwise require a power brick. I tried a cursory look-around and sure enough, there are devices are basically a female USB-C port on one end, and then the male rounded power-adapter plug on the other end. Presumably you could plug a charging cable's male end into the USB-C port, and the other end goes to a charger, and power your laptop that way. I'm intrigued and interested, but my big question is: could this be used to power a laptop with a power bank? The power bank's female USB-A port, with the USB-A male end of a charging cable, running to the USB-C male end of a charging cable, plugged into the female port of the power delivery device, which then plugs into the power adapter port of the laptop. I'm thinking no, or that you'd need a certain rating of power bank output (and cable?), or that you won't be able to expect a lot of power from a power bank relative to a laptop battery, but I'm quite curious if this could be made to work. fake EDIT: I took another look and it seems like there are also cables that are male USB-C on one end, and male power adapter on the other end, so the cable could go directly into the female USB-C port of a charger or a power bank, but the principle should be the same, right?

I'm trying to parse that and can't understand how what you're asking for is any different from a normal USB-C power supply?
