Numerlor··on Better pre-commit, re-engineered in Rust
I recently found out I've been banned from all of their repositories on GitHub, while as far as I'm aware our only interaction was on a duplicated bug issue I created, as I didn't manage to find the original with GitHub's search like in the linked issue from the OP.

I've been moving away from their tools with this and the resistance to implement/merge useful things that basically everyone wants

Also anyone living at higher latitudes won't be thrilled by having the sun up even earlier. I don't live that high up compared to quite a lot of people in Europe, and during summer the sun already starts shining from below the horizon at 3 in the morning
Numerlor··on Fury Mounts over a Global A.I. Frenzy
Main "issue" is that evaporative cooling is just ridiculously effective compared to a normal heat exchanger with only air.

You can use water or air internally but then to get rid of the heat from the facility there aren't many choices. You either put it into the air which is cheap, into nearby water bodies which has other environmental concerns, or into the ground which is expensive. The air is the simplest, cheapest solution and using water for evaporative cooling in dryer climates makes it even better

Numerlor··on Nvidia sells tiny new computer that puts big AI on your desktop
I believe just inference is bandwidth limited, prompt processing and other tasks on the other hand needs the compute. As I understand it, the workstation is also as a whole focused on the local development process before readying things for the datacenters, not just running LLMs
Numerlor··on Spray Cooling – Recreating Supercomputer Cooling on a Desktop CPU [video]
The cooling should be better, especially with higher wattage chips (either out of the box, or overclocked). The AIOs have gotten a lot better with faster pumps.

Noise should also be lower again assuming you'd be actually cooling enough power with an air cooler that'd require higher fan RPMs. Pump noise differs by model, with quite a lot of them being silent

Numerlor··on Nvidia sells tiny new computer that puts big AI on your desktop
The GPU is significantly faster and it has cuda, though I'm not sure where it'd fit in the market.

At the lower price points you have the AMD machines which are significantly cheaper, even though they're slower and with worse support. Then there's apple's with higher memory bandwidth and even the nvidia agx Thor is faster in GPU compute at the cost of worse CPU and networking, and at the 3-4K price point even a threadripper system becomes viable that can get significantly more memory

Numerlor··on Django: One ORM to rule all databases
We've been running Django's orm under litestar without any issues for maybe 2 years now. We just run django's setup with a minimal settings config as a part of the app startup

Numerlor··on JetBrains will start training AI on your code on non-commercial license
The jetbrains UI redesign actually allowed me to reclaim screen space. I immediately jumped on the beta and stayed with it in every editor.

Though there are other issues with their ides like slow fixing of reported bugs, and improper support for new feature which is most likely because of the bespoke implementation of everything

Numerlor··on I am giving up on Intel and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D
The only reason the 7800x3d is power efficient is because it simply can't use much power, and so it runs at a better spot of the efficiency curve. Most of the CPUs won't use more than ~88w without doing manual overclocking (not pbo). Compare that to e.g. a 7600x that's 2 cores fewer on the same architecture and will happily pull over 130w.

And even if could push it higher, they run very hot compared to other CPUs at the same power usage as a combination of AMD's very thick IHS, the compute chiplets being small/power dense and 7000 series X3D cache being on top of the compute chiplet unlike 9000 series that has it on the bottom.

The 9800x3d limited in the same way will be both mildly more power efficient from faster cores and run cooler because of the cache location. The only reason it's hotter is that it's allowed to use significantly more power, usually up to 150w stock, for which you'd have to remove the IHS on the 7800X3D if you didn't want to see magic smoke

Numerlor··on Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward
The least technical people will be fine because they only use their 4 programs where a Chromebook would probably be enough.

Between those and the people that can navigate everything on Linux, there'll be mildly technical people. Those may explore things that are out of the ordinary but will be unable or unwilling to fix issues that could arise from that

Numerlor··on The MiniPC Revolution
When I was thinking about this k came to the conclusion you need a high specced mini pc, route out oculink from it and run an external GPU. For daily you'll have a powerful CPU with a decent igpu, and gaming will go to the external dgpu.

Otherwise you're stuck with lower performing gpus, as normal ram at least in its current state won't be able to approach the bandwidth necessary to keep up with a full fat high end gpu. And nobody is making mini pcs that work like laptops with normal dgpus so you're stuck with igpus with the normal solutions

Numerlor··on Uncle Sam shouldn't own Intel stock
Intel never in any way gave up on r&d, their main problem was failing to get their new tech working, and a couple of had bets.

The random acquisitions and board leadership didn't help intel but r&d had plenty of money poured in

App wise what do you prefer on OnePlus? I switched from Samsung to a 13r and miss the moveable button. The 2x zoom camera's color balance is also wildly different from the main camera's, would've much preferred a macro camera like on the Samsung

Already got bit by this, remembered an external SSD I opened had a review there and wanted to compare hardware, and wasn't able to get to the review
Numerlor··on Fast and cheap bulk storage: using LVM to cache HDDs on SSDs
Buying 3-4 $600 ssds instead of HDDs that cost about quarter of that is quite a bit difference.

Though I feel like it's cheaper and sufficient for most home use nas to buy some cheap phased out ddr4 to get let's say 128gb and let it cache things there, and the ram can be handy for other uses

Numerlor··on Itch.io: Update on NSFW Content
> Applying moderation and reacting to legitimate complaints in time would have prevented pressure from building up so massively that payment networks or politicians even have a leg to stand on.

How would moderation help when the games that are being removed from the platforms are perfectly legal, and in compliance with the terms the platforms out on the creators?

The only problem with the games is that a highly influential group of people views them as immoral, and use them as a stepping stone towards achieving their broader goal of censoring all adult content.

The nazi thing may have brought a little bit more attention to Steam but I really can't imagine it was a big decisive factor instead of Steam's allowing of porn games and displaying them on the best selling lists with the adult options enabled
