    Plotwise, Westworld S1 was good, but I didn't give a shit about any of the characters or what happened to them afterwards. I could barely name any of them.

    Really wishing I had sold my SPY going into the close, there's no way this can hold up next week without retreating a bit.

    Bolded the 3 that are most significant. Also: consumer spending still holding up. Good GDP numbers. The feeling that we've hit the bottom of the bad news trough, even if there's obviously going to be good and bad news going forward. But the huge thing on the horizon is housing crash if...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    The part that's going to melt is going to be the part where the resistance happens. If there's a break at the end of the pin and it has to build up energy to overcome a gap, that's where the heat is going to be. Dumbed down explanation but that's my understanding of EE.

    Big P is right I think. All the cleaning girls at my old job had iPhones. Gens old and cracked, but they still had iPhones. Luxury product is buying a new iPhone every year or every other year. But plenty of people who aren't rich buy an iPhone as their primary digital device/digital...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Considering the 4080 isn't actually out yet, no, but it's pretty obvious from what we've already seen out of testing the 4090 with a 60% power limit, and then comparing to a 3080 ti which has more CUDA cores than a 4080. I think the 4080 is going to be an absolute dud of a card for the price...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Yes, if you choke the power on a 4090 to the rated TDP of a 4080 you will still get ~30% more performance. My point is that the 4090 is 30% more money for >60% more CUDA cores, that's fucking huge. 16128 vs 9728.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Not really. Even still, the same logic applies to a 13700K or even a 13600K. Seen people running a 13600K at <30w and still getting ridiculous performance out of it, basically turning their desktop CPU into something that draws less than an H-class mobile workstation CPU. Further, unlike...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    You can cut the power consumption on the 13900k by a fuckload, same with the 4090, if you're willing to give up the last single digits of performance you'll never need in any game or in most applications. A 13900k choked to 90 watts is more powerful than nearly anything ever produced, and at...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    The current itself generates a ton of heat. So running the cable directly into where the current is needed rather than running that current through the body of the card is preferable. Also, given the sheer amount of current we're talking about, one would think that having a custom length cable...

    To bring this back to investing: humans are addicted to status games. Whomever invents the best status game will profit. TikTok is currently the best status game in town, unless you're an establishment literati wordcel, then it's Twitter. If Meta is able to invent a better status game in the...

    I think this is gonna be a good series, it's already better than Westworld because it has characters that are actually likeable. More likeable in the show than they are in the book even. The sci-fi aspects are good and the tech/special effects are neat. You can tell whomever setup that...

    The warranty is a big part of the deal on this model, as there are serious questions to the longevity of the panel so Dell included a premium warranty with advance replacement as part of the package.

    The problem with any of those displays is that Windows can still get weird while using any type of adaptive sync and multiple displays with multiple refresh rates. That's why I actually moved to MouseWithoutBorders and separate computers to power my secondary and tertiary displays.

    Just binged this show over the past month or so. I spaced out a few times during S2 and S3, the show clearly doesn't respect your time at a few points in the run, especially during those middle seasons. Worth powering through though, because the best episodes are some of the best-written...
